The Kevin Durant Problem

Gimme.

Yeah, no wonder we told San Antonio to take a hike

Gimme.

Id honestly be over the moon with that return.

It’s probably more just KD trying to force Miami’s hand through his spokesman (Eddie) pressuring them to give up the farm for him.

Couple trade ideas with the Heat.

Trade 1.
Heat- KD, Royce, Cody Martin(suns pick up option.)

Sun- Wiggins, Ware, Jovic, Jaquez, Duncan Robinson, Picks


Trade 2.

Heat- KD, Royce, Jay Huff

Grizzlies- Andrew Wiggins, Ware

Suns- Jaren Jackson Jr, Jovic, Jaquez, Duncan Robinson, Picks from MIA

[Flagrant Fowl]

I'm surprised this is trending in the right direction for us with the report of the Suns being willing to trade with any team, not only KD's preferred landing spots. Yet I'm still holding my breath the Suns won't make a bad trade.

4 real players and draft picks is too good to be true.

Nice proposals Wally…. Both of those would be fantastic and feel like we definitely could remain competitive.

[Kryptonic]

Random thought…. Curious how much money is made from the media every time KD is on the trading block.

My understanding is that because we are in the 2nd tax apron, we cannot combine KD and Royce and other assets in a trade like your proposals. We have to trade KD all by himself.

[JeremyG]

Hmmm…

Both of these trades gets us under the 2nd apron by like 13 million

Both of these work in the Spotrac trade machine.

If Memphis is getting looped into the KD trade in any way, we need to find a way to get our 2026 pick back.

[iLLmatic]

Hmmm…

I feel like that increases the value for KD.

[Split T]

If Memphis is getting looped into the KD trade in any way, we need to find a way to get our 2026 pick back.

That would be awesome…a dream would be coming away with JJJ, a 2025 lottery pick and our 2026 pick. We’d probably have to add say our #29 pick to someone, but if you can get Vassell/Sochan/Barnes/14…send vassell/sochan/29 for JJJ/2026. Who says no?

[Mori Chu]

How about we trade Grayson to Memphis for bantha fodder salary and our 2026 pick back?

[Split T]

Maybe Grayson and #29 could get that…unless you take back a bad salary

[specialsauce]

No thanks to JJJ

[TOO]

No thanks to JJJ

I'm Ott pilled, I think he use JJJ like Mobley in Cleveland.

[Flagrant Fowl]

JJJ would be a fantastic return in a KD trade.
