Book's infamous "why you doubling in pickup?" is telling to his character imo

2024-04-29 07:52:12 +0000 UTCMaybe it's because he's a white dude who plays a completely different position than what I thought we clearly needed most... but the Pearsall pick reminds me so much of the Podziemski pick. If it works out as well as it did with Podz, we'll be in good shape. Also, I'm clearly saying this in hindsight, but BA and Deebo are staying put this year. Deebo is probably gone after, but makes no sense to trade either of them now, and makes a ton of sense to run it back for one last year with that receiving corps.

2024-04-29 00:36:20 +0000 UTCI don't think any team is messing with KD unless it's for a significant discount. He's not impacting the game at a high enough level to warrant trading all your major assets for him, which is what the Suns would want.

2024-04-28 15:36:43 +0000 UTCThat’s a good question KAT for KD? Idk maybe NY
Athletic Alchemy
2024-04-28 15:35:32 +0000 UTCLot of leg in his shot but what comes to mind for me is that speed pull up 3 he likes in transition

2024-04-28 15:29:33 +0000 UTCAny thoughts on why Booker is such a mediocre 3 point shooter? In my opinion, he has the most beautiful shooting form in the NBA. You'd think he'd be up there in the 40%+ area as a shooter. But he's only been hitting the 3 at a 36% clip this year, which is roughly what he's been around the past few seasons. I feel like not having that deep ball is impacting his ceiling as a player.

2024-04-28 14:58:02 +0000 UTCWhich team do ya'll think KD is hopping to next? On a serious note, I think the best move for the Suns is to trade KD and get some assets for him while he still has great value. He's gonna be 36 next season on a first round exit team. Depending on let's say OKC who could be a piece away from a chip, you could maybe snag a couple of their young guys.

2024-04-28 12:20:56 +0000 UTCSeeing Cj strouds reaction told me all I need to know on that kid. I’m excited to see him deebo and hopefully yuke balling out this year
Connor H
2024-04-28 10:43:06 +0000 UTCwell KD at this point is barely a number 1, same with Bron too so it's just a bad situation for book. I do think Book is a low tier 1 and high level second option on a championship team

2024-04-28 05:43:26 +0000 UTCI co-sign this statement. Thats why KD was never respected like Steph too. KD has a milk toast personality

2024-04-28 00:03:44 +0000 UTCEhh for now… I feel like there’s always a slow period after a dynasty ends.. maybe okc turns into that next team.. league always evolves

2024-04-27 23:33:34 +0000 UTCRight.. the defense would be bad so need athletic wings and bigs.. but yeah new generation is coming

2024-04-27 23:31:38 +0000 UTCI can see what you mean about Book being a number 2-3. You can say he’s number 2 to KD now but in these playoffs I’ve watched Book bring the ball down court, go over 2-3 screens, bring the ball back up and take a shot without passing the ball one time. Someone needs to take the ball out of his hands

2024-04-27 22:49:18 +0000 UTCOn the Booker thing, charisma is the separator. You can get a way with a lot of bullshit if you got charisma, you can't be an asshole AND boring.

2024-04-27 22:40:29 +0000 UTCwell put! petty vs endearing
Athletic Alchemy
2024-04-27 22:16:14 +0000 UTCnice!

2024-04-27 22:15:58 +0000 UTCsame

2024-04-27 22:15:51 +0000 UTCIDK BA clearly his favorite target tho
Athletic Alchemy
2024-04-27 22:15:44 +0000 UTCglad you liked it!
Athletic Alchemy
2024-04-27 22:15:13 +0000 UTCYup now it seem to be about surrounding a super star with big toolsy wings.. which I guess was the original iteration of the Steph Dubs
Athletic Alchemy
2024-04-27 22:14:53 +0000 UTCAgree about Book, more of a petty asshole than an endearing one, fitting his draft day comp more and more...

2024-04-27 21:27:42 +0000 UTCI remember Purdy saying that Deebo always makes him feel more comfortable when he's out on the field. I wonder if that'll be a factor in who goes.
OhSomeABeanLoadin
2024-04-27 21:19:12 +0000 UTCIt is looking more and more like it's going to come down to T Wolves or Denver, and Denver has so many advantages. We're officially on the cusp of the next dynasty.

2024-04-27 21:03:55 +0000 UTCGreat breakdown, enjoyed the mix! Thanks for throwing in the draft thoughts on 9ers pick, I was wondering what you thought!
Allison Hendrix
2024-04-27 21:02:40 +0000 UTCSeems like super teams no longer work bc talent gap is closing so roster construction and balance and team chemistry are the keys now. Can’t just out-talent everyone in the league anymore with a few stars
Luke Zhang
2024-04-27 21:01:19 +0000 UTCI totally agree with you on Booker and I understand the nuance. Ultimately, Luka is still the better player, but intangibles absolutely matter, and Luka has that asshole gene, or the IDGAF gene that you've mentioned in the past that Booker just doesn't. My homie was telling me last night, at least Book lead the Suns to the finals, KD can't say the same. I was like ehhh idk man, that Suns finals run was fraudulent lol. They've set themselves back big time. When was the last time we saw a super team succeed? The Dubs. They were already a well oiled machine with elite chemistry, then added another superstar. The formula needs to be continuity, along with talent and coaching. Look at the Wolves and Nuggets. The next generation is here and it's their time.
Crimson
2024-04-27 20:59:32 +0000 UTCI asked myself the same question. If they were all on a team together would they be favorite? I think it depends on the system and role players around them but the fact that it's not an immediate YES is crazy.

Jeffery Rosario
2024-04-27 20:28:31 +0000 UTCThe second you went on the tangent I about Book being an asshole and knowing it, I knew exactly what you meant. Fantastic analysis.
Dashaya Toney
2024-04-27 20:25:07 +0000 UTCWell said,the suns are truly done…Booker can’t play pg too…it’s weird that okogie can’t get minutes in that series too…so many issues
Rug Ntar
2024-04-27 20:15:43 +0000 UTCDamn this really is the end of a generation. My gf and I (she’s a lebron fan) were talking about how lebron, steph, KD are truly getting close to retirement and I asked if they were on a team together would they even be the favorites to win the title next year. We’re both unsure
