Rusty being a professional Sun's hater is why I love him

"Kris is good, but not that good" He took that personal.

The irony of the Suns trading CP3 for Beal and then their biggest need being a playmaker and on floor leader can not be overstated.

as someone who’s watched your videos for years, your overall production quality and ability to articulate your points has just consistently gotten better. You produce good stuff dude.

Bobby Portis took it personal too. lol

Old man revenge squad, LBJ, Curry and Durant team up for one last title

Then there's also Bradley Beal's no trade clause. Even if they were to want to move him at some point, Beal would get to pick where he gets to go, dictate the trade package or just flat out refuse to be traded, if he really wanted.

Maybe if the Lakers didn’t need to shoot 800 more free throws than anyone else in the NBA just to stay in the play in race they could actually be a competitive team

Remember the Bright Future Suns? That was just two years ago LMAO. They went from Bright Future to No Future with just one playoff run of Bright Present

Bobby Tortis 2 Rusty Buckets 0 He gets an extra point for punching homie on the bulls

Rusty dropped a video, Destiny 2 got an update, kendrick cooked Drake, and my knicks have a chance to close the series. Today has been awesome.

Bradley Beal for ben Simmons and one first round pick is probably the best you're getting.

0:06 it was 4:1 in the Nuggets versus Lakers series.

I know one thing, they aren't going to the second round.

Bucks take was horrible

I´m really liking these new editing style videos, it makes them feel much more structured.

i truly dont think you can blame the suns gm for their failures. it was truly all on the owner trying to throw his weight around, thinking he knew more than everyone else.

Getting back Alex Caruso would be a dream for the lakers, and would greatly raise their ceiling. I wonder who else could they trade for or sign that would do the same.

I think should put "contender" in HEAVY cotes, cause besides the Bucks (who had serious injury problems), those teams aren't contenders in this league 😂

Watching this after celebrating a Bucks win is so funny. Our team stepped up hopefully we can keep our energy going for the next 2 games

Ngl calling the bucks this early is kinda crazy

When you said Cam Thomas from Booklyn I'm pretty sure you actually ment Cam Johnson

The take on Portis and the Bucks in general aged like milk in the sun 😂😂😂 happens to us all.

All that for the bucks to not lose😂

Man, if they signed Caruso, traded for Brandon Ingram and Josh Hart and Lonzo Ball and hired Frank Vogel they would be a step closer to getting back to their old roster!

New Owner Syndrome has destroyed the phoenix suns for the foreseeable future

Cmon Jacob nothing beats the Brooklyn nets blunder of a front office

It’s fun to see someone be such a vocal Austin Reaves supporter. I feel like a lot of the non laker hype around him died out when he had a slow start to the season. I also strongly believe that AR can get the job done regardless of what’s asked of him. He definitely shows up in the big moments and as you said I just appreciate his consistency. AR just gives consistent effort and I feel at least that he really cares about winning and I appreciate that.

The suns need to trade the rest of thier role players for future rookie of the year Ben Simmons. Bring in westbrook too, they can have a full starting 5 of washed has beens.

Lmao at LeBron getting mad at a call last night and walking by a woman sitting in the front row, made a lunge like he was going to punch her. Then hes back laughing putting his hands up joking about how he made her flinch. What a tough guy. TNT overtine second camera angle if you dont believe me.

I think you mixed up the names of Cam Thomas and Cam Johnson lol

Matt Ishbia really thought he could just MyGM his way to a ring lol.

KD played LeGM but isn't well-rounded enough to actually capitalize on whatever is around him

That Khris Middleton take ain’t aging well so far, if the bucks win that series come back to this comment

I feel so vindicated calling Phx out as a second round exit at best once they made the Beal trade lmao

The only way out for phoenix is to try and flip booker to brooklyn for the KD assets

Good shit, love your videos!

For the entire offseason Giannis and Dame need to learn how to run a pick and roll and the entire team needs to learn how to defend one. And fire Glenn

Rusty, you forgot to mention that Beal still has that "no trade clause" in his contract :)

It’s like the owners of the suns has 2k franchise brain 🧠 😂

Your content is so much better then everyone else's thanks for making this.

this is the video of this style great work rusty

Bucks are injured and aren’t even officially eliminated yet. Get them tf outta this video

Im glad to see someone who’s watched laker games and sees the vision with Austin Reaves. He’s the lakers diamond in the rough pick.

great video as always, just saying at the start you put it as nuggets 4-0 lakers but it was 4-1 🤣 love the work 🫶

Giving Beal an ultimatum either he accepts a trade elsewhere or he’s going to rot in Phoenix by himself cause im trading Book and KD. I’ll make his life miserable

They wont fire Doc... He has the perfect excuse now. 😂

The suns lack of depth is so crazy that 3-4 players on the end of the wolves bench who didnt play any rotation minutes would either start or be in the rotation off the bench for the suns

Dame and Giannis modern day “Kobe and Shaq” 😂😂😂 who said that and I want what they’re smoking

It’s crazy that I agree with you about the Bucks but also that Bobby just went off and was a difficult matchup for Siakam, Pat Bev looked like a true point, and Pat Connaughton did pretty damn good as well tonight

IDK but there should be like a "Rule of The Sun" where a team can only have two max contracts at one time. Would be nice to see more duos around and would certainly make the NBA much more competitive on the East.

The irony is that the TWolves were predicted to be in the situation that the Suns are in now when the Gobert trade went down

in my opinion the last time kevin durant was KEVIN DURANT, was in the 2nd round of the 2021 playoffs when they faced the bucks, especially games 5 and 7. i remember watching those games, he was unstoppable. game 5 was one of the greatest individual performances i've seen as a fan of the nba, he dropped 49/17/10 on 70% from the field and 44% from 3. and again showed out in game 7 dropping 48/9/6 but the potential game winner (he made it) but was overruled and was a long 2 because the tip of his shoe was on the line, and you know the rest. this series was the last time kevin durant was really a true number 1 guy in my opinion. final 2021 playoff stats for him 34/9/4 on 51/40/87 splits.

Bro, rusty has a major in hating the suns💀💀💀

this video was great ❤

Bradley Beal said out of his mouth that he’s hooping for money on that interview with Draymond😂😂

Bucks never should've fired Budenholzer if they planned to get Dame from the start, which I don't think was the case. Firing Bud and getting Dame were not both planned from the start. Regardless I do think firing Griffin was the right move, getting into shootouts 140-135 with the Pistons is gross. I do not think the Bucks finish with a 57 win record under Griffin, maybe like 50-52. Regardless hiring Doc mid-season and extending him was even worse because now you've tied Doc Rivers to the Giannis/Lillard era under til the 2026-2027 which is when both guys are free agents or have player options. Bucks should've just stuck with Prunty as a interim, like they did after firing Kidd, and went into the off-season with a better plan. Budenholzer would be great to bring back or go for Kenny Atkinson or even Terry Stotts. All of those player moves sound great to me that Rusty suggested.

If OKC pulls the trigger with their picks on Book or KD without giving up their core role players, that'd be scary

Suns would need nick nurse, vogel wasnt bad but once he lost the locker room that was it. They would need to hope for a trade for Tyus Jones since TJ Mconnel wouldnt get moved most likely. Even then the trading is still tricky. Get of the E.G contract, get a better center off the bench. Move beal to the bench if he wont leave. If KD is done with Phoenix, then move off his contract as well.

pheonix playing it how i used to play 2k, trade all my picks and depth for stars and rings, except for them its not a videogame

KHRIS MIDDLETON MASTERCLASS L BOZO

you mean cam JOHNSON right?? cam thomas would 100% make the bucks worse

It just boggles my mind that people thought Phoenix would work

Rusty I just booted the video up but it’s crazy to put the bucks next to these two teams. You mentioned both Giannis and Lillard were out. I’d they are healthy it’s a threat

Grayson Allen getting hurt is the highlight of the season for me

Here so early there's no audio yet, hell yeah.

somebody put the Bucks in the ground a day or two too early

I would still argue Ben Simmons worst contract ever; at least Beal has been somewhat available this season 😂

The Grant Williams for Bobby P trade is... interesting. I think the Buck's locker room, specifically Giannis, fucking hate that guy. I do agree they definitely need a starting caliber 3nD guy. If Grant Williams wasn't Grant Williams then I'd probably agree. I think a rim-running, rebounding defender to back-up Brook at the 5 is a definite must!

When’s the main channel vid coming?

KD needs to really consider reworking his contract. This is why I believe the whole “get your bag” thing becomes convoluted, because then there is an excuse that he doesn’t have enough help.

Pheonix owner has destroyed the franchise lmao. Bradley beal left washington for washington

the suns are screwed because of the money, the only thing i can think of that is even a possibility to maybe save them is if they have the ability to draft brony. with a vet min lebron they might be able to put a roster together.

1:34 lol i knew that simpsons clip would be a viral meme

I'm wondering if Lebron will start to practice high P&R this off season. If he somehow adds this to his bags, that could make a big difference against Denver. Especially going to his right and pull up from 3.

Lakers never should have fired Vogel

For the lakers, our problems were; Health (Lebron and AD were extremely healthy which makes it far more frustrating), as our core role players were hurt for a good chunk of the season at critical points, and one of our new signings intended to relieve defensive pressure, Gabe Vincent, only played 10 games before the post season. Lack of a defensive big man that could relieve pressure off AD And, IMO the biggest problem, coaching. The Shams article confirmed what I and most other people suspected all along; Ham has no idea what he's doing from an Xs and Os perspective and the team was essentially self running since February. We didn't have a gameplan on a nightly basis, and most critically, we didn't have an identity. Every team has an identity, the Nuggets have a wide open offense that is coordinated by Jokic, the Wolves have the twin towers with an explosive guard, the Warriors have (in theory) oppressive outside shooting, the Celtics have an incredibly well rounded roster where everyone at MINIMUM is GOOD at what they do, the Mavs have a dynamic offense that moves quick and can attack from all angles. The Lakers have a 40 year old that's expected to perform as if he's 32, and Anthony Davis, the best defender in the league and one of the greatest defenders of all time being forced to exist AS our only defense. Our identity is let the geriatric genetic anomaly dominate and have only one dude actually play defense who is also expected to drop 30/12 every night. Our identity is that we leave the perimeter wide open. That's on the coaching. Darvin didn't commit to the lineup that was our most successful, Dlo/Reaves/Lebron/Rui/AD, til AFTER the All Star Break. NONE of those guys were injured for extended stretches except for Rui, who missed 20 games early in the season, but once healthy he stayed on the bench until it was too late. Rui starting put us on a SIXTY WIN PACE, and Darvin was more concerned about giving Prince and Reddish 30+ minutes for some reason. This team is one or two pieces away from real contention. We just need someone with a modicum of intelligence to unlock the potential. As you said, we have big wings and, statistically, great shooters. We need a defensive system in place, get another defensive big, we might have a chance against Denver who is the wall of the west.

Only delusional Lakers fans thought they were contenders these last 2 seasons

Did you forget about the nets causing the rule preventing back to back year trades

I am glad that the Celtics never pull the trigger on that Durant trade, even though he was in trade talk all the time. I feel we would end up like Nets and Suns

As a Bucks fan, I’d rather see Lopez gone than Portis. I think his post defense can be covered by Giannis and Bobby, and a younger, quicker center would help us a lot more

No video on the Maxey game? Arguably the best game of thrones playoffs so far

I think Dlo's contract has a player option next year and I suspect he will go to free agency this off-season.

The main difference i saw in this playoffs with austin and dlo is that if the 3s arent falling austin still has value in the game while dlo loses almost all impact

Milwaukee still in it and your counting them out before they played. What horrible take that aged like fruit left in the sun

The Bucks tried to insert Dame into the old era that was a contender for the last 5 years and expected it to work without putting in the work and taking shortcuts. What they need is more young talent or more opportunities for their current young talent by trading some current vets for the capital that we lack.

Beal really waited till he got that super max to finally leave just to most likely be in the same position he was on the wizards

Rusty looks like a baseball kid meme

You clearly haven’t seen reaves play PG during the regular season. He can’t run an offense and get others involved the way d lo or bron can. He’s better as the secondary playmaker and slashing creating for his own in the midrange. But no he should not be the starting PG that would be disastrous

They should do a Mid range contest in the all star

Ive only just recently started paying attention to 🏀 again after buying 2k24 on sale a while back and i knew there was a reason Bradley Beal was always so readily available in any of the fantasy drafts I've done! Apparently 2k's a.i. is smarter than the Phoenix Suns 😅

I'm not sold on Mat Ishbia being a bum owner YET, but the KD trade was an impulse move meant to put his own stamp on the Suns as opposed to the owner we KNOW was a bum. Ultimately, the KD era has to flame out in disgrace. From there, we'll TRULY see who Mat Ishbia is as an NBA owner.

You are wrong about KD he averaged 27 this year on 50/40 splits. He also has been on terrible teams since he lost to Milwaukee in the playoffs a couple years back.

I can’t believe the Suns fumbled one of their few draft picks by overpursuing *Drew* *Eubanks* … like, fr?

For me, the Lakers have 2 big problems. One is as you mentioned D'lo. He needs to get traded. Yes he played good in the regular season, but as u said Rusty, he's a jump shooter. He can't slash and draw fouls to save his life so when is jump shots aren't falling, he's basically useless. And he is a horrible defender. Make Reaves your primary point guard as he can do everything D'lo does for the most part + he can draw fouls & get easy buckets. My second biggest problem is that AD cannot play as a center. He got exposed against traditional centers like Jokic, Sabonis and Sengun this season. Let him play as PF. He's at his best when he can roam freely, at times guard the opposing teams best player and play help defense imo. Oh yeah I almost forgot, get rid of Darvin Hamsandwich...

Please make a video on the worst contracts in the leagues history I’d love to see how beals compares to other notably bad contracts

We shlda kept Dwight howard or javelle Magee or even got boogie.... jaxson hayes aint cuttin it....

The advice to the Suns is basically cry.

I have hope for the Bucks. More time for Giannis and Dame to gel. I just worry how much time Kris has left to stay healthy and whatever their coaching situation is

Your distain for kd shines every time you bring him up
