Beal has a completely redundant skillset with KD and Booker. He doesn't really pass or play great defense, the 2 things the roster really needs around KD and Booker.

This is the worst superteam he's been on yet. People forget that the Nets had quality depth pieces. I think that one would have worked that first year with Harden if not for the injuries.

You can't win in the modern NBA without it.

Great vid Swish! I literally had this exact conversation earlier today before the trade dropped about how the last 4 teams standing this year were constructed.

(We all know when LeBron is on the team, it's different.) Even those teams still drafted most of their talent. Toronto also shows this strategy is incredibly fickle even if it works once, since Kawhi left immediately after.

I will wait until they figure out what is gonna happen with Ayton, Okogie, and any free agents they can grab (like D-Rose for a reason). But this can definitely work. The Nets are the only team that KD has been on that didn't work. And the problem had nothing to do with what happened on the court. Kyrie got suspended, Harden didn't like it, and KD got hurt. The year before that, more untimely injuries and KD still almost beat the Bucks who got the chip. As long as this team gets rotation players, they will be terrifying. Not only because KD is a top 3 player, but also because Book is a top 15 player (and should be considered with Tatum and Doncic with the development of his passing and defense). If they can move Ayton for strong rotation players, then things get crazy. This is not the same as playing with Kyrie and Harden. Book may be a diva on the court, but it is worse to have two divas off of it.

They’re definitely shopping DA for depth. Maybe sign a serviceable center like Dwight Howard or something and load up on depth. If they can turn DA into 2 good rotation players then they have a good chance.

‘These Kevin Durant dont work’ ok bro 😭

[@brandonwilliams4365]

You got to be kidding me. He gets drafted to OKC plays there for most of his career. Goes to GSW and wins two championships. Tore his Achilles and went to Brooklyn where him, Kai, and Harden barely played together because of multiple reasons. Now he’s in Phoenix where he gets the chance to actually play with two elite players like he should’ve in Brooklyn. KD literally just trying to hoop with high IQ players and people really hate that 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@wooh777]

Phoenix needed size and defense, but got hypnotized by another scoring guard 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@DKtrek21]

KD had one of the luckiest careers ever yet he only won with the stacked Warriors team. I don't know what legacy this man will leave. AND it will be another Nets situation. Three of the most prolific scorers in the league. The ball will never be enough for three of them

[@NobelB24]

LETSGOOOOO let the KD narratives begin (again)

[@pblockercamo]

Kd literally living the San Andreas Meme” ahh shi here we go again”

[@urbaindelva7869]

The Wizards just reminded us all of how incompetent of an organization they are. For the Suns, there's no way that Matt Ishbia sat courtside and watched his team struggle against the Nuggets, and thought that ANOTHER star was gonna fix their problems. You mentioned that he played for Tom Izzo, who is a defensive-minded coach. But, Ishbia thought that trading for Beal was a good idea? He's already proving to be incompetent as well. Also, James Jomes should be on the hot seat if he isn't already.

[@Kevin-it4fh]

Beal is WAY better than CP3 in the long run. A decade younger just entering his prime. Not gonna cost nearly as much for his next contract, and talent like that is hard to find.

Once a 🐍 ALWAYS a 🐍

[@B-Will-]

Regardless of what the haters say, know that this Suns squad will be Elite!

[@Lilquan2004]

they said that when kd first join what happen?

[@The_Hendrix]

Swish was fake just ranting and hating a lil this vid I’m not even gonna lie lmfaooo. You can’t tell me the suns didn’t get better with this trade

[@mattwanner1]

Please do nfl vids. You are so good at doing deep dives on teams and players that it would be so fun to watch your takes on players and vids

[@soloistdeve]

Easily the most spineless superstar ever! This guy is not built to compete.

[@flipsolo]

Instead of building around Book and Ayton with complimentary pieces, the Suns fall for the super team that hasn't really worked (Nets, Clips, Lakers).

[@asanitheafrofuturist]

Man I wish we could see more of the KD we saw when he took the Nets into overtime for game 7 of the conference finals 2 years ago. He doesn't need 2 other guys who can drop 30 a night around him. I'm fuckin sick of seeing this shit happen. I'll probably still watch some Suns games tho 😂😂 I am glad Bradley Beal will have a better chance at a deep playoff run

[@asanitheafrofuturist]

I know he might like these lineups better but as a fan it makes for too many uncompetitive games. KD Warriors years were my 2 least favorite years of the NBA since I've been watching in 2011

[@ThaChildishOne]

Now they’re stuck with Beal’s terrible contract for the next 4 years and I believe booker is a UFA in 2024. They gonna have no money to play with
