The biggest trash offer I have ever seen. We are not giving up picks for KAT or Cam.

Second KD is worth more than those players and there are better offers.

Dude are you slow. This would be the best trade package anyone could get for KD.

The entire premise of this for Brooklyn (getting PHX '32 1st) isnt even legal anyway.

[TeamTragic]

Spurs would have the best offer. Hawks have nothing to offer much like the Wolves.

I dunno man!
For the Hawks, I'd probably take T Mann/ J Johnson or D Daniels/ filler/ 13th pick/ 22nd pick/ ATL 29' 1st/ ATL 2031' 1st.

And for Minnesota, I'd probably take either package of
- Randle/ Di Vincenzo/ Dillingham/ Minott/ 17th pick/ 31st pick/ MIN 32'1st.
** Trade Dillingham for another player and picks. Randle would give us a $30 million expiring (to use towards 26 free agency), and then we could package either Allen/O'neale or Di Vincenzo/ O'neale for other players and picks.

Or
Gobert/ Di Vincenzo/ Dillingham/ filler/ 17th pick/ 31st pick/ MIN 32'1st.
** trade Dillingham for another player and picks. Gobert would give us a starting defensive center and we could then trade Allen or Di Vincenzo and keep the other.

Those are some terrible packages and even worse players. This is just trading KD to trade KD.

I would rather keep him but we are clearly moving KD and Gambo mentioning the Spurs is good news.

Who are these better players you're getting from the Spurs?

It has already been discussed and Spurs will have the best offer.

Suns coach news per Gambo:

Book sat in for the interviews only when it was the final 5.

Multiple candidates said GM Gregory was the only one who asked questions and his questions were excellent and thorough, and it was one of the most comprehensive interviews they had been thru.

Booker sitting down for coach interviews tells the candidate that Booker will assess their performance and supervise them.

Absolutely bonkers this FO.

Ishiba has got to go. Hopefully the arena is empty and ratings go down watching this garbage team.

Brunson is not letting Knicks trade Mikal and Hart.

He took a pay cut to have his buddies there. He will demand a trade.

[garrick]

Knicks firing Thibs means they likely aren't happy with just being a playoff team in the East, sadly they have nothing that really helps us move the needle and they can't trade any of their picks either.

KAT is obviously a candidate to be moved but we wouldn't be able to combine salaries until we get under the 2nd apron and it means taking on an extra 10M or so to match salaries with KAT.

Looks like we are also lowering our asking price to Houston to get that #10 pick this draft but the fact that Houston isn't really biting probably means they aren't seriously interested anymore in KD.

Yeah KD to the spurs has been floating around for months now. Not really breaking info.

If you're Johnnie Bryant do you choose the dysfunctional Suns or the overachieving Knicks?

The Knicks are a much more attractive location and Bryant would be a fool to choose the Suns over NY.

[sunsbum]

Imagine believing a Twitter handle called full court press. I hate social media.

[Saberestar]

Marc Stein

Jay Wright and Cavs' assistant Johnnie Bryant are "presumed" to be likely candidates for the role.

Bryant is currently a finalist for the Suns' head coach job.

The Knicks also have interest in Ime Udoka and Jason Kidd. The Rockets would reject any interview requests from the Knicks.

Possible trade packages for KD would be Green/Smith/Whitmore or Vassell/Barnes/picks.

Open to either. I'd like at least one of our picks back from the Rockets, preferably 2 total FRPs and if both are ours, Bobs your uncle

On Reddit, I saw a ton of Mike Malone to NY talk

[TeamTragic]

That Knicks team just threw Thibs under the bus because KAT checked out.

I don't think Bryant would want to deal with that insanity especially as a rookie coach.

[thamadkant]

Towns didn't check out... he got exposed again because he can't defend.

Funny Ayton is probably one of the younger centers who couldn't be played off the court during the Suns run back then. It took Booker and KD literally alienating him offensively with Monty's blessing got him to sulk and ruin the suns core.

I just wish the KD trade never happened.. what a landslide spiral down the drain since.
