[@Leonardo-Lenguaje]

The irony of this team is two fold: 1. They shipped CP3 not realizing that the team's actual problem was just Ayton. They traded CP3 away for a player that was redundant with KD and Booker based on how he gets his points but who brought nothing additional to the table--he was also injury prone like their other top two guys... they should have been in the market for OG anunoby or Siakim, both players that cost less and aren't redundant and who require fewer touches to be efficient and are better defenders. It probably would have cost them less as well. Damn, they could have probably gunned for Trae young... would have made more sense. 2. KD left GSW and kind of ragged on the motion offense in favor of more isolation play. But on a team with no point guard, it probably would have been the best option to make this team better--probably could have bumped their seed up by 1-2 spots... because on a team with no point guard where you're already turnover prone, may as well get other guys' offense going to help spread the floor. KD for some reason didn't realize that that GSW team was so great because they actually took advantage of having 3 great scorers on the floor at the same time by setting the table for anyone else who was on the floor with them--better spacing. Now they're cooked and their best option legitimately is to trade KD AND Booker, because they're not good enough to even get out of the first round and have no assets left to even improve beyond signing a bunch of minimum contracts. Contracts they can't even get value out of because they have no point guard. May as well start the rebuild now. They had a good run, and we should genuinely remember this team positively, but it's over.

[@VinceLyle2161]

I think people have forgotten why the role of a PG is so necessary to stabilize the offense and let your other stars work more off-ball to get to their spots. Both Beal and Book are at their most valuable when they don't need to have a lot of possesions where they're stuck bringing the ball up and setting the floor for everyone else. Not saying that this team would have done better if they stuck with CP3 over Beal, their fate was sealed when they gave up any kind of depth for KD, but not having a Rubio or Conley like "chill out the offense" PG with the starters was never gonna work.

Frank Vogel is and has always been a garbage offensive coach. He can succeed if you give him elite defensive talent and enough shooters to balance the fact that he plays 90s ball, but otherwise he has no chance of coaching a title contender. The early 2010s Pacers were a different era, and LeBron and Davis carried him in 2020. He can’t make adjustments to a different roster than his absolute ideal one.

The thing people get wrong about super teams is yes they had the big three ... But the also had depth ... Remember the year the Celtics won they had Rajon Rando before the injuries and Kendrick Perkins. Miami heat in the years they won had Chris Anderson,Ray Allen, Mike miller and Mario Chalmers. Even the warriors had had depth in Livingston, Looney and Iguodala...So yes they had a big three but also had multiple role players in the rotation that weren't just veteran minimum contracts ... They still had the depth a team needs to win .. which is a key part of the equation most GMs seem to forget.

Exactly.

I didn’t watch much of this series. But it seemed like every time I seen the score the Wolves were up by double digits.

[@elpistolero1094]

“3 offensive guys and a bunch of weirdos” Seems like the suns in a nutshell

[@WNRDB]

As a lifelong nets fan, am I now in the position that everyone else was in when the nets acquired, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett from the Celtics?

[@mechamogaka6964]

Straight up, I’m worried Kd will never win another right post golden state 😢. Seriously he isn’t getting any younger and if he doesn’t win a ring i don’t think he will be truly be credited for his championships or his career in general 😮.

[@VorLin24]

as a suns fan i seen this coming completely. i’ve been looking forward to the off-season since before the playoffs started 😂

[@zada2423]

2011-2014 heat were more than a big 3 though, they had depth from sacrificing pay for their stars. Phoenix is paying 150 mil to those 3 next season

[@syafiqmazlan2179]

The but, proceed with kyle lowry really got me 😂😂

[@hibachiagent0249]

Best part of the video is saying but...then having a pic of Lowry 😂

[@ThatsPety]

I definitely thought that that series would go to 6 or 7, and that pheonix could even win the series. Im with you guys that i thought they matched up well. Crazy

[@Booker4Three]

Oh booker, where do i even start? Devin Booker's impact on the game transcends mere statistics, epitomizing the essence of basketball greatness. His breathtaking ability to score, highlighted by his unforgettable 70-point eruption against the Boston Celtics, underscores his unparalleled offensive prowess and resilience under pressure. Booker's dedication to refining his craft and delivering in crucial moments has solidified his reputation as not just a star player, but a transformative force in the league, drawing comparisons to some of basketball's all-time legends. Devin Booker's iso gameplay is among the greatest we've ever witnessed, as he combines a dazzling array of moves with an uncanny ability to create separation from defenders. His footwork, agility, and control allow him to navigate tight spaces and exploit mismatches effortlessly. On top of that, his shooting precision and accuracy are unparalleled Booker consistently converts from all areas of the floor, whether it's a contested mid-range jumper or a deep three-pointer. His remarkable ability to execute under pressure not only makes him a go-to scorer but also reinforces his status as one of the most elite and dynamic players in the game today.

12:02 Frank Vogel would have grounds for a wrongful termination suit if he got fired. Matt Ishbia gives him a top-heavy roster with little to no depth that does not Vogel's philosophy, tells him to make to work, and fires him when they get exposed by a more well-constructed team? Frank better have a lawyer on speed dial. Besides that, the KD trade was questionable enough, but the Beal trade did them in. The Suns' front office weren't gonna get much in return for CP3 no matter where they traded him to, but Beal should NOT have been the return. They also could've tried to fix things with Ayton before trading him, too. Hell, they could've kept Bridges and Cam Johnson and given them bigger roles on the team, thus keeping their depth and their assets. Matt Ishbia has screwed this team over for the foreseeable future. There is nothing wrong with making aggressive moves, but to make them without THINKING is even worse.

I could not stop shaking my head during this video 😒

[@jasonholzhausen1093]

Remind me how many playoff games did the trailblazers win this year? You guys make good content but theres always been an air of hate for the Suns.
