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

[No1]

Your probably putting alot of stock in those titles with the warriors,I dont. Not as if Carmelo couldnt have joined that team and won 2 chips. Melo took the nuggets to relevancy(without having a westbrook and Harden). Got sent to the Knicks and the Knicks went back to the playoffs for the first time in a decade. Yes KD did this in Brooklyn with a sometimes Harden and sometimes Kyrie.


Its definitely closer than people would like to admit. I just like Melos game better than KD. Wouldnt be mad if someone chose KD. But history will say this is an asinine take,when it shouldnt be.

It’s not remotely close. Cut this shyt out. OKC KD was better than any version of Melo. He had achieved more and reached greater heights than Melo ever did before he ever wore a Warriors jersey. And no, Melo is no guarantee to win with the Warriors. He wouldn’t have played the defense KD did nor was he as good moving without the ball. No, anyone who understands history of basketball will call it an asinine take because it is. KD is a tier higher than Melo.


TIMEOUT nikka DID YOU SAY CARMELO ANTHONY IS TOP 20 all time? Man gtfoh.

Nah, KD isn't going to get them the #2 pick and PHX knows that

That’s what they asked for. That or Castle and the Spurs said no.

As they should. KD is 37 not 27...

 

[GoldenGlove]

Spurs make the most sense but I keep seeing rockets which makes no sense

Miami makes no sense. Let me reiterate that

Miami makes no sense. Let me reiterate that

Seek help man lol

 

[duckbutta]

KD don't have a no trade clause

What is there to "warm up" to

Suns looking like a bunch of pussies scared to trade this dude to whoever gives the best deal

KD aint do shyt in a Suns jersey but get swept and not make the playoffs and they treating this dude like he Kevin Johnson or something

Portland GM the only one with any balls sending Dame to where they got the best deal instead of where he wanted to go

If The Wolves are giving me the best deal I would been told Durant "get ready to speak Minnesotian buddy" and been shipped his ass out.

Second time he done hoed the Suns in a trade in less than 6 months

Difference is Dame had 4 years on his deal at the time so he didn’t have anywhere near the leverage

KD on an expiring contract so if he tells a team he’s not re-signing, they may not be willing to go through with it for a one year rental

Ultimately if I’m Phoenix I agree with you he hasn’t done shyt for me to cater to his wants so if the best deal on the table isn’t where he wants to extend then that’s their problem to deal with

[iamduval]

Upon further inspection. That spurs deal is ass if they’re not giving up Sochan

Yeah but what’s the best deal. Gobert and DDV? I guess


Or maybe Randle the 17th pick, DDV, and Dillingham

 

[number21]

He was the best player on those Warriors team whether you guys want to admit or not like hoes.

Thats why "the best player" hasn't been to the conference finals ever since he left while playing with better talent than his "running mate" Steph since leaving and Steph won a title in that same time frame. Also, let's add that same team that Steph beat for a chip, swept your boy in the same year.

Not getting to the point wheres hes now a passaround [Third team in 4 years]

So what do we have to admit?

 

[SchoolboyC]

Probably Gobert or Randle, #17 and DDV

They’re not getting a great haul for KD regardless

Isn't Randle a FA, so would it need to be a sign and trade?

I wish they would cause he is terrible
