If Steph wants to win another chip, it’s not gonna be with Golden state. So he has to decide what he wants, does he want to be a lifer like Magic, Bird, Kobe, Duncan, Dirk etc or does he wanna go somewhere else and potentially win chip number 5.

There’s no real trade to be made that makes them a championship team.

KD speaking facts

"I feel like fans only want free agency and drama and only care about playoffs and Finals and what that means for somebody's legacy," he said. "Then they get programmed to just think about that, which has made them not want to care about the regular season."

But he also doesn't blame them, in a splintered media environment where the NBA is competing for eyeballs not just against other TV shows but also against streaming networks and social media platforms.

"So to consume a January night game -- Charlotte Hornets against the Atlanta Hawks or Phoenix Suns against the Golden State Warriors, that's not on national TV? You might just follow the stats," Durant said.

"My thing is you can't s--- on the product and think that people are going to value that product like some of the shows do. We all supposed to be on the same team. But it feels like everybody is clashing right now. Trying to get more attention. Everybody, instead of just all trying to push the game in the right direction."

Heat can't trade Jimmy, even if he/they wanted to.

He's 35, can't stay healthy, isn't a top-tier player and is making $50m on an expiring (player option next season). You'd be hard pressed to find a team that's willing to give up enough assets to make that work. It'd be hustling backwards.

Think there might be a riot in Sacramento if they traded a beloved franchise player to the Lakers :skip:


Lakers got 3 unprotected picks to dish out and fox will be an expiring next year. They don’t really have a choice
