We won't get much for KD at his age. taking emotions out of it, Booker should be the one to go since he will bring back quite a haul. Beal is completely redundant with Booker here but is actually a very good 2nd option if Book isn't in his way.

This isn't a knee jerk reaction since I've been talking about it since last season when it was evident this big 3 wasn't working. Beal is good on ball, and a complete waste standing in the corner. He's not tradeable so unfortunately trading Booker is the only way out of this mess.


Booker needs to retire as a Sun. Unless he demands a trade, you don’t move a guy like him.

Book it.


I know. And we'll be even worse for it.


Maybe if we perform poorly near the half way mark Ishbia might consider trading KD but who would want him at his age and price?


Dunno. CLE might be an answer as I saw this the other day:

What is KD doing shooting over 2 players. What a dumb shot. No coach can out-coach stupidity

Where was the boxout from Beal on the missed free throw? So good on the ball but does none of the little things well, bad habits formed on bad teams i guess.

1-0 feels good. Ugly but sometimes you have to win that way
