Yeah, no wonder we told San Antonio to take a hike
The Kevin Durant Problem
Re: The Kevin Durant Problem
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.

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem
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.

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem
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.Wally_West wrote: ↑Sun Jun 15, 2025 12:22 amCouple trade ideas with the Heat.

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem
Random thought…. Curious how much money is made from the media every time KD is on the trading block.
Re: The Kevin Durant Problem
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.Wally_West wrote: ↑Sun Jun 15, 2025 12:22 amCouple trade ideas with the Heat.

Both of these trades gets us under the 2nd apron by like 13 millionMori Chu wrote: ↑Sun Jun 15, 2025 8:58 amMy 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.

Both of these work in the Spotrac trade machine.
Re: The Kevin Durant Problem
If Memphis is getting looped into the KD trade in any way, we need to find a way to get our 2026 pick back.

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem
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?
Re: The Kevin Durant Problem
How about we trade Grayson to Memphis for bantha fodder salary and our 2026 pick back?

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem
JJJ would be a fantastic return in a KD trade.
