    I hate how the media don’t hold KD to the same standard. This guy left Brooklyn in shambles and is about to leave Phoenix in shambles – Both teams giving up their futures to acquire and build around him. Instead of holding him accountable and pushing the narrative for him to step up, the media are always so quick to give him the green light to just leave the fire he started and start fresh with another team. That is some major BS. KD is never winning another ring without his daddy Steph or an already stacked team.

    All the teams that he wants to go to would be a good fit because they could all use more scoring which is what kd will provide, i would say hes as much of a fit in miami as he is in houston.

    I don’t understand why the media is pushing KD best fit in Houston I don’t see them making out the second round if he goes 🤷🏾‍♂️

    When they trade kd it takes to much from the team and other player just move to the lakers for nothing some how if kd gets traded it needs to be for all draft picks to Dallas

    No dude quit bouncing stay where you’re at and fight for it. Ridiculous at this point.

    Gil is bad at articulation and he over talks without getting to the point. Also, he contradicts himself by always saying the league should be praised more but then he goes on live tv during the NBA Finals and says “the Suns need to go back to being a bottom feeding team that at feeds their fans hope. they play like a AAU team” these guys talk so bad about the sport constantly it’s astonishing really.

    Gil is such a hater 🤣 Even SAS is coming around to the idea that maybe, just maybe, the Pacers are legitimately a good basketball team. Just because we don’t fit the mold of having 2 stars dropping 25+ a night, our ability to keep winning like this for the next couple of years shouldn’t be questioned everrrry single game at this point. Obviously rooting for my Pacers on Sunday but I hope it’s close, and both teams leave it all out there so everyone at home can see what these two fan bases have been saying all year. We’re both special, but unfortunately only one team can win. Good luck to the Thunder and Go ‘Cers!!

    KD to the Cavs would fit perfectly
