Pretty much. This really is not surprising. It was the most probable outcome I'd say.

KD can no longer beat a team with just his scoring alone and he doesn't do the other things well enough to impact the game.
Booker is the exact same. He doesn't pass, play make or get stops or anything else that will impact a game enough to lead a team.
And Beal is a tier below Booker. And now he's out...again...
Brunson cooked these dudes and created opportunities for his teammates to succeed.
Suns need to blow that **** up asap. Trade Booker while he still has the wool pulled over the medias eyes or trade KD.
Realistically it's not gonna happen but should. Last chance is to trade Nurkic or package some of those mid players for a PG but as is PHX is toast...BK is head and shoulders the winner of that KD trade.
And if you feel the solution is "Bradley Beal has been hurt give them a chance to be fully healthy and gel" then you'd be focusing on the wrong problem.

KD is still good but relative to the rest of the league he's no longer THAT guy. He used to lead the league in PER/WS48 (or near the very top) but he has dropped back a bit. He's below Booker in WS/48. Below Lebron too. I think he's still a borderline top 10 player but definitely not top 3 anymore. I don't understand why Ishbia thought this superteam would work. The last one to work was the Warriors but that team also had depth. The Heat before them had 3 guys in their prime (at the start). It fell apart due to injuries. We started with injury prone guys, so...?
You still need to put a team together than can defend and make timely buckets (from your role players). It's clear this team is severely lacking in that. And what Beal provides isn't what we need. We need someone that can run the offense in the 4th quarter and we need some grit and toughness and guys that can defend. So I don't see Beal coming in and saving the day for us.

Draymond cost them 2016, cost them KD, punched Poole and got him traded too. This season also costing the Warriors a bunch of games. Guy is a nut job and idk how warrior fans can defend this guy after all the damage he’s done to the franchise.
KD has now gone an wasted his time in Brooklyn, now the Suns. This is a guy that could’ve been winning championships for years with Curry and instead is doing nothing. What a waste of talent wow

He's been playing well as of late but he's a turnstyle on defense and can't score anywhere inside with high efficiency if his life depended on it. Like he blew a wide open dunk against the Nets with no one around him that's how bad he is.
He's an above average passer for his position but he's no Jokic and relying on him to do PG duties would be pretty foolish.
