Following game threads is cheap entertainment. It's the same as Cards game threads.. Love. Hate. Love. Hate. Love. Hate. Rinse. Repeat.

I need to understand how Durant is worth 3 players and four unprotected 1st round picks. Not hating. Dont understand. Havent watched bball in years. Hope the Suns can finally get that ring... My first sports memories are of the Suns.

It's not really. Mortgaging the future for a ring for an older, albeit stellar player. If they get it, it'll be worth. Otherwise, they are mega boned.

Because the picks are virtually meaningless. 1 player hasn't played all year and was sitting out.

Durant is averaging just under 30 points per game and shooting 56% from the field.

super exciting

hate to see Mikal go.

so far so good with Ishbia, but I caution that I see high potential for craziness there

better than Sarver, but thats a low bar

The Sun's also got TJ Warren, who is coming off of a major injury and missed 2.5 seasons. He is starting to show life again and could be a key player come playoffs. He's on a minutes restriction of around 20 and still putting up decent numbers.

Having a top-3 superstar is more important to win a championship then having an elite QB given the roster size.
.
Titles since 2010:

Curry > Stafford
Giannis > Brady
Lebron = Mahomes
Kawhi = Brady
Durant > Foles
Durant = Brady
Durant = Brady
Curry > Manning
Curry = Brady
Wilson > (that Spurs team was rare)
Lebron > Flacco
Lebron > Eli
Dirk = Rodgers
Kobe = Brees

I am in the exact same boat as you. In fact it might as well be me that posted everything that you did. I could even understand it a bit if KD wasn't injured all the time.

Man oh man. The Suns HAVE to win a championship this year or next or they will be terrible for 10 more years.

Why? Because theyre generally late first round? If memory serves, outside of the lottery, most 1st rounders are total projects anyway? Is that why they're virtually meaningless? Its a bold move, and Im happy the new owner wants to swing for the fences, but thats A LOT of capital to give up.
