I can’t believe we are seriously talking about trading for Durant again. You guys are gluttons for punishment. Almost 99.9 percent certain much like I was this offseason that Durant will not be in a Heat uniform. BK hated our deal then and they still hate it probably even worse now.

Isn't there a rule that prohibits trading a player who just recently signed an extension? Tyler is here to stay for a while until next year.

I cant even comprehend how one reaches that level of radicalization. What disturbs me is there are people defending him…

and if any of you are defending him, or saying why arent we talking about Favre, we did talk about Favre and his case is not over, we are not going to ignore this issue either..

kyrie is doing nothing for you all, does not care about you, he only cares about kyrie. Stop defending him, and no i dont think he’s a racist and he is probably not anti semitic, at least i hope he isnt.. im almost sure he promoted a film he never watched in his life, but his careless behavior shows a lack of maturity, empathy and intellect, it doesnt deserve support. He has a major problem of not able to think before he speaks. He has no feel for consequences or people’s feelings, just regurgitates nonsense that his limited brain tries to connect together.

Now look at him. hes basically on a contract year, all he had to do was continue producing and think like a rational human being.. and he would have gotten that max extension..

This honestly is very comparable to how Antonio Brown just fumbled the bag with the Raiders.. and then what he did with the Buccaneers against the Jets.. or Kanye just recently with adidas.. just idiotic.3

Durant’s team destination trade request didn’t mean chit then and still don’t mean chit now. BK will deal him for the best possible package. If i had to pick a favorite it’s probably the Warriors with there young players Wiseman, Kuminga, and Moody, Green’s contract, and picks.

Herro/Jovic/Duncan/Dipo/Martin for KD/TJ/Sumner/Watanabe works as a starting point for the deal.

It’s possible, but including Dipo makes it harder due to the limitations on him being traded - after Jan 15.

Edit: Dipo can be swapped for Dedmon, but the Jan 15 condition still holds.

No not for rookie extensions. Herro, Poole and RJ Barrett all tradeable right now

Have you seen how bad Wiseman, Kuminga and Moody have been lately though? If Herro and Lowry play at a high level, why don't you see our package trumping theirs?

Wiseman is currently ranked the worst player right now according to RAPTOR

Durant looks slow this year. Hes basically Dedmon, athletically. But, man does he have skills. Just doesn't miss a midrange.

was inevitable KD moving either trade deadline or offseason. My guess....trade deadline...

I wonder if Patrick Williams in Chicago is going to be available at some point. I'd say he's the prototype forward for Spo. Chicago fans are getting tired of him already. Would love to see what the Heat could do with him.

He’d be a great pickup. We don’t have the currency though I don’t feel.

Does anyone else find the new Microsoft version of league pass is absolute trash. No downloads for offline viewing, game tapes are sometimes 4 hrs on replayed with 2 hrs of blank screen and to top it off the kings game simply wouldn’t play for me…… maybe it’s just in Australia? Don’t know but even when I click on the help link it doesn’t work

Jovic got his nose broke in 1 on 1 work and that’s why he’s out?

Kid gets it. Shame all we have is UD left to cover the front court if he were to leave to Sioux.
