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

Can KD be traded to the Pacers or OKC right now?
He'd make a lot of sense in Indy but it'd be tough to pull off a trade without Turner in a sign and trade. I'm not sure that's even allowed with the new rules.

As they should. KD is 37 not 27... :camby:
Yeah, I would too. The Suns have this false notion that they will get back what they traded for him and they won’t. He’s older, injury prone and this is a new CBA. Ishiba is an idiot. He made that Beal trade for no reason and fukked up his team. And he’s trading Durant who has been his best player because he has no other choice. A wise man would cut his losses and blow it all up.

I don't even think they should have gotten rid of ayton. some gms are obsessed with this idea that you need three superstars. two stars with a solid roster around them is fine too. They fukked up their window chasing a big 3.

I have to assume Phoenix would have to send Royce O’Neal to Toronto to make the numbers work.

Phoenix should easily take that Minny deal regardless of what Durant feels



Suns are a 2nd apron team so they can’t combine salaries unless the trade brings them under and they can’t take in more salary than they send out

So that Raptors deal isn’t possible, they can do #9, Poeltl and one of Barrett/Quickley but can’t do all 3 or even just Barrett & Quickley

PHX need to make that Money trade if Houston or SA ain't playing ball. Durant can go on a one year run with Ant and decide where he wants to finish since he's so picky.

If this is real, Phoenix needs to take that Minnesota deal immediately.

That Toronto deal is a salary dump for the Raptors. :dead:

They just gave Quickley that ridiculous contract last season. :dead:

Minnesota would become immediately worse with that Durant deal. No wonder he ain't trying to go there :mjlol:
If that report is true, Phoenix should've taken it immediately. Lot of people shyt on Gobert but he'd at least make their team defense average. Dillingham isn't ready to be a starting PG in the league yet but at least they can platoon him with Tyus. Throw in a shooter like Donte and the 16th pick... I really like it.

Are they winning a title? No, but at least they won't be an embarrassment

Raptors going to trade their starting 2 guard, point guard, and center for one year of Kevin Durant :dahell:

Numbers don't even work for that Raptors trade unless Phoenix does something to match salaries.
