PHXSUNS31 Intervention Needed

There’s a world where that get the suns to the 2nd round next year, but they aren’t winning a title and Beal/KD will age quickly.

Booker has been here 9 years now. I’d rather lose with him than lose without him.

Best team of all time? I think you’re forgetting the trade was the next year

Ya it’s gonna be interesting…not a lot of options…kinda have to run it back

Why do they have to run it back? Why is trading Booker not an option?

I don’t think the haul they’d get from Booker would help them win

Teams that want him won’t want to trade their good players though

I don’t know why people get hung up on this. They traded a broken CP3 for Beal,

Ya the KD trade was the all-in move…Beal was changing out old parts

How does the Beal contract not decimate the Suns for the next 3 years?

When you’re above the 2nd apron it’s almost impossible to add salary

You can trade Durant, not Beal.

Everyone keeps saying this. They traded cam Johnson and Mikal bridges for KD and
