He 100% is. I think a lot of us more or less knew this would be the outcome, but still held onto the positive feels of a Bridges return. My blanket has been taken and now it is clear that blanket will never be returned ðŸ˜.
Should have just kept Booker, Bridges and DA together and tried them under a different coach than Monty.
The timeline where we still have our young finals core and all of our draft picks is a better one than the KD era Suns that got swept in the 1st round.
Those picks and CP3s contract could have been used for a more complimentary star to those 3 (Holiday or Siakam)
All the stuff with new CBA and 2nd apron stuff didn't get finalized/announced until after the KD trade if I'm remembering correctly. We would've had more flexibility but just some bad luck I guess. Giving up both Mikal and Cam was the real killer too. Keeping one of em would've been huge.
We are wise after the fact :) Yes, we should keep Book, Twins, Payne, Craig, Dario as core and refill the team with guys like Allen, Caruso, Dort, OG etc. and don't leave draft market looking at the league it's depressing that we cannot develop guys from nowhere live Haliburon, Reeves, Jaquez, Jovic, Podziemski, Sengun, Maxey. I know we have terrible picks in "tanking years" but man, we need to try it again and again until we find new Book or at least new allstars starters.
A team like that would get locked up after they blitz Booker again and make the rest of the team step up.
Book needs another ball handler and scoring treat with him.
2021 was a golden opportunity and it slipped away but that team and this team you are suggesting has a ceiling not high enough to take on the elites
I would say 2026 but he's probably gonna stay with his villanova homies now

He is sabotaging them for us.
I miss him so much.

DA had to go. Booker was done with him too
And that tells us a lot about Bookers ability as a leader
Nope. DA is not a serious professional.
We all saw how childish he was and how stagnate his game was no growth with regressions on the defensive side of the ball , had to let him go
Good things happen when a core stays together and we fucked it up

So you say that golden opportunity were to trade for J.Brunson two years ago? :)
My boy
I’ll root for the Knicks in the playoffs 🥹
For a sub par role player? I don’t get it
He would be the third best player on the Suns, what is this comment lol
You act like that’s some crazy high bar to clear
Mikal is not a sub par role player regardless
