Give him playoff minutes, he deserves it
The thing so glaring in these recent run in the rotation he’s having compared to before is he’s clearly playing with so much more confidence than he previously was

Sidenote: How do y’all feel about this talk of us being the team to trade for KD this summer?
As great as he is I’m not sure I really want it. Obviously an all time great who’s still playing at a top 10-top 15 level but he’s been miserable on every team he’s played for and lowkey a coach killer
Plus when you consider all we’d have to give up because of these new CBA restrictions, would we even come away with a better team![]()

Nah, I'm good. You don't make big trades that deplete your roster for 37 year olds
Yeah there’s basically two routes
A - We trade Jaylen straight up
B - Salary dump Pritchard, Hauser & Tillman to get under the 2nd apron then package Jrue & Porzingis for KD
A is obviously a non-starter, but even B I’m not really convinced that makes us a better team overall, especially if Horford retires
100% agree. There's just so many reasons that make it an automatic no
1. KD is just not a factor on defense anymore. KD can still put up 30-35 points with ease. But defensively he's taken a couple steps back. It's like people don't realize why the Suns were bad this season. Having 3 defensive liabilities with Him, Booker, and Beal on the starting lineup are the reason why they are in 10th place in the West
2. Trading away a 27 yr old Jaylen for a 37 yr old KD is just a non-starter
3. The 2nd option of Trading away all the players you mentioned just to get 1 player in KD would have the Celtics with a roster of Jayson, Jaylen, White, KD, and Kornet. In this new CBA, it would make it extremely hard to do the whole "just sign people to a veteran minimum to fill out your roster for a chance to win a title" thing because of the weird rules that can prevent that
