Where Do the Phoenix Suns Even Go From Here? 

Very well done video. Just one thing....I do believe you're falling victim to the sunk cost fallacy as far as not blowing up the team because they don't have or control their future picks. Regardless of what they do, those picks aren't coming back. They're a sunk cost. Keeping a bad, aging team together in an attempt to devalue draft picks that you don't even own anymore is foolish. Whether the Nets get the number one overall pick next year or the twentieth pick has absolutely zero bearing on the Suns situation. Chasing the 6th seed next year just to save face will only devalue your meager assets more....as Booker and Durant will be a year older. Seems like Phoenix can do one of two things. Trade KD and Booker now, get how ever many draft picks they can, and start the rebuild immediately. Or they can ride it out, get blown out in the first round of the playoffs for another year or two while devaluing their only remaining assets, and then be the worst team in the league until at least 2032. And either way, their own draft picks are gone for good..

No picks, no bench, no cap space, no chemistry. Come back in 2031 or ‘32.

Suns should go to their GMs office with a sternly worded letter about the Beal trade

_"Fo real? Imma out of here"_ - KD

Forgot to mention they stuck with that Snake KD and that Diva D Book

Kds really out here ruining franchises futures

I didn't think they would beat the Wolves, but getting swept is an embarrassment considering the expectations they had going into the season

Beal’s agent belongs in the HoF

​@@CorePathway right next to Kirk Cousins and Sam Bradfords agents.

I had wolves in 6, expected some life from the suns. Should’ve left Beal on the bench

Multiple teams got swept in the first round. At least the lakers and heat got one win and not many people had them winning a single game. Unlike the suns who a lot of people kept saying they’d win the championship or make a deep run at least

The problem with moving Beal is his salary. I'm sure he would waive his no trade clause in a heartbeat to join a true contender. And every single team in the league would love to have him. But not for $50 million dollar a year. In fact, I don't think you'll find any teams at all that would want him at that number.

@@bluedog424 not sure if teams would actually want beal

@@whatcolorareyour6championships Yeah..... I'm not a huge Beal fan....but I think for maybe somewhere around $18m a lot of teams would want him. He's a good player who could help a contender. But I was responding to the guy who said it was his no trade clause that he felt would hold things up. I don't think that's relevant at all. It's his crazy salary that makes him untradable....

I remember the no trade clause from his Wizards days now that you mentioned but it had slipped my mind. The high salary AND no trade clause together is a killer combination like we've rarely seen.

@@bluedog424 ironically..most would argue he is on a contending team. IMO your point on salary isn't invalid; just the fact Beal still has the ultimate say in where he goes and for what pieces. If Phx wants young and contributing players in return for him instead of picks (since they have little control over their own picks over the next few years), Beal could veto it feeling it would leave the team he'd be going to barren (i.e. the Nets trade that helped put them in this situation). If they want older players to help win, he could veto it because he would want those same players as teammates on the new team. Yea $50M in salary is a huge part of the troubles as well. I'm not going to disrespect your opinion feeling it's not the most challenging aspect of a trade; it's your opinion and that's what sports talk is about. I would just say any and all parts of a contract are relevant as it would be foolish for agents, attorneys, and all interested parties to iron out every detail while also believing their work is irrelevant.

Nobody is gonna give 4 first rounders for KD anymore. Their only asset actually worth something is Booker.

@@konzzaif an owner was dumb to enough trade everything for Durant and Beal with no bench, there has to be at least one other owner willing to mortgage their draft future for Durant’s offensive boost.

@@konzzaCorrect! Whatever team Durant went to would be fools.

@@RAJohnsonly team that could is the Knicks, Randle and have tons of picks.

@@smuj77 Yeah. But why do that? Does he get them the win over the younger Cavs or the Pacers? They still could not beat the Celtics with him.

They're a game away from being bumped from the 1st round and continuously fall short because the FO can't or won't aquire star talent. Nothing to commend

And KD.

@@icebergnitroKD wasn’t bad

They are paying him $50 million a year. That’s insane. Mat is the dumbest Jerry jones owner in sports

@@dman1069they’re paying book and KD the same amount of money and they can’t do anything about the cap space until 2030

Marc Gasol locked down Embiid. The pick and pop with Lowry & Ibaka, Vleet, Norman Powell, of course Siakam and OG … our team was DEEEEEEEEEP

Basically, raptors team that season it's mostly same I think like the season before when they got destroyed by cavs they just bring kawhi, green and gasol maybe

He went MIA. 😂😂😂

Maybe it was a typo on his part. Suns (going home) in 4. …and I say that a Suns fan lol

Thanks! Really appreciate it!

He's too old to get a great return imo

They gotta trade him and book as a package, KD leaves book will not want to stay don’t mind him saying he wants to be like “Kobe”

Try to trade Nurkic to Wizards for Tyus Jones. or else send him back to Portland for Brogdon. (Trade works out. I checked) And then get minimum level centre from the agency or just trade KD at centre! 😅

@@kedrprao Brogon can't even play. That guy often gets hurt. He'd probably give u 15 to 20 season games.

Beal is going to knock on Ant’s door this summer and ask if he can have his soul back.

No no, I said their big 3 players (KD, Book and Beal) THEY have a combined salary higher than 14 teams TOTAL 12 man roster payroll

Can also add NO Depth, NO Point Guard, NO Defensive mentality, NO Leader, NO identity

Lol wow

Exactly

Unless Beal himself demands a trade, they are stuck with the guy.

@@killerjoke2945that’s the point wise guy. 😂

U think u can do that when u literally doesn't have assets to got the player?

with what fucking assets

Fck no. He had his chance stay his spiders having a meeting on his head ass over there. 🕷️🕸️🖕🏾
