Phoenix Suns TRADING KEVIN DURANT For Draymond Green Would Be TERRIBLE
Rumors are flying about the Phoenix Suns potentially trading Kevin Durant, with the Golden State Warriors being the number 1 most mentioned destination, with Draymond Green being the biggest name floated. Erik Ruby of PHNX Suns discusses why this would be an AWFUL move for the Phoenix Suns and Mat Ishbia as they continue to try to trade for Jimmy Butler, move Bradley Beal off the team, and build a championship team around Devin Booker.

Erik this happens and we are freaking done!
kd and book are sooooo good together, just need to get good pieces around them pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee, we dont need butler we need good solid pieces.
Agreed
For Draymond, Wiggins (to move down the line for big contract player), Podziemski, and 3 firsts I do it. Then go trade two of those picks to get your own 2025 pick back.
You don’t get They have Beal and booker then don’t need what Durant does I would take rather have Wiggins and kaminga and 3 firsts
No player is untouchable, but he won't be cheap either. But F Draymond.
Draymond triple O and always does some dirty plays to get suspend yeah very reliable no thanks 🌵
Need picks too for green
Only Dummies think trading KD right is the wise choice😂
Green does make Curry better. He might make Booker better
NO you can get better than Draymond – Leave it to offseason to make that trade
No Thank You
Keep KD and Book and build around them👏🏀
They gonna get Butler and Draymond.
Book
Beal
Jimmy B
Draymond
Richards
BAD BOYZZZZ
It’s not KD’s fault, the Beal trade didn’t workout for the suns… smh
Trading Durant would be a bad look for Ishbia. No way can the Suns can get the same return back that they gave up.
If Draymond comes to the valley. I'm done watching the Suns.
Rockets..give us Sengun, Brooks a 2 1st..I would be happy with that
Don’t like the Golden State trade but do think it’s time to admit that this team is going nowhere and that Booker and Durant are the only players that have significant value on the Suns right now. Would like to see them hold on to Booker, auction Durant to the highest bidder, use some of what they get back to sweeten deals to move Beal and Nurkic and then do a proper rebuild with draft picks and free agents. Imagine having a team where the players are actually selected to fill rolls on a winning team instead of guys they can backdoor on the roster in a way that complies with the salary cap restrictions they’re under.
I suspect Ishbia is too arrogant to cut his losses though, but hope I might be wrong.
why you dress look like bucks looking
Id take Draymond, Kuminger and 2 1sts for KD
What a 💩 show we trade kd after all we gave up to get him just because we 💩 the bed on the Beal trade and we can't get rid of him… they trade kd I'm done been watching Suns since late 80's
Bro I hope this is jst click bait , wtf are we even talking about
Trade him while his stock is up. We’re not winning a chip with KD. They can’t even beat Portland. Let him go!
If it ain’t Steph curry tell them to go FuXx a Goat 🐐 or sum
Ayton just destroyed the Suns single-handedly. This Suns team needs a lot more than draymond Green
Beal and Nurk for Green and Kuminga
Trading KD shows Ishbia has no idea what he is doing and breaking up a team that had chemistry and enjoyed each other minus Ayton just to go back a trade KD for green???
Not if they get Kaminga and a couple first rd picks not winning a championship in the next 5 years with kd or not
Durant > Butler all time OBVIOUSLY, however
KD 47,300 mins vs Butler 32,200!
5 more seasons of milage (35 mpg x 85 games played x 5yrs) so Butler over KD not as crazy as it sounds (as kooky as Jimmy is especially since Jimmy Buckets hasn’t had as many season ending type injuries as KD and is also a yr younger).
Also quietly in JUST PLAYOFFS (2020s only):
Butler > Durant in PER (24.5 vs 22.2), WS/48 (.206 vs .136), BPM (7.2 vs 5.5), VORP (5.7 vs 2.4).
Butler lead teams 37-27 in Playoffs since 2020 (2 finals runs and another ECF game 7….+50 +/-)
KD lead teams 13-18 in Playoffs since 2020 (-73 +/-).
2020s Playoffs (not career bc 2010s KD elite playoffs)
Jimmy 1st team All NBA
KD 2nd or 3rd team (though his 2021 was amazing!)
IF Suns got Kuminga (who I’m high on…averaged 21, 6, 3 last 14 games before hurt this year at 22 yrs old) and Jimmy Butler in 3-4 team trade for Durant and picks that’s a no brainer to me given KD’s age/milage/injuries (even though KD in my Top11-16 GOAT tier).
Kd coming back home to win another championship lol
