    The reason this Big 3 doesn’t work is because they’re too similar to each other. None of them will beat you with quickness or strength. So it looks good when you have a favorable matchup but when you run a booker/KD pick n roll or a Beal/booker pick n roll or whatever combination of the three…you don’t get a meaningful advantage on the switch. They all have similar skill sets. Even Westbrook/Durant was better because Westbrook has a completely different skill set than Durant. He gives you explosion and quickness and rebounding Durant gives you finesse and skill. In order for a Big 3 to work well you need complimentary skill sets.

    ^ This !. I agree. Just go look at say your 1990 NBA Hoops basketball cards and look at the back of the card. Now look at how many players played the entire season or damn close to the entire season. Its mind boggling. Remember when Jordan signed a $9million contract and that was like HUGE at that time. Now you got bench players getting payed more. Its out of control the $ these players are making and at the same time there are no fine details that force the player to do anything more than "they" feel like doing to an extent. Look at Zion, how many games has he played out of how many potential games ? And this guy is making boo coo bucks. Also teams that gamble on these super teams fuck up their whole future when it doesnt work out. I have a hard time watching or being a fan of certain players/teams in this league now. How you can be a fan ? This BS makes it nearly impossible for me to even take the NBA or certain other sports seriously. Just my 2 cents.

    I said as much pre-season multiple times. Where the Suns got killed in the last playoffs was at the forward position, and they failed to add either a league average starter or backup PF or SF, and they traded away a good enough center in Ayton for a not good enough center. It is not the "star" players that are the problem, it is that you cannot have just three starters who can score and a trash bench and contend. Suns got a combined three points from their PF and C starters last game, so the three "stars" are mostly double teamed, playing three on five on offense. Then, as I also noted preseason, who are their defensive stoppers? Suns traded away every player but Booker from the team that went to the Finals a few seasons ago, when they definitely should have just run it back with a better coach.

    Disagree on Booker but 100% agree on Beal. Booker has been the best player on the suns the last two years, even with KD, but Beal wouldn't even be in the 6th man of the year conversation if he had been coming in off the bench. On a team that didn't have a SG he'd be a starter, but he's not a star, and doesn't make sense for the Suns roster that is loaded with SG and lacks even a back up PG.

They needed a Pippen to be a reliable 2nd option, a Rodman to grab rebounds/play defense, a Paxson/Kerr to hit wide open 3s… and that’s what the Suns don’t have.

Just like Denver, sure they traded for Aaron Gordon and sure they are a great team, but it is all in the normal process of good draft picks and smart one at a time trades they got here.

Honestly I don't hate that trade and getting a good point guard to give Beal and Booker looks in Murray would be nice. We definitely need a good point guard this offseason.

They may be super, but the success is arguable. This is what super team today are missing. They have star player from completely random game mechanics and just mix them like a salad. My view of super team is this, 3+ star player from completely different team while at their peak. A minimum of 2 ring for s super team to claim success.

    I know it may not happen, but hear me out - KD to the San Antonio Spurs. Gregg Popovich would love to pair KD with Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs have draft picks from the Dejounte Murray trade which could be very valuable if the Atlanta Hawks implode. And sure, the Spurs might not be that competitive during KD's final years of his contract, but a Wemby-KD pairing will bring in some eyeballs for sure (Wemby on his own does it already). The problem is that San Antonio doesn't have other assets (other than the draft picks from Atlanta that is) that would be of interest for Phoenix. The Suns should've never traded for Bradley Beal and his albatross contract even if they got him for a steal. KD will make $51M in 2025 and nearly $55M in 2026, which is bad enough, but Beal is set to make $54M in 2026 and has a player option worth of a little over $57M for 2027. The Miami Heat were interested in both Beal and Damian Lillard before and/or during the offseason, but TBH Pat Riley is happy that he dodged 2 bullets.

    Whats funny is wade in 2010 was seen as a top 3 player top 2 guard and in 2011 still top 4 player at worst next to kobe bron and mvp rose but in the playoffs seen as a top 2 guy by the middle of those finals and next to dirk by the end at 1 with bron at 3 as kobe looked old getting swept not making top 5 with kd and westbrook surpassing him...and in 2012 wade was still a top 4 player top 3 in the playoffs and the top guard in the playoffs and best guard outside of like paul in the regular season and in 2013 easily still a top 5 player and top 4 playoff guy ..people pretend like wade fell off...

    suns let it slip through their fingers. they should targeted jrue holiday. so when the bucks traded holiday for lillard, they should cash in, trading cp3 plus multiple draft picks for jrue with maybe nurkic. ayton could have been traded for top supporting role players.

    If they trade Durant, they should probably trade Booker too as the picks aren't going to be on his timeline. They could probably get 9 first round picks for those two guys?

    I said it when the Beal trade happened: Matt Ishbia is an idiot. It's fine that he was making aggressive moves; he just didn't think them through. First of all, although there were valid reasons to fire Monty Williams, he still shouldn't have been fired. Trading for KD was a big risk alone, but trading for Beal? Terrible. The minimal return they got from the CP3 and Ayton trades made it look even worse. I don't understand how this man sat courtside during the Nuggets series last year, saw the issues with his roster, and thought Beal was the answer. This roster lacks a legit floor general, depth (namely at the forward spot), size, viable defenders, and a more modern play style. Even if they tried to trade KD as you suggested, I don't think teams like OKC or the Knicks would give up their depth for him, and draft picks don't equal money. Not to mention that being stuck with Booker and Beal is still a bad situation.

    It's kind of disingenuous to say they have no picks for the next 6 years. They have a first rounder in 26 and 28. And it'll likely end up being their own, as I don't see the Wizards being competitive anytime soon. Even if it's a late first rounder, it's still a pick.

    Im good with this. When my Northwoods Dawgs gave up the whole grocery list to snag the stifle tower you basketball stans feasted with jokes and memes. Nobody batted an eye when the eclipsed Suns gave up theirs and their mothers houses for Bradley Beal. One of those trades is paying dividends while the other is about to get swept like the kitchen floor after the kids make their own breakfast.

    It is end of **random superteams**. Just sign 3 max players with no consideration for their fit. Like Beal does not complement Booker and Durant. Kawhi & PG13 & Beard are actually well fit big-3 and they make mediocre center like Zubac play great. The injuries are the issue with the Clippers. Gobert in MIN is good fit bc he complements KAT's softness. Spida and Garland are bad fit, bc they are too similar. Giannis, Dame and Khris should be good fit, byt the injuries caught up to them. .
