true, but we also have no way of knowing what was offered or countered. But yes, Ant and/or Kat would be a nonstarter, same for Booker.

If the Nets are turning down a haul of pics, then yes, they are causing the “gulf.”

Please booker straight up for KD and the suns can wjn it all.. Kd is a huge upgrade on booker who you went to the nba finals with and lost in 6 if ita a ateiaght trade you cant be saying no instantly

True. They could do Booker or Kat straight up. But you know Nets want picks too.

The one team that seems to fit perfectly for KD, the team itself, and Brooklyn, would be New Orleans. The questions are whether KD would be glad to go there and whether New Orleans would be willing to pay the price (Ingram, salary/a rotation player, and maybe two nice picks?). I think Brooklyn would come away pretty good if they could get a deal like that, and New Orleans - if everyone bought in - could become possibly the best team in the league with a healthy KD and Zion.

It is true, that KD is better than booker.

But not a huge upgrade, especially when you factor in injury chances. Also, myopic to think it'd be good for suns to trade booker for KD, and would set them back quite far

Nets would be insane to do Booker straight up. Booker hasn't done jack with his team, mostly the same roster, before CP3 elevated them to the next level. Booker alone is no better than Kyrie (when he plays). KAT? What has he done for his team?

The Nets are in a no win spot with this they need to hold out for the best deal because the idiot requested a trade publicly but because he requested that trade publicly teams know that he wants out so they're not going to give anything up for him so the best thing to do is to not trade him and let kd sit on the bench and cry about it
