I’m just gonna assume he’s smart enough to realize Canada isn’t a serious country

Howard Beck from SI.com was on talk radio here today, had some good points:

- Nets have no use for Westbrook so if the Lakers get Kyrie it will have to be a 3+ team trade. Nets are not doing a teardown.

- While it may bum out Warriors fans to lose Payton, they really need to start getting the young 3 into the rotation in their 2nd years (Wiseman is technically 3rd year but hasn't played so...), it would have been a mistake to keep Porter and Payton not just financially. It shouldn't be a problem if the young guys can play. I agree.

- So much of the stuff being talked about with KD is nonsense, there are so many people covering the NBA, so many websites and TV hours and newspapers to fill, and very few big stories in the offseason, so every little thing will get discussed. But much of the discussion is pretty unlikely including GS getting him. Says it's not happening and I tend to agree.

- This was the most interesting part. KD is a total basketball junkie. Dude isn't even married or a dad yet because he just lives and breathes the sport. He's the opposite of guys like Ben Simmons that way, all he wants to do is hoop. He's got 4 years left on his deal and the Nets don't really have to deal him...he won't sit out for weeks let alone a whole year. And they can sell him on the fact that they still have a good team and can add pieces with whatever they get for Kyrie. They have Simmons, an all NBA level defender and playmaker, they have shooters (Curry and Harris), they added TJ Warren and Royce O'Neal, they could easily sell him on staying. His business is based in NYC too.

- Extending the idea, Beck compared KD to Kobe Bryant, another basketball junkie who lived for the sport. Kobe also demanded a trade, very publicly like on a radio station, but then the Lakers worked with him, cooler heads prevailed, they got Gasol and the rest was history. He thinks the chances KD stays are actually quite high.

That's what is tough about a guy on his level. Any kind of trade for him decimates the team trading for him. It's just one of those deals that are hard to make work.

It's America's hat.

It's America's hat.

It’s a balloon hat, at best

Long story short a team led by KD just got swept.

I'm not trading my ROY for him in a deal.

The two teams best able to both trade pieces for Durant and remain title favorites are... interestingly enough... the two teams who were in the Finals last season.

Right but see my post above, I'm pretty convinced now the Warriors will not be trading for him.

I’m not sure who can make a deal for him. If anything the nets could go the other way with the sixers picks, cam Thomas, sharpe and try to make another add
