How The Suns Built The Worst Superteam Ever

When the Phoenix Suns acquired Kevin Durant, and later on - Bradley Beal....the expectation is to win the championship right away. With a roster of 3 players making over 50 million a year, they've severely handicapped themselves, and it was apparent as they got swept by a superior team. This is how the Suns built the NBA's worst superteam.

@@notatrollll The Wizard management was foolish. Good stat in poor team is very misleading. When your team is down twenty points and is done, your opponents do not care your players to dress up their stat. It doesn't matter as long as your team is not in competition. It is a joke to pay that guy 50m per year.

KD wouldn't be a good fit. Minnesota is about development. Also, say what you will about his legacy, it would tarnish his legacy playing under ANT and KAT. But... KD would bring 30+pts most games. That would be a guaranteed 80+ most games from ANT, KAT and KD. Gobert pushing 20+. And they actaully play defense. ANT would be the only guy under 6'11 lol

GMs are trying to mesh a few overpaid superstars with young cheap talent? KAT, Beal, Lavine, Jaylen Brown….all great scorers….but not worth 50+million a year. We see the same thing in the NFL. Once you pay a qb 45/yr+ million or a reciever 30+ million….the clock is ticking. You have to draft perfectly and you begin to lose quality vets I like the way the Knicks are building… hopefully they don’t throw away their chemistry for a big name

With the “Stepian rule” in place how can the Suns have no picks for 6 years? The Stepian rule keeps teams from trading draft picks over consecutive years. They can swap draft position with other teams, but that just changes there draft positioning with the team they traded with. So the Suns definitely have a 1st round pick every other year until 2030, but they will be swaps. Which means the Suns will draft in the position of the team they traded with, and the team they traded with will draft in the Suns position if it’s a better pick, hence a swap.

The trade for Nurkic and Allen for Ayton i could live with (Allen was very good this regular season), however the Beal trade was an absolute gut punch. CP3 whilst not perfect was a far better fit and easier to move given his contract size and it being non-guaranteed. Now the got 2+1 years of Bradley Beal left with his no trade clause still lurking. It was one of the worst contract in the NBA when they traded for it and probably is the worst right now !

They have draft picks every other year and if things go completely to shit they can get draft picks for Booker. Previous iteration of the team was stalling out, I'd rather as a Suns fan that they made a play to win and lost then maintained mediocrity

I remember at the start of this season when the Suns were puffing their chests because they acquired Beal. I was....unimpressed. No defense, no depth I said. A friend who bets on the games was trying to convince me that Phoenix was a scary team that I was taking way too lightly. Fast forward a few months and all of a sudden he's betting on Minnesota. 🤣

The Suns do have first-round picks. They sent a bunch of pick swaps to Washington, which just means the Wizards have the option to substitute the Suns' pick for their own in 2024, 2026, and 2030 (assuming the Suns end up with a better pick in any of those years). 2028 is a little more complicated, but they have a first-round pick that year as well

Ironically with his build and shooting profile, McDaniels had a lot of comparisons offensively to KD when he was in HS/AAU. It just seems when he hit the pros he leaned more into his defensive identity.

KD teams always have the same problem, they stack up scoring talent but not actual team depth, that only worked on GS because it was already a 73-9 win team and in all honesty that NBA was not close to as deep as this NBA is, if he didn’t get as greedy with wanting harden on his team back in 21 then he would’ve won another ring, this suns team just needed to get more depth not Bradley Beal.

If you look at first two games of series the stats were identical except for turnovers (Suns have no point guards to create and dish to all those scorers. This leads to horrible shot selection). Second free throws. Minnesota makes upper 80percent even 90 percent of their free throws. They play D rebound, shoot high percentage so they can set there defense, and they run offensive sets like professional basketball players.

No, the main guy for wolves defense is not Gobert, is McDaniels, it can be named triangle defense with the wolves it's kinda unique what they do, it has the essence of zone defense but only part of the roster plays zone, they will always have one big and two perimetre defenders on court, most of the time it's Ant McDaniels and Gobert, but they also have KAT and Slomo to play centre (Slomo against small ball), and they have Alexander-Walker who is very good too, Gobert on the wolves players rather different than when he was on Jazz, he doesn't have to choose between stay under the hoop or pushing outside to the three point line, there are always two good denders outside so Gobert only need to take care of the inside, and he is much more free to push against mid-range shots because there will always be good rebounders taking care of the space he gave up, like a FIBA style zone arms are moved in unit not individually, Gobert covers a big enough air space but not all, that's what centres do in FIBA defense, always team defense first, centres taking care of the ones perimeter failed to stop, but if you don't have outside great defense, centres do nothing. Just look at his rebounding numbers, he is dropping comparing to Utah but if you watch the game you will feel like he got a lot more, because there are less offensive rebound lost. Gobert is never good enough to be a one man stopper, he is not Dwight Howard, and with the wolves he doesn't have to be, which works for him and for the team, this not-technically zone defense is what he needs and what the team need off him.

3 players all making damn near 50 mill a year really led to 0 playoff wins . Even the wolves last year without 2 of their best 6 players at least took 1 game from Denver lol getting swept gotta lead to changes Beal may have a no trade but he'd 100% agree to a trade as long as its not to a bad team. But really they should move kd to try to add a few pieces plus some picks for the future if they run it back book gonna eventually want out

I don't understand how they think they are a super team. All their super stars excel with a team with depth, but they traded all of them away for this roster. They become the regular stars without any rotation.

Another good example of super teams with multiple super star players doesn't mean guaranteed success, Basketball is a team sport and everyone need to adjust to fit the roles in order to win, The Suns and the Lakers, and many other teams that's been considered as super teams have failed again and again, until they figured out how to co-operate with their teammates.
