2022-23 Season Discussion and Speculation 5 - The KD era begins

I just don't see how the Suns got better, you better hope kd cp3 book and ayton can play 45 minutes a night cause there is nothing off the bench. And after 2 years this team toast.

I for 1 hate this deal. Good luck.

You guys got better. Make no mistake, a young Booker along with arguably a top three player in the league. Best of luck on the rest of the season and now is your chance to go for it all.

Moronty has no keys to freeze Ayton anymore when his pet is now gone. Need keep some defense on court. :lol:

We have now great passers like CP3, Book and KD so there is coming 40pts nights for Ayton. :nod:

If this doesn't fail spectacularly I'll be surprised.

Unless we replaced Cam Payne there's not much room to improve the bench.

Lee, Warren, Saric, Biyombo is about standard for a contender possibly even good if healthy and in form.

I never got a Bridges jersey. Kind of want to find one before they are discontinued. Maybe they are on sale.

Damion Lee is playing 22 mpg and he has been really good for us. You can count on him.

Why?

The team is now old with players that are often injured with no draft capital and no bench. Not a good combination

The amount of times a superstar wins a playoff series is probably many times more than their bench.

We lost because Giannis and Doncic destroyed us and now we have Durant to destroy other teams.

Also, wouldn't be surprised to see Ayton traded before deadline, could see him wanting out now, he is an emotional guy and his 2 best friends got traded he doesn't really like, cp and him and Book aren't tight either.

We will see if the often injury prone senior brigade can carry the squad. They guys you mentioned are much younger. Lebron probably the only guy I can think of that age to carry a team to a chip.

Just don't think basketball is an old man's game guess we are about to find out.

Warren is a starter until inevitably he gets hurt

All the pressure is now on Booker. No more excuses from his lovers.

Oh give it up man. Lord have mercy.

GOD THIS!!!!!

Some ring chasing veterans still join the Suns. It's always been done that way. Just see.

bwoolf2 · Post #439 » by **bwoolf2** » Thu Feb 9, 2023 11:57 am

I think my biggest issue is I hate watching isolation basketball and now we are an isolation team with Book and Kd just don't enjoy watching it. Oh well.

Just woke up to see this. Incredibly upset about the trade.

What do you think our chances are of winning the West and the Championship if we win the West?
