KD is elite, it’s Devin Booker who is not elite.

[@wowfactor2857]

Kd is elite yet his getting cooked you bum and getting traded lol😅😅😅😅😅 every media is cooking him off to his next to get cooked again

[@Lucky00-00]

So why did cp3 only come cuz book or KD literally only came here cuz booker was here umm oh Jimmy Butler said literally did everything he can to come to Phoenix cause he said he wants to play with Devin Booker and Kevin Durant your just hating 😂

[@rodpayne2957]

It's just that simple. Nothing complex 😎 its hard for bias fans to see KD > Booker

[@ki2726]

Neither are close to elite. Can’t lead a team even to the play ins. Both aren’t winners just hoopers and scorers.

Imagine an organization being so smart yet failing to put a decent team around their two superstars.

Gambo yelling at a 36 yr old instead of having that energy for the Suns number 1 player via fan base 😅😅😅
Booket needs that yelling juice, not KD. Booker is the 1 under performing 😂😂😂

[@wowfactor2857]

@rodpayne2957 ok kd fan boy 😆 🤣 😂 😹 you're man still getting traded so are you with him 😆 🤣 😂 😹

[@rodpayne2957]

@wowfactor2857 I'm correct and so are u 😎

[@wowfactor2857]

Durrant is finished hurry up and get rid of him enough is enough Durrant isnt taking this team to no final his just holding us hostage like beal lol😅😅😅

[@SuperWarioBrother]

I normally like these guys BUT these guys are clowns 🤡 saying KD has to prove something. As KD once said “You know who I am, I’m Kevin Durant” 💯

[@aroro13]

Ice cream softie Durant

[@Pablo-ds6ip]

We did way better without KD and Beal today against the Jazz

[@StonerKitchen]

kD is elite, but the suns need an elite leader, which he is not

Brain Windhorst is right great talent, but no culture. The First Change In The Summer Is Going To Be Fire The GM. Time To Start From Scratch Ishbia.
