Dont trade kd
We are going to end up doing a Randy Johnson again with Durant. Trade the older player away so we can watch him taking a different team to the championship.
Yeah someone has a hurt big toe
So sick of watching the Suns lose….
Bridges was untouchable too but we traded him!
How is he not removed from his prime dont remember this many injuries in his prime tbh wtf
When is James Jones being fired? Because its been overdue for like 2 years.
Take out Tyus and put in Cody Martin at this point I dont care.
As a Suns fan on 13 february 2025, what would you rather have? Kevin Wayne Durant or Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson and 2025, 2027, 2028, 2029 first round picks… with a little seasoning of something from 2023's 1st and Jae Crowder 🙂
Blow it up trade Kevin
suns r destroying the greatest scorer of all time well done guys
KD was phenomenal, but….his TOs on a crucial moments more often than not, cost them games. Facts 100%
Season over boyz. Start discussing about what you can get back for KD.
Seems like they have zero sense of urgency smh
Trade Kevin for KAT
to many turn overs
KD will be gone soon
guys bud playing these guys on purpose no coach is this stupid
stop disrespecting how great KD was in his prime… Younger KD could guard on ball & move laterally. KD right now is looking like a bookmark guarding a bowling ball out there. Lol!
They don't pay attention of the defensive rebounds, just stand and wait.
Two matches, how many second chance points we lose?
You know you have a coaching problem again when you have T. Jones guarding the other team best player (Morant, Green) defense 101
If you guys think that the Suns will be a playoff team after trading KD you are delusional. Even if KD goes in the east so the current West teams remain the same:
Thunder, Nuggets, Grizzlies, Lakers, Clippers, Mavs, Wolves and even the Spurs and the Warriors will be better. It will be neck and neck with the Kings and Rockets for the 10th spot.
If KD goes to the Rockets, hope not, Suns will not even get to the 10th spot.
I'm so tired of this team. Let the season just be over
Rockets want Booker, not Durant
What you guys did at the end of the show is exactly how the Suns have been running everything….What can we get, you should be focused on who you should get, but before all this what culture do we want and how can we get there
So we all just assume kd leaving
Bunch of possys on this team
All good we are developing Ty Ty. 😢
Booker soft
KD had a good career but he's a part of the issue with the Suns he's old he's got a massive contract and most importantly he doesn't have the will to win. They should've traded him and Beal after last seasons embarrassing first round exit. You can't be this far over the cap and be this bad over the last two seasons. Fire Josh and James
KD will be 37 years old at the start of next season. No way they give up whitmore and smith AND Picks??? No way 😂
I'm not trying to hate on KD, but I don't think any responsible GM should trade a king's ransom for him no matter how good he looks this season. KD's timeline is just too short to justify it. 1 Knee surgery, and the rest of his career is toast. That's just too big of a gamble for young teams to make. Unless you're OKC and you just have unlimited future assets, but they have a different challenge in that they don't have salaries to match
To me it just makes much more sense to target desperation teams like Warriors, 76ers, Heats, Kings…etc. Like I'd 100% short the Kings
Free KD at this point suns have no banners have been irrelevant for most of the Franchises history … hate seeing KD waist the back end of his career
No offense. You’re only being offered expiring contracts like Adams, Tate, Jock and 2-3 picks.
Booker and Durant are not worth 2 out of Green/Sengun/Tari/Jabari/Cam/Reed and 2+ picks. You’re not getting that
Durant is too old. Booker isn’t a top 10 player.
KD on this BIG ATHLETIC Rockets team that actually plays DEFENSE will be INSANE! #FreeKDTilKDFree 🙏🏾🤌🏿
Again… Why is Ty Ty Washington playing more minutes than Monte Morris, Oso, D Lee, and Dunn? Tyus Jones is a defensive liability and should be coming off the bench. Bud's rotations are so bad that there is nothing more to say. Our future is Dunn and Oso, so they need to play. So tired of watching bad basketball from a cluless coach.
Kevin durant will be 37 years old on an EXPIRING contract next year. The trade proposals at the end are straight up laughable.
No one is trading multiple young players and multiple 1st round picks for an expiring 37 yo KD.
You guys may need to reset your expectations for trade packages this summer to salary filler and 1-2 1st round picks (depending on how decent they are).
Think a slightly better jimmy butler deal.
Played well until the 4th!!! KD has needed more help,when he's been out there,the entire year!!
Disappointed in T.Jones play…he needs to step up alot more!
