Durant to Suns: Your take?

Gotta be KD: Suns win. You get a shot at an all-timer like Durant with term on his contract, you pay whatever price.

Burning Bridges: Nets win, getting a haul of picks and a young stud in Mykal.

21%
Net Gain: Both teams win. Suns get their star, and Nets start over in a big way.
29
38%
Sun Down: Both teams lose. Suns still won't get over the top and the Nets sink into mediocrity.

this is why we never award paper champions. 12 months ago the Nets had 3 superstars. Now?

Also holy moley.

Man, the guy below really hit the nail on the head, here. Exceptionally intelligent poster.

If Phoenix balks at that price, it kind of is what it is. Just move forward with the season or find another trading partner (perhaps during the next off-season).

Amazing what a proper owner will do for a franchise...Phoenix has to find a way to get Jae to suit up now, don't they. Provided he isn't in this deal.

CP/Book/KD/Jae/Ayton....

Did the Suns just become WC favorites?

Nets not taking the two firsts unprotected from LA feels silly now imo

I'm calling a followup of Ayton + Crowder for Collins + Capela.

Holy ****** ****. Wow. Unbelievable. Two years in a row the Nets decide to trade superstars on deadline day.
