re: AD: All 29 teams are on my list,never gave a preferred destination

Playoffs will be huge for where players go, especially in the East. 2 of those 4 teams are bowing out in the 2nd round, at best. That would be a disaster in all 4 cities and could mean massive changes

You have been told this multiple times

They are the worst team in the league. They have probably the best chance, which is why people should be debating about this.

You might be undervaluing the pick, but no one else is

New lottery format means flattened odds for the bottom 4-5 teams, meaning the Knicks have about a 12% chance at the top pick.

Here's an article suggesting an AD/KD/Kyrie team up not in New York, but in Boston.

If we're in the era of true super teams, why do we assume that Boston would stop at "only" Irving and Davis? If Durant and Irving have a long-standing desire to play together, why would they settle for doing it with a skeleton crew of teammates in New York?

League sources have told me that KD has expressed interest in joining the Celtics.

If you take a step back, that shouldn't be a shock. It's generally believed that the Celtics were Durant's second choice in 2016 and more than a few observers feel that had the Warriors won the '16 title Durant would be a Celtic now. The Celtics would obviously be amenable to this too; Durant has long been the apple of Ainge's eye.

If KD and Kyrie really do want to team up, why would they shackle themselves to James Dolan when an alternative exists?

It goes on to suggest KD opts in to his contract and forces a trade like Chris Paul did to get to Houston. Boston can't sign KD so the threat would be get Horford or Hayward in exchange for KD or watch KD walk and form a superteam in the West. Horford is still playing very well so I could see them taking Horford rather than see KD walking.

It would sure be interesting.

My prediction is Horford, a young player, and maybe a 1st for KD so that GSW gets some assets and not completely trade raped.

Having Durant means “win now”, making Tatum more likely to move to NOLA as part of a Davis trade. And having Durant means Davis and Kyrie both likely re-sign.

Bump

I hate liars.

He's not being honest, he's letting Rich Paul speak for him. There's a reason we went from Lakers/Knicks/Nets/Clippers/Bucks down to Lakers/Knicks. Those are the only 2 on the list with clown show management that Rich Paul and Klutch can bully. This isn't AD being honest, this AD letting Klutch continue to make him look bad.

they aren’t powerless but they have way less influence than they think given the circumstances



It’ll be very difficult for the Lakers to sign AD next summer, kawhi & pg13 have given examples of players that might stay where they were traded, Garnett said he wouldn’t resign in Boston and we know how that turned out, plus KD won’t play next season so the field is wide open >>>>>> “I’ll only resign with the lakers”
