re: Murder birds STILL trying to get Durant the Bitch - UPDATE - KD STAYING

He just might. Or maybe it's a bad situation and he wants to get out.

If it's a bad situation (which it really isn't), then Durant has no one to blame but himself (and Kyrie).

quote:

I'm sure they would have assurances if they made a move for him.

---

Well, he has 4 years left on his contract, that was supposed to be an assurance that he was committed to Brooklyn, then he decided he wasn't anymore. I don't want to play games with clowns that act like Durant has been acting.

So it all comes down to Durant is old and trash. He isn't worth trading for and don't want him anyway. Got it..

Reading comprehension not a strong suit?

Hello pot..

Assuming at this point that you are not really as clueless as you appear and are simply a troll. You completely ignored all of the posts explaining why posters did not want to make the trade.

34.. already had tendons go.

a record of team jumping.
this is huge. he's demanding a trade.
you cannot trust him in a problem locker room. if there are challenges we must predict he asks out.

and another thing: the connection with players matters. yes we fall in love. for example my heart belonged to Jrue. I can't connect with kd. I hope he stays in NYC.

This is a legitimate concern. He is a risk and declining. But we just handed Zion a massive extension and he is a bigger risk.

There was a guy earlier saying old and washed. So is he good and would we win with him? That's all I'm asking.

I've never heard of him being toxic and he is well liked. If he wanted to leave, we'd get a ton for him. But we are legit title contenders this year. That has to be attractive.

I'm not faulting anybody for that. I get the vertrol these discussuons generate.

I've been a fan since the team arrived. Almost every year my favorite player is shipped off, cut or let walk. Paul, West, Thornton, Vasquez, Jack, Evans, Payton, Randle, Hart.. Alvarado is my guy now. He can be traded any day. I guess I'm just used to it..

It didn't cost us players and draft capital either.

How is that not toxic?

It's all based on perspective and what you want to believe. We also don't know the particulars of what was agreed. There is genuine friction with him and the FO. His trainer was fired and there have been other changes.

I don't like his relationship with Irving. But it was a package deal and they were supposed to have a ton of control. If they changed that recently, like not extending Irving or let him play away games. There are relationships and those do fray.

Yet people get all attached and imagine these romantic connections to particular players that don't exist. Every player is movable and the vast majority are traded, some many times. Its the nature of the game..

While this is generally a true statement, it ignores any sort of personal connections in the workplace.

Griffin’s dream was always to build from ground up, LeBrons homecoming shortchanged that.

Gets to New Orleans and what’s his first task?

Find a trade for Anthony Davis. Then he arguably gets the best trade haul of the last decade-prior to the Gobert trade.
Despite your personal and inexcusable bias toward Ingram, He sees immediate return on Ingram- a guy in retrospect should’ve been the number 1 pick in his draft.
A guy beloved in the locker room, despite major overhaul in roster and multiple coaching staffs , doesn’t complain and by all accounts is the heart of the team.

You’ve shite on him all year, so, take yourself out of the Ingram talks.

We get it, you don’t want him.

Durant, a player I like despite his mental issues, is older and would create the same so called issues Ingram has fit wise with Zion. He shrinks the window.

Ingram is a star player.
Even if both are fully healthy, there’s no guarantee that Ingram is the Robin, he’s still growing as a player and could be the Batman.

The organization as a whole seems to have great affinity for Ingram. Are they all just liars or does your admitted bias blind from it?

But would really love to be wrong on that.

I'd be amazed if you could ever admit it, personally.

quote:

I do believe they talked and I believe Ingrams name was involved. He would be what it takes to do a deal, plus whatever else.

It has to be discussed.

---

I'm sure it was discussed and a laugh ensued after. There's no player out there that replaces the work put into Ingram in being the leader of this team. Doing everything you suggest just wastes time for a ceiling we haven't even got close to touching yet.

Any deal with the Nets that involved losing Ingram would be a fruitless endeavor. It's good to have your silliness back though, have a nice toke, Cheech.
