Brehs, are we ever going to have a SERIOUS discussion about the PHOENIX SUNS and Kevin Durant?

[No1]

This.

Why is it so hard for fans to admit faults of their favorite players???

Like has KD done ANYTHING WRONG???

The better question is why do you guys have to go to extremes? There are plenty of on the court things to criticize him for.

He may be finally figuring it out with the lineup changes but it was past time for coach bud to do something. The net rating of their most used lineups have to be the most extreme youll ever see. their most used lineup was -18.6 in 119:31. 2nd, +29.8 in 74:23. 3rd, -21.8 in 53:36. 4th, -26.5 in 45:10. 5th +29.3 in 42:53. 6th -20.3 in 34:14. I dont think Beal and Nurkic are complete poison that you have to trade but you have to find lineups that work and use them and if that means dialing back their minutes then so be it.

This is the first year since his first two seasons that a team is a negative with Durant on the floor. His numbers are still good so is that a sign his impact is lessening despite the numbers. The counter to that would be theyre 16-10 with him, 1-9 without him.

And ppl have agendas and like to shyt on KD, but he's the second best scorer I've ever seen in the flesh. The footwork, the consistency with how he raises up for his jumper once he gets to his spot, people need to stop hating and realize this is a once in a generation player. Just look at Brandon Ingram who they thought would be as good as KD, he's KD on heroine.

KD on heroine is fuggin hilarious

this team is an embarrassing pile of dogchit

Why would Jimmy want to come here? The suns are one of the worst run organizations right now. Like honestly James Jones needs to resign. Cause he's gonna be the fall guy for Ishaba and all his horrible moves. Durant should leave as soon as possible. Just goes to show the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Had the Keys to the kingdom in Brooklyn. He and Kyrie should have worked things out.

team sucks

durant has been really good recently and they still cant win. woof blow it up

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

And so many people actually thought he was the best player on the warriors. It's a joke.

KD isn't top 10 or 15.

He probably #21 or some shyt.

Fact is, if he never goes to Golden State, he isn't even Harden status all time.

And that's sad.

This isn't true.

However, when you lose betting money on Kevin Durant then this post is a 100% true.

 

[god shamgod]

Durant needs to force a trade to the spurs,rockets or mavs.

Finish your career where you started, quote this post in July

 

[RubioTheCruel]

team sucks

This is an understatement

They just need to admit it’s a bust. They don’t even control any of their first round picks until 2032


Trade KD and Booker, get back a bunch of young talent and picks. Beal you can’t do anything with but at least his contract is over in a couple years.

 

[Jplaya2023]

KDs 27 in 2025 aint the same 27 in 2014. Thats why i laugh when people look at his numbers and claim hes as good as everr

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

KD needs to go back to BKN where he was happiest.

 

[MostReal]

I want to go in but I'll wait

4 years ago the Suns were in the finals...it seems like an eternity ago. The game has changed so rapidly from then. They let go of too many pieces to get Durant...then when that didnt work they fired the coach and made the decision to see if Beale was worth the insane amount of money that the Wizards were offering him. Didnt work out very well for them it seems. I know how that feels. When the Lakers traded for Westbrook it set the franchise back years. I hate to say it like that cause he is a decent player who plays hard...but he dont play winning basketball and man was that contract hell or what. Glad he didn't have a no trade clause.

You cant knock them for taking the big swing with KD after playing the 07 Pistons to Luka's Bron. They tried to salvage their chip window and It just didnt work out. Now bringing in Beal of all players wasnt the brightest move...especially with him having a no trade. Talent (especially scoring talent) doesnt always=wins . The question now is what can you get for a 37 in September KD? Do you just say "fukk it" and trade Book too? Beal aint goin nowhere until he good and damn ready . They need to consult with whoever the Nets GM was that built them into a playoff team with cap space after the flabby trade.
