all these teams trying to add marquee name players to win a one off championship- hope these small market teams destroy them again next year – Durant running around NBA chasing titles and ruining teams just makes his legacy that much more tarnished makes his
KD is so soft he’ll probably respond to this comment on a burner account. 😂😂😂
i’m sensing a myles turner trade
The last time the Suns has three players that scored 20+ or more, as noted in the first minute of the video, was the 80s… boy those Suns were winning titles back then too.. in case nobody can see the sarcasm, they've given up on getting defense and dismantled their bench. This isn't a three superstar team league any more. You can pull it off with two or three, but the key to winning titles are your role players and knowing how to play defense.
Im very curious to ask people saying this is a bad trade due to how the Suns have no depth:
HOW WERE THEY SUPOSED TO GET DEPTH? They upgraded from CP to Beal, they would be in the same position with CP
Still wont beat my Nuggets.
So their starting 5 is good but their bench is trash
I feel like Ayton has to go so they can fill out the rest of the roster
Thank god cause now I don't have to keep seeing Knicks YouTube vloggers constantly posting about giving up great your assets like imanuel quickley, (23 yr old runner up 4 6moy) obi toppin (25 yr old former slam dunk champs) Julius randle(28 year old 3rd team all NBA)n 3 picks for beal basically giving up all they're all they're young up n coming all stars for a ageing star glad to see how much that fan base haven't learned they're lesson after the Carmelo,curry n marbury trades 1 player smack in the middle of his prime n 2 obviously all stars if they started n got minutes n haven't reached prime yet…
super easy prediction- Suns do not win a title with this roster…
Ayton outta there, he can get you 2 rotation players and 2 bodies
This was a bad trade regardless of the excuses. No bench. New coach. No one outside of KD has been proven to win at the highest level.
I mean, what are the wizards management doing? Bradley Beal for a 38 yr old Chris Paul I like Chris Paul I respect his game and reputation in basketball he's a future hall of famer but at his age of 38? What more or how valuable assets can you get for an old guy like him? and Landry Shamet + couple of second round picks, how could this be possible without getting at least a first round pick, this looks like a very lopsided trade for the wiz
Suns bench is loaded with Door dash and Uber eats drivers.
Pretty good deal for the suns… shamet and ancient Chris Paul? No brainer
This would be super dope if they started allowing more than 1 ball on the court at a time. For now though, I got a real 53-29 and 2nd round exit type of vibe from them
Washington got hosed
I don’t think this will end well
@Monica McNutt: Actually what we just saw this post season was that Phoenix won the most games against the Nuggets. Not the Lakers… and not the Heat. Perhaps Phoenix and all that offense is closer than we think. Miami and LÁ had all the defense in the world and came up empty. Phoenix had no defense and won 2 games. Perhaps all they need is a little depth (Phoenix is calling Dwight Howard and Javale McGee as we speak, and new coach that can reengage Deandre Ayton, and another year of cohesion to make it all gel.
Now they will flip Ayton for assets
The fact that the Suns got Beal and kept Ayton is a win. Also Suns can still fill out the roster through free agency as well as use Ayton in a trade to help with depth.
More suns moves to come Windy. Stay tuned
They were in dog fights with Russ because they couldn’t take any rest during the games and now they trade for offensive firepower when everyone agreed that they needed depth .
No answer for point guard and still hanging on to Ayton who quits every playoffs! Oh and no depth from the bench
It’s a double edged sword lol. Take a couple years with a 70% KD and about 5 years of misery after he leaves 😂
Terrible trade for the wizards
TRADE AYTON
