I really don’t see why teams are lining up for a 37 year old Kevin Durant. Hes making 55 million a year and he won’t win you any games. It don’t matter if he’s getting 25-30 points off good shooting, you not winning with KD at this point his career and you have to give up mad assets to get him. Very foolish and short term thinking for teams

You don't have to give up that much for KD. You just need big salaries and a decent prospect and draft comp to make it work for the most part.

KD isn't going to net PHX any of these teams best young asset in this trade

But you still going to have to give up something for him that will hurt your teams depth. I don’t think a 37 year old KD puts these teams over the top. Maybe if he signed as an FA and the teams keep their assets but I wouldn’t do it. Phoenix flipped so much to land KD and Beal and destroyed their future just a few years removed from the finals

Spurs traded for Fox without giving up any rotation pieces and some mid-picks

KD trade would be comparable imo.

Houston swapping out Green's salary and other stuff for KD won't cripple them, they have more than enough after that deal to still be legit
