So now Stephen A is saying he's right because the team "might consider trading him eventually"? Man the way ESPN lets this man get up here and make up stuff consistently is wild
You think he doesn’t get this info from people in the league ? He religiously stated if his sources want to bend the truth that’s on them his job is to report on what he hears. What’s so hard to comprehend? I get it you take his word as gospel so if anything happens otherwise you in here crying in the comments…that’s the issue grain of salt my boi grain of salt 🤣🤣
@@quis363just because he gets some info from in the league, doesn’t mean he gets all info from in the league. Anytime someone denies his claims, which isn’t always, he just blames his sources or says “well I guess we’ll never know unless they do it and I’m wrong” which means he can’t be wrong ever. 😂 Doing that will make you seem like you made it up at a certain point. Boy who cried wolf type beat. And as long as people think because he quotes sources sometimes he deserves validity everytime is a fallacy.
@@quis363and if it’s the offseason for the league he’s discussing, especially the NBA, be even more suspicious it’s a fake headline for traction. Especially draft day. If the man has a history of his sources being inconsistent on truths vs lies, why prop him up for having sources as if that makes it okay to put your name on some BS? 😅
@@quis363It’s on his reputation as a reporter to verify the veracity of the things he writes about, not his sources. Have some journalistic integrity…
And yall watch, that's why he wants $25 million a year lol
Stephen A the same person who said KD and Westbrook were gonna opt out their contracts back in the day and sign with the Lakers 😂😂😂
he also said warriors would win the chip. goes both ways
@@MichiganHendoughdoesn’t take a genius to know that warriors team was winning the finals bruh
😂😂😂
@@alexpaparo454nah he was only one saying that about that 2022 squad. And he said it early before Klay was back from injury
Then when he get called out he would say they missed quote him 😂
It's impossible for SAS to acknowledge that he makes an erroneous comment.
SAS will leave like Skip, one day, and we wont care, just like Skip lol
@@SupportBae SAS has been doing sports commentary for longer than you've been alive lmao, he will be missed. Especially if you are not Gen Z you would remember how often their show would light up the sports world and create discussion when they were together.
Jaylen Brown "STATE YOUR SOURCE"
- Isaiah Thomas
😂😂
@@gee7840
No reputable journalist is gonna reveal their source
@@gee7840lol very true , Thomas was the one that originally challenged Stephen A and said it.
Stephen A just can't admit he's wrong and it's honestly sad.
Cause them clowns at espn built him up that way
He isn’t wrong…
Stephen A just forgets that we are at a point in time where he can't just say random things and not get immediately checked by the people he is reporting on.
Trust me he not worried about you lol
This is why he’s 60 and unmarried
Perk looking like he knows Stephen A just talking 😂😂
Perks face when SAS said Budenholzer will be at PHX longer than KD. Bro had enough 😂😂😂
Stephen A like that delusional ex girlfriend 😭😭
Stephen A source: trust me bro
stephen a sources always in question
SAS is the same person that said in the middle end of the season that Dame was unhappy in Milwaukee and that he was done there…that it was over. He just wants clicks and to hear his own voice. Narcissistic
Stephen A shouldn’t be allowed to “report” without stating his source 😂
4:09 he said it publicly because of “reporting” 😂
That’s not how it works even remotely. You don’t state a source on national tv, they will never trust you with info ever again. People get fired for giving information out.
SAS’s source could be lying or just wrong, but I highly doubt he is just making up stuff.
Alot of times those sources are someone close or intimate with player. Tell their name and they will never tell you anything again......be realistic
@@Terry-hc4iwdoesn’t mean that they aren’t lying lol and this wasn’t somebody “close to the player” smart guy..it would make sense for the context of the information.
I’m not a fan of SAS however as a journalist which he is and at one point he was a great one with the Philadelphia Inquirer you can’t reveal a source unless they give you permission. Regardless of what you think of him that would be unethical for a journalist to reveal a source without permission.
Legler is the best analyst i ever seen
He’s good, but better than me? Nah, no chance.
So now SAS knows more than the owner? 🙄
it’s not hard to tell when someone is capping 😂😂😂
You know the towel boy knows more than the owner, right?
😂😂😂 nah fr he is a clown
Owner cappin
Stephen A’s credibility was long gone once he said Ben Simmons was a jump shot away from being Lebron 😂😂
But he was.
Ben Simmons was that good. He just fell off.
SAS is mad Perk had a source
😂😂😂😂😂
James jones saying we’re not trading Beal 😂😂 like he has value
I think he meant it in a general sense, they’re not trading Beal because his contract contains a no-trade clause, so yeah… they ain’t trading Beal because they aren’t allowed.
STATE YOUR SOURCE
Stephen A Sources be wrong alot lol
I’m with jaylen brown it’s time for Stephen a smith to “STATE YOUR SOURCE” 😂😂 dude apparently thinks he has a better source than the actual owner of the team lmao
Tim Legler is only one is legit source
Yea let’s believe SA and his “sources” vs the owner 😂 anybody still believing SA and his sources must still think Santa Claus real
The owner said he was going keep Vogel then fired him 2 weeks later so yea I’ll believe SAS over a delusional owner who thinks this team don’t need a point guard
You should do what you're doing in your profile picture and "Shhh!" Keep quiet. The Suns owner is too stubborn to make any changes even after getting swept by the Timberwolves.
@@thetruth7089naw he never said that, he said he would like to keep Vogel but wasn’t getting into his performance. Not even close to the same thing so keep believing in the tooth fairy.
@@wook1990Wow that was a good one !👍🏽 Yea the same owner that fired head coach and just gained more draft capital 😂 Y’all don’t like Basketball yall love fake reality tv drama
@@Mo_Gotem we’re getting swept again next year let us go into next season with nurk and no point guard and what’s gonna happen
KD is always engaged, lives and breathes basketball. He doesn’t even have time to brush his hair. Cmon
Booker wouldn’t mind being a Knick lol had to slide that in there
Reunion if he do go
The suns should draft Bronny and trade Kevin off and get lebron. LMAO that would be funny.
Seriously, there is nobody in the media who gets called out more than SAS. Players, Front office other media members etc. If u take SAS serious in regards to knowing his sports, i feeel for u. Hes a character at this point. Imagine being able to say my source and never having to prove anything.
I want to say something that no one wants to admit… and that’s that, as good as KD is, he is not needed to win a championship and you can not use him as the center piece to win a championship. He is good, great even, but multiple teams can tell you he’s not the answer. You need to already have a TRUE championship team built already, otherwise you are just wasting your money and hoping for something he has proven he can’t bring you
Right on the money and u have his history as backup and some yrs his teams were healthy and lost. So is he the deciding factor or not?
I think you can make Kevin Durant your centerpiece, you just need to build around him properly & the thing with KD is I don’t think he chooses teams that fit him best & he values scoring too much. KD needs a well rounded team with a clear leader, like they don’t have to be a TRUE championship team but like he would have been awesome with this Knicks team if they could have gotten him.
@@djadondaman17Hit and miss. Nets were NEVER healthy. Also, Phoenix was hurt about 85% of the season and they literally don’t have a complete team to judge KD off. Brad Beal Is the piece they didn’t need. They need a legit PG and a couple athletic pieces
Stephen A lost his touch. Almost unwatchable at this point
You all have filled my heart with joy. Thank you for your kind words!
Stephen A always gotta double down instead of admitting fault the humble don’t stumble
“From what I’m being told” is Stephen A. gossiping with Skip Bayless
It will forever be beyond me how Max Kellerman isn’t on tv but Kendrick Perkins…
I mean what else is the guy supposed to say 😂😂😂 “ the rumors are true guys… we don’t want KD and we are looking to trade him “ 😂😂 like let’s be logical here
Facts. And for KD its only going to be a tough sell. Giving up players + picks to get a guy turning 36 before the season starts AND its gotta be somewhere KD thinks he can win I don't see many teams checking enough boxes to have more than a conversation anyway
He could of said nothing like everybody else do & just let things happen
@@ChopDaDon You know that don't fly nowadays. Everybody knows what Phoenix's situation is in terms of draft picks etc and how much they are over the tax facts that stupid deal that same owner made.
@@I.am_Grootagreed. Houston, OKC, and NOLA are the only teams that could do it. OKC won’t pay that much for a 36 year old, so it would have to be NOLA or Houston. Even then, that’s a tough sell what Phoenix will ask for
Rumors are fake. KD would never join a team that’s not ready to win. Rockets don’t have team that’s capable of winning the finals.
lol SAS is such a clown he mad when he gets proven wrong all the time 😂
Stephen is like the drunk guy at the bar that tries to talk sports and people just rant because they know he’s way off and they rather not make things awkward by straight dawging him
The way Stephen A talks about KD right now about the criticism outside of his actual gameplay is reminiscent of what he was saying about Kyrie Irving. So, I feel KD has one more run in him, likely with the Suns, like Kyrie did because he is using that as motivation.
Why now? Should've had this mentality after steph won his chip since some fans believed he saved steph legacy. Well save your own
If Randall get any more injuries he’s gotta go. He’s played a full season once in his career and he’s never played a full season for the Knicks.
Great show
That's why they say NBA media is toxic
Stephen A shouldn’t report anything without having sources
Very well spoken....Y'all dnt forget that.
It doesnt matter if KD stays or goes it will be "business" it wont be KD wanting to leave or anything like that. The suns are either rolling it back or moving on and having a short rebuild. KD will be a valuable asset wherever he goes.
Awesome show 👍
Tim was on point today!!!!! Dress and points!!!!!
This Bristol set crazy work
Sas mad perk put a name on it thats against the code in there game .... we going to see how this play out ijs
That titanic reference was wild
Send him to DALLAS!!!
We saw the Kevin Durant and kyrie experiment
@@ashtonkusher433and it worked they were 16-2 and got traded. Previous year they played like ten games first year kd was coming off Achilles so we never really seen it
@@Lildirt15 they got swept after they went 16-2 brotha
@@ashtonkusher433 no they did not how did they get swept when they went 16-2 and kyrie missed possibly the whole season and harden got traded? Remember Ben didn’t play and the following year they went 16-2 and got traded. Kyrie played 29 games the year they got swept and most if not all wasn’t with kd because he was hurt when kyrie came back i def remember
@@ashtonkusher433 I mean they were practically celebrating like they won a championship game against Minnesota because kyrie came back and put up 50
KP saying “it takes two to tangle” is hilarious
good idea
KD wants to run it back.. Phoenix will be a proBLUM next season tho I'm not gonna LIE!!
They gone be trash
Exactly.
Stephen A just be talking. ESPN is getting paid to troll smh
Some of these old vets need to take less money! I’m not talking about league minimum money, I’m just talking way less that Max! At 35 years old, I would not offer KD or Paul George a “Max” contract!
Perk was over here dropping gems. Had to replay that last segment because he was so crystal clear: Phoenix is not trading their Big 3, yet, but if an offer comes through that replaces what they lost in acquiring Beal and KD, they are going to take it.
OK Perk with the best take 💪
STATE YOUR SOURCE.. PERK STATED HIS STEPHEN A MAD 😂
Remember the DeRozan and Raptors Saga back in 2019
The best place for an anting start with a team mixed with vets and younger players. Dallas.
No molly = no interruptions
Phoenix would be idiots to not do this, rockets picks would give them a complete team and KD would get to be on a team with a complete roster make the deal
State your source SAS????
Perk has looked shooked since he got mad at bron
Dawg Kendrick had that "you know i played with kd right " face
A moderator who actually knows when to keep quiet and not interject her, more than times than not, meaningless two cents and let the panelists who the audience are ACTUALLY trying to hear from talk.
More of this woman, less of Molly please.
Tim Legler head coach of Detroit Pistons and Kendrick Perkins is one of his assistants
Did anyone else catch the Easter egg at 3:45? It totally blew my mind!
Remember when Stephen A was so wrong about KD going to Lakers that he basically threatened KD?🤣🤣
State your sources
TIM LEGER AND THE LIEN EYES ...IYKYK😂😂😂😂😂
It is gonna be whatever its gonna be. Something tells me PHX floated the idea of trading KD or at least indulged some conversation but found NOBODY trying to take on that contract AND give the SUNS value in return
Tim Legler head coach for Detroit Pistons and Kendrick Perkins is one of his assistant
Stephen A source was the dude that took his order at Pizza Hut and talked with him while waiting for his food
As a suns fan, we can’t keep KD. It really messed up our trajectory. KD is a team tanker. You always have to give up too much for him and it showed last year
Stephen A state your source
Kendrick " it takes two to tangle " Perking 🤣🤣
I was looking for this comment 😭
As a Suns fan can we just keep our mouths shut until next year, no need to say anything regarding kd
One of the only trade scenarios that makes sense:
- Kevin Durant
for
- Julius Randle
- Isaiah Hartenstein (sign-and-trade)
- Miles McBride
- pick 38
Crazy how the Suns owner went from winning a National Championship with Michigan State in 2000 to being worth over $10 billion.
Real story here
State your source
Stephan a always hating
hes that egotistical that he cant admit hes wrong? Hes going against the word of a gm is crazy 😂
First time hearing Stephen a Smith?
This talk right up SAA alley lol
An offer they can’t refuse, Poole and Kuzma 😤
So Kendrick Perkins basically said he wouldn’t give up the package that the Knicks gave up for bridges for Kevin Durant and Stephen A co-signed it…… and we are supposed to believe that they are credible sport’s sources
James jones was talking to perk as a hb and he told the world smh
Ishbia with the skip “my turn”
Lying eyes that’s shade to Skip lmao
Unless KD has expressed interest in being traded, don't trade him. Just give him better pieces.
Suns are contenders?? That’s news to me.
We approve this message Leggs
Suns should run it back.
1) They have no choice.
2) They have good players, lets go!
What are these “news” segments?
All the Suns need is a true point guard
Let’s see how kd responds to him speaking for kd saying he loves it
Nobody:
SAS: "All I'm saying is Devin Booker is happy in Phoenix...PHOEKNICKS. If ya get what I'm sayin"
Bro reaches so hard 😂
Are they high lol KD is always unhappy. If u try to please KD u will always lose.
imagine luka getting swept first round. they wouldnt ignore that fact like kendrick and SA w/ durant... but we all know why, thats all that matters :)
Should not be a shock to anyone that Molly was not there because she always gets the two weeks during Wimbledon off
Stephen A is actually right because if they come out and say they wanna trade KD then teams will lowball their offers because they know phx wants to trade him
Stephen A isn't reading the X comment correctly. The Suns owner started the post saying that there are drama and storylines, some are true and some are false. Then he says it's his turn, before stating how they love KD and how they have a championship team. Some of these comments are true and some are false.
If you have been paying attention for the last several weeks, SAS has been spewing some of the most outlandish, backwards, out-of-touch takes in his career.
