He's just a pretty face now.

According to Kellan Olson, it's just a matter of when, not if.

There is no doubt KD is coming to Phx, people like to act like he doesn't have all the leverage, but he does.
Love, Hurts.
Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
I guess KD could have a change of heart, but if that doesn’t happen, he’ll be here eventually.

Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
I think there are two really big hurdles for KD to be OK with staying in Brooklyn.
The first is a dramatic change Kyrie's relationship with the front office.
The second is Ben Simmons. He's not at all the kind of player KD respects as a teammate, and he's on a max contract.

Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
Seems pretty clear the Nets have been in full-on damage control this week and part of that is using the media. I think one reason we don't hear much about the Suns side of things is because they do a good job of being tight lipped (benefit of a small front office?
).
I expect things will pick up once Ayton's situation has been resolved.

Not sure Paul would be up for it, becoming the Center God seems unlikely at this point on his career.Drewsprocket wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 10:09 amBrooklyn is hoping that Ayton takes us off the table in hopes that KD is forced to consider other teams. JJ has to have a counter move here. My prediction is, if it happens, it will change nothing for Suns and KD to push the issue as Bridges + Cam J, picks, and expiring is still enough to get it done.
I’m not mad at Ayton, KD, and Book, and CP3 as our starting 4/5.

Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
I don’t believe this at all.
Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
If James Jones knows he can get KD for less if he holds out then maybe.
He should start offering less and less each week, so that Sean Marks realizes the price is going down, not up.

Three days ago it was "brooklyn isn't interested in picks--they want players"

Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
Don't believe everything you read on the Interwebs.
I would imagine probably 90% of the reports we see are inaccurate, exaggerated or fabricated. So many reporters/bloggers trying to scoop each other.

Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
I believe this. Four is too many if they are also including assets like Ayton and Cam Johnson. Those two are worth 4 late first round picks by themselves.
Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
If the Nets don't like the players we are offering and they want an All-Star, how about trading them Chris Paul plus picks for KD, and keep the rest of the team together?

Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
P sure Chris is part of the reason KD wants to come. Aren't they close?
Go Suns!

Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
Yes that has been said. KD wants to come here to play with Book and CP.
Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
Pretty sure Windy said "four picks and 3 swaps" not just "four picks" and I can totally see Jones not offering that. That is likely his final offer, and I don't think he is there yet.
Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?
How many picks would you trade if you knew you were getting one of the best 5 basketball players on the planet?
