Do they give you the impression that they want to trade him or that he wants to be traded? #1 seed in the east right now. I think he’s good

Because he’s in the beginning of a long contract (Bucks have full control over him) & he’s yet to request a trade.
He’s a different cat too, so who knows if he’ll ever request one.
He don’t even wanna work out with superstars around the league. Only his teammates.

He’ll force out like AD.

His time to move on.

If KD wasn't that damn good, I honestly wouldn't want him. Personality wise, he is not a fit in this city and market. Fact is he is mentally weak and always took the easy way out and has thin skin. Funny he tells them to grow up yet he had/has burner accounts and argues with kids on twitter lol. But If we sign him, I would tell him to treat the media like Belichick does and not say a damn thing. Delete twitter and just ball.

But that won't happen. Although the verbal wars between Durant against Bondy, Berman and the rest of those goofs would be comical and entertaining.

This whole media thing is so overblown, as usual. KD got roasted for leaving OKC to go to GS. You think he cares? He's too busy looking at his championship rings. You think KD is going to base his decision on possibly being scared of Marc Berman and Stefan Bondy? Give me a break. I have thoughts on what KD said and I don't think he's 100% correct, but at the end of the day he wants to play ball and do what he wants. KD and Kyrie can bitch all they want about the media here as long as they are winning titles. The narrative they can't hack it here because of the media always amuses me. Every year athletes squabble with the media whose only job now is to get clicks and give hot takes.

If he comes here, he’d be taking the exact opposite of the easy way out

Or maybe the media is making a circus out of this whole thing, to make KD realize it’ll only be worse in NYC.

KD is the type that probably planned on coming but won’t now just to spite the media.
