Knicks fan here, thanks but no thanks in regards to KD 😆… you guys need to BEG Houston to take him in exchange for your picks and cap flexibility
youre not getting jabari smith or stephon castle for kd you must be kidding for a one year rental. and ryan dunne is not going to satisfy your requirement of being a player better than booker or trading kd for a player better than booker. so much delusion.
You guys need to lower your expectation on a return for KD. He will be 37 next season you’re not getting a haul of young players with upside or multiple first rounders in a trade for KD. They would be fortunate to turn KD into 2 good starters, a first rounder and financial flexibility.
No faith in Matt ishbia. Went from a second round loss to denver to a sweep in the first round to missing the playin. This team has no future whether you trade kd or don't.
Matt is trying.. wtf are you taking about. Its refreshing to have an order that likes to spend. You need to go back to sarver😢. Its no matts fault booker is a quitter that plays no defense. The only reason the suns were good was paul. How can you blame a guy that will spend whatever it takes.. pay a coach, or go after the star..
You extend book at 70 million per for two years you deserve the cap hell you sign up for and the ring drought the basketball Gods have cursed you with🫤👍🏿
I tried to listen to you two all the way through, but after 20 minutes it’s obvious that a 3rd or 4th option guy on a ring worthy team is all your franchise has to hope on. The massive haul for Booker is delusional. No team is giving a massive anything for Book. People see the Beal fiasco and wont splurge on a mid athlete streak shooter with limited leadership skills. Good day sirs!!!
I respect this pod because they tell the truth about Book. He’s a star, not a superstar. But he can still become one , he has to develop a 3 pointer. The heavy midrange is the old NBA
No matter where KD goes Suns are not gonna be good any time soon. With Booker & KAT they at least would be fun. Both for the fans and for the players. For Booker especially. Bringing his friend to Phoenix could be really good for Bookers mental health after recent misery.
Continuing to build around Booker is insane. I’ve never seen a team try so hard to build around a B level star. Booker ain’t Steph curry guys; he ain’t a top tier star
Obviously this is fan channel, they are fans and just cant be objective, they want the best result for their teams, i m pretty sure they wont get much for KD, 1st they have no bargaining power, 2nd CBA makes is just harder for interested teams, whilst team with cap space is not interested.
Rockets fan here. I love watching the delusion of suns fans, that’s why I’m here. And I will be until we no longer have a part in yalls future
Time to trade Booker.
KD being better than book at 36 speaks volumes … Kd wouldn’t be better than Edward’s Luka JA Joker etc … that’s the problem to build around a b+ player is part of the problem that will continue to haunt suns king after KD is gone… book had to be better than Durant for this to work
Why should KD do suns any favors they tried to back door him mid-season .. KD shouldn’t agree to sign .. he should be a rental for one year and then walk on a team of your desire like he did with the warriors… or they’ll continue to strip teams to the bone to get him there leaving him with bare minimum players… see the trap KD
Are there any suns fans in the comments 😂😂 dam I hope suns break the back of any team we trade with
Suns and fans need to face reality. No market for KD. Impossible to trade Beal. Booker is the only way to get picks and a player to rebuild around Beal and KD
This may sound crazy but what about Zion in a 3 team deal? Pelicans reporting saying they’re mandating Zion to be traded and we could get a younger all-nba player at the lowest value he will have. I know injury concerns but this is the type of move that’s riskiest enough to potentially take us out of this hole. Would be a 3 team deal KD goes to one of the teams on his list, they send assets to the pelicans and we get Zion
70 mil for Booker is egregious. Never going to build a contending team with a salary like that on the books
Warriors fan here. Other teams' fans enjoy watching the drama around your team. The Warrior's season was rough for a lot of the year, but I enjoyed that I could turn to your pod as a reminder that it could always be worse.😅
As good as book hahha what a joke
Brendan you don't know talent
Such fun listening to / reading delusional ramblings… reminds me of a cat on a hot tin roof looking frantically for a way out…
Trade my boy KD we out of here. And hopefully don't gut the team you trade him too. Picks >> players.
Rockets offer 1 pick, vanvleet and whitmore
don't give an extension to Booker, not worth it. need to trade all and start again
Kd to Memphis would be interesting 🧐
Basically Suns 🌞 should blow it up…..it’s over, the west has too many teams that are playing way better. Even the injury riddled Mavericks made the play-in. There were 10 teams in the west that were better this season. 🤔
Suns with Booker means mediocrity at best. Let's get real here. He is lacking heavily in 2025. There are a ton more talent players and teams these days. Honestly, I hope Ishbia would come to his senses and trades him. If the Knicks sent the Nets five first round picks, for Mikal Bridges, imagine what we can get for Booker who is "36 Unbothered". Lol.
