All you can do is run it out again next year with the mantra "it takes super teams usually two years to gel."

There are more and more of those these days. I think it's justified. The outcome is pretty obvious. The Suns used to be appointment viewing for my family, but haven't been for some time.
If it's the journey you're after, you're getting it, haha. I think all of us were sold some BS on this group from the time the KD trade was made. Then again, after the past 2 years' playoff experience, I think it was clear that team wasn't getting back to the 2021 level.
Clearly, barring catastrophic collapses by every other playoff team, this team is not only not good enough to measure up, they haven't meaningfully improved in the areas that would even give them a real chance.

I think a lot of fans have already resigned themselves to this that the Suns aren't good enough this season.
The scary part is this is probably as good as we will be given our lack of bench and the advancing age of KD plus our luxury tax situation we are probably going to have to go bargain hunting again even if we manage to resign Grayson and Royce.
The only glimmer of hope is if we draft a steal in the next draft and he turns out to be a Haliburton or Maxey type of player.
