And lebrons lasting legacy will be he ring whore'd and still couldn't come close to Jordan lol.

LeBron is at worst the second best player of all time (really is the GOAT tho) so nobody has to worry about his legacy. KD doesn’t belong in the same breath as Bron and that’s not a hot take.

Sounds like LeBronto did a number on u lol


Nah... just a Jordan Stan lol.

The Wizards have swap rights for all of them, including 2030. Although Wizards suck so bad that they don't gotta worry about swaps for now lol


Even if the swaps convert (they may or may not) that doesn't mean that the Suns don't have a first round pick.

There's kind of a big difference between "you don't have a first round pick for the next 6 years" and "you've got 3 first round picks in the next 6 years, including one in two months - and the other first picks could potentially be lower".


But it heavily hurts your ability to rebuild properly. Just go ask the Nets.

By the time the Suns actually rebuild and get bad, you would guess the Wizards will be on their way up. I would guess that Wizards get at least few of those swaps from the Suns in 2028 and 2030 but who knows.

They should have never hired him in the first place.. Kevin Young was the guy for that job.

Sure. It's his fault. Not the roster construction. Someone has to take the fall when you can't trade Beal. Or admit that acquiring him was a mistake. Just one bad decision after another. Then again, he may not want to return.

Yea I favor Denver in that series but Denver is cooked against a lot of teams if Murray is hurt, not just Minnesota. Murray is a massive cog for them. No Murray and they are toast.

I think Edwards has a chance to be as great as Jordan if he plays at this level for 10 years.

Let's pump the breaks here... You're saying that Ant can be as good as the GOAT? He's awesome, but I don't think he'll be in the GOAT discussion?

Ofcourse, it still hurts but there's still a big difference between you don't have a first pick and you actually have 4 first round picks.

Vogel is one of the worst offensive coaches out there. Even playoff Bron and Ad had their issues on offense w/ him. Those Pacers teams were dreadful on offense despite having good talent and depth.

Vogel is best served as a lead defensive coordinator or defensive coach. Suns had alot of roster flaws but he doesnt understand offense well at all. Someone like Bud would fit alot better.

Awful news.

Always liked Chris Finch, one of the more likeable coaches in the league imho.

Fingers crossed he will be okay.

thats a big harsh and Lebron is not getting 6 titles, in fact he would be lucky to win 2 titles in that run. If KD never joined warriors then it would not have been this universe and warriors would still be the favorite to win in 16.
