NBA 2k25 Phoenix Suns Franchise Rebuild Ep. 1 | Kevin Durant and Devin Booker TRADED

[@Epic2kartworks]

I absolutely love this. Most people just take over the bad teams but taking over a team who mortgaged their future and trying to give a realistic or semi realistic Outlook of how to fix it is unique.

For even more realism, next time that you do this, you should edit the GM and make him you

[@UtilitySports]

I didn’t even know that was possible… can I still edit it now?

[@Saulgoodmanman]

@UtilitySports yeah bro just go into staff and click on the GM and you can change his name , appearance , attributes and badges

[@Saulgoodmanman]

@@UtilitySports did you find it?

[@noahdeatley8751]

I really hope the rockets would not make a trade like that in real life. Jalen Green AND Jabari is crazy. One or the other, sure, but I don’t see them trading both

[@Wake-up1776]

Please make a video explaining what the Pistons are doing. They cut Reed, signed McCoy. Cut McCoy and now signing Reed? I'm confused

[@UtilitySports]

trade guide is scheduled for this weekend! I talk about those decisions toward the beginning of the video

[@Wake-up1776]

@UtilitySports i appreciate that, someone more intelligent than me has explained it to me but it'll be nice to hear your perspective

[@elitetv1735]

Yeahh.. no way Houston gives away 3 starters AND 3 FRP for Devin Booker.. sooo we’re are giving away the now and future? For basically one player.. don’t see that happening, the rockets aren’t even that desperate to make trades happen from all the reports about the front office.

[@UtilitySports]

Wait until the playoffs. Is Dillon Brooks a forever starter in Houston?

[@Cam71718]

It’s devin booker amen and Tari can easily replace the 2

[@elitetv1735]

@@Cam71718 - with no depth after that. Also I just don’t think we need Booker that bad. We can easily find a playmaker and shooter FVV and Green. Then brooks is up in the air, he can come back or we can find another 3 and D player and if he’s not as good as brooks we move up tari and put the 3 and D guy on the bench.. I don’t think Booker is worth all that as non factor as a defender, a pretty inefficient 3 point shooter, and can’t even be a secondary playmaker IMO.

[@Cam71718]

@@elitetv1735 have u evernwatched devin booke? hes not a bad defender , him being a okay 3pt shooter does not matter when he’s a elite scorer nobody on the rockets can score efficiently and saying he cannot be a secondary playmaker is a insane take honestly

[@elitetv1735]

@@Cam71718 - he’s honestly not even a “okay 3pt shooter” he’s literally bad, he’s only had 3 seasons where he shot over league average from there and one of those seasons it was literally 0.05% over.. he has a 0.6 A/TO ratio, bookers Defensive +/- puts him as the 444th best defender in the league.. his DWS (Def. win Shares) put him at 262nd best defender.. so the numbers don’t support your claim. Also in the playoffs, excluding that one random year with the finals run, he has lost in the 2nd round and first round every season, I will say Booker offensively is pretty good in the playoffs but there’s literal memes about his defense in the playoffs.. and just hasn’t really had much success. I’m really fine him not being on the team.. the only star level player I want on this is fox because I want a fast pace playmaker, FVV is a pretty slow pace playmaker, and although a bad shooter I think his pressure inside will help everyone else shoot better.

[@alecfranklin3827]

Why is Houston giving up both Dillon Brooks and Jabari Smith when they can send in Cam Whitmore plus a bunch of expiring salaries like Landale, Tate, Jeff Green etc? I get that maybe Jabari has a higher trade value than Cam, but Houston has way more draft assets that they can use to supplement a deal. So why not do something like Jalen, Cam, salary filler plus the same picks going to PHX plus HOU 2028?

[@UtilitySports]

I only have 6 trade slots to work with in 2k and wanted the Suns picks back (3 of the slots). The other 3 slots had to include 1) Jalen Green and then salary (Jabari + Brooks) I tried multiple iterations and the best/most realistic one was the deal we made

[@alecfranklin3827]

@ okay that makes sense. It is 2k after all haha
