Butler + Jovic fits into KD's salary. They can't send more than one player.

For some reason in the new CBA, there's a loophole? Because it's been said they "could" include their rookie R.Dunn which they don't want to do.

Plan A failed of moving Beal; they have to go with Plan B of moving KD.

If you believe in Ware... I'm sure you could send Bam and some other contracts to get KD. They don't need another shooter, so Herro is likely out of the picture, they can't move Beal and don't want to move Booker.

If PHX is really entertaining taking in Jimmy and sending KD out, then why not just cut out GSW altogether and sweeten it with our 1st & a prospect. seems weird that we’d facilitate for GSW when PHX would just want Jimmy in the end. ultimately depends on where KD is willing to extend

Significantly better prospect than Kuminga. It ain't close!!!


Him, plus Ware and a 1st is better than whatever Dubs are selling right now to our front office.

Not only is Ware not getting moved for KD, the trade doesn't even work. Jimmy+Jovic+Ware is too much salary for Phoenix to take back since they cannot trade more than one player at a time.

Kinda intrigued by Durant. If heat gets Durant can they do a 1/2 yr rental and then trade him in off-season? Like to gs

I think it's close between them. Jovic likely a better role player fit with star players given I don't expect either to be the star themselves. Both clear Jabari Smith tho lol

I think the Warriors are looking to get more draft assets to go along with Butler to pry KD away. They possibly could get some draft assets out of some of their younger players, then get the expiring's/decent players to send to Miami for Butler. Miami would probably end up with decent short term players and a couple of draft assets for Butler and contract savings, basically what they've been asking for.

Phoenix isn't trading Butler + an asset for KD, they're wanting as much as they can get for KD and GS is trying to give them that.

We've gotten to the point where teams are heavily protecting SECONDS?
