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

You think we've forgot about the Cavs series?

What about it? They beat a team who’s best player checked out in December, caused hella drama and got traded. Cavs shouldn’t be the measuring stick for shyt

Only Minnesota makes sense. Phoenix wants a starting center and only Minnesota can make that happen (Rudy Gobert). Miami cannot trade Bam Adeybo and Ware is not ready to be a starting center.

No chance Phoenix is trading Sengun and Steven Adams just signed an extension.

The only center the Spurs have is Victor Wembayama and be fukking for real.

@Stone is probably right. Minnesota has the deal that Phoenix wants but KD not trying to play in Minnesota.

Phoenix can just draft one with San Antonio's lottery pick.

It's a shame cause I really would've liked to see him alongside Ant and Jaden (best 2-4 in the league). Replace Julius with him and they would've pushed OKC to the brink of elimination this postseason.

that team barely makes it to the play-in.

I don't really like this for the Rockets. It still doesn't solve their problem of having a legit #1 option. KD at his age, ain't that anymore. Unless they think Amen can be that (i think he's potentially a #2 at best), then they should save all their trade chips on a superstar in his prime.

I feel spurs would be the best organization for him. He seems like he just wants to hoop.

 

[StatUS]

he doesn't impact winning. his stats are so empty the y

Suns were 3-17 without Durant this season.

Offensively he is still very much a #1 option .

How long is long-term, at his age?

Exactly. All this attention and media coverage of a trade demand for a 47 yr old

What about him on Denver though?

Replace MPJ with KD and they could be a problem

I know Phoenix wouldn't want bum ass MPJ though just sayin that would be a nice frontline with Joker/Gordon/KD

 

[Unbothered]

this dude aint tired of jumping from team to team?!!?

This…


It’s really low-key sad at this point how the big three of OKC have turned out and flamed out literally

And crazy how the new wave of young guns for OKC might get a chip before Westbrook and Harden

To be fair, KD didn't ask or want out of Phoenix.

He wanted to stay there for the rest of his career, but the problem is the Suns don't want him anymore due to his contract and Bradley Beal's reluctance to waive his NTC. Clearly, they're not trading Booker. If Beal's contract wasn't such a problem, they'd keep KD and trade away Beal, but that ain't happening due to his NTC.

Phoenix trading Durant is more of a financial flexibility type of move rather than wanting to part ways because of discord, etc, KD has no choice but to bounce against his wishes as he's the only piece they can move to create some roster flexibility.

Would be hilarious if he ended in Miami years after Bron.

And how long is "long-term" anyway breh 36 already

 

[Big Boss]

What is long term??

 

[stepbackj34spud]

He wouldnt win anything on either of these teams

 

[GoldenGlove]

Miami makes zero sense, KD is a terrible GM for even listing them.

 

[GoldenGlove]

People laughing at Miami, other than Indy and New York who would y’all definitively say are better than them in a 7 game series ? Maybe Boston

With KD?... Orlando
