Honestly you can tell most of the moves made by Mat Ishbia and not James Jones post KD trade compared to most of his deals before Having no PG and Vogel having some really trash rotations at points was probably the dagger though. (There was no way Okogie and Bol were catching Dnps in a playoff series the Suns needed more defense and rebounding in)
Phoenix failed in 2023-24 they had no point guard. That’s how they got exposed in the playoffs against the Timberwolves and they didn’t have a good center that could rebound
The video quality here makes me think you stole this from a big youtuber or something!!! How do you have 350 subs??? I pray this is original content so you can get the recognition you deserve! some of the best nba content ive seen in a while!
Dang I just put on this video without looking at your subscriber or view count i thought you would have had at least 100,000 subscribers (if not more) because this is very well made content that I personally loved watching
I still can't believe Griffin was with Boston in 2023. Just watching Celtics games and highlights, they'd show the bench and you'd see his ginger hair. Didn't even recognise him at first
Suns did great this year. They just need a little more time for chemistry. They ran up against the Mavs, who are also a great time. How many games did the series go? It was a hard fought series.
As a Suns fan I'm disappointed with Suns fans that like what Ishbia and Jones have done. Ishbia is no different than Jerry Jones and James Jomes doesn't know how to draft talent peeio😢. Does the Durant trade look so good now with having no talent left?...smh
Booker and Durant would have been a good team imo. I still don’t think they would’ve won a chip, but trading for Beal too just made it much worse. I’m not saying Beal sucks, he’s just very injury prone….just like your other 2 stars!!! Terrible team building
If it was inevitable, where is the video of you making that call back when the trade was made? Hindsight is 20/20 though, and everyone looks like a genius when they use it. Well done!
When we traded for bradley i was heated, it was tight ishbia was down to make moves. But he blew up to much at one time. Should have kept monty. Beal being a glass house and having a no trade clause.
Book and KD wanted to play together after the Olympics why KD did what he did. Book needs blame for the explosion. Funny that even with ALL the hate on DA for his play he was never swept! LOL Book/KD or 0-5 in the playoffs! First year of all these super teams don’t workout so we’ll see what happens next year. Point guard is a excuse because Boston doesn’t have a one. The team lacked leadership on the floor
I’m actually going crazy about how GM’s think that you should bring in 2 superstars with injury proneness. Like this isn’t even the first year, or only decade where this has been a problem. If you bring in 1 injury prone player, but he rest of the team are healthy, that’s completely fine, but their big 3 is like 2.5/3 injury prone. Devin Booker is right there, he’s almost injury prone with how often he was out too. Nba players can play 82 games before the post season, do you think it’s a smart idea to bring in a player who can accidentally break his ankle during warm ups? Unless he is LeBron or MJ, do not bring someone that fragile. It’s crazy how GMs actually still do this, and I’m willing to bet this won’t be the last time that a gm will create another clippers or suns team. I’m almost certain this is happening because Kawhi managed to come back after being on and off for like 2 years to win a chip with Toronto and then went back to not being able to play, and these teams think that could be them (which it won’t)
Bradley beal worked harder than anyone to get that supermax from the wizards but everyone knew those were empty stats, everyone except for the suns front office
Any trade where you are giving up first round picks after the player retires is insanity. When the dude you're trading for has a history of unhappiness and team jumping, it increases the insanity exponentially. I think the simple fact is KD may be the most overrated player in the nba. He can score like crazy, but when it comes down to demonstrating heart and putting a team on your back, he fails miserably. The only time where his success lived up to his reputation was at Golden State where he was insulated by the rest of the team. Draymond was right. The warriors won before KD and they won after KD. They didn't need him, he needed them.
People dont understand the Beal move. Phx had CP3, an old, overpayed player that didnt even play in the playoffs due to injury. If CP3 left, PHX would still have 0 cap space to work on rounding out the roster. They literally UPGRADED from CP3 to Beal by re-trading some draft swaps that had ALREADY been swaped. They got Beal for nothing.
I agree. Many of these commentators don’t know what they are talking about. They were literally about to release CP3 for nothing, I love CP3 but Beal is an upgrade over him at this point
I gotta feel bad for fans of Arizona sports. They’re hockey team is leaving cuz of crap ownership, they’re basketball team is screwed for the next however many years, the Diamondbacks went from one round away from the finals to second to last in they’re division, and the cardinals are the cardinals. Just such a terrible time for them
Beal is the true definition of an empty stats player, not Booker or Trae. He is only useful when the offense runs through him to average 30ppg on a 8th-11th seed, the moment you put him as a second or third option on a team with expectations he becomes a glorified role player.
I called it during the off-season, the Suns had the perfect team after the Beal trade and they ruined their team for no reason by trading DeAndre Ayton for a bunch of garbage. I don’t care what the narratives made by 14 year olds online are about Deandre Ayton being “soft”. He’s a better player than Jusuf Nurkic, and anybody who would debate that is under the influence of drugs/alcohol. Suns got rid of a talented big man with first round talent, that already had chemistry with their team.
