It is if some good vets want to sign for the vet min. Plus we have the TPMLE.

Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
Yeah. I’m wondering if he has something in his contract or not. There has to be some implicit threat that dictates what happens. If I’m the nets I’d want a young future first all nba team player.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 2:58 pmBeing a top 5 player in the league?Drewsprocket wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 2:58 pmWhat leverage does KD have in where he gets traded to?

Getting really worried now
Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
Weird. DraftKings now has us at -225 to land KD, but I don’t see how it happens with the Nets not being a viable destination for DA.
Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
Gambo says the Suns are not the only team Durant would accept--he mainly just wants out of Brooklyn.

Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
Lol he's got sources all over the place. Kidd and Ainge are two big ones off the top of my head.

A guy who calls himself FLEX from Jersey has been ahead of Gambo on most Suns news.

Didn’t he say suns had no shot at KD earlier in the week?

I still lost respect for his analysis after that TV segment. His job priority is to know this stuff and it was hours after the KD news broke.

Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
I wish we could know more about the Nets realistic asking price for KD.
They don't want Ayton, but how do they feel about guys rumored to be available like John Collins, OG Anunoby, DeAngelo Russell, etc.?

I think we know how they feel about Russell.

Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
haha @ Bender
I'm a little on the 'nervous' side about Durant .. what mountain of assets will we give up ... and how will he hold up @ 34 over the contract term
on the flip side will it open us up even more to vets coming in cheap?

Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
Here's a list of guys the Nets cannot acquire if they have Ben Simmons on their roster.
Devin Booker
Jayson Tatum
Bam Adebayo
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Luka Doncic
Jamal Murray
Michael Porter Jr. (lol)
Andrew Wiggins
Joel Embiid
Karl Anthony-Towns
Donovan Mitchell
DeAaron Fox
Trae Young
So back to my earlier post, who's the "star" player they can realistically get in return for KD? And by realistically I mean, the team is willing to put together a package that totally reshapes their roster and KD is happy to go there.
I'm pretty sure the short answer is; there aren't any. So now it's a game of chicken.
The Nets either have to take an Ayton-centric deal or the pupu platter of sign and trade stuff in a three-team deal.

Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
Yeah but if you are Brooklyn and KD has said where he *wants* to go and you decide to trade him to a division rival that just swept you out of the playoffs in the 1st round?
