Source: Suns could fire Mike Budenholzer in offseason to appease Kevin Durant, Devin Booker

[jerzboy]

The KD trade was dumb…. The Beal trade absurd and idiotic. Beal didn’t make the slightest sense of being on the court with KD and Booker.

Sometimes I wonder if KD forced that one on the Suns.

. Sources have told ESPN that the Rockets have repeatedly expressed interest in Booker, a 28-year-old star who fits Houston's timeline, and that those conversations have been brief.

"Never happen," Ishbia said, interrupting the question. "It's silly. So here's what I'll tell you: I have Devin Booker in the prime. In order to win an NBA championship, you got to have a superstar

" the prime" Dude talks in platitudes like Trump.

You can't fool me. I'm smart. I know that to win the NBA, you need to have good players. Not bad players. Good players. Great players in fact. I have very great players. My star player, let me tell you, he is the best. The very best player. You want to have him. I like him. They can't have him. His name is strong too, Booker. I like that name. It is tough. Are we gonna win a championship this year? Book it. See. It works. He is the best. They want him. I have him. Lots of coaches want to coach him. They need to talk to me.

KD is the ultimate coach killer.

Fired Kenny Atkinson and Nash in Brooklyn; Monty, Vogel and about to be Bud in Phoenix.

He shyt on Kerr too. This guy is eternally miserable. You gotta have a really strong culture to consider trading for this guy in the summer.

hes 37 yeah he puts up points but its just empty stats like aaron rodgers on the jets throwing for nearly 4,000 yards and 30tds

 

[MostReal]

atp KD has had an issue with Vogel, Atkinson, Kerr, and now Bud

he's a coach killer if this happens

"Bu Bu Bu Bu Devin Booker is the franchise player. We have to build around Devin Booker"

It’s crazy cause I haven’t heard his name in a long time. What happened?

 

[Joe Sixpack]

It’s crazy cause I haven’t heard his name in a long time. What happened?

Nothing happened he's a good player but he scored 70 points in a game on a bad Suns team years ago and somehow got stamped with that Kobe Mamba mentality narrative so everyone thinks he's on some Kobe shyt

Media narratives are fascinating

 

[GoldenGlove]

He will go if you just sit him. No-Trade clauses can easily be broken

Beal has 0 value and the NTC combined with the contact value is a part of mainstream basketball talk more than his actual game now. It's over.

We just saw this happen with LaVine a year ago. Once the league and your own team sour on you, there's limited paths to come back from it. Even with Zach coming back and being one of the most efficient scorers and shooters in the league the best asset Chicago got in that deal were the protections removed from their own pick from the Spurs.

They need Beal to come back and show he still can help a team before any trade talks are even mentioned. And even then it's a long shot anyone will take him

 

[Rekkapryde]

Man, y'all(me too, probably)would KILL Bron if he had Booker & Beal and had the record the Suns have

But since KD is a "basketball savant" and a "hooper", he gets a pass and excuses like "look at the roster!"

Yup

 

[RubioTheCruel]

They fired Monty cause he was the problem, brought Vogel in.
They fired Vogel cause he was the problem, brought Bud in.
Suns are worse now under Bud than they ever were under either Monty or Vogel... perhaps Ishbia completely misread the talent on the team and they just suck?

 

[VBM]

Spurs bout to sign Bud for the coaching vet minimum to be Pop's successor.

 

[Illuminatos]

Mavs and Suns are having a Trash Off. Straight dumpster fire franchises.

 

[duckbutta]

These new owners come in and do this shyt every time trying to be “splashy” with the their 500 million toy What a shyt show

It is funny when you think about it. Ishba came in like "I'll build a super team RIGHT NOW" .

Instead he traded for a dude with a no trade clause, then didn't get Jimmy Butler cause the dude with a no trade clause refused to be traded (even after they benched him), fired a coach he still paying, might have to fire a second coach he will still have to pay, and all he got to show for it is getting clowned by the fukking Timberwolves in a first round sweep . Now he got no picks, no coach, and no hope.

Ishiba that one friend who come to your house at 7 with drinks like "ITS GOING TO BE LIT TONIGHT " and by the time10:00 rolls around and its time to go to the club this nikka done thrown up 3 times and passed out on your mini futon and you looking at it like "going to have to throw it away monday"
