Every coach can use a star who acts as vocal leader to help steer their team in the right direction \u2014 except Mike Budenholzer, apparently.<\/p>\n
According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, Budenholzer, the Suns\u2019 head coach, met with the four-time All-Star and two-time All-NBA shooting guard Devin Booker and \u201ccompletely shocked\u201d his star with what he had to say.<\/p>\n
\tSources: Weeks ago Suns coach Mike Budenholzer called a meeting with Devin Booker imploring he tone it down vocally, leaving the star shocked. Inside that meeting which provides context to Booker\u2019s postgame remarks on communicating. #haynesbriefs Brought to you by @MoveInsoles pic.twitter.com\/sVlTWB4Mrh\u2014 Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) February 28, 2025 <\/p>\n
\u201cWeeks ago, Mike Budenholzer called [Booker] into his office to issue a complaint,\u201d Haynes said. \u201cThat complaint, I\u2019m told, was that Booker was being too vocal on the court and during timeout huddles.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c[Budenholzer] implored his star guard to tone it down to allow for the coach\u2019s voice to be heard,\u201d Haynes added.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unclear when exactly \u201cweeks ago\u201d was within Phoenix\u2019s schedule, but coming into February, the Suns had won 10 of their last 14 games. <\/p>\n
After starting the season 8-1 before then falling to as bad as three games below .500, this 10-of-14 stretch put them right back in the thick of the Western Conference at 25-22.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This solid stretch was just a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n
Since February began, though, Phoenix has won just two games and has lost 10 \u2014 sitting at 27-32 and 3.5 games back of even making the Western Conference play-in tournament.<\/p>\n
So what has gone wrong this month?<\/p>\n
Well, Booker ironically cited a lack of communication.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt could be fixed with just a little bit more talking,\u201d Booker said after Phoenix\u2019s loss to the Pelicans on Thursday. \u201cThings get tough, we get quiet as a team and, from my experience and what I\u2019ve seen, that\u2019s not the way to get through it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d rather two people say the wrong thing to each other out there than nobody talk at all,\u201d Booker added. \u201cAny job or any group project you do, you have to do it together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Just four years removed from an NBA Finals appearance, the Suns are, for the most part, a completely different team and organization from top to bottom aside from the 10-year veteran Booker.<\/p>\n
The latest NBA Big 3 experiment with Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal looks to be going up in flames, and as long as Booker and Budenholzer are butting heads, those flames might never get put out before engulfing the team completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
