Booker and Beal are prime age and paid the max, they should be the guys carrying this team, it really irks me that Beal is playing like such an afterthought when he should be the guy carrying KD during the reg season at least.
Beal has been improving lately after recovering from his latest injury. When it plays, he's really the only one consistently driving to the hoop
Maybe he's been missing games lately. He's probably been our best player over the last the last 8 games or so. The last 5 he's at 22, 6 and 4 with 57% from the field and 41% from 3. The 3 before that he was at 22, 7 and 4 shooting 50% and 43% from 3.

22/8/4/3 it's not an special game for him at all and he had some bad TOs (actually like every other starter) but it was nice to see him play much better than in his last two games.

His best performance in the last few games. He played a perfect game on both sides of the court.
He looked faster, not only physically but mentally and he ended the game with 0 turnovers in 31 minutes.
It seems that he was just having an small slump because we played too many games with little rest.
That lob at 2:17 was ridiculous, he basically dunked over Booker lol.

If KD passes Wilt on all time scoring list then I am willing to bump him up to top 10 of all time.

KD just needs to score 30+ on three of the nine games remaining in the season to catch Amare.
BTW he has played already 66 games, so he has reached the 65-game criteria.
He is eligible for postseason honors.

75 game season for Kevin Durant, his most in 5 YEARS‼️ only player to play more in year 17 is Kobe Bryant (78)
- KD averaged 27/6/5 on 52/41/85 (only player to average 27+ on 50/40% at 35)
- 2nd Highest in PPG at the age of 35 behind Michael Jordan
- Tied for Highest in PPG in Year 17 with Kobe Bryant
- only players to average 25+ in Year 17 is LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and now Kevin Durant.

Would the Suns be doing better now if they never made the KD trade?
And that probably means they don't do the Beal trade either.
Better depth but no real #2 unless Bridges really came on as a shot creator.

The biggest strength of this team was the chemistry, the joy from playing basketball and the joy from playing with each other and Mikal and Cam were the core guys who brought this attitude and chemistry. An they were traded for what?!?! For a guy, who I actually like, but who is hurt 80% of the time in TJ, and *** KD - a former "star", now a whining diva who cares only for himself (who btw also spends more time in street clothes than on the court). I give it a month before everyone on the team starts caring only for himself and his stats and we will see an epic fail in the playoffs.
called it

Probably not, but they'd still have young tradable assets and all their picks.

No, but they would have a path to build a good team going forward. The current roster has aging stars and little opportunity to add pieces.

I would not do this deal. Said it at the time that it was an overpay but we have to move on somehow. I don't think Bridges and Cam were the missing link to a dynasty as good as they were

Not sure what KD would fetch now. He still had an ELITE regular season despite his age.
His last ELITE postseason was probably 2020-21 with the Nets but he also averaged 29 last postseason in 11 games too.
Booker is the one who would have a lot of interest because of his age but he's having his worst postseason, though it's only been 3 games.
Beal is doing okay but he's not getting a lot of shot attempts. But because of his contract, he may not fetch much either.
Grayson Allen just signed a pretty trade-able contract, assuming his performance this season wasn't a fluke. Though he got a ton of wide open 3PAs.
Timberwolves defense is clamping this team down. Team may decide to run it back given that big 3 hasn't been together much.
