[Marks] Devin Booker, Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant will earn $150M next season. The salary of the three players is more than 14 teams total payroll in 2024-25.

Their only decent role players in Allen and OâNeal are both expiring as well. KD and Beal are another year older next year, you canât expect Booker to get much better than he already is. Theyâve peaked with zero flexibility going forward unless they somehow find another sucker to take on Bealâs contract.
Edit: Allen got extended but can he replicate the season he just had where he shot 46% from 3? Idk lol

I mean they’re playing pretty well in garbage time

I’m positive Bradley Beal is a money laundering scheme

Its a good thing they have a lot of draft capital to build around the margins

Better team w/ player swap?
LBJ w/ Suns or KD with Lakers
SSJAbh1nav
This is a terribly constructed team.

KD will demand a trade to OKC and the circle will finally be complete.

Gotta feel terrible for Suns fans. As if living in the city of 110 degree days and infinite parking lots isnât bad enough

those suns picks are looking REAL nice right now.

The Suns are about to pay more than half a billion dollars to three âstarâ players just to get out in the first round lol
hophorndog
Lmao suns fans leaving with 3 minutes left was hilarious

I still donât understand why they even went after Beal in the first place. Him and Booker are basically redundant . Booker is just a bigger version .
Shouldâve got a guy like Siakam or some type of interior presence and run it through Booker

Just to get swept in the first round đđ€Ł

Iâve never seen KD with his head down this much. Wolves have demoralized him
Basbuuba12
Paying large amounts of money for players that inconsistently score and provide fuck all else is gonna be a death knell for teams. Players like Beal, CJ etc just make it virtually impossible to build a contender on their contracts
NewPortable101
One of the few teams that’s possibly a bigger mess than the Clippers

Easily the worst Big Three Iâve ever seen

the value of those Suns picks đ

And Beal has a no trade clause.

Ayo don’t worry they only owe Beal to 26/27 and Booker to 27/28 lmao.

Relax they extended Grayson Allen. Their 3 SGs are guaranteed.

The Beal trade although not necessarily a âbadâ trade in terms of what assets were given for him will still probably go down as the biggest mistake for this roster imo. The KD trade was a lot of assets, but they had success with him and Booker, they took 2 games off the eventual champions that were head and shoulders above every other team. The obvious solution was prioritizing getting a PG for the roster and filling in pieces around the fringes, instead they went all in on Beal, and theyâre probably stuck with him for the next year or two at least.

At least the lakers is not alone in the 0-3 holeđ

Shout out to Matt Ishbia! Lakers and Sons are both cooked to a crisp.

Nepo baby destroyed the franchise in a year. Maybe the grass isnât always greener.

Yeah, one of them is going to have to get traded in order to get some ball handling and playmaking. The Suns lost so much of that when they traded Chris Paul away.
Oh, I know, he’d probably be injured again right now, so I understand that his availability in the post-season was an issue, but still…even Cam Payne would have been a good enough floor leader. He always played decently when he started.
How can you go from being one of the most promising teams in the nba to this shit, in just two years? Suns future seems so bright not too long ago.

Suns FO needs to be sacked. Imagine making the Finals and then gutting the team within 3 years

Even more hilarious given how confident they were prior to the series beginning.

new owner wanted a ring so fast and basically stunted the franchise for the next decade.

The fall of the Suns is incredible and a testament to the fact that you have to make every run count.
I remember when they got to the finals, there was a general consenus that they still had a window open for some time.
Then the Mavs bounced their ass in humiliating fashion, the team got worse, and nearly the entirety of the West got better and looking at the Spurs and Rockets, will remain a bloodbath for the forseeable future.
I’m not say it’s definitively over for them, but they are in an absolutely horrible position right now.

Sad to think if we just waited a year, we would’ve had a core of Booker, ayton, mikal, and Cam Johnson. All waiting for a star to be that 5th player.
Relavant free Agents this offseason: lebron, siakim, PG, Harden, Claxton, miles bridges, Malik monk, tyus jones.
We could either fill in that point role, or have Booker do it and get a guy like siakim, pg, miles, or malik. And yes, I know Booker has sucked at point this year, but we have absolutely zero interior pressure. Nurk sucks on offense, KD is essentially a 7 foot shooting guard, and our next best frontcourt player is bol bol. We have no one to pick n roll, no one to be a cutter or a lob threat. I wonder what even a guy like Luka could do with this roster construction. He’d be better than Booker, but it’d still probably be awkward. I digress
1 or two of the guys above could make this team pretty special, and it sucks that ishbia was probably snorting coke and too impatient to just wait out CP3s awful contract

KD will ask out soon
