Durant traded to Houston for Green, Brooks, #10 pick, and multiple 2nd rounders

thats the max he can get. Yeah I hope he brings it down to 90-100

 

KD mentoring Tari & Jabari is just aces!

 

now that we’re actually a threat, I’m expecting Darth Mule to take his antics to a whole new level

spinning nut kicks…rubbing dirt instead of chalk on his hands pre-game so his eye pokes can be extra effective…showing up musty AF so nobody wants to box him out for boards

the fckery from Draymond is about to get turned up a notch

 

lol the difference between green and durant

 

Hopefully Amen realises he's now the default brawler and puts donkey on his ass if he even tries it. Something tells me he wouldn't roll over like the Suns new star player lol.

 

Suns started out the season 8-1, and then KD got hurt

by the time KD came back, Suns were 9-7…he came back, and they started winning again

Suns had a 13-2 record in the 1st 15 games that KD was actually on the court

 

He’s in the lab as we speak.

 

We already know we can win if he's out which is good. It'll just be like when we had to win on those nights Jalen came to work and forgot how to score a basketball.

 

Yeah - but it's still gonna be better if Durant is out for a game. It won't be like when Jalen didn't miss a game physically, but missed the game in terms of actually playing.
At least if Durant is out, someone else can step in and either not score (like the Jalen out games - and we can still possibly win), or score, and we have a strong chance at the win.

 

KCP? I had no idea.

 

Suns have traded 2 seconds for pick 36 in tonight's 2nd round.

So the only thing they have left to look forward to from the KD trade is 2 second round picks.
Ouch.

 

KD for jalen, brooks, Fleming and Maluach

 

And they traded those last 2 picks to end up with the above.

I think we actually want them to be passable in this coming season, finish with pick 10 or something [so they don't get the chance to add an A1 talent], then have Booker get injured in 2026/7 and it'll be tank commander Green back where he is most comfortable

 

If Alpi can improve and move into this top 10, he would average 25-27 ppg and get some All-NBA votes. Mid-range jumpers should be the primary focus of his offseason training.

This is 10x more important than him improving his 3-pt %.

 

FYI he did already get some All-NBA votes this year--just barely missed the cut behind, ironically, James Harden.

 

That's a pretty significant offensive upgrade for us!

 

I hated KPJ+JG backcourt so much.
