Brehs, are we ever going to have a SERIOUS discussion about the PHOENIX SUNS and Kevin Durant?

[Dem313wayz]

When is Devin Booker gonna get some smoke?

KD is at the end of his career. Booker is in his prime and doesn't elevate anyone bit nobody talks about him cuz it's easy and convenient to criticize KD

I think he’s being miscast. Having him be the primary ball handler and playmaker doesn’t seem to be what he’s best at(the Tyus Jones addition was a disaster)

CP3 just got old. That team that Luka sonned in the WCSF was good, won 64 games. They need to find a new guy that can run the offense and just let him concentrate on being a finisher and secondary play maker

 

[VegetasHairline]

Booker been getting a pass his entire career.

 

[IIVI]

Phoenix is still trying to recover from passing on a Luka/Booker backcourt.

Booker been getting a pass his entire career.

Damn near forget he even exists

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Damn near forget he even exists

people so focused hating on you know who that a lot of guys in the league are hiding in the shadows and getting passes

 

[daboywonder2002]

Smoke for what? Not magically turning into a PG on some 2K shyt? Its plenty of dudes putting up numbers and not winning shyt. shyt thats most dudes. Expectations are for the top guys and he aint that and never has been. KD aint even catching heat like that and I dont necessarily think he should but I mean Book has been the leading scorer on a Finals team more recently than KD has been the leading scorer on CF team. We gonna blame him for CP getting old and KD not being what he was brought in to be (which is asking a bit much from a 34 year old post Achilles) and trading for Beal?

Everything doesnt have to be blaming a player. Sometimes shyt dont work out. Sometimes...most of the time...FOs arent very good.

Dude you quoted is one of them

 

[MikelArteta]

booker is the new bradley beal just a empty stat padder

 

[SchoolboyC]

KD needs to go back to BKN where he was happiest.

Well that’s the thing, KD only ever been happy playing for Team USA

id say its because as all time amazing as Durant legitimately is he never became what people expected him to be. People expected him and his skillset to have had more gravity in the league... maybe justified maybe not


as great as booker is people dont have them kinda expectations of him... he prolly is generally projected to fit into the mountain of great players that will never win championships

Durant was expected to be well beyond that tier

KD was literally about to win 3 straight Finals MVPs

He surpassed all expectations

i didn't read his expectations as being a suitable compliment to already great teams and players... at least initially... the expectations have tapered over time
