2013–14 Phoenix Suns season

The 2013–14 NBA season was the Phoenix Suns' 46th season in the NBA. This season marked the first time that purple was not a primary color for the team (although it was still involved with their system). It was also the first time since the beginning of the 1987–88 NBA season that the Suns ended up drafting in the top 5 of a draft. In addition, it was the first time since the beginning of the 2000–01 NBA season that the Suns made complete changes in not only their logos, but also their jerseys. When the Suns began the regular season, Goran Dragić, P. J. Tucker, Markieff Morris, and his twin brother Marcus Morris were the only players returning from playing with last season's team (while Channing Frye was still on last season's team, he didn't play any games due to a life-threatening heart ailment he had at the time).

The Phoenix Suns, despite their winning record, failed to make the playoffs. They tied the 2007–08 Golden State Warriors' record for highest winning percentage for a non-playoff team since the NBA switched to the 8 team format. The all-time record is held by the 1971–72 Phoenix Suns (49–33), which was during the four-team playoff era. This drew criticism from many fans regarding the conference system. The Atlanta Hawks, a sub-.500 team in the Eastern Conference, managed to make the playoffs. The Suns would have been tied for the 3 seed in the Eastern Conference that year.
