THE HERD| I’m just glad he got out of there – Colin on Durant to join Lakers amidst Suns frustration

They’d be great in year you know right out of the shoe so they won last night they are 15 and 15 on the year and everybody’s freaking out and there are reports by w a very trustable person and reporter that Durant’s not necessarily happy Durant has pushed back on

That but let’s look at what’s happening in Phoenix they’re not bad they’re 15 and 15 we’re only about halfway to the trade deadline Kevin’s been great played almost every game averaging over 30 Booker’s been great he plays a lot averaging 27 there’s a lot going well the issue of course

Is Bradley Beal’s never healthy if Bradley Beal was healthy and giving you 29 minutes a game and 22 points this would be a this would be a 15 this would be a 20 and 10 team not a 15 and 15 team and everything would be okay but we have to be realistic about

This all four Clipper Stars four not three like Phoenix four all were healthy and and they were awful to start even LeBron dwade Bosch in Miami with the best coach in the league Eric spola were in their prime it was really bumpy year one these teams that are built quickly

With stars Brooklyn last couple of years before this one the Lakers the Suns the Clippers this all is Bumpy it’s always bumpy think about Boston this is year seven for Tatum and Jaylen brown two a players in their Prime and it finally looks like in year

Seven this is it and even then we don’t love the coach and we don’t like the bench the stuff is hard joic the best player on the planet won his title in year nine Milwaukee’s Yannis the best player on the planet pre yage won his title in year eight

Warriors with all those great players Steph won it in year six we tend to think when it comes to winning titles it’s really always a slow roasted Christmas ham and everybody wants to use the microwave it doesn’t work like that it takes time if Bradley Beal was healthy this team would

Be this be a good team even when all the Clippers four stars were healthy and they have a bench the Suns don’t it was a mess early so KD’s playing the games and great Booker playing the games and great they won again last night they’re 500 there’s a long way to go Bradley

Beal is 30 and it is concerning the last three maybe four years I I Googled it this morning I think it was the last four he’s been injured more than a 20 28 29 30y old should be but I think there I think this is one of these things where

The expectations were the microwave and these star driven teams are always slow roasted it just takes some time you got to let it bake these are stars they have their entitlements things they want Styles they play they need the ball in certain spots and it takes a while to

Get this stuff figured out this is not the Brooklyn KD team where the the players were like odd and weird and Booker is money I think Bradley Beal’s a grownup Kevin Durant a bit of a W he’s playing these games every night and averaging over 30 he’s been

Fine take a deep breath it’s going to be okay I still think Phoenix has a chance to end up in the Western Conference Final the Lakers are a move or two away Golden State’s not working I still don’t trust Sacramento not enough scores I think they’re going to be okay JM I know

I’m on a bit of an island here and I do trust W’s reporting but I think if you look at Kevin Durant’s career he’s often been a bit imp patient he’s been willing to be vocal he’s been sort of public he’s not covert he doesn’t hide his

Emotions he’s right out in front with how he feels and so it gives us content I just think it’s a Bradley Beal issue yeah it’s interesting I like your little rant about you know people think you can just microwave a championship every year right like January February March as

College kids are getting ready I get a billion questions JJ how do I get where you are H how do I get like your job how do I get on track for that I’m like you know this took me like 20 years in the end I was already at newspapers I

Created a website and I was magazines by the way do you know the story of Matt Damon people think Ben Affleck and Matt Damon with Goodwill Hunting they just wrote it over the weekend go look at Matt Damon’s history I I could be wrong

On this but I think it was 16 years of banging around La for two Boston guys they they tried to sell that script all over town in LA and nobody would buy it and everybody is like well Matt Damon looks like he’s no Matt Damon looks

Young Matt Damon and and Affleck and by the way those are brilliant people Affleck’s one of the smartest guys in Hollywood he’s a brilliant guy they were banging around for years trying to get this right coer also another great I mean his story is amazing he was like a

Non-factor for like 25 years and then he gets a pop and boom it’s over so I my my this was AE Sports we want everything to work instantly so this is a crazy stat for the suns are you ready for this the big three in Phoenix through 27 games

Beal Booker and Durant have played a total of 24 minutes together that’s one half of basketball in 27 games it’s insane and Katie and Booker are having great years oh very good they’re having great years we don’t think we don’t think that Phoenix has a bench who cares

Boston doesn’t have one Denver doesn’t Denver didn’t have one last year the best bench in the League last year was the Pacers you need like a good 25 games together leading up to the playoffs and then you get how many you know if you go to the finals it’s like like 20 plus

Games right with all those Series so I think they’re going to be okay as long as they don’t dig too deep of a hole right now you know they’re the 10 seed but here’s the thing the West is so jumbled they’re only like four games back at the number four seed like it’s

Too early and they’ve lost and they’ve lost because chemistry with all these teams is always clunky it was with dwade and Bosch and SP I mean think how good spoler dwade LeBron Bosch how smart those guys are took them like 181 19 games and you’re like and they were

Playing every night in their Prime great coach minutes but this is just thrown together with guys two guys past their Prime so Lakers fans are now hearing this and saying well wait a sec Jay you you guys are saying give be patient with the Suns what about us be patient with

Us you’ve had LeBron and ad for like every game and you’re one over 500 Reeds has played all the games like the Lakers could panic I don’t think Phoenix needs to yet yeah all right Greg coel around the corner 15 minutes fantasy football betting football want to get smarter in

Football I love it it’s a Thursday Greg Co sell NFL films
