Suns Make 2 Big Changes In Starting Lineup

It’s very obvious that something isn’t right with the Phoenix Suns and things need to change.

The team has lost four in a row, is the 12th seed in the West, and looks completely dysfunctional.

Because of that, they are making a major adjustment.

Chris Haynes is reporting, via NBACentral, that the Suns are expected to move Bradley Beal and Jusuf Nurkic from the starting lineup.

This could be the answer to their problems, but it could also create new headaches for Phoenix.

Reportedly, rookie Ryan Dunn and big man Mason Plumlee will take their place.

Beal and Nurkic are talented players, which is why they have been in the starting five since the start of the season.

But Phoenix’s veteran roster hasn’t been achieving what it’s supposed to this year and they have fallen from grace after starting the season with a 9-2 record.

Beal is putting up 17.8 points a game this season but his shooting percentages have dropped.

As for Nurkic, he is averaging 8.8 points and 9.5 rebounds.

The team’s chemistry is a huge problem and they are not working like a cohesive unit.

Over the last several weeks, they have been defeated again and again and it’s become painfully clear that things aren’t working well.

Will this roster change help the Suns?

It’s possible, but it could also create even more strife in the locker room and lead to trades featuring Beal and Nurkic.

What happens if the Suns make this change and they still struggle?

What other adjustments can they commit to that may change their fate?
