What they need is someone to defend.......What a funny team they now call the best team in the NBA....It was just a cuestion of when they were gona do a 180 on Denver. But with booker and beal being the backourt, a 2-3 zone may be enough just to kill them. Even if the get every 3 and D in the league, they cant not guard the rim. They dont shoot the 3 well enough to make up the defense, and they dont attack the rim.

KD is still a 🐐 regardless how you look at it. The Nets got swept by the Celtics because they focused on KD and force others to beat them and the others didn’t step up to help. They literally triple teamed him 🤣. He goes to Phoenix and twisted his ankle in warmup leaving the suns with less chemistry and rhythm going into the playoffs. If KD doesn’t perform this season then I will agree with you. He will be in training camp with the team this upcoming season so it’s no excuses.
@alexk4220 they literally had no defense... they weren't gonna win that year even if they had won game 7 against Milwaukee. KD was being overworked, and you still had the problem of Steve Nash. Harden was a liability but time and time again that's what he is in the playoffs. Everyone blames the Nets injuries but never look at their questionable health as a negative to begin with. Once again KD was injured, Harden faded and Kryie was watching on his couch.
I’m convinced that this is now THE most top heavy team in sports history. Name me a team in any sport with a greater discrepancy between its starters and it’s bench, I’ll wait
@@Chevalier1632 the Nets had decent depth in addition to their 3 superstars. Seth Curry, Joe Harris, Andre Drummond, Nic Claxton, Blake Griffin, Bruce Brown. Maybe more I’m forgetting.
Chris Paul should go to the Celtics because they needs a true table setter badly. Tatum and Brown should be relieved and ball handling responsibilities should be reduced significantly. Booker should be the new point guard for the Suns. He is a good enough playmaker to hold it down. Plus, he should be great against bigger guards on his improved defense. I’m glad Bradley Beal has a chance to make the playoffs🎉
the most underrated part of the Steph & KD Golden State Warriors was how well KD fit within the system. KD has tried to replicate that but it’s just not the same without Steph on the offensive end and Draymond on both ends. This is going to be a your turn, my turn type offense that cohesive teams like Denver, Milwaukee, Miami and Golden State will be able to slow down when the games really matter
They will destroy teams like Houston, Detroit, Charlotte etc. and even roll some good teams like New York or the Clippers and everyone will panic. But in a 7 game series I’m easily taking Denver and Golden State if they keep their roster intact
@@GarbageMan144 I’m a Miami fan and I’m saying it now, they’re bouncing back next year. Idk if they win it all but I’m expecting a 2021 type bounce back

Adding Beal in the mix seems questionable to me because suns needed depth on the bench in order to reach far in the playoffs. Without strong depth on the bench, i don't see this team reach that far in the playoffs. Durant, booker and beal going to score at least 20 or more points but my concern is their defense will be tested. Them 3 will definitely be gassed on both ends of the floor.
@@apparentlylivin Come on now...CP3 is not in his Prime. Did you even watch him? It makes sense to give up CP3 and get Beal. CP3 was not helping the Suns...not at this point in his career.
The Suns have a really good trio, they’ll win a bunch of games in the regular season, postseason could be different, I know depth is important but what they had to give up for Beal was a bag of peanuts, Beal is a star
They gave up a hurt player for an even more hurt player. Cp3 has played in more games the past few seasons than Beal believe it or not. Bag of peanuts depending on both their production this next season 🤷🏽♂️ & Beal is on the decline.
I think they underperform in the regular season. Go on a little streak. Everyone says “they were just saving it for the playoffs”. 2nd round exit. “They lack depth, chemistry, defense etc etc”. Heard this song before
So who's the leader on that Sun's team? Durant? I think the success that they had was primarily due to Chris Paul's leadership and locker room presence. Next season, I think they will be a great regular season team and an even worst playoff team.
They literally have 5 players signed to their roster including two of the same guy with Beal and Booker and somehow their the best "team" in the nba despite the Nuggets just winning a championship with a deep team who all play different roles.
If they can win 2 games against the nuggets without Beal they can win 4 without him people are saying this because they can’t cope with the fact that whatever team you support they ain’t gonna win the chip. Ima laker fan and I’m pissed off and I’m keeping it a buck this team is winning the chip
KD has a vast history of injury and has struggled outside of GS to get over the top for a reason. One of those reasons is his physicality is a serious limitation of his. It’s why he gets injured and can’t operate as the focal point of defenses. You can knock him off his spots and off balance into lower percentage shots. He’s lethal from below the elbows, but if you cut him from that area, his stats go down a considerable amount. It’s exactly what Boston and DEN most recently did. And I know guys like SAS make y’all think KD is neck and neck with LBJ, but he’s not. The norm for most players in their mid to late 30s is to decline. For the reasons above, along with others I didn’t state such as their lack of depth and interior defense, I don't see PHX taking it next season.
I knew this was a Lebron fanatic saying this lol KD doesn’t have anything left to prove as a player, He’s one of the greatest to touch the rock. he doesn’t compare himself to Lebron so why does everyone else? It’s weird at this point What superstars are the focal point of their defenses? Lol not many outside of Giannis maybe. Hold Lebron to the same standard you hold KD to, he’s been a disappointment as well the past few years. Be realistic, They’re almost 40 & neither of them is going to carry a team all season & throughout the playoffs 😭
That’s a great question? They just added another great scorer! Who will start playing on both ends of the floor. Can the Suns stop anyone? Why they didn’t trade Ayton too? He’s the problem. Now, Ayton becomes the 4th option. He won’t be happy just rebounding for the shooters.
Once they trade him, who is going to revound and defend the rim. This was just a desperate move by a new owner that made no sense at all. He should have gone to Miami
Bridges and Cam johnson are legit good players. If they can keep them two, build a squad with solid role players. And then at some point add 1 high level all star/superstar player they would at least be a consistent east playoff team. And if they caught some lucky breaks they could look similar to the 19 raptors when Kawhi joined
For a small market team, to retain their superstars, they may have to offer no trade clauses, and other exceptions. Otherwise those players may leave so absolutely never say never.
I don't know why that question was asked to where at the end they list that it's been 10 players with it. They made it out like Beal has been the only one.
It ain't a team if it ain't a superteam. I knew KD was gonna pull off something like this. I knew it 🤣🤣🤣. But to be honest this is sad bro. You have KD, D Book, Beal and Ayton who are very, very low draft picks. Even if other team have good defenders, the Suns with be relentless in scoring will be a nightmare.
@@luvtolie On his meat for asking a question? You’re the one D riding😂😂 get his D out yah mouth. He’s not a super star. Nobody was talking about him till now🤝🏾🫠🫠🫠
Stephen A on suns before bradley beal : The suns are the favorite to win 2022-2023 nba championship Stephen A on Suns after Bradley beal: I am not sold on the Suns 🤣
Putting Booker at the Point is gonna be deadly. I remember he was averaging double digit assist in the bubble before CP got there. Plus they're gonna fill up there roster in the office season, plus Vogal to fix the defense. Definetly is gonna be interesting
@@matthewlws86 Booker has shown he can do it, and who knows w/o CP they might scheme up more ball movement. And they're definitely gonna get players in the buyout. People are making a big deal about how bad they're gonna be.
A natural two guard putting him at point I haven't seen his play making ability from that standpoint and he's a shoot first guy How is that deadly I'm not even impressed with his handles
What people forget is that they can easily play this Big 3 in many different ways. They limit offensive lulls in game which has been a big problem for this team. Paul was done and they got Beal for that asset. They aren’t done yet. Ayton is someone they could move (and should move).
People have to realize the Suns could move Booker to small forward if they wanted to be had the size. And get a veteran point to play for the minimum a lot would want to with those 3 elite all time great scorers. Plus Book showed last season he can play the one like James Harden did in Philly. Book averages more assists than Kyrie does at the one.
Denver just won with a ton of people that shoot mid range jumpers lol. That’s a myth honestly. Only the warriors have won while consistently relying on the 3
Get Dwight & Brooks, if possible convince Lou Williams about his retirement the figure out the rest of the roster. KD, Beal, Book, Ayton + any defensive player from G league
They just tried this with Brooklyn. You can't have 3 elite offensive players on the same team. Especially when you have no defense or bench. 2nd round team at best
If KD had a shorter foot they would have won a chip. The Big 3 in Brooklyn at least had the potential to work better since Kyrie and Harden can facilitate the offence. Who's gonna pass the ball on Phoenix?
The suns can win and be better. They just gotta be creative, make trades, sign n trades, signing players to cheap deals. They for sure needs too trade or sign royce, Seth curry & resign jock landale, Craig, and TJ warren. Trade ayton for ethier Myles turner and buddy heild, Mitchell Robinson and immunal quickly, Kelly oubre and mark Williams or nick Richards, or Jarrett Allen and caris levert, Clint capala and Bogdan or Malcom brodgon and Robert Williams.
Beal also has barely played in the last few years. But I will say one thing about Beal. I don't think he has the ego that will cause the sun's to have the too many scorers problem. Its not like having Kyrie and harden plus Durant. Its more like having Ray Allen next to DWade and LeBron
At this moment, this trade is basically CP3 & Shamet for Beal, Jordan Goodwin, and Isaiah Todd. I suck at counting but that's a net +1 body on the roster which in my mind is only an improvement for their depth.
If the Suns are trying to emulate the GS days with Curry/KD/Klay.... They are mistaken. The GS trio was much better due to the fact Curry was able to pull defenders to himself to create space for others. The Suns don't have that.
Lets not forget their top tier defense as well. Mike Brown manning the defensive controls while at least half of that Dubs team were above average defenders.
What Steph does is not unique, but for whatever reason other players that’s supposedly similar to him doesn’t do, and that is running around without the ball to create space or opportunities for himself. It’s also why defenders has said they hated defending Steph because he is always running around. Dame, Trae, and others, when the ball is not in their hands, they don’t move. I read a story that Atlanta traded for Murray is because they hoped Trae can play off the ball more but unfortunately Trae without the ball is like a statue.
Depends on if they trade Ayton to give their big three a scoring bench player then they have to sign the rest to veteran minimums. Even then their big 3 have to score 30 points a piece in order for them to win a few Playoff series. They had no bench and traded Shamet away, a 3 point shooting bench player.
If any of yall watched the 6 games Nuggets vs Suns then you KNOW Beal is exactly what they need. An open man that can knock down shots with ice in his veins. It doesn't matter who's creating, or who's open, Book, Durant, Beal can do both. JJ is right for once. Not saying the Suns gonna beat the Nuggets, but they'll take it to 7 for sure
The Suns will now lose against the Nuggets in 5 not 6 this time around. You got rid of a solid defender in Shamet who was a pest on Murray for Beal who plays no defense so Murray will dump 50 on them hehehe. As a Nuggets fan, I'm happy Suns made this trade.
And people acting like we gutted the bench for beal. And your right,I saw SO MANY missed wide open shots from everyone off the bench....just one or two good scoring nights from someone else could have changed that series
Actually what the Suns really needed was defense and depth. The Nuggets got whatever they wanted on offense. Jokic was seeing BBQ chicken everytime he stepped on the court against the Suns. Rather than getting another scorer, Suns needed to add 3&D guys and better defensive bigs.
You guys didn’t watch the games. The suns were often up 10+ but then they’d go for a stretch where they missed 10 straight. That’s why Book kept the ball so much and had to work so hard getting into the midrange. He couldn’t trust the open man. Him and KD were playing 43 minutes and the open man just couldn’t knock down the shots
The Suns still have Ayton for a possible trade and didn’t have to give up 1st rounders so the suns clearly won this trade and can add depth in time before the season starts.
They gave up all their first rounders for KD and now gave up all their seconds for Beal. They’re screwed if this doesn’t produce at least one championship.
Law of diminishing returns. 3 SG's shooting 50% can only do so much for your team. That said, I will tune in on Wednesday and Thursday nights to see this team play.
How though? They had spent so much money already, that waiving Chris Paul wouldn't have opened up any salary. The most they could've gotten was the Mid level exception, that's it If you're talking about a CP3 trade, which team would give up a lot of depth for a 38 year old CP3 (on a 30 million dollar contract)? This was the only real move they had
@@melvinjoseph952 I don’t think he means trading Chris he means waiving him and then going out in free agency suns just fucked their self for so many years with that trade is sad
If they won 2 games against the nuggets they can definitely win 4 with him. Especially becasue he’s literally a replacement for Shamet and they won 2 games without cp3
@@chops34 Again, they couldn't. By waiving and stretching CP3, they would've opened up the MLE and BAE (around 4 million), and that's it. There would've been no open salary space You get one decent roleplayer for the MLE if you're lucky, and you still have to fill out the rest of the roster with minimums, but now you don't have a second starting-guard.
I was gonna say just what SAS said. A Steph or a Giannis or Jokic type with super off court character who genuinely care about their city/team and just want to win are the types of guys who will potentially get no trade clauses. You gotta be supremely skilled and also supremely chill.
I dont think it was a bad trade for the suns, that suns team is going to be very hard to outscore with that offence. Though they still need to get more depth and some more defense. Beal is a stud that went from no1 to no3 he's gonna get a lot more looks and is 40 % on catch and shoot threes. This suns team definitely improved from this trade.
Their bench is a huge liability atm if they don’t make changes on that end Suns are going to be in trouble especially going against deeper teams with chemistry
From an assets standpoint, it's a huge win for the Suns as getting Beal without giving away Ayton or a 1st round pick is amazing. However from a team fit and construction standpoint, it's a disaster. At this rate Jokic will sweep them next season with either Ayton or whatever scraps his current low trade value will net them.
Depends on what version of Beal you get. If it's the 30 ppg version who almost won the scoring title then great. If it's the one who then barely averaged 20 and was injured for a bulk of games, then no. In short, I'm not sure how this makes Phoenix a title contender, but it will make them more fun to watch.
The nuggets just showed us you don’t need elite defenders you just need a good system & a lil depth because Denver only played 7-8 players anyway💯💯💯💯So the suns got drastically better
They played who in the playoffs ? Lol 😂 cmon now cut it out ..Denver one and done like the 2011 mavs ..jokic is a glorified dirk ..remember this comment
Gordon, KCP, Bruce Brown, Christian Braun are all elite individual and team defenders. Jokic, Murray, Porter are all above average defenders. They had a top clutch defense all year meaning anytime they actually needed to get stops they did including all throughout the playoffs.
the Suns arent the Nets ppl. Lets remember if Kyrie didnt get hurt and Harden wasnt playing hurt the Nets would of won a championship. They had Blake Griffin, Bruce Brown, Nic Claxton, Jeff Green, Joe Harris, and Landry Shamet. They tried to have good role players, but Joe Harris shot bad against the Bucks. The Nets had a legit team around the big 3
At first I didn't see it, to get a big three who are all shotcreators at a similar position, but JJ makes a good point about Beal being an excellent catch and shoot player when he was playing with Wall, I'm excited to see how they fit him in the offense
they going go through the grind of a 82 game season with 3 superstar players and practically no bench. one of them is going to break down come playoff time
They have a trade piece in ayton. They can get 2 good players at his salary. Kaleb Martin and Vincent are looking to get paid. They need a big that can get 9-10 rebounds and can play defense. They need a guard like pat bev to play defensive ball. Two very defensive minded wings on the beach. The rooster can easily be built out. They have someone to content with the Joker in the Denver series by just be a defensive stopper. And a point guard who understand he isn’t a scorer but a catch and shoot guy this rooster is pretty easy to build out. Best 2-4 combination in the NBA hands down.
I feel like Bradley Beal will regret choosing the Suns over the Heat, and Bucks. He had a better chance of winning a championship with those two franchises.
Part 101 - Damian Lillard ( offensive weapon ) + Jimmy Butler ( 2 way player ) + Bam Adebayo ( 2 way player ) + Caleb Martin ( coming of age player ) + Daniel Gafford ( center, freeing up Bam 💥) - Plus all those talented beach player, They keep!!! -> Super-Diode is complete for at least 4 to 6 years
As a Suns fan they messed up trading Cam and Mikal. After the KD trade they had no choice but to trade Paul with him getting hurt every season. Beal was a great pick up for what we gave up.
Can’t call the suns a contender until the fill out their roster. We saw it w the lakers and the big three kd nets. Trading ayton to the pacers for Myles turner buddy hield and some picks to flip for another player or two would work to give them depth, but they NEED depth
No one complaining about phoenix starting squad. Who is coming off the bench when these guys need to rest? Starting squad is gonna hold their own. They showed it last year. The bench will define how far this team goes.
Thank you for making this video. I am a baseball fan at heart, but I like all sports in general. I do follow the NBA during playoff time. Bradley Beal has been in the news so much lately. Hopefully, he lives up to all the hype. The Big 3 have a lot to prove next basketball season. Next year should be interesting.
I’m totally convinced that Kendrick Perkins is on ESPN, just so he can make the rest of the analysts look better, with his absolutely clueless takes. There’s no way anyone at ESPN really takes him seriously, right? I mean, come on… he even makes Mad Dog look more sane with his Bob Cousy takes, FFS.😂😂😂
Thank you for making this video. I am a baseball fan at heart, but I do like all sports generally. I do follow the NBA during playoff time. I had never heard of Bradley Beal until a few days ago. Seems like the Super 3 will score points, but do not have a defensive game. Will the Ultimate Trio be good enough to win it all?
Josh Okagie, Tory Craig, Bismack.. Solid players off the bench if Phoenix can add more depth this team looks good but they can’t rely on their star power.
They’ll be just fine. Going to have to shore up rebounding and their bench and if they can do that, Phoenix will be in the hunt to come out of the West.
I get it but let's see who they add for depth. The Suns only need rebounders/defenders/glue guys who come cheaper than high end offensive players. They can fill out their roster efficiently enough for next season.
They’re making the same mistake that Brooklyn did. Choosing stars over depth & chemistry isn’t going to win a championship
The nets actually had some depth left over after the harden trade tho. They had nic claxton, blake griffin, bruce brown, joe harris etc. The suns have nothing and not only is this big 3 worse talent wise they dont fit either. Harden made the nets work bc he played the PG role. None of these dudes are great playmakers
But if they win it all you gonna be crying how it's not fair, they have 15 superstars, KD's rings don't count bla bla bla
Thier not making a mistake kyrie ain't on the team u people always comparing situations like it matters when clearly they are all different players 😅😅😅😅😅
The nets were unbeatable and unstoppable. If not for KD big toe, they win the chip easily. Let’s stop acting like it was a failure.
Lol what depth they have a 39 year old and landry shamet LOL that’s what they gave up for an all star shut up

“Let’s make a beal “ is genius, great work ESPN creatives.
Adding Beal in the mix seems questionable to me because suns needed depth on the bench in order to reach far in the playoffs. Without strong depth on the bench, i don't see this team reach that far in the playoffs. Durant, booker and beal going to score at least 20 or more points but my concern is their defense will be tested. Them 3 will definitely be gassed on both ends of the floor.
Y'all casuals acting like we traded giannis to get beal lol who we trade that's important in THIS situation bruh?
@@nekaneka-lo2js y'all traded one of the greatest playmakers in the history of the NBA for Bradley Beal. I understand that CP3 is older but still
@@apparentlylivin nah,he got hurt at the worst times in literally EVERY SINGLE playoff run we had. Every run....
@@apparentlylivin Come on now...CP3 is not in his Prime. Did you even watch him? It makes sense to give up CP3 and get Beal. CP3 was not helping the Suns...not at this point in his career.
The Sun's get Goodwin and Todd in the deal also
The Suns have a really good trio, they’ll win a bunch of games in the regular season, postseason could be different, I know depth is important but what they had to give up for Beal was a bag of peanuts, Beal is a star
They gave up a hurt player for an even more hurt player. Cp3 has played in more games the past few seasons than Beal believe it or not. Bag of peanuts depending on both their production this next season 🤷🏽♂️ & Beal is on the decline.
I think they underperform in the regular season. Go on a little streak. Everyone says “they were just saving it for the playoffs”. 2nd round exit. “They lack depth, chemistry, defense etc etc”. Heard this song before
They gave up very little - not sure why it was so little
@@99HockeyDad99 Beal has a no trade clause. The wizards had no leverage.
The Bradley Beal of two years ago was a star. The Bradley Beal of the last two years is definitely not a star.
“It’s aight it’s aight”😂
So who's the leader on that Sun's team? Durant? I think the success that they had was primarily due to Chris Paul's leadership and locker room presence. Next season, I think they will be a great regular season team and an even worst playoff team.
Monty Williams was big for changing that culture too, with him and CP3 gone they gon struggle
Your right! Chris Paul was the beating 💓 of this team. They still could have benefited from him being a 6th man 👨.
They literally have 5 players signed to their roster including two of the same guy with Beal and Booker and somehow their the best "team" in the nba despite the Nuggets just winning a championship with a deep team who all play different roles.
If they can win 2 games against the nuggets without Beal they can win 4 without him people are saying this because they can’t cope with the fact that whatever team you support they ain’t gonna win the chip. Ima laker fan and I’m pissed off and I’m keeping it a buck this team is winning the chip
The best team doesn't always win the chip
KD has a vast history of injury and has struggled outside of GS to get over the top for a reason. One of those reasons is his physicality is a serious limitation of his. It’s why he gets injured and can’t operate as the focal point of defenses. You can knock him off his spots and off balance into lower percentage shots. He’s lethal from below the elbows, but if you cut him from that area, his stats go down a considerable amount. It’s exactly what Boston and DEN most recently did. And I know guys like SAS make y’all think KD is neck and neck with LBJ, but he’s not. The norm for most players in their mid to late 30s is to decline. For the reasons above, along with others I didn’t state such as their lack of depth and interior defense, I don't see PHX taking it next season.
On top of that they added a buy in Beal who misses alot of games,suns due to injuries won't even finish top 4 seed and most likely get bounced in 2nd
well said!!
Yeah, the Suns are going to score a lot of points and will get to the playoffs barring injuries, but a trip to the NBA Finals, I wouldn’t bet on that.
Or cause he tore his Achilles
I knew this was a Lebron fanatic saying this lol KD doesn’t have anything left to prove as a player, He’s one of the greatest to touch the rock. he doesn’t compare himself to Lebron so why does everyone else? It’s weird at this point What superstars are the focal point of their defenses? Lol not many outside of Giannis maybe. Hold Lebron to the same standard you hold KD to, he’s been a disappointment as well the past few years. Be realistic, They’re almost 40 & neither of them is going to carry a team all season & throughout the playoffs 😭
That’s a great question? They just added another great scorer! Who will start playing on both ends of the floor. Can the Suns stop anyone? Why they didn’t trade Ayton too? He’s the problem. Now, Ayton becomes the 4th option. He won’t be happy just rebounding for the shooters.
Once they trade him, who is going to revound and defend the rim. This was just a desperate move by a new owner that made no sense at all. He should have gone to Miami
@@lilraider22 he’s not elite at defending the rim or rebounding. They’d be upgrading 😂
@@ishyameru6232 he's the biggest body they have. KD isn't going to get on the block to get rebounds. Who are they doing to get?
@@lilraider22 KD too fragile to be on the block.
@Vincent Salamatino it was a typo, I meant to write isn't going to be on the block. He's goof for 50 - 60 games at most.
4:02 You’ll let him do what? AYO!! 😂😂😂
It's funny how Stephen A. references defense. Yet when they are saying someone is the "best player" they only talk about scoring 🤔🤔
6:08 Did Brian Windhorst just shout out The Game Theorists? 😂
Brooklyn is a curious team. I reckon if they get a good offseason camp together they’ll do well going forward.
Lol
Bridges and Cam johnson are legit good players. If they can keep them two, build a squad with solid role players. And then at some point add 1 high level all star/superstar player they would at least be a consistent east playoff team. And if they caught some lucky breaks they could look similar to the 19 raptors when Kawhi joined
For a small market team, to retain their superstars, they may have to offer no trade clauses, and other exceptions. Otherwise those players may leave so absolutely never say never.
I don't know why that question was asked to where at the end they list that it's been 10 players with it. They made it out like Beal has been the only one.
The only right about Perks is He being WRONG all the time.. just sayin
a broken watch is right twice a day.
Carry on 😂😂
Suns fan: "We're gonna win the chip"
Nets fan: "Let me tell you a story about kyrie, harden, and kd"
The Suns need depth on the bench
Unless they’re willing to pay that hefty luxury tax they’re gonna get bargain bin players.

They’ll trade ayton and get that
@@BigDilf3 bingo
They gonna have beal on the bench
It ain't a team if it ain't a superteam. I knew KD was gonna pull off something like this. I knew it 🤣🤣🤣. But to be honest this is sad bro. You have KD, D Book, Beal and Ayton who are very, very low draft picks. Even if other team have good defenders, the Suns with be relentless in scoring will be a nightmare.
Beal ain’t a superstar so how is this a superteam?

Stephen A on suns before bradley beal :
The suns are the favorite to win 2022-2023 nba championship
Stephen A on Suns after Bradley beal:
I am not sold on the Suns 🤣
Putting Booker at the Point is gonna be deadly. I remember he was averaging double digit assist in the bubble before CP got there. Plus they're gonna fill up there roster in the office season, plus Vogal to fix the defense. Definetly is gonna be interesting
They have less than 10 million to fill out the roster so who’s gonna go there for little to no money who can actually play defense.
They’re gonna suck
They need a legit pg
@@matthewlws86 Booker has shown he can do it, and who knows w/o CP they might scheme up more ball movement. And they're definitely gonna get players in the buyout. People are making a big deal about how bad they're gonna be.
A natural two guard putting him at point I haven't seen his play making ability from that standpoint and he's a shoot first guy How is that deadly I'm not even impressed with his handles
What people forget is that they can easily play this Big 3 in many different ways. They limit offensive lulls in game which has been a big problem for this team. Paul was done and they got Beal for that asset. They aren’t done yet. Ayton is someone they could move (and should move).
Soon as they trade him definitely done for still going to lack size and they don't use him properly.
@@damianpresha9833 new coach
@@willayb5698 Frank Vogel knows how to use him he coached against them 2021. Besides he will hire a offensive coach to help with half court sets.
According to Woj both teams are now reconsidering after hearing Stephen A isn’t sold on it. They’ve agreed to go back to the drawing table.
People have to realize the Suns could move Booker to small forward if they wanted to be had the size. And get a veteran point to play for the minimum a lot would want to with those 3 elite all time great scorers. Plus Book showed last season he can play the one like James Harden did in Philly. Book averages more assists than Kyrie does at the one.
Windhorst holds the world record for most blinks in a minute when he isn't talking. He is the Wilt Chamberlain of blinking.
My problem with this team is the shot profile,they are gonna shoot too many mid range jumpers imo which will be hard to win with in the modern NBA.
KD will shoot more 3, same for Beal
Denver just won with a ton of people that shoot mid range jumpers lol. That’s a myth honestly. Only the warriors have won while consistently relying on the 3
Frank Vogel is gonna have to get creative offensively if they’re gonna have a chance to win
That era is starting to die now people realize shooting 3s doesn't always win you titles gs was an anomaly
They don’t have a point guard 😂
Get Dwight & Brooks, if possible convince Lou Williams about his retirement the figure out the rest of the roster.
KD, Beal, Book, Ayton + any defensive player from G league
I'm shocked the wizards didn't ask for ayton in the trade
They didn’t like his contract
“Who you gonna stop?” Exactly.
Everybody love Bradley Beal now nobody was talking about him a month ago
EXACTLY
JJ is on point with the full Beal take!
They just tried this with Brooklyn. You can't have 3 elite offensive players on the same team. Especially when you have no defense or bench. 2nd round team at best
But but but shiny new toys!
-Most NBA owners
If KD had a shorter foot they would have won a chip. The Big 3 in Brooklyn at least had the potential to work better since Kyrie and Harden can facilitate the offence. Who's gonna pass the ball on Phoenix?
The suns can win and be better. They just gotta be creative, make trades, sign n trades, signing players to cheap deals. They for sure needs too trade or sign royce, Seth curry & resign jock landale, Craig, and TJ warren. Trade ayton for ethier Myles turner and buddy heild, Mitchell Robinson and immunal quickly, Kelly oubre and mark Williams or nick Richards, or Jarrett Allen and caris levert, Clint capala and Bogdan or Malcom brodgon and Robert Williams.
Beal also has barely played in the last few years. But I will say one thing about Beal. I don't think he has the ego that will cause the sun's to have the too many scorers problem. Its not like having Kyrie and harden plus Durant. Its more like having Ray Allen next to DWade and LeBron
Here we go another crazy KD fan thinking he gonna save them with jumpshots
@@jordancole7681😂😂
JJ be using his facts‼️
They need Dwight Howard and Javale Mcgee for bigs
They needed myles turner ...
At this moment, this trade is basically CP3 & Shamet for Beal, Jordan Goodwin, and Isaiah Todd.
I suck at counting but that's a net +1 body on the roster which in my mind is only an improvement for their depth.
If the Suns are trying to emulate the GS days with Curry/KD/Klay.... They are mistaken. The GS trio was much better due to the fact Curry was able to pull defenders to himself to create space for others. The Suns don't have that.
They also had Draymond and iguodala Sun's going to learn the hard way
Lets not forget their top tier defense as well. Mike Brown manning the defensive controls while at least half of that Dubs team were above average defenders.
What Steph does is not unique, but for whatever reason other players that’s supposedly similar to him doesn’t do, and that is running around without the ball to create space or opportunities for himself. It’s also why defenders has said they hated defending Steph because he is always running around. Dame, Trae, and others, when the ball is not in their hands, they don’t move. I read a story that Atlanta traded for Murray is because they hoped Trae can play off the ball more but unfortunately Trae without the ball is like a statue.
Idk how long y’all been doing long clips like this but thank you lol
They ain’t got no bench or defence jokic is going to cook them 😂😂😂
Lmao yea ok
Depends on if they trade Ayton to give their big three a scoring bench player then they have to sign the rest to veteran minimums. Even then their big 3 have to score 30 points a piece in order for them to win a few Playoff series. They had no bench and traded Shamet away, a 3 point shooting bench player.
If any of yall watched the 6 games Nuggets vs Suns then you KNOW Beal is exactly what they need. An open man that can knock down shots with ice in his veins. It doesn't matter who's creating, or who's open, Book, Durant, Beal can do both. JJ is right for once. Not saying the Suns gonna beat the Nuggets, but they'll take it to 7 for sure
The Suns will now lose against the Nuggets in 5 not 6 this time around. You got rid of a solid defender in Shamet who was a pest on Murray for Beal who plays no defense so Murray will dump 50 on them hehehe. As a Nuggets fan, I'm happy Suns made this trade.
And people acting like we gutted the bench for beal. And your right,I saw SO MANY missed wide open shots from everyone off the bench....just one or two good scoring nights from someone else could have changed that series
Actually what the Suns really needed was defense and depth. The Nuggets got whatever they wanted on offense. Jokic was seeing BBQ chicken everytime he stepped on the court against the Suns. Rather than getting another scorer, Suns needed to add 3&D guys and better defensive bigs.
You guys didn’t watch the games. The suns were often up 10+ but then they’d go for a stretch where they missed 10 straight. That’s why Book kept the ball so much and had to work so hard getting into the midrange. He couldn’t trust the open man. Him and KD were playing 43 minutes and the open man just couldn’t knock down the shots
@@Primitive_Code”Shamet who was a pest on Murray” LMFAOOO
You definitely didn’t watch he was getting COOKED
0:54 Funny how KD called Bradley Beal a HOFer
The Suns still have Ayton for a possible trade and didn’t have to give up 1st rounders so the suns clearly won this trade and can add depth in time before the season starts.
They have no first rounders
Exactly 💯
Yeah but they need a center
They gave up all their first rounders for KD and now gave up all their seconds for Beal. They’re screwed if this doesn’t produce at least one championship.
@@kvincarter even if does produce a championship, theyre screwed. phx about to be the laughing stock of NBA this whole decade
This is going to look exactly like the the all star game-raining threes, no defense.
The suns seriously need to think about the direction they want to go in, they have had not one but two chances to when a title and messed up twice.
Law of diminishing returns. 3 SG's shooting 50% can only do so much for your team.
That said, I will tune in on Wednesday and Thursday nights to see this team play.
Phoenix could have grabbed so much depth for the price of a Bradley Beal. I just don’t believe in them, but I’m sure they’ll create some noise.
Could’ve got Chris gone for some petty picks role player or 2 and then went out and got vanvleet for that 1 spot
How though? They had spent so much money already, that waiving Chris Paul wouldn't have opened up any salary. The most they could've gotten was the Mid level exception, that's it
If you're talking about a CP3 trade, which team would give up a lot of depth for a 38 year old CP3 (on a 30 million dollar contract)?
This was the only real move they had
@@melvinjoseph952 I don’t think he means trading Chris he means waiving him and then going out in free agency suns just fucked their self for so many years with that trade is sad
If they won 2 games against the nuggets they can definitely win 4 with him. Especially becasue he’s literally a replacement for Shamet and they won 2 games without cp3
@@chops34 Again, they couldn't. By waiving and stretching CP3, they would've opened up the MLE and BAE (around 4 million), and that's it. There would've been no open salary space
You get one decent roleplayer for the MLE if you're lucky, and you still have to fill out the rest of the roster with minimums, but now you don't have a second starting-guard.
I was gonna say just what SAS said. A Steph or a Giannis or Jokic type with super off court character who genuinely care about their city/team and just want to win are the types of guys who will potentially get no trade clauses. You gotta be supremely skilled and also supremely chill.
I dont think it was a bad trade for the suns, that suns team is going to be very hard to outscore with that offence. Though they still need to get more depth and some more defense. Beal is a stud that went from no1 to no3 he's gonna get a lot more looks and is 40 % on catch and shoot threes. This suns team definitely improved from this trade.
Lmao this isnt 2k. There's only 1 ball to go around and none of these guys are great playmakers. You need depth and defense to win in the playoffs
Their bench is a huge liability atm if they don’t make changes on that end Suns are going to be in trouble especially going against deeper teams with chemistry
Ya and they'll be top 5 in most points given up too. Clippers averaged 114 points and Nuggets averaged 119 on them.
Not going to get past Denver so what was this move about.
From an assets standpoint, it's a huge win for the Suns as getting Beal without giving away Ayton or a 1st round pick is amazing. However from a team fit and construction standpoint, it's a disaster. At this rate Jokic will sweep them next season with either Ayton or whatever scraps his current low trade value will net them.
Depends on what version of Beal you get. If it's the 30 ppg version who almost won the scoring title then great. If it's the one who then barely averaged 20 and was injured for a bulk of games, then no. In short, I'm not sure how this makes Phoenix a title contender, but it will make them more fun to watch.
The nuggets just showed us you don’t need elite defenders you just need a good system & a lil depth because Denver only played 7-8 players anyway💯💯💯💯So the suns got drastically better
Yeah, what do they think, Denver is just gonna go away. I don't think so. I'm not sold on Phoenix.
Denver still played good team defense though
The Suns got no pg and no depth at all. Besides they are injury prone as well. Denver still better than them tho😅😅😅😂
They played who in the playoffs ? Lol 😂 cmon now cut it out ..Denver one and done like the 2011 mavs ..jokic is a glorified dirk ..remember this comment
Gordon, KCP, Bruce Brown, Christian Braun are all elite individual and team defenders. Jokic, Murray, Porter are all above average defenders. They had a top clutch defense all year meaning anytime they actually needed to get stops they did including all throughout the playoffs.
We understand how special Kevin Booker is!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
KD a top 25 player all time! NOT top 15!
I don’t care who’s on that team nobody can make Ayton play like he should. 2nd round EXIT
Perk and stephen a switched bodies on this one😂😂😂
the Suns arent the Nets ppl. Lets remember if Kyrie didnt get hurt and Harden wasnt playing hurt the Nets would of won a championship. They had Blake Griffin, Bruce Brown, Nic Claxton, Jeff Green, Joe Harris, and Landry Shamet. They tried to have good role players, but Joe Harris shot bad against the Bucks. The Nets had a legit team around the big 3
At first I didn't see it, to get a big three who are all shotcreators at a similar position, but JJ makes a good point about Beal being an excellent catch and shoot player when he was playing with Wall, I'm excited to see how they fit him in the offense
If I'm them I trade ayton for Steven Adams and a wing defender.
they going go through the grind of a 82 game season with 3 superstar players and practically no bench. one of them is going to break down come playoff time
JJ on point once again
They have a trade piece in ayton. They can get 2 good players at his salary. Kaleb Martin and Vincent are looking to get paid.
They need a big that can get 9-10 rebounds and can play defense.
They need a guard like pat bev to play defensive ball. Two very defensive minded wings on the beach.
The rooster can easily be built out. They have someone to content with the Joker in the Denver series by just be a defensive stopper.
And a point guard who understand he isn’t a scorer but a catch and shoot guy this rooster is pretty easy to build out.
Best 2-4 combination in the NBA hands down.
Could anybody explain what's a no trade clause???
I love Stephen a smith he speaks facts
Sometimes..
I simply do not like Blockbuster trades. This can backfire and are not worth it. It can cause problems in the long term.
I feel like Bradley Beal will regret choosing the Suns over the Heat, and Bucks. He had a better chance of winning a championship with those two franchises.
Part 101 - Damian Lillard ( offensive weapon ) + Jimmy Butler ( 2 way player ) + Bam Adebayo ( 2 way player ) + Caleb Martin ( coming of age player ) + Daniel Gafford ( center, freeing up Bam 💥) - Plus all those talented beach player, They keep!!! -> Super-Diode is complete for at least 4 to 6 years
As a Suns fan they messed up trading Cam and Mikal. After the KD trade they had no choice but to trade Paul with him getting hurt every season. Beal was a great pick up for what we gave up.
No Depth no defense. This is the situation with Brooklyn with KD Kyrie and harden except they actually had a better bench
Jj REDICK knows what he talkings about
All this to beat Jokic. A dude that plays in the nba for a part time job 😂😂😂
Can’t call the suns a contender until the fill out their roster. We saw it w the lakers and the big three kd nets. Trading ayton to the pacers for Myles turner buddy hield and some picks to flip for another player or two would work to give them depth, but they NEED depth
*buddy hield would require a sign and trade tho I’m pretty sure
No one complaining about phoenix starting squad. Who is coming off the bench when these guys need to rest? Starting squad is gonna hold their own. They showed it last year. The bench will define how far this team goes.
Does this team have a starting line up?
Thank you for making this video. I am a baseball fan at heart, but I like all sports in general. I do follow the NBA during playoff time. Bradley Beal has been in the news so much lately. Hopefully, he lives up to all the hype. The Big 3 have a lot to prove next basketball season. Next year should be interesting.
He’s always in the talks for trades, there was just finally a big enough push
I’m totally convinced that Kendrick Perkins is on ESPN, just so he can make the rest of the analysts look better, with his absolutely clueless takes.
There’s no way anyone at ESPN really takes him seriously, right?
I mean, come on… he even makes Mad Dog look more sane with his Bob Cousy takes, FFS.😂😂😂
Perk and windy only there for eating and creating an extra neck
Thank you for making this video. I am a baseball fan at heart, but I do like all sports generally. I do follow the NBA during playoff time. I had never heard of Bradley Beal until a few days ago. Seems like the Super 3 will score points, but do not have a defensive game. Will the Ultimate Trio be good enough to win it all?
“When kd is healthy he’s that dude” just got smacked out of the playoffs 2 years in a row.. and the sweep by Boston was embarrassing
Josh Okagie, Tory Craig, Bismack.. Solid players off the bench if Phoenix can add more depth this team looks good but they can’t rely on their star power.
They’ll be just fine. Going to have to shore up rebounding and their bench and if they can do that, Phoenix will be in the hunt to come out of the West.
I like JJ as an analyst
Big 3 only works when quality role players on the team are willing to take veteran min for the prospects of a championship.
Everyone's still following in the 2012 Miami Heat blueprint with super teams. However Miami had a decent supporting cast
The Suns needed size for rebounding and help off the bench. Bradley Beal is another Devin Booker - who is one fantastic player.
I would most definitely pick up Dwight Howard
The rare first take where all three of them agree.
They have negative defense. Ayton being the best defender on your roster is FOUL
I get it but let's see who they add for depth. The Suns only need rebounders/defenders/glue guys who come cheaper than high end offensive players. They can fill out their roster efficiently enough for next season.
