    I was certain that was their way of telling us they got a Midlife Crisis.....instead of banging the co-worker's wif Udoka style.

    KD should sign for $35M then take the rest of the contract in Tilman's gift cards. Worked for Kawhi and the Clippers.

    Gift cards are too obvious. Just give him some lifetime free lunch coupons.

    100 pages for KD trade. Hopefully he is playing strong after 100 games here.

    I hope KD eventually shows up in these IG videos where part of the team is getting some runs in together before training camp.

    Well he's definitely going to be the main man here, I doubt he'll struggle for usage at all.

    I think KD retains most of that effiency on volume due to his mates and extra space here. But, the risk of injury increases.

    He can have all the shots he wants here.

    Looking at his FGAs, FTAs and scoring average, this makes little sense.

    The frustration probably was just him playing on a team where everyone other than him was terrible.

    His usage was slightly lower than career averages, but on a team full of scrubs, it probably should have been higher.... but if it was he likely just gets hurt.

    I wouldn't expect him to feel that way here.

    compare KDs FGAs and efficiency
    and his Suns teammates' FGAs and efficiency

    For real it’s kinda weird. This was all announced like almost 3 months ago and he hasn’t been pictured in uniform or done a presser?

    Especially after last offseason where everyone seemed so tight and on the grind basically all summer. Not that I have questions about it all working or like chemistry won’t snap into place quickly when most of the group is returning and the main addition is a HOFer. It’s just been a stark contrast. Also school started and **** the summer heat. And the Miami Heat. I’m just ready for hoops.

    Tari has a lot of flaws but I still like him, but he’s not the difference between contending for a championship or not. KD is. He should be the number one priority, period.

    Do you need me to send someone to pinch you? I know it feels like a dream.

    Does it feel like you and Jongro have kinetic energy?
