KD forcing the Nets to give KI that max money.

Maybe the Knicks get involved in a 3 team trade involving Dallas where Knicks get Brunson(S&T), Dallas gets KD, and Nets get Randle, Dallas 2 future 1st round picks and Knicks 1 future 1st round pick.

That opens the door for the Knicks to sign Beal outright.

I am a Suns fan.

I do not want him in the team.

I don't think any player, should be allowed too have his say on where they'd like to be traded regardless of how long they've been in the league -If you want to be traded that team should be able to trade them to where ever they like, on who ever offers them the best deals.

So sick of players saying they'd like to be traded too XYZ teams and almost always getting their way.

CP3 & KD would be nice to see. Add Book in there and that's looking nice

I completely feel the same. These ahole stars knows that by listing the teams they want to play with, other teams will refrain from offering much as they would not want a disgruntled superstar in their team. This is also why NBA is so lopsided as some teams hardly improve because stars simply do not want to go there. League should make new rules to prevent this from happening and prevent stars from dictating trade destination.

I had previously said the Suns would be good for him. But I think for his legacy a team that offers him the chance to stay and win for at least three years would be best. And that's not the Suns.

His legacy is taking a hit now. Hopefully he can stay somewhere for a while and find a home.
