Still hoping that it’s the Rockets somehow
What would you want from the Rockets?
Jabari and at least 2 of our picks back.

That is not enough. What would be your full trade package?

Once the Heat add Ware-and they will, it'll Trump any non Castle/#2 offer the Spurs put forth.
Spurs will need to step it up if you want him IMO. The Keldon Johnson/Barnes/#14 poop platter won't get it done, I'll bet.
Do you honestly think there was ever any prospect of the Spurs trading #2 or Castle for a 37 yr old KD?
Zero chance a young team like the Spurs are trading the #2 for KD as it doesn't fit the timeline.
Suns would be doing good to get #14 for KD with matching salaries.

Think to make the money work as a 2nd apron team, it'd need to be green/jabari/jock + as many picks as we can get. Then flip green to a 3rd team for a center or more assets.
Now idk what the logistics are if we can get under the 2nd apron by getting rid of milic/Martin and can somehow bring in Brooks or something.
Rudy/Donte+ package from Minn probably the best short term offer on the table but I'd rather get more picks as we aren't winning with Rudy anyway

This is the only time I’m going to side with bullISHBIA. Either shell out good players and picks or kick rocks needs to be the message to other teams.
I’m sorry but Socha and Vessel and the 14th pick is unserious trash. Go pound sand Spurs.
I haven’t seen a good trade suggested yet for the top 15 player in the league who still averaging 25+ points a game on this board yet. Some people acting like he’s two feet away from retirement and can barely play.

Look up his advance stats, his stats and efficiencies.
He's definitely a case for top 15 player if not higher.
He was a top 5 player last year most of the year by most people even media. This year his stats are the same except the Suns were terrible and even Michael Jordan prime couldn't save a horrific team with worst fitting players ever.
Stop selling KD short. He's an immense talent and similar to LeBron when he was 36 years old. KD can play until he's 40.
A handful of teams are in contention for him with the Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves being two of them, sources informed The Republic.
ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on Friday, June 13, that the Rockets, T-Wolves and Miami Heat are the current front-runners.
A league source informed The Republic the Rockets would be the ideal landing spot for Durant, saying they need a “go-to guy” in the fourth quarter and have draft picks and young players to offer the Suns in return

Awesome. Rockets can send over those young players (not Green) and picks.
It's the Suns. We will. But I do like the optimism.Jesus_H_Macy wrote:Saberestar wrote:Gambo is saying that San Antonio is out of the race unless they put Castle or #2 on the table because the other teams have better offers.
That's very promising. Maybe we aren't going to get shafted on this trade like I've been expecting...

And they can trade $50m of salary to another team to recoup assets and we will take on the returning salary

Would have been done yesterday if Rockets offer that.
I bet Rockets are only offering Pick 10 right now and angling to add another pick as negotiations pick up... but Suns need 3 picks to budge. I think Pick 10, Suns 2027, Suns 2029.... and salary filler, and Jabari Smith.
