Where does KD get traded in the offseason?

[seattlefan75]

Pretty sure that his point is that a superstar laden team can play team basketball.

Well thats not what I am saying fool

Denver probably won’t do it, but they do need a playmaker not named Jokic or Murray… KCP is an uninspiring option at the 2. A big three of Jokic/Murray/KD will allow P-Wat and Braun more room for error in their respective development.

Booth should at least gauge Phoenix’s interest.

You said yourself Booker and Beal don’t play enough D… For that reason they’ll have no interest in D-Lo. That said, that scenario is still more likely than Ishbia dealing Booker. Just won’t happen.

At 36, the window of acquiring valuable picks for KD has passed… MPJ/Gordon is the best they’ll ever get.

This post is aging beautifully right now… Denver obv. needs a third playmaker.

If Durant becomes further disgruntled - He and Nassir Little’s buster contract for MPJ, Gordon, and a second rounder…

Thoughts @The Q ?

No reason for Denver to overreact. Gordon is a nice fit and MPJ is still a sniper. Minny is just a bad matchup with fresh legs and it's still not over

We can stop Durant too

The KD Warriors were as superstarry as it's possible to be, and they played a beautiful version of team basketball on both sides of the ball.

You don't know what you're talking about.

He just used a bad example. KD-Warriors were a superstar team but they also had amazing chemistry. Not many teams in history can say that.

The main point is wrong honestly, the Suns tried to pair superstar. KD-Book and Beal it just didn't succeed so nobody talks about it. If they were winning everyone would hate that team passionately I am sure. But to the other point, there are some up-and-coming teams that built their teams through the draft and maybe acquired another piece that have a bright future. I can respect a team that builds most of it's core through the draft.

It’s more fun when the team drafts the core like the Warriors did and like Minny and OKC seem to have (if they win titles). But winning is winning and nothing wrong with bringing in stars to win also

Spurs with Wemby would be a good move

LOL.

What are the Spurs giving the Suns in return? Both teams badly need a PG (point guard, not Paul George lol). Gonna take a lot of that draft capital and about $40M in salaries. I don't see much else on that roster that would entice the Suns.

Maybe Utah could get involved with Markk and either Sexton or Clarkson? Not much left to build around if they move Markk though...

You gotta include CLE in there. I mean they did start from scratch with Garland and Mobley. Allen was a "side piece" on a big trade. Then they added Mitchell. You are right, it is more fun. You watch the team start from the bottom and grow.

Trade KD to Philly

 

[shopson67]

KD for a BI package?

BI has always been looked at as a poor man's KD so maybe

Tough to put together a package that makes sense though. Both teams' biggest needs include PG. Likely has to involve more than 2 teams. The Bulls seem to have some PG excess, maybe they could get worked in.

Dude will never be a leader on a winning team. He's a mental case.

He can't be a #1 alpha leader on a title team, correct. He can be the best overall player on one (which he has done twice), although in that case he was only barely the best player on the team. And he might be too old for even that now.

They only have Embiid, Maxey and Reed under contract this summer....right?

Who you trading for him?

He's like Tatum imo. A great player but needs a leader on the team with him.

5 first round picks and Philly can take on all of his salary without them taking any back.

Seems it was more or less alluded to by virtue of them firing Frank Vogel after just 1 year as the proverbial fall guy.
Though I'll admit he was a bad fit, but he wasn't the underlying problem on that team.
Their problem was a glaring lack of team chemistry which he never course corrected, and eventually only went through the motions when it became apparent no one was on the same page.
