I wouldn't get too caught up on the Designated Rookie Extension stuff.
The Nets can still trade Kyrie before KD, which would likely clear a path for them to acquire a guy like Adebayo.
Simmons is the problem, not Kyrie…but yes they can trade Simmons first

Shit. I forgot about him.
But can you really blame me for that?

What leverage does KD have in where he gets traded to?

Being a top 5 player in the league?

Maybe not a lot, but if he tells a team he’ll just ask out if they trade for him, it might lower the offers from those teams.

He could threaten to retire. Or tell every other team that he doesn't want them to trade for him. But with 4 years left on his contract, he doesn't really have much real leverage.

Both my outdoor and indoor basketball shoes are the KD model. It's destiny.

How is that better than Ayton, Cam and Bridges though? Lakers fans are high AF.

I don't see how AD, represented by Klutch (LeBron), would trade him to Brooklyn.
Also, KD doesn't want to play with LeBron. He views LeBron as his primary legacy rival of their generation. That was established a long time ago.

Why is Bobby Marks on espn saying Miami can’t do it because Bam isn’t tradeable for KD right after saying Brooklyn would want Booker in any trade?

That was painful to watch. Biggest day of the offseason and their cap guy is just making shit up.

Gambo says the Suns are not willing to gut the team for KD. To me that means the Suns are not willing to give up Ayton, Bridges, and Johnson.

Cam is clearly on the table. We know how they feel about Ayton.

If the Nets don’t want Ayton and we won’t give them Booker or Paul, it will take almost every other player we have under contract to match Durant’s salary.
Paul + Booker + Durant + Ayton + 11 FAs on vet min deals… is that a contender? Ugh.
