ATL - Nico gets the boot

[raferfenix]

Even accounting for maximal delusion for Nico and Patrick Dumont there is just no above board justification for valuing Anthony Davis anywhere in the vicinity of Luka.

That was proven out immediately by AD's inability to stay on the court.

When they trade him the paltry return they get will reflect just how blatant all this is as well.

Totally an A-B controlled comparison. It's not like 50% of the top 12 (both minutes and # of guys) are totally different this year including 2 guys with questionable attitudes no longer in the locker room.......

Devin Booker 2795
Kevin Durant 2265
Tyus Jones 2174
Royce O'Neale 1837
Bradley Beal 1702
Grayson Allen 1544
Ryan Dunn 1410
Mason Plumlee 1300
Oso Ighodaro 1045
Nick Richards 816
Jusuf Nurkić 592
Monte Morris 417


Not saying Bud didnt play a part but there is extremely limited crossover between the two teams and it is still extremely early.

Are you saying there Suns upgraded their talent by trading KD for Dillon Brooks? Jalen Green had barely played because of injury.

I do agree that it's early, and I doubt they continue to win at this pace.

I'm saying don't underestimate a lockerrom cancer like Bradley Beal

Yeah, seems like vibes are way better on the team without KD and Beal from what I've seen from their fans.

Pelicans are at 2-10 with three losses by 30 points or more.

And Joe Dumars traded their unprotected 2026 first.

Idk what it’ll look like but firing the coach won’t be the only desperation move they make.

That'll do it

Willie Green should have been fired 3 years ago.

I was told the Suns issues last year weren't Budenholzer's fault.

A much less talented Suns team is now 8-5.

The fire Bud sign guy at the parade continues to be on point.

Bud’s system was revolutionary on spacing, but then the league caught up with that, figured out how to exploit his drop D with five out, and added pace. He never adapted outside of Jrue and PJ forcing him to play full switch during the title run which also made him willing to sit Brook in the second half a lot in that run.

Add in Beal tanking the locker room and KD pouting when things are not going perfectly and it’s a recipe for disaster.

Kon 8 points on 3-10 shooting tonight. 5 turnovers.

It’s a back-to-back. Reliably told you’re allowed to take the night off due to exhaustion

Going against our perimeter defence to OKC's would mess anyone up

There isn't even an available box score for the Nuggets/Wolves game. Stats just stopped being recorded in the 2nd half. Wild night from the NBA. Poverty league.
