The Knicks have cap room and a bunch of picks.

I'm just going to say Portland for the heck of it. I have no idea how any of this would work with cap space cause I'm not invested in free agency because of our team, but seeing dame share a story with KD and him in Blazers gear the other day, I'll stick with that.

Magic in: Durant

Nets in: Suggs, Ross, Isaac, Anthony, Okeke, 2023 orl 1st, 2025 Den 1st, 2025 Orlando 1st.

We would still keep the main core but also still have enough cap space to try and lure Beal here.

Fultz, Beal, Wagner, Durant, Carter Jr.
With Paolo being super sub 6th man learning from a GOAT as well as getting some ring chasing vets. Team could be dangerous.

What a dicckhead, If I was the owner I would not trade him and Force him to seat on the bench till the end of his contract. (Same a the Ben Simmons saga)

AdamTheGreek · Post #9 » by **AdamTheGreek** » Thu Jun 30, 2022 7:19 pm

Suggs, Isaac, Ross, Bulls pick, Nuggets pick, and another Magic first for Durant. Sign-and-trade Bamba for Joe Harris if there’s any cap space left.

Wendell-KD-Paolo-Franz-Fultz starting five.

Not a chance we get KD here. Best look at other opportunities.

If he's PHX bound with a Ayton S&T as the base, it could give us an in to help facilitate and grab Cameron Johnson.

That will teach him.

Maybe Wiggins, Wiseman, Kuminga, and Moody plus picks and get the band back together again.

To the Magic fans that want KD, we ain't getting him nor do I think the front office even want him so no need for the proposed trades. Now I do think we should get in the trade to help him get to Phx. Maybe we can throw in Ross and maybe Hampton and get back Joe Harris and Bridges. Maybe even a pick.

Maybe we can help broker the deal.

Does he have a no-trade clause?

Exactly. We need to get in that deal.

MagicHolland · Post #17 » by **MagicHolland** » Thu Jun 30, 2022 7:28 pm

With 4 years left on his contract this should be looked at as a real opportunity. Even though we’re not on his wish list. Nets decide where they trade him, if our offer is the best, let’s go.

Never gonna happen though.. And it’s a shame!

cedric76 · Post #18 » by **cedric76** » Thu Jun 30, 2022 7:29 pm

Why would you trade for this loser?

He is a bus passenger, not a bus driver

zaymon · Post #19 » by **zaymon** » Thu Jun 30, 2022 7:29 pm

I think KD is too old for us to trade for him. Interesting combination with Beal but i would prefer Beal and assets. Developing Wagner and Banchero seems priority

rcklsscognition · Post #20 » by **rcklsscognition** » Thu Jun 30, 2022 7:30 pm

Suns or Heat preferred. It's always the Heat.
