WTF is ESPN doing? They lost Woj and now decided to fire Lowe? Their basketball coverage was finally improving and moving in a good direction for the first time in a decade or so, since Chad Ford and Hollinger left around when Bill Simmons started getting high on his own farts before leaving also.
Isn’t that true of any move though that doesn’t turn out to be successful?!?
Also, Bridges was going to be included in any trade for a star.
We will have to disagree because there is practically zero shot of getting the player you need without including Bridges.I disagree with the premise Mikal Bridges had to be traded, but I prefer we move on to other topics.
The Suns didn't trade as much value for 3× NBA All-Star Bradley Beal. Yes, I no Beal has a no trade clause, but there will always be something.
man... you're making a lot of specious arguments that continually leaves a ton of context out. We didn't have to give up much for Beal because of his no-trade clause. The Wiz were DYING to get rid of him because he hasn't shown the 3X All-Star form in years, is chronically injured and has one of the worst contracts in the NBA.I disagree with the premise Mikal Bridges had to be traded, but I prefer we move on to other topics.

But again... you know all of those things so why make such a specious argument in the first place?
If it is what happened at the end of the day, then evidently that was a component to getting the deal done. I know you like Bridges, but NJ said this is what we want, Ishbia said yes, and the deal was done. At the end of the day Ishbia had to decide if keeping Bridges was greater than getting KD. He felt it was better to get KD. We all can argue what would have been better, what we should have done, etc., it's not what happened. Bottom line is we have a Suns team that is frustrating in that we haven't won a title. Iu is still one of the better teams in the NBA. It's WAY better than what we had for Booker's formative years. According to Ishbia, and to paraphrase someone famous, "We aren't going back."I disagree with the premise Mikal Bridges had to be traded, but I prefer we move on to other topics.
