What is going on..

I want peanut butter and real maple syrup on my waffles, plus some hot coffee.

oneale has been a godsend - both his play and mentorship - not to mention durability

He is nothing without Durant and Beal same as Booker. Booker has to be the worst max player in the league. Sorry truth hurts

If you are looking at the top NBA player salaries, I attached a link to a list below.

The Suns have three in the top seven: Durant, Beal and Booker.

I wouldn't say Booker is the worst off this list.

LaVine, VanVleet, Lamelo, Ben Simmons, and Trae Young are all guards on max deals worse than Booker. That's 5 off the top of my head and I know I could find 5 more if I cared to look.

The Suns would have a lot of takers if they traded Booker. As an example, I bet the Bucks would trade Lillard for Booker in a millisecond.

I’d take Lamelo any of the week

LavVine and Vanfleet are Booker

 

[Hoop Head]

I’d take Lamelo any of the week

Are you a physical therapist or orthopedic surgeon? Then that would make sense. You could damn near create generational wealth if Lamelo was your patient.

Like Booker is made of bricks

Booker needs to be resting as much as Durant or Beal. He prides himself as being an Iron Man, but I think he is hurting.

I previously gave my ideas about resting him prior to the Lakers game on November 26th.

Edit: Note the break in action before the Lakers game.
