6'10" 240 lb small forward. Dude is 34yo today. Will be 35 in Sep. Still got game. KD will be a good addition if he can hit the long shot for 2 years.

They just need to win a title. No one will remember anything else if they do.

Huge Suns fan here.. I have mixed feelings. I feel like they gave up too much by including Bridges. Sounds like Brooklyn didnt want any package that didnt include Bridges though. Like Native said earlier, if they finally win a title then people will forget all about it. Suns new owner staying true to his word... Dude is willing to do whatever it takes to win.

I wish good luck to all Suns fans in the NBA playoffs. Many forecasters say the Suns are now the 'Best in the West.' KD should be the difference in winning more close games for your Suns.
A lot more hard work is needed to win that NBA Championship. Playing great defense in the playoffs will help your Suns win some close games. Not all players are good at playing defense. It takes a lot of energy that these guys don't want to spend on guarding and blocking. They prefer grand 3-point shots and spectacular dunks.
Based on my experience with the former Spurs' dynasty runs in the playoffs a couple of decades ago, winning some close playoff games early kills off opponents' emotions and energies before the next game. Set the tone early. Walk the talk. The greatest defender I ever witnessed was Bruce Bowen. He was known for his aggressive defense, and he was selected to 8 consecutive NBA All-Defensive teams. He terrorized back- and front-courts. He was key to the team winning some of the 5 O'Brien trophies.
Speaking of my former great Spurs runs, I noted my no-name team has won just 2 of the last 21 games. Coach Greg "Pops" Popovich is still screaming and scheming on the sideline. The Spurs are setting up for the NBA lottery and the #1-#3 picks in mid 2023. The Spurs need 2 solid defensive players. The so-called bigs and forwards can shoot great, but most are stadium turnstiles when playing defense.

Suns looked good in their first game with the Durantula.
Offense didn’t have to work nearly as hard and the defense actually looked good.
Booker probably had the easiest 37pts I have seen.
