FOX Sports star Joy Taylor believes thes the new-look Phoniex Suns can win an NBA championship.
The 36-year-old Speak cohost stated she thinks that the Suns' trading Chris Paul for Bradley Beal allowed them to compete with anyone in the Western Conference.
Joy was joined by former NFL player LeSean McCoy, Emmanuel Acho, and NBA analyst Ric Bucher to discuss the trade.
On Monday, the Suns traded with the Washinton Wizards to acquire Beal for Paul in a blockbuster deal.
The segment asked the group to decide if fans should expect the Suns' Big 3' to win a title and where this trade puts the roster.
Joy underlined that this made them just as dangerous as anyone in the West.
Although she acknowledged the team would lack depth due to the deal, Joy believes that moving other pieces can solve that issue.
"This is the definition of a top-heavy roster."
"They only have five guys who are under contract, so they will need more actual players."
"But I anticipate that Deandre Ayton will be moved and that they are going to fill out the rest of their roster."

NBA fans flocked to Twitter to disagree with Joy.
One said: "Lol, they won't. They probably won't even get to the conference title game."
Another expressed: "It's not going to happen."
A third detailed: "No one there plays D except KD, and Still no depth either. Joy, no."
