Not interested at this price. Again, Durant will be 37 before next season, is paid over 50 million, is expiring, needs to be extended and that takes you out of 26 free agency, you're giving up a lottery pick and a future one (I assume unprotected since protections not listed), Sochan is a player Spurs value regardless of what many here can think, and Barnes is useful and much cheaper. This is just malpractice for a team that isn't going to contend in the next couple of years, which is KDs window IMO.

Take out the future 1st for sure. The matching salary has been argued to death. I think it should be kept simple and if the Spurs attach a lot of value to Sochan, cool take him out, Suns certainly aren't going to assign much value to the guy. So better to just leave guys like him out rather than have arguments over their inclusion. Just not remotely essential to a KD to SA deal.
