The narrative around Bradley Beal not willing to be traded to the right situation is reportedly false.

Beal doesn't realize that no one wants him, his contract, and ntc.

The Suns wanted Beal.

What I'm reading is Beal might be receptive to a trade if it were the right situation. He isn't the one demanding to be traded.

The size of his contract may be the largest hindrance to getting a trade done.

The Pelicans are trading Daniel Theis to OKC.

He would have to be deaf, dumb, and blind not to. All the NBA media has talked about for the last 3 weeks is how much the Suns want to ditch him and how nobody wants to take him.

This is what Gambo was reporting 20 minutes ago. Kevin Durant wants to stay in Phoenix.

Is it just me or is he often lazy on D and we end up 4 on 5 with a wide open dunk at the rim or a wide open shot from 3?

Not just you. KD admitted last year he avoids guys who seek contact, that's how he stays healthy. He phrased it as he avoids players who fall down and play recklessly but if you watch Suns games it's easy to see how he avoids contact.

I wouldn't single just KD out as being lazy on D, the whole team is a step slow and botch rotations all the time. Book, for all his improvements on team USA, routinely is a step too far out and late on closeouts giving up open 3s. To a certain extent I can excuse KD from a bit of that. What is way more hurtful IMO is the constant turnovers on offense. Routinely gives up pick 6's and/or risky passes that have zero chance of succeeding.

When is it our turn?

beal wants to stay - kd wants to stay - book definitely wants to stay - everybody wants to stay - and get their ass kicked
I hope not. But that was funny about everybody wants to stay & get their ass kicked. Including Butler too? Are we out of the lottery running for Copper Flagg yet?
Sunday gotta regroup & get on a win streak. Go Suns!!!
