Tre' Green I mean I’ve seen some of their games and watch a lotta clips, Ayton is giving great effort, he fights for position and runs to spots for easy buckets, it’s just that he’s not getting the ball a lot. What more can you ask from a rookie??

EBKTrapGod the Wolves were actually improving with Kevin Love. The Suns have gotten worse the last three years. I honestly don’t know how good Booker is because the Suns aren’t doing anything. He doesn’t defend and he’s streaky. I’d honestly pick Zach Lavine over him. He has talent. I don’t think anyone is denying that, but I just don’t believe Booker can be a centerpiece on a good team. Maybe if he’s the second or third best player, but not as the best player.

yep bad picks like markelle fultz nerlens noel jahlil oakafor and michael carter williams will occur cough josh jackson dragden bender alex len and possibly mikal bridges when you tank for 5 years but you will also find a ben simmons joel embidd dario saric devin booker denadre ayton tj warren when you tank ….la got Ingram russel kuzma randle and while ball is a bust hey 4 out of 5 aint bad right....when your drafting high cough hawks with collins and young, your going to find studs....the knicks meanwhile always draft late cause they dotn tank so they haven't really gotten those blue chippers quite yet...it usually works..look at the magic with penny nick and shaq...

Booker turns 23 in the fall of 2019. If he’s smart he gives Phoenix a couple more seasons before he demands out. As Max was saying, they have a couple intriguing young players and the chance to add another top tier young talent to add to Booker and Ayton. Patience in Phoenix makes sense.

KD played 8 years in OKC, left in free agency to go win a championship, and track said he was a coward. He didn't say a word about trading him.... .....and yet yall said he was a snake and coward. Lebron gave 7 years to cleveland, even though the talent around him was far less than what Devin has around him. He leaves in free agency to have a better chance at winning a championship because, the orginization was doing lebron, far worst than they're doing devin.... and yall said lebron was a coward. Devin has only played 5 years, so now he deserves to go somewhere else? 🤔How? AD has given 7 years to the pelicans, and their poor coaching decisions, and the moment he asked to be traded, guess what they said about him......"disloyal" "coward".... Why is Devon different?

[@Dreaaddy]

sholove Sholove bro what are you even saying? LeBron was hated because he formed a super team in Miami and was a product of Akron and was the cavs savior and Kd was because he joined a team 73-9 team that okc was up 3-1 against..obviously regardless of the circumstances fans will dislike players for wanting out of their franchise especially if their stars..that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t want out if they’re not doing anything to build a solid team around him..if you were a player I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t want to waste your years on a franchise that continuously loses

[@sholovesholove4620]

@@Dreaaddy Do you really believe devin booker would ask for a trade so he can go to another team like the Phoenix suns? 🤔Let's just think for one second. That solo superstar shit is for idiots who fall for that fake "jordan won six championships by himself because he was loyal", ignorance. If he does request a trade, he's going to want to go to a team where there is a star already there, and looking for another one. Don't kid yourself. His situation is the exact same as Lebrons. Except he just wasn't as good as lebron. But people call that cowardly. I just want to know if him requesting a trade isn't cowardly, then why is lebron's or KDs move cowardly, considering they all know the same thing, and have all seen people's careers run into the ground, with nothing to show for it, all just to say "Im different than other stars, im loyal".
