Kd has always been a impactful defender and underrated one. Im glad you are aware of how good kd was in 2023 in Brooklyn. When he keft they dropped from a top 5 defense to a bottom 10. They were #1 and 2 for December and November i believe. Kd and Claxton were so fun to watch that season. Which is why i wanted him on the suns with kd In my opinion KD should have made 3-4 defensive teams but defense is mostly reputation that you build early in your career and KD just doesn't have it. I would say he's 10 years into being one of the 5-7 most most versatile defenders in the league and top 7-20 for basically all that time.
@KMM5821 I thought he should have made in his 2 years in golden state and the last 2 seasons. Not sure why he didn't make it golden state when he even made it in the top 10 of DPOY and was even higher before he had a small injury stretch.
@@boochtron did you watch him last year y'all praise these so called defenders who are reputational based because you can't the last time they played great defense like Mikal bridges
Just for the record, the “Todayyyy!!” Brendon does MAKES the show, wakes us morning listeners up and prepares us for a great pod! I suggest Ben trains to do it exactly like him! Pitch must be the same 😂
it hurts me so i always skip the first 30 seconds (edit) FYI: i was not the guy complaining in the comments, love the pod brendon and my dad and i always laugh at the “TODAYY”. fuck that other dude
Great podcast Brendon and Benjamin anytime you have generational players like KD you do everything you can to win a Championship. I think a good athletic wing or big is the missing piece to push them over.👏🏀
Ben saying nobody in the west scares him says more about his delusions than it does about the West. If you know ball, the Thunder and Mavs should scare you. Both teams are juggernauts and would be heavy favorites in a 7 game series with the suns.
Not sure the Mavs are "juggernauts", I mean look at the record. However they are better than the Suns. Thunder... yeah they're awesome. Not much needs to be said there lol
mavs don’t “scare “ me. thunder do, celtics do. nobody else in the league does for me personally. not saying we would beat every other team but if we played the thunder or celtics i’d have low expectations
@@jrob830Luka missed all of training camp and was out of shape. Plus the mavs had a lot of turnover and it takes time for new players to fit a new system/team. If you haven’t payed attention to them lately, they have figured all of that out to say the least, Don’t let those early wins fool you. they’re juggernauts.
Even with KD on the court, they've been scraping through thanks to his and Booker's clutch 4th qrtr performances. I'd be much more confident if they get Butler to replace Beal.
THIS MY OPINION ON WHAT I SEE WHEN IT COMES TO OKC AND BOSTON SUNS HAVE BIG PROBLEMS BUT HEY I DONT NO ANYTHING EVER BODY ELSE I BELIEVE THEY CAN FIGURE IT OUT
As a KD fan,plz don't count out the Okc thunder.They play for each other,on both ends of the ball,and most importantly they're hungry.If they can get one solid player for their bench,someone that could potentially give them 20pts a night ,they'll be the last team standing!!!!🎉#Sunsfan
@ I only see Beal waiving his no trade clause if it’s to a contending team. The only logical team is the Heat for Jimmy and Josh Richardson to make it financially possible. For the Heat it doesn’t make much sense to take on Beal and his salary + no trade clause. Especially since Tyler herro is already having a “breakout” year. Maybe with a first rounder the Heat could say yes
Brendon is annoying, trying to shame Benjamin for saying okc aren’t scary, okc are nothing, as a roster there pretty much identical but add Caruso lol. Nicky picky stiff like this where his annoying. Benjamin should be host man, Brendon drags so much when he talks
@@Jfsgknddid you watch the in season tournament final lol. You need 2 stars to win in this league, hence the okc choke job last playoffs as a 1 seed losing to a 5 seed and this in season final. They are nothing
This suns team is clearly not a championship contender. Durant is old and we have no assets. What are we doing other than wasting time. We need to fully rebuild. Trade with Houston and get our picks back.

Like last year he should have made it

Stop glazing. KD has been an inconsistent defender his entire career except when he was in Golden state.
@@boochtronhorrible take 😂
@@boochtron did you watch him last year y'all praise these so called defenders who are reputational based because you can't the last time they played great defense like Mikal bridges
As we’ve seen all year, if KD is healthy - the sky is the limit, BUT when he goes down this team struggles against anyone.
Just for the record, the “Todayyyy!!” Brendon does MAKES the show, wakes us morning listeners up and prepares us for a great pod! I suggest Ben trains to do it exactly like him! Pitch must be the same 😂
Trash bro
Might as well start off by saying BYE
it hurts me so i always skip the first 30 seconds

@@3LEV888the cry baby is still here 😂😂😂
I literally was just going to say the way you start the podcast is my favorite part !! It's great!
Every day'er guys. You're fine. Show is great.

They need to trade Allen for DFS
It’s simple when KD is out play BOL .
Ben saying nobody in the west scares him says more about his delusions than it does about the West. If you know ball, the Thunder and Mavs should scare you. Both teams are juggernauts and would be heavy favorites in a 7 game series with the suns.
The current suns will be swept against any of those 2 teams. Sadly.
Not sure the Mavs are "juggernauts", I mean look at the record. However they are better than the Suns. Thunder... yeah they're awesome. Not much needs to be said there lol
We beat Dallas already this year when both teams were healthy. Okc may be the only issue in my opinion.

1e seed before kd injury, yes they can but alot stuff needs to change. they need to do somethin with beal deal and fast.
Tough decision because if you resign KD and Ishbia will do everything he can to extend him You have KD for at least 3 years after this one.🏀🙏
Keep the Todaaaay!
Even with KD on the court, they've been scraping through thanks to his and Booker's clutch 4th qrtr performances. I'd be much more confident if they get Butler to replace Beal.
This is the 4th podcast from the 4th team that says they aren’t scared of the rest of the west. Clearly a lot of fan bases are in denial.
THIS MY OPINION ON WHAT I SEE WHEN IT COMES TO OKC AND BOSTON SUNS HAVE BIG PROBLEMS BUT HEY I DONT NO ANYTHING EVER BODY ELSE I BELIEVE THEY CAN FIGURE IT OUT
“TODAAAAAY!!!”…. Heyyy ☹️ don’t say that it ruins my day waaaaaa waaaa 😭🍼👶

Players giving 20 points are rarely on the bench.
today lol
Ishbia already went all in last season. Just has not worked out so far like he wanted wanted
TODAY!
The longer you drag this out the longer the rebuild will be…
Short answer: No.
Long answer: well, you know the joke I guess.
Not if you go 1-9 without him.
2nd round is a realistic goal and conference finals is already overachieving
Suns need to trade okogie and Nurkic for Kessler and sexton and a pick. As well as trade Allen for Dorian Finney Smith in my honest opinion
@@VinnieRodrigues0 about beal open his contract n go away, thn yes Dorian Finney Smith and 2 more
@ I only see Beal waiving his no trade clause if it’s to a contending team. The only logical team is the Heat for Jimmy and Josh Richardson to make it financially possible.

You’re just as delusional as Ben lol

Obama Hope 😂
Thunder would sweep us. The most physical team in the West and we might have the softest superstars. Wake up.
No
This suns team is clearly not a championship contender. Durant is old and we have no assets. What are we doing other than wasting time. We need to fully rebuild. Trade with Houston and get our picks back.
No...they're not good enough
