Literally has nothing to do with Luka, he ain't gon let you hit bro. He should rather focus on losing weight or he never gonna be healthy again in his career.
@ That's not what I said, genius. I said he broke the organization, exposed the problems, and exposed the ineptitude of the leadership. CP3 is gone, Ayton is gone, Monty is gone, and Booker is a shell of his former self. Throwing KD into the mix was never a solution, and the Beal trade has been a disaster.
So you're telling me that having three stars, that play in a very similar way, that aren't very good defenders and are overpaid (Beal at least) didn't work out ? Well I'll be damned.
It also turns out that the NBA is not a three on three basketball league, and having two way below average players on the court negates any potential benefits of having three above average guys. I realize it is hard to keep up with how many players are on the court, but someone should let the Suns front office know.
Who remembers that Jusuf Nurkić some people were saying Jusuf Nurkić was better than Jokić and that Denver made a mistake for choosing Jokić over Nurkić? Yeah, wild times.. Down2Buck viewers remember..
As a huge Suns fan... I remember the morning I woke up, opened my laptop and saw the news that Bridges and Cam were traded.... i got that cold feeling you get in your gut when you read bad news... and my gut ended up being right
I’m a die hard suns fan and I’ve been calling Booker overrated for year. People roasted me for it. Booker has never been the guy. The 2021 fluke finals run skewed everybody’s view of him. The suns should have blown it up years ago
@ every team they faced was missing either their best or second best player. You can’t name another finals run where that happened. That’s the definition of a fluke.
@brianchuksadizue you people put way too much emphasis on the regular season. We dominated the 2022 regular season too and the mavs smacked us in the post season
Watching Beal and Dame getting exposed in 4K has been hilarious to watch 😂😂😂 They were always mid sized fish in tiny ponds. They aren't made to swim with championship sharks
@@mekacrabno he wasn't. He was the worst playoff win% in the league and has zero highlights past the first round. The one time he made the finals, he got swept by the Warriors while KD was out with an injury for the whole series. Dude is just riding off of Twitter clout for loyalty. He has zero individual accomplishments.
Superteams work if you have 2 or 3 of the top ten players in the NBA like the Lakers did with AD and LeBron in the bubble or the warriors with KD and Steph, the Celtics with Jayson Tatum and Brown, the Heat with D Wade LeBron, Shaq and Kobe. But you can win a championship with 1 MVP level player and elite role players like Giannis and the Bucks or Dirk and the Mavericks. But what the Suns did never win championships. None of their big three play defense and their games do not complement each other at all. Booker and Beal need the ball to be effective and neither one of them are above average defenders or playmakers. The suns should blow it up because there is a huge market for a young player like Booker and still a market for Kevin Durant
you know it's going to be a banger.. when dumb Perk gets exposed in the intro. If anyone deserves the current mess Phoenix are in, its Devin Booker. "with all due respect, I don't see how anyone can guard us"
I was so confused when this trade happened. They have no playmaker. No defenders. No depth. Three players that play the same. We knew this wasn’t going to work. Of course they going win games because they have the talent but not enough to make it past 1st round.
They went to the Finals and really just needed a good power forward to get some rings in the future. Instead they blew up the team, fired the coach, traded what they had except for Booker but including their picks, and STILL didn’t get a good power forward, no longer have an above average Center (instead having a guy who should be third on a Center depth chart), and laid waste to their bench. Front office needs to be fired. I picked the Suns to finish 11th before the season started and starting to think I was optimistic. Big three? Suns have one guy OKC would trade straight up for any of their top seven guys.
@@milliondollarart And wasn't he also swept by the same team GSW beat in the finals, carried by Booker and still lost in the 2nd round against the Nuggets, swept again by Ant, and may miss the playoffs this season?
Your argument doesnt make sense my friend because KD is the one who lead the warriors when he was on the team which is why he was voted mvp both times. He outscored curry & shot a better percentage, right now durant is averging 27pts a game at the age of 35 shooting 51% after an achilles injury most people are trash after an achilles tear you have to be strong to bounce back from that. The warriors are also trash right now even though curry is also putting up big numbers but you cant blame curry or durant just because their teammates arent showing up! Because now people are saying curry isnt nothing without klay thomas or durant which is a lie. You gotta appreciate greatness while its hear because all the greatest players of all time said we will never have a kevin durant again top 5 scorers of all time did you watch the recent olympic game 8/8 from 3 against the best players in the world, Look up Kevin durant showcase efficiency in olympic game my friend
@@big.sleepy-v4eI'm not a fan of Durant slander either, but man was unstoppable because curry was being blitzed and doubled and he was the most open he ever was in his career. He had a role on that team that nobody of his caliber ever will probably have again. Wait for the mvp and his system to create the advantage and then you (also an mvp) finish for easy buckets. That's the role of a second or third option, not the role of an offensive powerhouse and one of the deadliest shooters in history.
@@NotBlackWolf i can never disagree that he had it easier on the warriors because he did. But how can you not talk about the thunder, people forget he was a rookie on a team of rookies and brought his team to the nba finals thats leading a team. When he was on brooklyn Kyrie couldnt play and james harden was hurt and he brought them to the playoffs by himself and still almost won. KD is one of the most double teamed players in the nba for a reason hes #8 in all time scoring with the greats in the whole nba and still shoots one of the highest percentages in the nba 51% Luka, Kobe Bryant, Curry, The Joker all said KD is the best all around scorer so i guess i just find it funny that these nba professionals says hes the best but fans disagree
the kd trade could have been more understandable if they didn't choose to ship mikal bridges and cam johnson, who built the identity of the team, and they could have gone after a younger point guard since CP3 was aging, and instead built around a core of booker, bridges and cam johnson, maybe even ayton if those tensions eased soon enough
Their big 3, none of them have been leaders of teams either. They could get buckets at points in their career, sure. More to winning than just buckets though.
Nurick is good, the Suns are just misusing him this season. almost half his shots are 3-pointers, and as a result his offensive rebounding (his biggest strength) is down and his assists are also down. Budenholzer has one system and it revolves around a center that can shoot 3s. He's completely inflexible which is why the Bucks got rid of him.
They have nothing of value for Booker. Iannis and Lillard are out of deal. Middleton is worse than Jimmy: old, always hurt, a shadow of his old self. Portis is a backup. Lopez is ancient. Bucks had this same problem last year when Iannis gave his passive aggressive ultimatum and they dealt Jrue right away because he was only one of trade value.
KD is the most overrated player in nba history. he has been on a big 3/superteam every second of his career and all of them have been failures except for the time he joined what was already the best team in nba history. the reason people will disagree with me is because he has 2 participation award championships. if he went to any other superteam besides the superest team ever, his legacy would be repeated failure despite having the most help ever for any superstar.
I agree with you. But on KD’s defence; you can put any all-star shooter in KD’s place and the Suns still won’t be top 5. There’s also the fact that the warriors aren’t really a super big threat anymore after Klay left (being centered solely on Steph made the team strong yet far from consistent)
@-Insert-Name_Here- the Sun's were top 5 before KD joined. That's why he joined. The warriors won championships before and after KD. So yes being steph centered works.
@@Beamin439 yeah but that was with Klay. After he left, Trying to predict whether the warriors win or not is like trying to predict the day someone dies; one moment they’re beating the best in the league, the other they get beaten by the worst. They lost by 51 points against the grizzlies 2 weeks ago and just yesterday they lost by 30 to the kings. They’re too inconsistent to consider them winning any future championships.
The Beal trade was just bad the moment I’ve heard they did it just because of the trade clause. Not even the contract amount but that clause, they shot themselves in the leg
they need really tall tall guys who can jump good and high to be on team...also guys who can put ball inside basket even if they need to climb a 6 foot ladder....durant for of night one for one and you got Suns vs Raps this year finale.
@braindead3919 he was an improvement and did help things i won't disagree but I feel like I remember some analysts act like just having a him at pg would solve all these other problems they have
This team is 9-2 with all their players healthy and 5-0 with KD and Booker (minus Beal)... the real problem is Beal is useless and does not fit with the team. Nurk being bad they can still manage if Allen, Royce, Dunn, etc are playing. Bud not willing to keep Beal on the bench and not giving Bol time is whats killing them. KD and Booker with defenders around them should be able to make them a Top 4 team... a taller stronger defensive Power Forward would make them a true contender.
With everything that has happened since Durant left GS he should have stayed there as long as possible.... the whole Nets debacle and now the Suns. I guess hes just in it for the money at this point since theres talks of him extending @ 120M for 2 years
3:07 is just a flat out lie. All it takes is one visit to pbpstats to know that the beal minutes are not disastrous. He is still a very good player that has a redundant skill set with the two best players on the team. Beal on with KD and Book off is a +16 in 130 minutes.
Sund broke up s young Core team that had success every year and fired their coach for THIS 😂😂 THEY HAD A BOOKER, BRIDGES, JOHNSON, AYTON and plenty cap space to rebuild around that youth but choose to blow it up for KD & BEAL.....so basically the money they have paid both of them could've went to Ayton n they would've still came out cheaper than their current situation now
DBook is a superstar but kind of very low on that superstar level. Just look at it rationally, he's good at everything, but not exceptional at anything. This league is for the hyper monsters that have at least one caracteristic that's unmatachable, like a perfect shoot or a monster athlete. DBook simply doesn't have an attribute like that. He's good at everything but also everything that he does is stoppable.
Phoenix is beyond a mess. Their only hope is trading Beal right now if they don’t they might as well trade Durant and booker in the summer and start again because they are going absolutely nowhere.
BENCH BENCH BENCH. Cavs, OKC, Celtics. what do these all have in common? Their bench alone can easily carry the game when the main players are out, that's why their losses are so low. (caves went on a 15 game win streak ) You have starters on multi Champ teams like the GSW that can't even put up meaningful numbers or defend, THAT'S FUCKING EMBARRASSING.
Nurkic and Plumlee aren't good centers. If it was up to me I would have kept Landale and Eubanks. The Suns have no rim protection and then try to play a "just outscore your opponent" type of game. That doesn't work. Defense wins games.
Sandale and Eubanks aren't backups. They third centers. Plumlee is a usable backup, Nurkic is a starter for teams in 20-30 range. If defense wins game having their big three together means you need a Marcus smart AND Rudy to cover for their horrible defense. You going to need two DPOY to try to cover.
Nurkic is like Frankenstein on ice. It’s embarrassing to watch…he should go play in the wnba he’s so soft. Big for nothing. You’re absolutely clueless bruh.
The suns fell for the trap that the Lakers fell into the year after they won the chip smh. They had the formula, the blueprint! got cocky, desperate then folded. All they literally needed was a 3-D, versatile, functional wing player(s) that’s it‼️instead sigh; just like the Lakers they went for the name and star appeal; they went for the old washed up high school baddie (Beal) with the 3 kids 3BDs and ZERO RINGS !!!
Wow so you just going to let KD off the hook? This guy gets more passes then any “superstar” I’ve ever seen it’s ridiculous. Then he has the audacity to want to get mentioned amongst the greats. KD is the franchise annihilator, dude hops from team to team looking to duck the grind and come up on a free ring, but the basketball gods keep humbling him everytime
Beal and Nurkic are terrible and destroyed the chemistry that could’ve been built. They have no identity or go to plays. Everybody saw the crash and burn the minute they signed Beal. Nurkic could’ve been traded, but Beal salary, no trade clause AND terrible play not only destroyed chemistry, but also any possible future
You cant just give up On Your Franchise player that wants to be a lifer & Kevin Durant still in his late prime. Ppl love to just blow everything up immediately once its not going great. You arent getting a 2 better 2 than those maybe ever. Make it work. Trade everybody talk is so lazy and tired. Make the Gm do their job and improve the roster.
The suns always have been a joke just now is everyone noticing their “big 3” is more of a big bag 3 cause they ain’t have no cap space after paying KD DBook and Beal there is no chance you can pay any body else good
Kd is too ball dominant he won't be on a winning team only got them 2 rings cause of steph and warriors were that much better than everybody..he doesn't make anyone or team better

Do u happen to have another channel iNabber??? 👀👀👀
Hahahah no but I’ve heard of him
No defense, not chance. That´s the reason OKC and CAVS are on top.
1st Hornets
2nd Knicks
3rd Suns
Teams whose merch sales would go turbo if they won anything.,
With everything that has happened since Durant left GS he should have stayed there as long as possible.... the whole Nets debacle and now the Suns. I guess hes just in it for the money at this point since theres talks of him extending @ 120M for 2 years
3:07 is just a flat out lie. All it takes is one visit to pbpstats to know that the beal minutes are not disastrous. He is still a very good player that has a redundant skill set with the two best players on the team. Beal on with KD and Book off is a +16 in 130 minutes.
Damn and now they're benching him for Ryan Dunn
he said favorite....
Toronto won their first championship after Yusuf left the team.
Sund broke up s young Core team that had success every year and fired their coach for THIS 😂😂 THEY HAD A BOOKER, BRIDGES, JOHNSON, AYTON and plenty cap space to rebuild around that youth but choose to blow it up for KD & BEAL.....so basically the money they have paid both of them could've went to Ayton n they would've still came out cheaper than their current situation now
DBook is a superstar but kind of very low on that superstar level. Just look at it rationally, he's good at everything, but not exceptional at anything. This league is for the hyper monsters that have at least one caracteristic that's unmatachable, like a perfect shoot or a monster athlete. DBook simply doesn't have an attribute like that. He's good at everything but also everything that he does is stoppable.
Remember the Dr. J 76’ers Superteam of the 70’s. Yeah, they won one Chip. Coulda won 4.
do the GM's and owners know anything about actual basketball or are they just in it for the business side of it?
Nope. Joke are the fans for continuing to support this shit😂
Phoenix is beyond a mess. Their only hope is trading Beal right now if they don’t they might as well trade Durant and booker in the summer and start again because they are going absolutely nowhere.
Easier said than done. He has a no-trade clause. He has to accept a trade for it to go thru.
@@MrOuestyeah, that is a huge problem on top of who wants Beal at that salary.
He's definition of good numbers on bad team.
The Suns are the laziest team i've watched all year.No hustle at all.Team just has no fight.I think they need to blow it up.
BENCH BENCH BENCH. Cavs, OKC, Celtics.
what do these all have in common? Their bench alone can easily carry the game when the main players are out, that's why their losses are so low. (caves went on a 15 game win streak )
You have starters on multi Champ teams like the GSW that can't even put up meaningful numbers or defend, THAT'S FUCKING EMBARRASSING.
None of this guy has ever been a leader, not even talking about winning
Nurkic and Plumlee aren't good centers. If it was up to me I would have kept Landale and Eubanks. The Suns have no rim protection and then try to play a "just outscore your opponent" type of game. That doesn't work. Defense wins games.
Sandale and Eubanks aren't backups. They third centers. Plumlee is a usable backup, Nurkic is a starter for teams in 20-30 range.
If defense wins game having their big three together means you need a Marcus smart AND Rudy to cover for their horrible defense. You going to need two DPOY to try to cover.
They chose to put money into Beal instead of a good center, this is what they get.
Nurkic is like Frankenstein on ice. It’s embarrassing to watch…he should go play in the wnba he’s so soft. Big for nothing. You’re absolutely clueless bruh.
Kd to the big city of Miami to play with bam,, herro,ware.Summer league championship s.All gold medalist and coach in Miami.Beautiful Miami princess
Nurkic needs to take himself back to Europe, if he can’t play with those guys he legit is a useless big
They a super sad joke too … KD WHST HAPPENED 😢
Durent to denver confirmed !!
The suns fell for the trap that the Lakers fell into the year after they won the chip smh. They had the formula, the blueprint! got cocky, desperate then folded. All they literally needed was a 3-D, versatile, functional wing player(s) that’s it‼️instead sigh; just like the Lakers they went for the name and star appeal; they went for the old washed up high school baddie (Beal) with the 3 kids 3BDs and ZERO RINGS !!!
Wow so you just going to let KD off the hook? This guy gets more passes then any “superstar” I’ve ever seen it’s ridiculous. Then he has the audacity to want to get mentioned amongst the greats. KD is the franchise annihilator, dude hops from team to team looking to duck the grind and come up on a free ring, but the basketball gods keep humbling him everytime
Beal and Nurkic are terrible and destroyed the chemistry that could’ve been built. They have no identity or go to plays. Everybody saw the crash and burn the minute they signed Beal. Nurkic could’ve been traded, but Beal salary, no trade clause AND terrible play not only destroyed chemistry, but also any possible future
Kevin Durant is a joke
Tbh Nurkic used to be a good center.
its just the new coaching system
In what universe he was good?😂
@@jpnoy before his injuries
You cant just give up On Your Franchise player that wants to be a lifer & Kevin Durant still in his late prime. Ppl love to just blow everything up immediately once its not going great. You arent getting a 2 better 2 than those maybe ever. Make it work. Trade everybody talk is so lazy and tired. Make the Gm do their job and improve the roster.
The problems are clear. beal & nurkic. you cant trade kd without first actually giving him a Chance to win with a good complete roster
The suns always have been a joke just now is everyone noticing their “big 3” is more of a big bag 3 cause they ain’t have no cap space after paying KD DBook and Beal there is no chance you can pay any body else good
Impressive schizoid run-on sentence.
@ I know I am a genius
so we are just gonna ignore the fact that your glaze on warriors bruh.They were 12-3 and lost crazy.No talks about that?
Kd is too ball dominant he won't be on a winning team only got them 2 rings cause of steph and warriors were that much better than everybody..he doesn't make anyone or team better
