I dunno if this happened earlier in the season as well but to go off on 9 April feels pretty damn late.

I wonder if Booker is alluding to the Suns breaking up the team last year. He obviously was never consulted about the KD trade and based on all his quotes from then till now I don’t think he really wanted the Suns to trade everything for KD and change the team up completely.

Ayton was a part of a team that won playoff games, not get abused and swept by the TWOLVES LOL..
Enjoy this team. We were better off with depth, young hustle players, and players who had fun together!
Also, if anyone gets banned for backing Ayton then it should go both ways with dude talking about masturbAYTON with lotion
Would any of you do KD+Nurk for Embiid? Would Philly I wonder. I ask because I think the Sixers go down in 5 and Embiid might ask out this summer.
No way would the Sixers trade Embiid for an almost out of the league KD.
Durant played in way more games than Embiid has and has a better injury history. Besides we're basing this off of the theory that Biid wants out. I assume we'd be on his list.
Personally I think still that KD ends up in Gotham or Oklahoma (can there be 2 bigger disparities in city life than those two? ) but who knows.
I've been saying the playoffs will show us all what the team can do....and they did. What it showed me is its time to move Durant, while he still has great value.

Yeah players need to at least make an ASG or something that season to call them stars. Beal was a bit more than a 6th man for the Suns this season while being paid as a superstar.

I still can’t believe there are Ayton fans. Actual dedicated fans
Yep, there are dedicated fans who actually remember who the most important players on the road to the Finals were just the couple of seasons ago.
Now, I hope you enjoy current boring, zero chemistry team lead by our non-existent supermax star who got spanked at home again.
We haven't won a single playoff game without Ayton for 14 years!
FACTS.

Re: 2023-24 Season Discussion and Speculation 6 - The Playoff Quest for a Title
So we have been swept by a team that was supposedly our best matchup out of top3 Western teams. Wow, but not really surprising.
This Suns team to me is boring to watch and I do not see any reasonable ways to improve it. Basically Garnett-Pierce-JJ Nets 2.0.
I would blow it up, trade every player including Book and start from scratch but I don't see Ishbia having balls to do it. So a couple more seasons of mediocrity ahead. I guess I won't be watching NBA too often.

Be careful when calling a long time Suns fans idiots. I follow this team since 1993 and since I am from Europe I often stay all night long or wake up at 3AM just to watch Phoenix Suns, you ignorant disrecpectfull ****.

Too bad Ayton quit on this team. Him on this roster would have been interesting though no Grayson Allen.
We can play the what if game but honestly this coaching staff is the WORST in the entire NBA.

Hi Ryu. I have been a fan since 93 and I'm not going to sit here and pretend DA is the solution.
This team has no coach, no system, no identity, no passion, low energy with a dumpster level bench and even worse they don't show up in the playoffs.
There is a reason I have a Sonics logo and hope this team is moved to Seattle.

They've been waiting in bed all year long with a picture of him on their nightstands surrounded by a bunch of lotion soaked tissues waiting to be able to jump on here to somehow equivocate that still having NonParticipAyton would somehow change the course of this season.
They're a very imaginative bunch. I mean like that malcontent wouldn't have mentally checked out under all the chaos and dissaray this year. He did it when the Suns were an upper echelon team for crying out loud.
Oh and vs. The Mavs in a historic 7th game slaughter AND AGAIN the very next playoffs when he didn't even play in the elimination game vs. the Nugs because his wib hurt i.e. he had mental and vaginal cramps.
They been real quiet for the entire season and of course they come out when the Suns fall.
I've given DA enough of my patience and mental space for 5 years when he was a Phoenix Sun. I barely gave a F when he was a Suns and for sure IDGAF now that he's a Blazer

Will see what happens next year under a different coach. We will see just how much of this was his fault. I don’t think KD or Booker will be traded unless they demand it, which could happen.

Well it appeared to be the best matchup based on the regular season, but we only faced them once with KAT healthy, and that was a b2b. I think game 1 may have caught them off guard, then we didn’t make substantial adjustments until game 4. Could have won tonight, but Edwards and KAT were absolutely on fire, and why wouldn’t they be, up 3-0 with absolutely no pressure at all.

I don't think they'll be traded neither. That is the only right and smart thing to do, but there's no vision nor courage in this organization to do so.
As i said, most miserable feeling ever as a Suns fan. I'm literally physically unwell.
