If this team could somehow get Reeves/Knecht and a couple draft picks, I’d be happy with that return for KD. Then send Booker to Houston for all of our picks back and one of their promising young players and the rebuild and youth movement could begin anew.

With that group, after seeing how Bud built young Hawks/Bucks squads, I’d give him a little more time.
I am hoping to net more in return for KD so that anything you do with Book is more of a bonus but I guess we will see soon what the market for him is. I am hoping it's decent because if it is? That will be a much different look when we look back at the trade. It could be a bad market though. We don't know.

Lakers aren’t giving up Reaves anytime soon, much less for Durant

The Suns are a great team this year when Bradley Beal isn’t on the court:
116.2 OffRtg (7th)
112.5 DefRtg (12th)
+3.7 NetRtg (9th)
Phoenix also holds a 10-3 record, a 63-win pace, when Kevin Durant and Devin Booker play together without Beal.

it all starts with the humble 3 - or should i say the hungry 3 - no crazy contracts - no shoe deals - just whatever it is that makes someone play their best - to try their hardest - same with rock bands and rappers - the first couple/few albums are going to be the realest - bud squandered a huge opportunity or should i say 4 of them (bol bol included) all season long - we don't have draft picks but dunn and oso are a decent place to start

the hell did we just witness? have we finally figured something out? are the gauchos too green to be effected by book's and kd's greatness? because they just play basketball - sure they defer but they also carpe diem

everybody else was just going thru the motions but not the gauchos - they've kinda changed everything bud... (there's always a bud) will bud mess with the line up when greyson beal richards and plum return?

I've been wondering the same thing but I just don't know. Was it the lack of scouting information/focus on our young guys? Was it Cleveland falling asleep against a lesser opponent? Or was it just an off night for them and an on night for us? I suspect it's mostly the scouting and Cleveland underrating us but I'm hoping it's at least partially due to the coaching staff finally playing the right players.
