For whatever it's worth, something I noticed last year and in the few games I've seen this season, KD seems to be the most liked, most respected Suns player when they all go through their post game greetings. A lot of the time it seems like the post game rituals are just pro forma but the interactions with KD seem much more than that.

I didn't know if this has been posted, but Grayson Allen talks about the birth of his daughter, who was born Saturday.

I think if you’re own if his boys you dig him. He’s chill, can hoop, probably a generally likable dude. Does he get defensive on social media? Sure. So do 99% of everyone else.

Was going to share the AZRepublic article. Fairly certain most of us said that happened more than a week ago. Glad everyone is healthy now and spreads some light on why he missed a few games. Can't blame him for not going on some road trips when his wife was that close to delivery.

If he only fired back at trolls online then I wouldn't see as much of an issue. It's how he seems to seek out criticism that bothers me. If the TNT crew says something about him, he jumps on Twitter right away. Same applies when professional trolls like Stephen A Smith, Skip Bayless, or Kendrick Perkins criticize his performances. He has a right to defend himself him but he can do that by balling out. MJ, Bird, Curry, and Lebron would silence critics on the court.

Durant has too much free time. He's a mid 30's guy worth half a billion dollars that is one of the best athletes of all time. He has a hobby that detracts from his athletic legacy because he seems to enjoy arguing online about his dedication.

Yes, I think everyone knew about the situation, but it's always easier to talk about it after the birth.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Allen on your new baby girl!

Kendick Perkins sees the Suns as a dark horse to win it all.

Ryann Dunn's defense gives the Suns another dimension.

Happy 28th Birthday, Devin Booker!

What amazing stats for his age.

See how LeBron was trying to body him to get the foul. He would have gotten it on most other players. Refs are seeing and respecting the D. This is huge for the Suns.

KD for Giannis works financially. Lack of picks make it very unlikely. I don't see a way Milwaukee accepts a deal with us though. Not sure if they're over the apron, if they are then the financials make it impossible.
If there is anyway to get this done you have to do it. You get a much younger all-star to play alongside Book.

There is just no way this would happen. Milwaukee would want a young star and a cartload of picks. You don't trade Giannis without getting the blocks for a rebuild.

Y’all are looking at this the wrong way… we have to give something legit great and young to get a Giannis… that ain’t KD. It’s Book.

That’s the only way that happens. They’re going to want someone young, not an aging KD who probably wouldn’t even show up.

Big 2 of Giannis/KD and role players. Inside out game. An actual leader with Giannis and rim protector? That team is immediately better than this one and timeline… Giannis is only 1 year older than Book so it’s basically same.

Yeah I'm a little embarrassed for this site just to see anyone even remotely speculating about this. Even Booker isn't enough to make it happen.

No doubt. I didn't say it's feasible. Only that if you could somehow figure it out you would have to do it. It likely would require Book, more, and unless you could figure out some 3 way deal not even possible. It's free to dream though.
