Of course he does. What a bitch. Him and Booker would get along great.

They’ll recoup draft picks when they trade Durant and Kyrie.

Durant doesn't much leverage here

Not their own, which is the problem if they are looking to be abysmally bad in a rebuild.

Depending on the package they receive back from both Durant and Kyrie, they could still be able to field a competent enough team to fight for the playoffs.

That’s weird man. Was hoping Phoenix would take a step back with an Ayton trade, not get fricking KD.

Pretty much

He is going where the Nets can get the best return, and that's it.

Durant has 4 years left, what is he gonna do? Sit out until he is 39? Destroy his legacy to pout?

Per Haynes, he wants Phoenix...


Will laugh my arse off when the report comes out that Sarver passed because he doesn’t want to pay the tax bill on that move.

Phoenix and Miami are among two of the teams that Kevin Durant has on his wish list, sources tell ESPN, but the Nets plan to move Durant where they can get the best possible deal. With four years on his contract, there's no shortage of teams willing to unload assets for Durant.

Maybe KD is as tired of his shite as every other person that has played with him???
Maybe, but the reports are the opposite, that he was upset that the Nets didn't take the time to get to understand Kyrie, which is hilarious.

But even if he was tired of Kyrie, who did he think he partnering with...he shouldn't be surprised at all.

Do people still think this is actually possible?

No team is unloading their entire collection of assets for a guy that doesn't want to be there. No matter how many years are left on his deal.

He literally wouldn't be on the block on the first place is those years mattered.

Miami is going to be a hard sell since they can’t include Bam in the deal.

And they’ve broken the trade machine already

Val, Temple, Graham and Hayes work salary wise, and we have picks to throw.

I would love it, but at the same time don’t know if I would

If 90% of the board could have its way they would trade Ingram for Durant.


I think people would honestly give up Zion before BI after last season, just out of BI's loyalty and the growth he's shown.

And TBH, if we were serious about getting into the KD sweepstakes, that would probably be our easiest card to play

just a reminder

The Nets draft picks owed to Houston:

2023 first-round pick swap
2024 first-round pick
2025 first-round pick swap
2026 first-round pick
2027 first-round pick swap

Every single one is UNPROTECTED.

For whatever reason in the NBA, when a star wants out, he has like 95% of the leverage, gets traded and usually exactly where he wants to be traded.

Just how it goes.
