The Mavs easily took the bigger risk. Mikal was never gonna average 25 with the Suns and no one was ever gonna know he had that offensive ability while being on the Suns. Also KD clears Kyrie and KD’s gonna be in Phoenix was longer than Kyrie is for the Mavs
Mikal Bridges doesn't have to average 25 points with the Suns. What part of 3 and D and two-player did you not understand when describing him? He's not your prototypical scorer and doesn't need to be but it doesn't mean he can't become that and if he does along with Cam Johnson continuing to evolve, grow, and get better along with the Nets utilizing those 1st-round picks wisely of course along with the fact that if the Suns don't win a title in this window they have with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and Deandre Ayton, they easily will have lost the deal. The Suns have the most simple yet difficult task at hand and that's winning it all and that's not guaranteed.
@@wook1990 that's exactly what he said lol 😂 he had his role perfected in PHX, so it's not like they were taking a bigger risk trading away a guy that averages 24,5,3. They thought they were trasing a 3nD guy
@@wook1990 he basically said that Mikal was not the same offensive force with the nets when the suns traded him so they were not taking the bigger risk, then you said that he's a 3nD guy. You agreed to him without even realizing lol. He can't and didn't everage 24,3,5 with the suns because he's a 3nD guy, so the suns were taking the LEAST RISK DURING the trade. You didn't even comprehend your own statement but sure 😂
@Crazy Luigi KD is 34. He'll be 35 next season and has been injured his past 5 seasons. When he hits 36, he'll probably be out a lot, plus a lot of teams will change and move up. It's like the Clippers. 2020 and 2021 were their years, and they didn't get it done. Teams are now better. The Clippers are older and dealing with more injuries (not just Kawhi and PG). They missed their window...
Mavericks duh what kinda question this. Kyrie has a possibility of leaving and their core is gone in the trade. Even if the suns lose Book and Kd are under contract so they can even trade CP3 and Ayton to bring Kyrie or AD if unhappy in LA.
Even if Kyrie leaves the trade is not terrible. The mags team as constructed prior to the trade was not going to win anything, and everyone other than Christian Wood was under contract beyond this year, meaning that they have no cap flexibility. Even if kyrie leaves, the mavs will then have a max slot in terms of cap space to spend on other free agents. In addition to that this year provides valuable incite to the front office on how luka plays with a second star and what style of second star has the best fit with luka. So even if kyrie leaves the trade is good.
actually mavs expected kyrie to leave this season. this trade opens up their salary cap if kyrie leaves. so they now have enough money to get someone else.
Easily the mavs idk what they smoking 😂, they automatically take the biggest risk cuz you don’t know if your 2nd superstar leaving or not. Suns got a all time great player ofc they was gonna have to give up some assets
Dallas took the bigger risk. I can't imagining a team taking a gamble on Kyrie as Dallas did. Never know when the man will decide to go incognito during the season then the risk of him walking at the end of this season
yeah thats what i thought, my god they are actually doing what they are supposed to be doing. but also mavs v suns has got everyone excited, its crazy good basketball.
THE OFFICIALS ARE THE BIGGEST FLOP IN THE NBA BY ALLOWING THE OFFENSIVE PLAYER TO BUMP THE DEFENSIVE PLAYER FOR BEING IN THE WAY WHILE ALLOWING THE OFFENSIVE PLAYER FREE THROWS HE SHOULD NOT BE GETTING.
3 years...They'll be under a microscope with an uphill battle but I bet KD figures out how to win one for Phoenix in the next 3 years, health permitting... I hope CP3 is still on the roster if/when it does happen, even if he comes off the bench. The man deserves one. Just like Jason Kidd deserved his and got it late.
I love Mikal Bridges but he's no Durant. Cam Johnson is pretty injury prone. Only played 17 games with Phoenix, and Jae didn't play all year. The picks I'm not worried about since Booker and DA will hit their prime while the picks are out. Plus 2026 the Suns will only have Booker under contract. Also keep an eye out on Kyrie coming to Phoenix
Mavs took the biggest risk. KD is under contract but Kyrie might leave. Who knows how he’ll behave even after the contract season. At least with KD, you know he’ll give it his best and be a good soldier
I don’t understand why they think Phoenix lost depth. The Suns bench is stacked with dudes that can get hot and score. If Monty handles the rotation correctly this team can be deadly.
The only person making sense was Stephen A, how could the answer not be Dallas lol it’s simple the got the better player on the better team for a longer time…cmon now this show is crazy
What are you talking about? They got 4 unprotected 1sts and a pick swap, 3 of those 1sts will be when kd is either too old to be elite or retired. They got back mikal bridges who's been averaging 25 ppg on 65% TS since the trade and cam johnson who's been averaging 18 ppg. What other trade could've given them alot more than that? I feel like alot of yall dont know much about basketball and you just know big names. Mikal bridges is becoming an all star
@@pimpnamedslickback7780 Getting all those picks and Mikal for someone who doesn't want to be there is a bit of a no brainer. Mikal is already an All-Star but Cam could be one too.
@@pimpnamedslickback7780mikal bridges could easily fall off….. not hoping he would but he could Cam Thomas has a more offensive bag than he does I feel like u don’t see what other people see & that’s their limit…..
@@pimpnamedslickback7780 Those 1st round picks are gonna be shitty ~20 something in the first round. People way overrate 1st round picks when the team giving them away is gonna be good for the next 5 years. Nets def could have gotten more if they held out with how many years KD was under contract but it seems to me they were doing KD a solid.
Mavs took a bigger risk. Agreed Bridges / Cam has been doing well for the Nets, but the same can be said for Dinwiddie and DFS . Not to mention Mavs been missing DFS’ defense.
Jalen’s tales are so bad. “You didn’t mention Jae Crowder”- Bro Jae Crowder hasn’t been playing the whole season and his value was almost nothing at that point and the draft picks were necessary to get KD
At the beginning I thought it was the Mavs because, you know, Kyrie. But, most people dont think about the efficieny with usage rate. You cannot have three scorers on your starting five. Harden, Durant and Kyrie all want the ball in their hands so that introduces a huge inefficiency. Thats why the leagues one of the best scorers, Harden, had to take a lesser role because he was the only one who could do it. The best formed Big 3 imo was Paul Pierce's Boston Celtics. They had the Truth as iso KG in the post and Ray Allen as an off ball shooter. Looking at Phoenix, with a more injury prone league than ever I think losing one star means previously losing Cam Johnson and M. Bridges. So for this season, it can be the bigger risk but for the next season, once the Suns add more depth they could be better off.
It's definitely phx that took the bigger risk. Risk by definition means the greater potential for harm and failure, and the suns have the greater potential by virtue of having given up much more value. Now of course they have higher reward potential as well because KD is a better player and locked up for several more seasons, but just just because there is greater reward potential doesn't off set the fact that they took a bigger risk by virtue of giving up much more value. Dallas really only gave up 1 first round pick, an average NBA starter, and a decent role player for Kyrie. Dinwiddie and DFS are solid pieces but at the end of the day, a non-elite high volume scoring guard and a big with limited offensive skills are pretty easily replaceable. So, the only thing of potential large value they gave up in this deal is the first round pick. That's pennies compared to the 4 picks, a pick swap, and two high-level 3 & D wings that the Suns gave up (which are much harder to replace). It's phx easily.
Cam Johnson is a free agent next year as is Crowder. Mikal is the only one of those 3 under contract next season. Mavs gave up players for a 3 month rental. Irving might leave Dallas after the season. Answer is Mavs took the bigger risk
Pat4Clippers this is your fault. Your jinxing ways are wild. Watching them from the sideline is nothing short of entertaining. You hopped on and off the Flippers wagon about 4-5 times this season.
Mavs gave up too much but the bigger risk is for suns. 4 1st picks and mikal bridges is top5 defenders in the league and he is underrated offensive player. I see kawhi in him….. if it was ayton and not bridges then it would have been perfect for suns
Mavs not gonna get past the second round anyway. Suns gambled several assets to get KD just to win a championship. Dallas going to have multiple options in the off season regardless if Kyrie stays or not. Phoenix will have to work to do if they fail. Suns took the bigger risk but the rewards will be bigger if all goes to plan.
The Mavs by far. The Suns gave up a lot but they have a top 5 player locked up for 3 more years after this year. The Mavs gave up key pieces and draft capital for a potential half season rental of Kyrie. We all know Kyrie wants to be a Laker
average players on great teams can become great on bad/average teams. This happens all the time, only time will tell whether they actually make the team better or competitive.
Mavericks D is terrible with Kyrie. they should let Kyrie walk after this season. if they want a scoring PG, they can go trade for one, like Cole Anthony from the Magic. You have Cole Anthony, Tim Hardaway Jr., Luka Dokic, thats not bad, that is about 55-65 ppg right there. you go pick up another PF and C that can each give you 10+ ppg, thats a starting lineup giving you about 75-90 ppg. Backups should be able to add 15+ ppg, so all together that is 90-105+ ppg for a team. the defense should be able to keep it down to less than that.
This is how you know media power, lil tweak to la laker and oh they going to final 12 seed going final, Durant joint 60+ win team and they not sure, its a super team team, man so much politics in espn
KD is much better than Kyrie by longshot but since his achilles injury KD is done being a full season player Ever since he came back from his Achilles injury, each year he missed at least 20 games before the All-Star game Yet again, , Kyrie will do something or find a reason to miss 20 games, Talk about Sophie’s choice
@dasher920 knee injuries from players going into his knees. It's not because of weakening knees. There isxwear,and tear and he usx34, but the way he bounces back mustvrell you here recovers fast.
Kyrie should stay in Dallas if they give him a good contract. Beautiful city w no state taxes, loyal fan base, good basketball fit, a solid head coach who’s a LEGIT top 10 point guard all time and a champ, and most importantly he has a crime partner who’s better than him and can lead them to the promised land.
Hands down the Suns took the bigger risk. Are you kidding me? They broke up their young core team (average age: 26) and could have built upon it with their 4 first round picks. No doubt, KD is the best, and the Suns are going to good great things with (if they stay healthy), but still the Suns took the biggest risk. Period. End of story.
Big difference is now he has a team. Good coach and leadership with CP3 although he’s not same. But mos importantly he has Booker than can take over games series on his own. He’s used to be the go to playa. Kyrie was always two with Lebron never his team
Why are you even using the words "risk" and "cost" interchangeably? You pay more but you also get more. KD is KD. Kyrie will be a free agent at the end of the season and... he's kyrie, you never know what you're gonna get. That's what I call risk. KD was expensive but not risky.
I respect Wilbon but Brooklyn isn’t a bad team. Sure they got a lot of young players now, and no true all stars..YET. The nets are still in the playoff race right now with a good winning record. But I agree with J Rose and Wilbon..Suns took a bigger risk, because they gave up KEY quality role players. I’ll leave it at that.
Durant diaper boy should be his name after what he did to the nets how him and kyrie used the organization I'm surprised at Adam silver David stern you saw what he did to Chris Paul in his prime trying to go with kobe stern said no
It depends on how you judge the size of a risk. Do you weigh how much you could possibly lose, or how likely it is that you will lose stuff. Let's say KD or Kyrie get a career ending injury. Obviously the Suns gave up more and in that case took the bigger risk. But what are the odds of KD being worth the trade. Pretty low. He is a great player and probably the easiest super star to fit along side other talent, he is on a long contract, and he has never refused to play even in situations he wasn't happy with. Kyrie on the other hand has shown he would refuse to play if he is not happy with the situation, he's on a short contract, he does not help with the Mav's defensive problems, and he has frequently let off the court factors prevent him from stepping on the court.
Losing Mikel Bridges is a huge huge loss. In a couple of years he gonna be a bonafide all star scoring 28ppg at great efficiency without missing a game and having great defense. The Suns just never let him shine
He had time to shine all season. There was a lot of injuries this year with the suns and he was one of the major players on the sun when everybody was injured.
🤣😂Durant & Irving are not worth the risk.Durant can't stay healthy,Irving is inconsistent,I would've kept the picks and players Phoenix gave up for Durant. IRVING&Luka don't make a good backcourt
The Mavs didn't sell their soul to get Kyrie but the Suns did for KD. There is no coming back from this for the Suns if they fail. At least for a decade! It's easily the bigger risk. The Mavs arent expected to win a championship the Suns are 🤷♂
The Mavs easily took the bigger risk. Mikal was never gonna average 25 with the Suns and no one was ever gonna know he had that offensive ability while being on the Suns. Also KD clears Kyrie and KD’s gonna be in Phoenix was longer than Kyrie is for the Mavs

Beautiful city w no state taxes, loyal fan base, good basketball fit, a solid head coach who’s a LEGIT top 10 point guard all time and a champ, and most importantly he has a crime partner who’s better than him and can lead them to the promised land.
I wonder which one he said…
SAS you wrong on this one but you trying to fight it
Suns beat Dallas today
The valley misses mikal
😢😢 we do
They playing that nav
Lol does Steven A. Ever have a day off
Da Mavs by far! Kyrie going to LA next season
We all know it.
Add Windy to this sect and you have all the Kai haters in a single room. - Omit Rose of course.
Don’t you mean Nick Friedel? 😅
OKC WHEN THEY DRAFTED THAT CUPCAKE
He gave you 9 yrs...that isxwhat you get for putting westbrook as the go to guy...kd had to leave
KD is the goat fr
Great lebron once said "f em picks"
Love Wilson but he wouldn't trade bridges for kd? Lol cmon
I think kd bring em one this year
I still can’t do a show wit a dude who took my bihh 😂
Kyrie box office, but so unpredictable. I still predict him somehow playing with Bron again
99% need to say Dallas
Hands down the Suns took the bigger risk. Are you kidding me? They broke up their young core team (average age: 26) and could have built upon it with their 4 first round picks. No doubt, KD is the best, and the Suns are going to good great things with (if they stay healthy), but still the Suns took the biggest risk. Period. End of story.
Dallas
KD is done in the NBA, playoffs come around and physicality kicks up, he'll be toast like against the Cs.
Big difference is now he has a team. Good coach and leadership with CP3 although he’s not same. But mos importantly he has Booker than can take over games series on his own. He’s used to be the go to playa. Kyrie was always two with Lebron never his team
Lol at the sun's taking a risk getting kd.
Why are you even using the words "risk" and "cost" interchangeably? You pay more but you also get more. KD is KD. Kyrie will be a free agent at the end of the season and... he's kyrie, you never know what you're gonna get. That's what I call risk. KD was expensive but not risky.
mavs and its not even close
I respect Wilbon but Brooklyn isn’t a bad team. Sure they got a lot of young players now, and no true all stars..YET. The nets are still in the playoff race right now with a good winning record. But I agree with J Rose and Wilbon..Suns took a bigger risk, because they gave up KEY quality role players. I’ll leave it at that.
Kd put the nets where they are, with the win streak, so enjoy.
What song is that I know that what I think it’s a drake song or it sounds like it
Durant diaper boy should be his name after what he did to the nets how him and kyrie used the organization I'm surprised at Adam silver David stern you saw what he did to Chris Paul in his prime trying to go with kobe stern said no
Kyrie for mvp
Mavs took the biggest risk what are you guys talking about😂
It depends on how you judge the size of a risk. Do you weigh how much you could possibly lose, or how likely it is that you will lose stuff. Let's say KD or Kyrie get a career ending injury. Obviously the Suns gave up more and in that case took the bigger risk. But what are the odds of KD being worth the trade. Pretty low. He is a great player and probably the easiest super star to fit along side other talent, he is on a long contract, and he has never refused to play even in situations he wasn't happy with. Kyrie on the other hand has shown he would refuse to play if he is not happy with the situation, he's on a short contract, he does not help with the Mav's defensive problems, and he has frequently let off the court factors prevent him from stepping on the court.
Losing Mikel Bridges is a huge huge loss. In a couple of years he gonna be a bonafide all star scoring 28ppg at great efficiency without missing a game and having great defense. The Suns just never let him shine
He had time to shine all season. There was a lot of injuries this year with the suns and he was one of the major players on the sun when everybody was injured.
You’re dumb
@@phoenix6209 Yeah but the team never ran through him. It was obvious he had another gear to go
🤣😂Durant & Irving are not worth the risk.Durant can't stay healthy,Irving is inconsistent,I would've kept the picks and players Phoenix gave up for Durant. IRVING&Luka don't make a good backcourt
KD won’t be winning in PHX, Paul will get inured or no show.
Kyrie probably will try to sign with the Lakers more than Dallas this off-season.
Paul can be a no show and they’ll still win, KD and Book alone is enough to beat anyone
@@dc81503 Splash brothers say that is a lie. 😎👍
@@dc81503 The Bucks and the Celtics are both better than the Suns.
The Mavs didn't sell their soul to get Kyrie but the Suns did for KD. There is no coming back from this for the Suns if they fail. At least for a decade! It's easily the bigger risk. The Mavs arent expected to win a championship the Suns are 🤷♂
Bro see I was telling my friend this yesterday. About the age of the suns and Chris Paul. He definitely not getting a ring
When KD has ever delivered a championship himself? It was always Steph doing the crucial work.
KD won his Chips with no help
LMAOOO foolish comment
You’re trolling right..?
What is that supposed to be a joke
Bro, don't make us KD fans look bad smh...
He deserved those rings, but to say he had no help is just stupid...
Your sarcasm got people wildin bro. 😅
