You are wrong Brendan. One of the little three will be trade fodder. You are correct it likely cannot be Beal because of his no trade clause
Se you in 10 years!😢
Vogel made horrible to no adjustments
As a mavs fan this is beautiful to watch 😂
Frank Vogel was worse than Monty. Only Grayson Allen played well for the Suns this season. Frank Vogel never had the team in a rhythm. The roster is much better than 0-4 in the first round. The Suns were the favorites entering the series. Vogel should be fired
Nurk is not biggest issue, IMO. So call Big 3 done nothing as a group. Game for Booker and KD played well But Beal single handedly lost that game. Bit game 1-3 Big 3 was more like Mini 3. Nurk is bottom of Suns problem
Get rid of Bradley Beal suns was better without him.
tbh so glad its over
Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert were the 2 best players in that series.
Beal did well the first 3 games , and won the back n forth w ant last game despite the loss. He played some good d. Booker's was a weak 50, a lot of superstar free throw fouls, a lot of misses /blocked shots on drives, a lot of pass outs cuz he cant O n KD is there for a bail out, somewhat like Tatum w Brown. Youre entire talk abt Nakiel A Walker being a nobody is yr own lack of research. NAW has been clutch on 3s n drives all season. His man 2 man D and screen navigation has become among the best in the league – we wolves fans wld say hes the best screen navigator today.
Suns are fully healthy & got swept by a 22 year old and 2 giant babies in KAT & Gobert… straight embarrassing… everyone failed and the Sun’s future looks bleak
Suns fans got tricked by Nurkic simply because Jokic doesn't take him seriously. Should've looked into their history of games.
Bro, beal,kd, and booker played like trash but these guys choose to focus on nurkic, lol.
I told people about Book. He’s not him
You have the big 3. Besides Ant, the TWolves have an impressive bench as well. I think that luxury was a big reason the Suns couldn’t keep up.
I know your job is to be a homer for the suns but please watch basketball your takes were casual at best! Wolves deserve respect
You can’t trade Beal because his horrible contract and clause. Booker is pretty much untouchable. KD is 35 with two years left on contract. I’d be surprised if the suns don’t trade him to OKC for giddy and 4 picks.
I really hope they don't do more panic trades. Suns don't have their own picks so tanking is useless. Gotta run it back with a coach that Book and KD can buy into, maybe shift some roles and tinker around the edges. Trading Beal or Nurkic gets you net negative value. I don't expect next year's team to be contenders, I just hope they're more fun to watch with some more continuity and maybe a new scheme.
The only way the Suns can improve is trade KD. Knowing his history he will probably want out too. Sending him back to GSW for Kuminga and Moody is something to consider for both sides.
I haven't commented or watched your channel in a while because you're always wrong and it gets on my nerves listening to you…
I'm only here to tell all of you go back to the beginning of the season when I said this was going to happen.
I'm definitely the type to "I told you" I told you so…
I told you so
As a Suns fan I'm just glad this season is over so my eyes can stop burning and my heart can start mending!
All together now… 3 2 1 CANCUN
I want to see Bradley Beal on Shanghai SHARK ASAP!
There is a simple solution, for both the lakers and suns…just swap kd with lebron… now the suns have a point guard that can play with beal and book. No reason lakers would refuse as they get someone younger
Steven a claimed booker wants to be in New York
Give Vogel one more chance!
The best part, Luka Doncic did this to yall 😂. I’ve never seen a 64 win team hit the panic button so fast and bail on a very young promising roster for a past his prime superstar. Yall basically traded a team that went to the finals for a team that got DOMINATED in the first round and lost your future in the process. Time to trade KD for some picks and get started on that rebuild maybe? The Suns are irrelevant again. Well… if you count the laughing stock of the NBA as relevance, I guess they aren’t 🤷🏼♂️
1st year whole new team first round out… most teams have been together more than a year… it was a good season for me…
