Very well done video. Just one thing....I do believe you're falling victim to the sunk cost fallacy as far as not blowing up the team because they don't have or control their future picks. Regardless of what they do, those picks aren't coming back. They're a sunk cost. Keeping a bad, aging team together in an attempt to devalue draft picks that you don't even own anymore is foolish. Whether the Nets get the number one overall pick next year or the twentieth pick has absolutely zero bearing on the Suns situation. Chasing the 6th seed next year just to save face will only devalue your meager assets more....as Booker and Durant will be a year older. Seems like Phoenix can do one of two things. Trade KD and Booker now, get how ever many draft picks they can, and start the rebuild immediately. Or they can ride it out, get blown out in the first round of the playoffs for another year or two while devaluing their only remaining assets, and then be the worst team in the league until at least 2032. And either way, their own draft picks are gone for good..
Man I thought the Bulls future looked directionless. I'd rather take directionless than straight BLEAK
They’re stuck with Beal for like 3 years lmao😂 worst future in the league

The primary problem with moving Beal is not his value or lack there of...it's the fact he has a no trade clause. You can't even conjure the thought to move him unless he gives the okay. So in actuality they're stuck with him unless he says he wants to leave.

The problem with moving Beal is his salary. I'm sure he would waive his no trade clause in a heartbeat to join a true contender. And every single team in the league would love to have him. But not for $50 million dollar a year. In fact, I don't think you'll find any teams at all that would want him at that number.

@@bluedog424 ironically..most would argue he is on a contending team. IMO your point on salary isn't invalid; just the fact Beal still has the ultimate say in where he goes and for what pieces. If Phx wants young and contributing players in return for him instead of picks (since they have little control over their own picks over the next few years), Beal could veto it feeling it would leave the team he'd be going to barren (i.e. the Nets trade that helped put them in this situation). If they want older players to help win, he could veto it because he would want those same players as teammates on the new team. Yea $50M in salary is a huge part of the troubles as well. I'm not going to disrespect your opinion feeling it's not the most challenging aspect of a trade; it's your opinion and that's what sports talk is about. I would just say any and all parts of a contract are relevant as it would be foolish for agents, attorneys, and all interested parties to iron out every detail while also believing their work is irrelevant.
Heat FO should be commended for not overpaying for Beal or Dame. Sometimes your best move is no move.

I am a suns fan, I watched the full regular season and just let me say I was fully expecting to get swept this badly on the first round. It was torture watching this team during the regular season idk how anyone in the media picked the suns to come out dominating one od the toughest team in the west for a 7 game series.
don't forget the no trade clause Beal has😅
Trade KD to the Clippers for Zubac and Harden
Remember when Brad Beal and John Wall played together!!!????😯😮😦
Suns should get a decent PG. If they're running these same rosters next year then they should also consider Beal coming off the bench and have him close out games with KD & Booker. This way, KD & Booker can do all the scoring while their 2nd unit would have better scoring as well

Beal is going to knock on Ant’s door this summer and ask if he can have his soul back.
Trading KD to the Knicks is a possibility. He and Randle both have 2 years left on their deals, Randle's contract is a bit cheaper, and KD is better than Randle even at this point in his career. However, it's still a risk considering KD's age and his health, and the Knicks may wanna trade Randle for either a younger star on a cheaper contract (such as Mikal Bridges) or more depth. Idk about trading him to OKC. There are still tense feelings between he and their fanbase (his fault), so they may not accept him. Also, most of their players except SGA are either on rookie deals or small contracts, so they would probably have to give up a lot of them and some draft capital to match his contract, which I doubt they would wanna do. Also, trading KD would be unfair considering how Beal performed in Game 4. Oh, the irony of the Suns replacing an owner who was a cancer in their organization with an owner who is in over his head.
Booker has to force his way out. Durant has to force his way out. They both have to race to beat eachother out. Because soon as one leaves the team really won’t let the other out. 😂
Denzel Valentine is the answer to all of their problems.
The guy that picked the suns to win series and said antman would demand a trade 😂😭
Still glad we picked Oden over Durant. Oden flamed out, but he didnt leave the Blazers locker room Smelling like Tuna!!
You left out the fact that, with the picks they do have, multiple teams have the right to swap. Three teams have swap rights on their 2026 first and two teams have a right to swap on their 2028 pick. It’s insane how screwed these guys are
They have no dominate center

I believe that you said their payroll was higher than 15 teams but while that seems like a nitpick, that is LITERALLY higher than HALF THE LEAGUE. Only way out is to convince a team to trade for KD. Ofc I can’t see any trade being made if the Suns aren’t paying most of the contract.

You trade Durant and rebuild. Which yes, I known, sounds insane because this team was a deep young talented team a just three seasons ago. This will probable go down as another cautionary tale of why having a strong GM is important, because owners almost always make the wrong decision. With a proper check on ownership honestly ask yourself if they had trade for Jrue Holiday instead and made minor tweaks would this team have been swept in the first round? I don't think so.
Petition to rename the team to the Phoenix Sons. They’ve been getting adopted in the playoffs for years now.
Why does everyone want to attach Orlando to every player on the market?
OKC bas a treasure chest of draft capital that hasn’t been seen before. Utah isn’t that far behind. Is Phoenix in the worst shape ever draft pick wise? This could make the Boston / Brooklyn trade look pale in comparison
As a Memphis fan I don’t feel so bad now 😂
Suns vs Bulls for the Cancun championship
I’ll never understand the Beal deal, like 8 years late for Beal. He was a Washington Bullet he’s been playing so long😂
Crazy they got swept. They need to trade beal for some depth
You got 3 scores, that'll overdrible before thinking of passing. The pass comes to late, and the defends has already rotated back.
Heres hoping this finally kills the ThhhhhhuperTeam bs.
I don't get why people insist on sending him to well-organized teams in trade speculations. OKC and NY are fine without him. He would infect them with bad vibes and aura. Just ship him to Washington or any other non-factor team.
We saw how TWolves looked pretty average last season, and Gobert trade looked like a complete disaster, but they regrouped and now look like a force for years to come. I think Suns can do the same and have one more go at title next year. KD-Book are solid, but wing defence, center, and bench are all atrocious. Suns should definitely try to trade Nurkic and get rid of Vogel as it seems players cant play with him. Not utilising David Roddy and Royce Oneal properly was absolutely stupid. Only way James Jones can now redeem himslef is signing some hidden gems from free agency and compete. (Guys like Kelly Oubre)

It's crazy that they thought this would work. Having KD, Beal and Booker with no depth in a conference where Harden, PG, Kawhi and Russ with some depth exists. How do you expect to win if The Clippers aren't even favorites to get out of the West?
Breaking: Kevin Durant will be joining the Denver Nuggets next season. He really wants a 2nd ring. 😂
this suns team may gotten swept but lets get real, this suns team still has mega talent. Vogel may not be the right fit but to make the best of the Suns’ situation, it maybe best just to try again while Durant is still a top 5 player in the league.
Instead of Bradley beal Should've signed two good role plyrs
What about the bulls trade Zack and vooch for Kevin and draft Zack from college I need to know your thoughts 💭 or and this can happen
On what planet was it a reasonable idea to bring in Beale!? You can’t trade him!!!
The only place they can go from here is Cancun and the Timberwolves helped with that. 4-0 sweep 🧹 🤣😂
Ishbia just doubled down on tne stupid and explained (him being a great basketball mind) that Suns dont need a point guard because they hsbe 3 star players. Always nice to see people gain no insight after failure. But to be honest, they sorta have to go all in because no one will trade for Beal and KD value drops year after year.

First they Gotta look at the rest of the league and realize what they actually need to beat the best teams..after coming to grips with the reality that they CAN NOT improve that that team…..either blow it up, find a way to trade Beal, if he doesn’t wanna leave trade book and KD and start over, just let Beal rot on the bench.
I knew when they got Beal it wouldn't work.
They could trade Devin Booker to the Nets for some of their picks back
You mean Durant having Zero Courage matters?
During game one my dude asked me why i wasnt watching the game...I told him its boring we gon sweep they trash ass....Im from Minnesota tho 😎
I think things will look better once Kevin young is gone
The only team in the Pacific division with a decent 5 year outlook are the Kings. I don't need to say anything about the Suns that's not being said; Warriors and Clippers core's are old; Lebron will be gone and do you expect the Lakers to win it all with AD?
Great scorer great scorer great scorer. You mean Rebounds and Defense matter? Kevin Durant is a 7 footer who will only get you 6 rebs a game. PGs matter?
They probably need to flip Durant and Beal. They aren’t wining anything with only Durant and booker they need a guard and a center. Honestly they might not be able to get much for either Beal or booker. I can see a stupid ass team like LA or a Lebron team that trades a lot of young assets for Beal
I say just get a new coach. Run it back. Become the oldest team next season. That Dallas championship team was fairly old. Y'all just panic and do what you would have done on 2k. 😂😅
3 ball dominant players, no true point guard, poor defensively and no reliable big men. An imbalanced roster equates to an early playoff exit. 🤦🏽
may be they send beal to nets and take ben simmons
I dunno, the West is strong and young. Maybe on the East Coast, the Suns do better.
