Shams: Kevin Durant lists Heat, Spurs and Rockets as his preferred destinations and only teams he would commit long term.

[who_better_than_me]

Miami and Brooklyn are the only teams in the league that can offer them cap relief. Sometimes you just gotta swallow your pride and take the L

Exactly take the Miami deal.

KD gonna end up getting traded to the kings or some shyt

 

[DoubleClutch]

Kd is a better and easier fit. Phoenix with 3 sg’s is funny

AMEN is a forward

And they’d have a nice bench with JG as their main SG

GIANNIS AMEN plus another strong on ball defender at point guard would be a defensive nightmare

 

[Stone]

Depends on how delusional Ishbia is

Think they’ve lowkey made their choice if they don’t send him to Minny. Don’t think his preferred teams can match this offer.

 

[RedBull]

KD isn’t getting any of those teams over the hump to the chip.

He’d make a great addition, but not by subtraction.

 

[Slow Moving]

Nikka better shut up and go pick his house on lake minnetonka.

 

[Miggs]

Miami aint going nowhere lol...

 

[Primetime21]

Miami aint going nowhere lol...

neither is Toronto lol...

 

[murksiderock]

This guy’s post-Warriors career is a disgrace man. From 2x FMVP to shameless journeyman now.

Yeah its wild how his shyt is turning out...

9 years in Seattle/Oklahoma
3 years in The Bay
3½ years in Brooklyn
(So far)2½ years in Phoenix

And now about to head somewhere else. I'd just as soon salute him going back to Oklahoma and finishing his career there...

This nikka got jerseys like a mf, think about how many different Durant jerseys there are, how many different colorways

Minnesota should call KDs Bluff, because everybody knows that he can't risk playing on an expiring and the deal he wants will probably won't be there at 38 years old.

Where’s the shooting going to come from?

 

[JesusFOREVER]

yeah, I hope you dont ever run a team.

Their goal is not to have 3 max players and lose next year.

• 2026: Least favorable first-round pick between Phoenix, Orlando Magic, Memphis Grizzlies and Washington Wizards; least favorable second-round pick between Golden State and Denver (via Charlotte)
• 2027: Least favorable first-round pick between Cleveland, Minnesota and Utah Jazz; no second-round pick
• 2028: Least favorable first-round pick between Phoenix, Washington, Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers; second-round pick via Boston Celtics (if it lands between Nos. 46-60)
• 2029: Least favorable first-round pick between Cleveland, Minnesota and Utah; no second-round pick
• 2030: Least favorable first-round pick between Phoenix, Washington and Memphis; no second-round pick

This means they have the worst possible picks of all those teams for the next 5 years. So if Orlando is good, they picking in the 20s next year. Its a wrap for this franchise for years to come.

Also, they have to pay a tax of $3.50 for every $1 they spend over $214 million in salary. Their current starting 5 (Durant, Beal, Booker, Allen, Richards) makes $183 million by themselves this year.

Its over for this team. They have to trade people NOW.

Yea I found all of this out after i sent that- I had no idea about the picks James jones and everyone in that front office should be fired into the sun- this franchise might be in the trenches for a very long time

An unhappy 37 year old KD isn’t something you want on your roster. He’s been toxic at his last 3 stops.

If the suns don’t care about the tax, they should just keep kd and try to repair the relationship
