Kampfgeist Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I can't believe a trade package centered around Gordon Hayward, Kelly Oubre and Plumdog couldn't get this done. I'm shocked. Probably because we wouldn't settle for the beans the inferior trio of Harden, Irving and Durant brought in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm saying. I bet they lose in the second round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Bam and Simmons can't be on the same team because of their contracts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDez Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Ayton has always matched up well with Jokic. I’m nervous about the Pels who match up well with the Suns. Maybe they can get a bruiser for Saric’s expiring and a future pick swap to bang with Zion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was wrecked the last time they played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Smithers Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Depth in the playoffs overrated. I remember when the big we traded for Harden I worried about losing depth. Lol Suns will be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartica4Real Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 4 hours ago, Kingram said: Hot take, I don't think this even makes the Suns the favorites in the West. CP3 is declining pretty rapidly in terms of being a scorer, Ayton has almost 0 interest in being there. Booker and KD is really nice but they just traded two pretty key players for him. My sizzling hot take is the Suns don't even make the WCF. That is definitely a hot take. Don't get me wrong, I don't the Suns are anywhere close to a KD Warriors level of favorite and I would for sure bet on the field before I would bet on the Suns and not even think twice about it. But at the very least, if healthy (that's the rub as always), they should be better than any non-Denver Western team. CP3 is declining rapidly but he's looked better recently and he's not gonna need to score when he's passing to Book and KD, even Ayton on the inside. I think the Celtics, Bucks, and Nuggets all have more than a fair chance at beating them, especially this year with so little time to build chemistry, but they'll still become favorites for the next couple of years imo.

KD historically massacres us, but we've been better vs him since we got Herb, Herb gives him some semblance of trouble, as much as you can a guy like KD. That would mean we can't play Herb on Book though and Book is already capable of cooking us. Pels are a couple pieces away imo, even as a Pels fan.

I'd bet Durant and Booker don't fit that well, and Booker dips a bit because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
