Meh, you need continuity, 2 shooting guards will require some adjusting
Guys dont bother. You all could rationally break down to Perk why he is completely wrong, but it wont do anything. If anything, he'll probably just insult you and talk about how he is the second coming of Einstein.
Richard Jefferson is killing as the host ! Did you notice how at ease everyone was. Wow!
No rushing to answer or getting tongue twisted trying to speed talk. We need more of RJ !!!
Lol comon perk u used to play in the NBA you should realize when a trade is crazy like this one
They have no bench. And what if one or two of them get injured. This will mark the end of ‘super’ teams, trust.
Hey fat girl go look at Denver’s rotation in playoffs it was 6 or 7 guys you don’t need a bench in playoffs , like does she know anything about basketball
its the nets all over again.
Perk is a clown. Nuggets, Bucks, Celtics all have better chances at the title. Suns have very great players but have no depth. That could change as the offseason goes on but at this very moment, they should be 4th at best.
Here we go smh when are these guys gonna learn ?
I ain’t gon lie Payne at the 1 don’t sound bad!
Lmfao the Suns about to lead the league in injuries and allow 130 a game
Perc shouldn't be allowed on TV anymore! His takes are the worse and refuses to common sense the majority of the time.
This is a big splash but lets be real, there not done yet all this did is put the league on notice, lets wait and see
I agreed with most stuff Perk said all the way until he said they were better then the Nuggets. He always wants to push the takes 🤣🤣
Unless he's talking about the Big 3, Perk needs a reality check.
This trio not even better than Harden and Kyrie 😂💯
Kendrick Perkins has a no-trade clause with ESPN. What other explanation makes sense?
Ramona the only one with common sense. No big three is winning a title without a team. How many times they gone learn this.
This show is so much better when malika Andrew’s isn’t there
Perk wrong as usual
Nuggets will still win
Agree,the Suns won this trade 100% to the Wizards 0%.
The Suns are the new Brooklyn Nets iso gang but younger.
The Wizards should have gone with a deal with the Miami Heat and ask for their shooters Herro and Robinson.
KD has a vast history of injury and has struggled outside of GS to get over the top for a reason. One of those reasons is his physicality is a serious limitation of his. It’s why he gets injured and can’t operate as the focal point of defenses. You can knock him off his spots and off balance into lower percentage shots. He’s lethal from below the elbows, but if you cut him from that area, his stats go down a considerable amount. It’s exactly what Boston and DEN most recently did. And I know guys like SAS make y’all think KD is neck and neck with LBJ, but he’s not. The norm for most players in their mid to late 30s is to decline. Since he'll still be the focal point, along with others reasons I didn’t state such as their lack of depth and interior defense, I don't see PHX taking it next season.
With all due respect to Mark Spears, I’m not sure why he’s a hall of famer, he has terrible takes time and time again, filled with lazy thinking.
Ramona is 100% right
how perk has a commentating job is really beyond me
KD is only effective as an iso scorer. Dude cannot play as the focal of defenses, which is why his numbers go down in the playoffs when teams stop letting him operate 1on1 at a high rate. He's only shot better in the playoff than the regular season twice in his career, one of which was the 16-17 Ws team. IF you breakdown his last really good playoffs series vs MIL you can see that MIL chose to play him 1on1 with Tucker, Holiday, Middleton and he had good numbers. But when you run players at him and cut him from his spots, he has no clue what to do and a big reason is because he's shaped like a 48 year old vegetarian soccer mom.
Perkins has the brain of a hamster
Is this guy serious with his takes?
Pick one ugly or dumb
This racist guy needs to be fired immediately
I'm a better analyst than Perk, he is a goon. Why would ESPN hire this clown?
That’s every KD team in the past few years and he still winless what a snake
