Per league source a potential Blockbuster 3 team deal between PHX, BRK & Utah is being discussed & could be finalized tomorrow centered around Deandre Ayton to Utah, Donavan Mitchell to Brooklyn and Kevin Durant to Phoenix. Other players and picks are involved per league source👀
The Suns will do everything possible to keep Mikal Bridges! Can confirm from trusted source there is a strong possibility that this could get done while keeping Young Scottie aka Mikal Bridges with Big 3 of Devin Booker, Kevin Durant & CP3! Again no guarantees but very possible👀
The only reason the Suns are in this situation regarding Beal is because he wants to be in Phoenix & has the power to control things via No Trade Clause. This is why you make the KD trade. Devin Booker & Kevin Durant make Phoenix a prime opportunity and Destination. This is Real!
Going to be an interesting offseason in Phoenix. Im told the Suns will have a unique opportunity to land a true Superstar who wants to be in Phoenix with Booker while allowing CP3 to take a lighter load as a 3rd option at 37. Right place at the right time situation for the Suns👀
Multiple sources have confirmed Portland has interest in Deandre Ayton & could be willing to discuss a deal centered around the 3rd overall pick and additional pieces. Scoot Henderson & Brandon Miller are both considered to be foundational players in this upcoming NBA Draft.
I'm told per league source things are progressing as expected with the Suns clearly in the Best position to aquire Kevin Durant! Cap gymnastics currently going on but I still expect KD to be in Phoenix when it's all over. Suns are Clear
#1
at the moment.
People who are questioning this move are not realizing that the Suns just got BRADLEY BEAL for 38 year old CP3 & Landry Shamet! The Suns just got a 29 year old ALL-NBA, 3x AllStar for what is basically a salary dump. It's really that simple, you can't do any better than that 💯
Devin Booker flew across the country yesterday to get to Miami & join his team for tonight's game vs Heat. He could have easily sat this one out and returned Friday vs Toronto. This is your franchise player folks, dude just loves hoopin and loves this team. Locked In Mentality!💯
This was probably one of the best and efficient Playoff performances I've ever seen in my life folks!
Devin Booker
47pts 9ast 5rbs 1blk 3stl on 20-25 shooting 80% and by the way only 2 free throws which he made! Absolutely incredible performances! Be Legendary Young Man! Wow🤯
Breaking News:
Assuming nothing unexpected happens between now and tipoff tomorrow I can confidently say that after roughly 9 days out with a Mild Hamstring Strain I fully expect Devin Booker to return to the Suns lineup for Thursday's potential closeout game 6 in New Orleans.
I keep hearing how are the Suns going to fill out the rest of the roster as if Mat Ishbia and James Jones made this trade and somehow forgot about the rest of the roster? C'mon folks y'all seriously think they made this deal and don't already have a plan in place? JUST WATCH 🤯👀
The Suns are indeed having conversations with several teams regarding Deandre Ayton! Boston and Atlanta are two teams I'm told to keep an eye on regarding Ayton with the Suns looking to build depth after acquiring Bradley Beal from Washington.
Devin Booker is The Best Basketball Player on Planet Earth right now! Yeah I said it! Keep Being Legendary Young Man! Men lie, Women lie, NUMBERS DONT! RESPECT 👑
This is why you don't go on Twitter everyday criticizing people who are trying to work through things! Everyone who's been killing Landry Shamet is running around celebrating right now! Good for Landry Shamet! Let's go Planet Orange
If Giannis can knock your teeth out and not get called for a foul I'm not sure how to stop that! This is getting crazy 🤯 Wow! By the way Giannis is the most Physical player on the court tonight and has 0 fouls! There's just no way that's possible 😤
The Suns will be fully healthy by the end of the month! The Crowder deal will eventually get done. When the Suns are healthy & rolling the last 30 games of the season don't switch up the energy! Respect to the real one's who stuck with them through the fire 🔥! We got pictures 📷
If you haven't heard I'm officially moving to Arizona this summer. Looking to be out in the Valley by August 1st if not sooner. Alot of great opportunities for me and my family not to mention my career but it's getting stressful. Need some prayers Planet Orange 🙏 Godspeed 💯🤝
The Suns took the Nuggets to 6 games with CP3 out for 4.5 games and Ayton out game 6. Insert Brad Beal for CP3 and they maybe win that series. Don't over think this folks. The Suns could absolutely bring back some of their own free agents along with a few adjustments and be fine!
Notice how Booker & CP3 are always sitting together in pictures & on the Suns bench when not in uniform. These guys are playing Chess not Checkers, Notice who's always sitting next to KD in those same situations? Yup Deandre Ayton. Do not for 1 second think that's by mistake 🤔👀
I can't make this any more clear! No team in the NBA will trade for Kevin Durant without his full commitment & consent. He wants to be in Phoenix, which we've been saying on the
@Coast2CoastPod1
for weeks now! Come up with all the trade packages you want, but that's the situation
Can't say enough about Devin Booker tonight! This is one of those performances that you look back at down the road as a turning point! This man might have literally saved our season because there was a moment in the 2nd quarter where it looked like our season was in trouble! GOAT
Can't stress this enough, KD absolutely loves Monty Williams! I'm told from people close to the situation that aside from wanting to play with Devin Booker, Monty Williams is the next biggest reason he has Phoenix as his preferred destination. Everything Counts in this League 💯
I don't think the Suns are done! The buyout market is going to be extremely interesting but that will take time to unfold. This also turns the Suns into the most attractive destination for players around the league in the off season going forward. Going to be exciting times folks
Suns get the best of both worlds with Frank Vogel Head Coach and Kevin Young now staying as the highest paid Assistant Coach in the NBA. The Suns have handled this situation just about as good as you can ask. Now the process of reconstructing this roster around Book & KD begins🤝
Beal's preferred destination is Phoenix! Not many teams are capable of matching salaries & competing for championships aswell. Suns offer everything Beal wants with Book & KD! This is VERY SERIOUS with the Suns in the top spot per sources due to NTC and Beal's desire to win now!
Kevin Durant has real interest in the Phoenix Suns, weather that happens now or later is the real question. The facts are if you can get a guy like KD you have to keep yourself in position by making smart business decisions along the way, Contracts, Assets and draft compensation.
I can't stress this enough, this deal is much bigger than Ayton, Mitchell & Durant but there's serious motivation to try and get something done between these 3 teams involving those 3 specific players per source. Several other moving part and picks would be required to get done.
After days of negotiations between the Suns and CP3, I'm told by close source that a deal may already be in place. Nothing is finalized but I'm told the deal in place will bring CP3 back to Phoenix while giving the Suns Flexibility in future years!
Again I'm told the parameters of this deal are being seriously discussed at the moment but is not finalized and other players and pieces might be moved in the process. Phoenix, Utah & Brooklyn are heavily engaged at the moment per source!
Congratulations Book! No one's deserves this more than you! So happy for you and your family! Keep Being Legendary! The next Chapter is the Best Chapter! 👀🙏📑📖
Stop firing coaches and absolutely killing players like Ayton and Shamet on Twitter after every tough game! It's not cool! You need everyone to win a Championship! It's now 2-2 heading to Denver with all the momentum! Happy for my guy's and all the real one's who rock good or bad
This is exactly why you make the trade for Kevin Durant! The NBA is in trouble if they can't double or triple team Devin Armani Booker! Master Class in basketball domination Folks, absolutely incredible performance to close out! On to Denver Planet Orange the Marathon Continues!
It appears that Devin Booker has avoided a major injury with this right ankle sprain. Expectations are that he'll miss Friday vs. Denver, be questionable on Saturday vs. Memphis and ready to go for Tuesday's in season tournament game vs. the LA Lakers.
This is truly a business but once you get past that part it's all love! Congratulations Deandre, job well done Big Fella! The Future is bright for you and this organization! The Marathon Continues 🏁👀🍾
I'm told Cam Johnson, Devin Booker, CP3 & Cam Payne could all be back over the next 2 weeks. We could finally see the actual Phoenix Suns by the end of the month and the Crowder replacement shortly after. There's light at the end of the tunnel, just gotta get through next 2 weeks
The Suns were absolutely discussing Kyrie Irving but once again the opportunity to pursue & potentially land Kevin Durant was too much for them to ignore! That's the guy they ultimately want and so we're right back to where we were this Summer! Hate it or Love it here we go again
The Suns handled that Ayton situation quickly and will continue their pursuit of KD! They can & are willing to deal with the tax bill that follows. They've been prepared for this situation the entire time. Nothing today was a shock or game changer at all! Stay Tuned!
Please don't @ me with the Wojo said stuff! When Kyrie Irving opted into his contract Wojo said Kevin Durant was loyal to Kyrie and will be coming back to Brooklyn to run it back. 3 days later KD requested a Trade! Please stop overreacting to every report and let this play out!🤝
Can confirm from multiple sources that Kyle Kuzma is indeed the primary target for the Suns in trade discussions. As mentioned below I'm told a deal involving Washington & Atlanta that would send John Collins to the Wizards is the deal being discussed. Suns absolutely want Kuzma!
Can confirm from multiple sources that the Suns are interested & have had multiple conversations about Kyle Kuzma. A deal between Phoenix, Atlanta & Washington has been discussed. Kuzma has always been a player of interest to James Jones and the Suns. I'm told interest is mutual.
I'm going to say this one time only folks, I spoke to my sources and Devin Booker is not going anywhere, doesn't want to go anywhere and is fully committed to this city and franchise, so let's nip this in the butt before this becomes a bogus story! Please it's absolutely nothing!
I'll continue to say I think Cam Payne returning from injury could completely shift the balance of this series for the Suns. He brings balance and a different tempo that could really give the Clips trouble on top of dealing with the core 4! He'll be a gametime decision tomorrow!
Last tweet today unless some significant happens. The longer this takes the more likely KD ends up in Phoenix! The Suns won't sacrifice their entire offseason to go all in on KD unless their super confident they can get it done! KD wants Phoenix & the Suns want KD! Have Patience!
The Suns are having an incredible start to free agency and the exciting part is they're still not done! Mat Ishbia & James Jones are at a different level right now folks! Long Summer......👏
The Milwaukee Bucks at 9-1 and the Phoenix Suns at 8-2 are the hottest teams in the NBA over the last 10 games. Don't look now but the Suns are 5th in the Western Conference & just a half game from the 4th seed. With Booker returning & the deadline on the 9th watchout folks! 🏁👀
I know everyone is focused on the trade deadline but the Suns are quietly only 1.5 gms back of the 3rd seed in the West and finally healthy. Not bad for a team that was virtually left for dead by alot of people not to long ago. Selective amnesia is a real thing around here! 💯🏁
The Suns and CP3 are in serious discussions about how to make things work for both parties. Waiving and resigning CP is a serious option that I'm told is the preferred option from the Suns perspective. Alot of options are on the table and both sides are negotiating in good faith!
As reported yesterday nothing has changed! I fully expect Devin Booker to return tonight despite multiple reports suggesting he's out!
Closeout Booker is coming 👀👀👀
The thing that makes this Phoenix Suns team scary and unique is that they're only going to get BETTER as this Playoff run continues! Things are starting to come together folks now 11-1 with KD and only getting stronger. Devin Booker is looking like a man on a mission, lookout 👀
Man the disrespect is unbelievable!
@NBATV
leads with Tatum scoring 49, Lakers beating Portland, KD and the Nets and Darius Garland and the Cavs. Still no mention of Devin Booker scoring 51 pts in 3 quarters! Wow! C'mon folks 😡😡😡
This job by the NBA Countdown crew today was atrocious. They literally never mentioned the Phoenix Suns for a second. This was a Milwaukee Bucks pregame/Hype Show. Jalen Rose screaming Bucks in 6 and the entire crew talking about nothing but the Bucks is so disrespectful! Wowww
Scott Foster shouldn't be allowed to ref Suns Playoff games. It's obvious he has a hidden agenda and CP3 calling him out for it creates a conflict of interest. He's absolutely Atrocious and I never talk about Refs.. This is really bad
@NBA
Matisse Thybulle is a player I have my eyes on at the deadline. Philadelphia is trying to move him and he could help the Suns fill that defensive void left by Mikal Bridges. Former All NBA 1st team Defender. Perfect fit after losing Mikal Bridges. Just my opinion folks 💯
Can confirm from multiple sources around the league that there is in fact a Market for Deandre Ayton with the draft just days away. At least 4 teams (3 East 1 West) have shown substantial interest in the 24 year old Ayton!
Last thing for the night. The Suns had 48 hours to match the offer sheet but did it in 90 seconds! I repeat 90 seconds! I assure you if they thought their chances of losing out on a potential KD deal was at stake they would have taken the full 48 hours to really think things out!
Perspective:
•Lebron James was swept by the Spurs 4-0 in his 1st ever NBA FINALS appearance
•Shaquille O'Neal was swept by the Rockets 4-0 in his 1st ever NBA FINALS appearance
•Devin Booker made it to the NBA FINALS in his 1st ever Playoffs appearance and won 2 games!
Lol The NBA just rescinded the 16th tech on Luka Doncic so he can play tonight vs the Pacers! This is the type of stuff that makes you wonder! I'm 100% certain if that was a different player on a different team he'd be suspended!
Again Pat Bev pushes a Suns player in the back when the game is basically over.
@ReggieMillerTNT
condoning a cheap shot on TV is disgusting. If either player got hurt like Morris did when Jokic pushed him from the back then what? The
@NBA
can't let him keep doing this real talk😡
People giving Mat Ishbia more credit than James Jones who was being patient & put us in this situation by not panicking & keeping us in the hunt long before Mat Ishbia was ever in the picture is comical. Did Ishbia help YES but James Jones did a great job long before Mat arrived!
With the NBA Draft on Thursday I'm told the Suns are looking at ways to improve the roster including evaluating several offers for Deandre Ayton. Sources I've spoken with have confirmed the market for Ayton is heating up with teams trying to aquire the former 1st overall pick.
Lol Lebron's 1st year in LA he didn't even make the playoffs and he was also 34, KD is 34 got traded here mid-season, played 19 games and people out here saying he's washed up and talking about father time! Can't talk Basketball with everybody. These Takes are absolutely crazy 🤯
How we feeling Planet Orange? Just to be clear this team is still a work in progress! For them to play this way vs a tough Mavs team in Dallas &execute the way they did down the stretch is scary. Only going to get better Planet Orange. Kevin Durant & Devin Booker are a problem!👀
The Suns are now on the Clock, this has always been a possibility and the Suns will move according on this Ayton situation. Once again this doesn't end their pursuit of Kevin Durant! Things are finally moving, nothing more nothing less.
Ja Morant just said he's not worried about anyone in the West! He followed that up with back to back blow out loses to Golden State & Phoenix without Steph Curry & Devin Booker, not to mention Memphis losing 4 of the last 5 games all to Western Conference teams. Den,GS,OKC & Phx
The NFL season is officially over! Now all the attention is on the NBA and the Phoenix Suns are the talk of the league! This is going to be an incredible ride Planet Orange, oh and it's not a dream, rumor or fake news 😉 Kevin Durant is a member of the Phoenix Suns! Enjoy This 🏁
The more I look at this things couldn't have played out better for the Phoenix Suns. Clippers in 1st round & Nuggets or 8th seed in the 2nd round. Potentially Lakers and Warriors on the other side of the bracket and home court for Suns in the WCF if either GWS/LAL make it! Wow🤝
Dear Devin,
I've seen them all bro. Dr.J,Bird,Magic, Kareem,Kobe and LBJ. They all were GOATS, but eventually had to pass the Crown. Kobe told you to Be Legendary. Now you have the chance to eliminate the Current GOAT in the House that Kobe built. You were born for this King!👑
I still can't believe the Suns got Jordan Goodwin in the Brad Beal trade! This kid isn't a throw in, he's a really good young player. FYI Bradley Beal actually coached Jordan Goodwin in 7th grade and has mentored him since he was a kid. He's gonna be a fan favorite really quick!
Devin Booker is the Best player in Phoenix Suns history! It's not even Close, I'm absolutely in awe of how good this young man is. Thank God for that special night on June 25th 2015 in Brooklyn NY!
On a tough night for me and my family, Kevin Durant makes it a little easier 🙏🏀 KD is an absolute monster! Back to back, 40 bombs 💣 and game winning jumper to keep the Suns 6 game winning streak alive. Another great comeback in the Valley on a back to back. Let's hit the road!
I want the same energy towards the Suns, Booker and Durant for the Boston Celtics, LA Lakers & Golden State Warriors! I'm just saying Keep that same energy! The Suns have played the Nuggets better than anyone this offseason with injuries to CP3 & Ayton and no chemistry or bench!
Can confirm from multiple sources that the Suns are interested & have had multiple conversations about Kyle Kuzma. A deal between Phoenix, Atlanta & Washington has been discussed. Kuzma has always been a player of interest to James Jones and the Suns. I'm told interest is mutual.
Suns sign all 3 players mentioned below Drew Eubanks, Bates-Diop and Yuta Watanabe in that exact order 👇 Bring back Damion Lee and Josh Okogie as well as Metu a 6-9 long wing! Roster starting to fill in nicely with guys they targeted and wanted back!
Drew Eubanks, Bates Diop and Yuta Watanabe are all names to monitor regarding the Suns with Free Agency about to kick off in a few hours per most recent conversation. All three are players the Suns are kicking the tires on.
I've seen alot of Phoenix Suns playoffs games over the last 35 years. I'm not sure I've ever been more excited yet calm the night before our 1st playoff game! Devin Booker & Kevin Durant are about to play their 1st playoff game together for the Phoenix Suns! Let that soak in 😤🤯
Torrey Craig has what I'm told is a Bone Contusion on the inner knee. MRI is clean and the Suns are optimistic he'll be available for Sundays game with the extra day's rest. We might have dodged a bullet on this one. Very optimistic news from my contacts!
Can confirm from multiple sources that the Suns front office, ownership and CP3 have indeed had lengthy conversations about his return to Phoenix over the last few days. I'm told talks are positive and ongoing. Block out the noise and rumors nationally. Suns main focus is CP3!
Losing in the NBA Finals last season hurt like hell but watching what this team has become because of it is so gratifying. These guys are so mentally prepared for this moment it's crazy. Be Proud Phoenix this team is special!
Book is playing great,KD is getting more comfortable & the Suns bench of TJ, Ross,Landry & Jock is looking like a strength not a weakness. The Suns were 12 mins & CP injury away in game 2 from being up 3-1! Momentum is clearly on the side of the Suns going into game 5 in Denver🤔
I fully expected the Suns to get this game 5 win tonight in Phoenix. This series is over on Thursday in New Orleans! You can BOOK IT! See y'all Thursday, can't wait. ⏳👀💯 and yes I said BOOK IT! Stops listening to the National Media ✔
The trio of Jock Landale, TJ Warren & Terrence Ross were an absolutely impressive +38 yesterday! Warren +20 Landale +10 & Ross +8. After rewatching this game it's clear those 3 guys are a problem for the Nuggets & could really shift this series. Looking forward to game 4 Sunday💪
Devin Booker has 2 NBA Player of the Week awards this year, should be Player of the Month for January and was robbed in November. His team has the best record in the NBA at 37-9. How is he not in the MVP conversations? This is getting ridiculous. Stop moving the goal post people!
Ty Lue is a name to really keep an eye on regarding this opening folks! Things are about to get very interesting but again the amount of interest in this coaching job is going to be endless, I'm told coaches and agents will be scrambling to get an interview for this position!
I know this is a tough situation for everyone involved but I hope everyone in that arena gives Al Mccoy a standing ovation instead of just leaving the building! If you're upset right now think about what's potentially going through the mind of the great Al Mccoy! RESPECT 👑
Dam, it was just ignored a few years back in 2021-2022 if I remember well 🤔
Devin Booker
(64-18 record) The best record in the League by a full 8 games
27pts
5rbs
5ast
If you loved what you saw from Ayton tonight just wait until KD is playing! Ayton with 29pts 11rbs 2ast 4stl 2blk on 76% shooting! Booker with 32pts on 65% & CP3 with 17pts 19ast 5rbs sheesh 😳 Oh and that guy Okogie that Jones found this summer 19pts 6rbs 3ast in 40mins! NOT BAD
If you don't realize how ridiculously insane this is I don't know what to tell you! You just witnessed the greatest shooting season in the history of the NBA. Absolutely incredible stuff 👏 💯🤝👑
