sounds like bickley said kd hasn't been a good influence or some ish like that - i didn't hear the show but kd apparently took exception to it - kd deleted a bunch of tweets today too - mostly him arguing with irritated fans and twitter trolls

I heard it… was the usual “Booker’s attitude and poor play is KD’s fault” bloviating we’ve seen here multiple times.

KD does this all the time. Someone will say something about him and he’ll tweet something but leave enough time until he deletes it to get his followers riled up. It’s basically his formula to control narratives.

Also, he 'doesn't care' what any of these people thinks or about his legacy... but if you say something he disagrees with he might take a few hours out of his day to argue about it.

The local media goes at everyone, no one is excluded. KD throws a tantrum to keep them from going at him though and claims it's unjust. That's why some guys like Eddie House don't even bother.

The local media is right about a lot and wrong a lot as well. They have a lot of hours to fill each week. It's virtually never personal. The last personal beef I recall was Gambo and the Morrii. To Gambo's credit he never hid that fact.

Whether anyone believes KD deserves all the blame or some of the blame, it's unreasonable to say he deserves none. This team paid a premium for him and has regressed annually. That's

He is def a Grade-A social media beeyatch.

I can't take stats like this seriously when I see some of the names listed. Kyle Kuzma is a doormat, easily one of the worst defenders in the league. He is in the negatives in win shares and value over replacement player, his defensive splits are awful. Even if it is just the "last 10 games", his stats with the Bucks are just as putrid as he was in Washington, and there is no way he is averaging 10 contests a game.

Goga plays 20 minutes a game and I am supposed to believe he has contested 100 shots in his last 10 games? Is he omnipresent or something?

More trashing on Kuzma though... good lord is he terrible. His splits the last 3 years are in the Beasley zone. He's bad at everything but he is particularly terrible at shooting and he LOVES to shoot.

I face a hypothetical dilemma. The Suns probably won't make the playoffs, much less win anything; but if they did, would I want them to? Would I feel pleased? No, not really. It would seem to be rewarding them for their regular season. I'm too ashamed of them to want that,

KD can complain however much he wants, Booker is a worse player since he came here - and he's not just worse in terms of efficiency, he is worse in terms of his desire to win - and KD can like it or not he comes off as someone who doesn't care much about winning so people saying he is influencing Book is the logical conclusion.

They aren't making the playoffs so you don't have to worry about it.

I don't think it's a formula at all. He is being real, he just lives in his own world where he thinks his great shot making makes up for all his other flaws as a player. It's human nature, we don't want to see our own faults.

channel 3 said suns are having a buy one get one free tickets for upcoming games - not just against other scrub teams - they mentioned boston

 

[leclerc]

25 games remaining on the schedule if I counted correctly. That's a painfully long time. Will all our 50 million+ stars stay healthy for the duration?

They also said they had $101 lower bowl tickets and when I looked for the Timberwolves game, none were to be had.

Gambo said on KOC’s pod that before Mat Ishbia the Suns were willing to trade EITHER Cam and Mikal for KD or all the picks, but not both. Then Mat took over and immediately traded all of it.

I thought that was pretty obvious. James Jones had been working the deal for months and then Mat Ishbia took over and BOOM, the deal was done and we gave away everything.
