Very strange trade.

Dude: just accept that the Wizards will be horribly bad next year and be happy about that.

I'd like to see Ayton traded for Vuc. Then there will be no excuses for them. The Suns payroll will be north of $200m.pepe1991 wrote:drsd wrote:pepe1991 wrote:This Beal trade makes no sense to me from Suns POV.

That means the starting lineup and roster looks like this as of now:
PG: Cameron Payne
SG: Devin Booker
SF: Bradley Beal
PF: Kevin Durant
C: Deandre Ayton
Bench: Ishmail Wainright
This roster yells " we will miss playoffs ", i don't know what people in nba smoke if they think that's how championship rosters look like. Probably some good stuff since they thought Westbrook_Davis- Lebron is good idea. It's impressive that lot of fans have more advanced basketball minds than people payed millions to build those teams.

IMO, Phoenix Suns has changed from a team with a bright future to now Ring or Die. It is Sad. I think their whole idea of getting KD and trading away Mikal Bridges plus Cam Johnson really detriment the ability about one thing: Depth and future growth.
Yes, KD is a top 5 player in the league. Yes, Bradley Beal is an All Star. But Basketball game is a team sport. Are they fit together? Do they have Depth. IMO this team won't show up for the NBA Finals next season. It is bad micromanaged team from the top. And certainly I am not seeing a Championship team

Tbh they were kind a forced to do so. Alternative was losing Cp3 due injuries/decline/ retirment and having no money to find replacment and bloating salaries of exstensions of Mikal Bridges, Booker ( supermax ), Ayton, Cam.
Suns weren't championship team but Cp3, Booker, Mikal and Ayton were costing $120M . Iv'e said in past that current CBA basically cripples ability for teams to stay competitive. You reach point of bloating salary of re-sings, can't sign anybody new, have no flexbility and you either gave to go balls to a wall for championship or tear it down and start over. Sustained winning ins't really possible long term under this rules.
Look at Nuggets, they won championship, for next year the already have $170M in books tied into 10 men. And Bown will either left them, or they will have to go troat deep into luxury to keep him. Year later KCP- same situation. You get worst as your money goes up.
