OKC isn't moving Williams for a year or two of KD let alone adding Dort to it plus picks.
I think KD to OKC makes a lot of sense but OKC isn't going to go crazy just to outbid Houston
While I understand not wanting to trade JWill, but KD is a clear step up from him. It’s an “all in” move if you think he is the final piece to a championship.
I also think Hartenstein is positionally more important to OKC based on what he provides, compared to JWills offense at the 3/4.
The good thing is, there are many different types of trade packages OKC can put together for Durant, because they’re flush with assets.
If they were the same age, or even close, then it might make sense. But Jdub is 23 and KD is 37.
It's far from clear that KD is still better than JWill. How much of KD's decline (especially on defense) is due to age vs the Suns' malaise isn't clear but he hasn't been playing better this season and next year he'll be another year older (and JWill has another year to improve).
