What is your Best Offer for Kevin Durant? 

Post#1 » by atlantabbq99 » Tue Feb 4, 2025 10:52 am

Suns are 7th in the west but its disappointing they are not at least #3.

Sun will probably get bounced in the first round.

What is your best offer for KD?

Feels like Wiggins/Kuminga/2 firsts (and 2 other salaries) is the top offer and might just be stuck on pause until Dennis can be aggregated tomorrow. Maybe ask for the 2026 swap as they will probably move Phoenix up a few spots from Memphis/Orlando..

Houston with Jabari and the 2025 first (swap with the Cleveland first) with whatever else they would add, in case Phoenix wants to let GS and SAS pass them and get into the bottom 10? Depends on how you feel about Jabari and the right to tank? Probably one extra first (not a Phoenix one) and Brooks as the salary base?

Still going with GS though..

I think you could get the 2025 Phoenix first from Houston for a Cleveland first and a 2027 GSW first though. Feels like enough of an overpay to me for Houston. Then trade Wiggins for the best projected draft pick. And keep Kuminga this offseason.

All of a sudden it’s a young exciting team around Booker..

I believe Butler to Warriors, leaving Suns with Beal and Durant and a hard ceiling.

Can't send Durant to GS with Butler there.

So Rockets having missed out on Fox, swoop in for Durant.

Dillon Brooks, Reed Sheppard, Cam Whitmore & filler + 2027 & 2029 Suns 1sts returned.

Suns reboot around Booker, Sheppard, Whitmore. Can upgrade Brooks, Beal, other contracts using restocked draft capital.

Dallas should be all over this after dramatically accelerating their win now momentum, plus it would help KI sign his extension this summer...I think we can offer a very good value that makes the Suns younger and still competitive...

If the Rockets would give that much a deal is done.

Just a random add.. if Sac is willing to go over the tax (below apron)…

You could offer Demar, Murray, Lyles, Carter, SAS first for Oso and KD and fill the roster under the apron..?

I know it’s not a realistic idea, but Murray and Carter offer a lot of potential, Demar offers some stability..

The Cavs are not trading Garland and lol at you not including LeVert.

Edit: Also, the Suns would insist on Allen as he fills their biggest need.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

I can see Memphis being interested in Durant, but not interested in participating in any bidding war

Wiggins/Schroder/Kuminga/25 1st/27 1st (both top 4 protected) for KD and a couple minimum contracts of Phoenix's choosing (I used Damion Lee and Monte Morris below), with GP2 being send to a cap space team to make the $ work.

Run back the Steph/KD era for a couple years and then do a full on rebuild while you start planning the biggest statue unveiling in franchise history...

Yeah, if Phoenix is actually shopping KD this deal feels like the right move and it’s just waiting for Dennis to be able to be aggregated.
