  1. Im good with this. When my Northwoods Dawgs gave up the whole grocery list to snag the stifle tower you basketball stans feasted with jokes and memes. Nobody batted an eye when the eclipsed Suns gave up theirs and their mothers houses for Bradley Beal. One of those trades is paying dividends while the other is about to get swept like the kitchen floor after the kids make their own breakfast.

  2. A lot of people saw PHX as a dark horse champion at the beginning of this year, and I was like… Sure….😂

  3. who would've thought that giving up both your starting point guard and center for a player that has redundant skillset with your two best players and a lumbering center that's almost always hurt would turn out to be a bad decision. lmao

  4. I said it when the Beal trade happened: Matt Ishbia is an idiot. It's fine that he was making aggressive moves; he just didn't think them through. Trading for KD was a big risk in and of itself, but trading for Beal? Terrible. The minimal return they got from the CP3 and Ayton trades made it look even worse. I don't understand how this man sat courtside during the Nuggets series last year, saw the issues with his roster, and thought Beal was the answer. This roster lacks a legit floor general, depth (namely at the forward spot), size, viable defenders, and a more modern play style. Even if they tried to trade KD as you suggested, I don't think teams like OKC or the Knicks would give up their depth for him, and draft picks don't equal money. Not to mention that being stuck with Booker and Beal is still a bad situation.

  5. Ey, i think it was EFF or GSc but in some major metric, the Miami Big 3 was #1, #2 and #4 in the league when they came together. 3 of the Top5!!! That was Nuts😅

  6. Whatever it is that separates leaders in the NBA from guys like KD, Kyrie, Harden, Russ, Beal or Klay, it was obviously missing from the Suns because Book ain't Kobe, sorry

  7. 🤓☝🏾 Well actually, KD joined the Nets when they already had Kyrie for a year not the other way around.

  8. They could trade Booker to the Nets for Simmons and a bunch of their picks back, then trade everyone and tank. Probably the quickest way for them to rebuild.

  9. When exactly do Supereams ever go right? They almost always fail. We need to stop calling them superteams and start calling them top heavy teams. It's not illegal to funnel all of your teams salary cap into three players. Anyone can do it. But history shows having a superstar, a complimentary star and great depth has always been the best way to win. Phoenix have zero advantages over Denver even though they are a textbook superteam. That goes for LA too.

  10. The nba is so ridiculous now. You can make 50 million dollars a year playing 40 or 50 games, never playing defense, and if at any point in time you're not happy with your team you can just demand a trade and they have to appease you.

  11. This is what happens when your owner thinks he knows best and doesn’t let ppl do their job.

  12. Funnily enough, you mention that one of the problems that the Suns have is that they don't take shots. You mention that the Suns are 27th in the league in total FGA per game….which is true….

    Do you know who's 29th in the league in total FGA per game?

    Minnesota.

  13. Shit….you may be right about the Knicks…

    Randle and Bojan plus some picks get the job done…damn.

  14. The bucks are not a super team lol. If it was Middleton pre injury then I would agree but he's not that guy anymore
