I've been thinking Dray would be a target just because of his MSU roots and that the fact that he is just a very useful winning type of player, would mesh well with Booker and KD.

He’s also tricky to acquire as I don’t see GS interested in Ayton or CP3. Need a 3rd team

Yeah Stephen A is right, Ayton did play pretty horribly in game 6.
Like non-existant.

KD and Draymond didn't leave on best terms as far as I remember.

I don't really recall anything from him leaving, KD was a short term mercenary for them. I'm pretty sure Dray was the one that was in his ear to join the Dubs.

They had that instance with them yelling at each other on the court.

It was Curry who went to KD to try and talk him out of leaving for Brooklyn

Yeah, Green and KD had a conflict near the end of his time there.

Dray was part of the recruiting effort, but others are right about Dray being part of the reason Durant soured on GS.

Interesting. Didn't follow that whole thing all that closely.

KD and Green did a podcast like year ago or some shit where they discussed him leaving GS. They seemed to be on good terms now.

They might be cool, but they may not want to play together anymore

They're fine. They won a gold medal together in Tokyo.

Barkley and Pippen won a gold medal together in Barcelona. Ask them how they feel about each other.

So, winning a gold medal together doesn’t necessarily mean you’re fine.

But it's far more likely to be used as evidence of them being fine than two guys who had zero history of being teammates.

I like Draymond, but, didn't we just lose in the playoffs for trying to play Book + KD + defenders who can't shoot? Won't teams just sag off Draymond? Seems like we need 3s/shooting, D, and a bit of playmaking. Draymond is excellent at one of those (D) and pretty good at another (playmaking), but can't shoot. I think that's a tough pill to swallow, especially given his age/mileage and the fact that he'll command a fairly high salary.

I am hoping some good players decide to come to Phoenix on the cheap just to play with Booker and Durant and possibly get a ring.

No Draymond, please and thank you. Add him to the list with Harden and Kyrie.
