KEVIN DURANT TRADED TO SUNS

[TOO]

I just speculating, but maybe waiting until Thursday for the press conference is just a courtesy for the Cardinals who are supposed to announce their new head coach on Tuesday, probably have a press conference too. Apparently, it’s the eagles DC, Jonathan Gannon.

Doing it Thursday gives the cardinals a couple news days before AZ sports news get dominated by Durant again.

Please take him.

I can’t say I’m a fan of the move. Dude had a absolutely stacked defense this year, I could’ve been their damn DC haha

It was easy to defend when the QB you’re facing is Daniel Jones and door dash driver to get to the superbowl. Not a good look to get a guy who eagle fans are happy is leaving and didn’t look good in the biggest gamer of his career. Then again, he facing the possible future goat in Patrick Mahomes. It is what it is.

We’ll see, I guess. Next year was always a stop gap year for the cards regardless.

He's was pretty bad in the 2nd half of games all year once the offense had adjusted to the scheme. He just stuck with the plan, never changed coverages or blitzed when the front 4 weren't getting it done. Won't be sad if he goes.

With that said, you never know with HC, last 2 Philly has hired were considered underwhelming by most and they were more than sufficient.

[Superbone]

Hope Bazley and Warren can play against the Kings tomorrow. That way TJ can get injured before KD even has his press conference.

Stop that! He may get injured during his own press conference.

[Superbone]

The press conference for Warren and Bazley is today...

When? Did we miss it?

[Democritus]

Such a joy to my eyes...still feels unreal

[TOO]

I don't know if y’all get how unstoppable the offense is gonna be with him, he does everything well on offense from anywhere on the court, almost guaranteed a good shot on every possession the starters are out there

[TOO]

KD is shooting 56% from the floor while creating most of the shots himself, that's wild.

[Superbone]

Wow! He's moving well. Excited.

[Split T]

He’s also been incredible defensively this year…I think he was a top 2 MVP candidate when he got hurt.

Wouldn't it be something if he took us to the promised land and became MVP of the regular season and Finals. I may be getting ahead of myself a little bit.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Probably getting too far ahead here, but the FIBA World Cup is this summer. KD and Booker were starters on the last Olympic team, so I'm sure there will be some pressure for them to play again. Selfishly, I hope they both skip the tournament this summer.

[Split T]

Yea, let the B team handle that

It just dawned on me yesterday that we will see opponents best defenders not focusing on Booker/Paul for the first time. I made comments about this being a bit of a gut check for Ayton, but it could be even more so for Paul. He'll still carve up defenses, but he really needs to find his midrange shot again.

[Split T]

Like think about a matchup with the Warriors…they liked to put Draymond on CP3 to be able to switch Ayton/Paul PnR with Wiggins on Booker…now they probably have to put Wiggins on KD and Klay gets to guard Book. Book lights him up. They’ll hide Curry on whoever our 5th starter is, but imagine when they go to their “death lineup”…Draymond will have to take Ayton…Wiggins on KD, and that means Klay on Book, Curry on CP3 and Poole on our 5th starter. You put someone like Warren out there and even he could cook Poole.

They can’t switch pnr if Curry is on CP3. There’s going to be no good way to defend the suns. And the warriors are probably one of the best suited. The Clips could put together enough bodies…what is Dallas going to do? They’ll hide Luka, but Kyrie is going to have to guard CP3…they’ll have to play Powell for Ayton. They gonna have Green on Book and that means Christian Wood on KD? Yes please.

I heard the Grizzlies mentioned as a team that could maybe matchup and I don’t see that. They gonna put JJJ on KD? He’ll foul out pretty quick. Brooks on Booker? Is Ja gonna guard CP3? Or Bane?

I think CP3 is gonna see some pretty soft coverage in the playoffs and that’s huge. We’ll get pretty straight forward pnr coverages because teams won’t be able to switch. They might blitz, but hopefully Ayton learns how to handle the 4 on 3…that’s the one slightly questionable thing I see. But we could just go to CP3/KD PNR if that’s the case. Teams are not going to blitz that.

Re: Injuries

You guys throwing some serious shade at TJ though
Geeez man

He's back now, we don't need to justify us trading him away anymore by saying/expecting him to hardly be available smh lol

And I think everyone is a little overly concerned about KD
Glad there's some video evidence leaking to put minds at ease cause feels like some were nervous he's not coming back immediately after the Break

Only positive thoughts fellas (for both of them)

I also have positive thoughts about you fixing your avatar some day.

[bajanguy008]

I know man
I tried changing the Avatar using my phone and that happened
Tried putting back the previous Twin Image and was still having issues

I might finally get back a laptop soon and figure it all out
So apologies for my knuckle brain moment

[specialsauce]

We gave a pick away to get rid of TJ

Then we sent 5 picks over to acquire him

Include the pick we used to draft him


TJ has cost us 7 picks
