[The Q]

Seven NBA Observations on Kevin Durant’s Next Team, Free Agency, and Chet Holmgren

There’s one potential KD suitor people are sleeping on. Plus, why the Wolves going all in for Rudy Gobert makes sense, my thoughts on the Celtics’ moves, and an early review of summer league’s biggest attraction: Chet Holmgren.

Some fun stuff here for sure

 

[The Q]

I truly don't believe the Raps would trade 3 starters plus picks. You get the 3 starters or you get the picks or a mix in between. Not all of the above.

The salary cap….exists

I’d have to play around with it for sure.

Thats way too much
3 players who averaged over 18 a gane last year plus picks

Good, they shouldn't include Barnes. OG and Trent is doing nothing for BKN. They are better off taking the PHX deal

Khem Birch fills out salary just as well as Scottie

My deal above is more than fair

But OG and Trent is doing nothing, would BKN take those two players and picks. I doubt it

 

[Stakesarehigh]

KD made a trade request here. Do people honestly think he's so fantastic he can make up for losing 3/5 of your starting lineup AND first round picks?

You end up not moving the needle enough.

KD circa 2017.. .sure. but KD at 34. No fucking way.

Well yeah that includes Barnes. I am talking about deals w/o Barnes, I don't think it is happening. If they DO include Barnes then it's probably OG and Barnes. If not, no deal is done.

Brooklyn needs to pick a lane. Either they're rebuilding or reworking the roster on the fly.

I'm all for them going for high caliber players and reworking their situation or going mostly draft picks for a rebuild. But both? Come on man.

ignoring the fact that such a package is illegal...

well rebuilding doesn't do much good for them since Hou owns their next 5 picks in some form.

I mean analysts were throwing out Bam trades earlier LOL

they're throwing out Ingram trades and I'm pretty sure he would also violate that stupid rule, just like Bam and Porter Jr do.

That' might be PHX's biggest advantage with Bridges and picks is that he doesn't violate that silly rule.

I highly doubt they are rebuilding with Simmons. I think they want to compete for the playoffs but also gain a young star so I think it could be a mix, plus all those future picks you can trade for an all-star or just draft players. Depending on the package they can shoot for the playoffs right away.

That rule is Def stupid

Yeah if TOR doesn't offer up Barnes that gives PHX the advantage, plus that is KD's #1...it isn't everything but helps. I'm just not sure any of these deals looks great to BKN now.

Those 3 work financially for KD. He makes over 40 mill.

An appropriate mix makes perfect sense. Wanting 60 percent of a 4 seed playoff teams roster AND picks is just plain greedy.
