5 wild lineups we can’t wait to see in the 2023-24 NBA season

5. Does anyone have more offensive firepower than the Phoenix Suns?

Hypothetical Lineup: Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Eric Gordon, Kevin Durant, Keita Baites-Diop

Ever since Mat Ishbia bought the Phoenix Suns you could argue he’s had one driving ethos in all the moves he has made: get players who can get buckets. This lineup epitomizes that and yes, disregards defense entirely. Because who needs defense when you know no one can stop your team?

Okay, the Suns will definitely need defense at some point, but they should absolutely try this lineup out. Booker and Durant are two of the best isolation players in the league, who are comfortable scoring from beyond the arc, midrange, and at the rim.

If a team has two defenders well equipped to slow them down? No problem, just let Beal attack.

Even if teams figure out how to slow those three down — with rim protection or great defensive rotations — their teammates will likely be left open.

That means Gordon, a career 37 percent 3-point shooter, or Baites-Diop, who shot 39 percent from deep last season.

The Suns would truly be telling every opponent to pick their poison with this lineup, and every team in the league should fear it.
