Official: Where does KD end up next week?

[TeamTragic]

Randle, DDV, Dillingham, 31, filler guys (not TSJ or Clark and hopefully not Miller).

Nope. Report just said Wolves are willing to part with young talent to make this deal happen.

If it is true that Suns want win now players, cap relief, and assets via young prospect or picks,

Then

Our reported package of Vassell - the best prospect offered, telling itself, Barnes and his expiring contract, and the 14th pick satisfies the requirements.

You're not getting 2 or Castle or even Sochan who PATFO are reportedly high on.

I wonder whether the Suns are like well these other teams are offering xyz and they are doing it willing to risk KD not re-signing so pony up.

I think we have our price and are willing to walk away but yeah definitely telling that Vassell is the highest upside player reportedly offered from teams discussing a KD trade.

I still hope we land KD but only at a reasonable price.

[Mr B]

Sounds like KD will be traded by next week and if not by next week, then for sure before the draft the week after.

So based on the reports, sources and word on the streets, where is KD going?

Early this week it sounded like my Spurs were a done deal (per Bill Simmons erroneous reporting), but now it seems like Timberwolves, Miami and even Houston are giving better offers.

In a perfect world KD would end up in Miami and Giannis would end up in Toronto.

I think so but then who does Minny have at C? They get the best player but create another issue with I don't know how much money left to address it.

Suns can address starting C in other ways than just the KD trade.

Wolves can re-sign Naz, I'm sure he wouldn't mind starting and getting a little pay bump.

I like Naz a lot but an undersized rim protector who doesn't really rim protect all that much, not rebound all that much for his position is a big change from the anchor that Rudy is down low.

Sounds like BroLo may opt out, get him for a vet min.

I'd assume the deal with the Wolves would be Gobert,Divincenzo & Dillingham for Durant.This gives the Suns most of the stuff they want in win now players and a center while also a young asset in Dillingham who you could view still almost like getting a 1st round pick this season.

As far as the Wolves side of the trade after they would clearly need a starting Center & Point Gaurd along with another big off the bench.You could and again assume use Randle in sometype of sign in trade and possibly NAW as well go fill in those spots.

Ball
Edwards
McDaniels
Durant
Clapton

Bench: Reid,Shannon Jr,Clark, #17 and whatever back up big.

Could be a legit contender or totally blow up in there face with Ball & Durant's health issues.

Personally as a Wolves fan I wouldn't do the Durant trade and would look to make a less expensive move like bring in Derrick White from the Celtics or big man like Jackson Jr or Allen.

[Rustyman]

I've always thought that Houston is the best place for him but if I am Phoenix, I do not trade him unless I get front-court help and that means Jabari plus picks.

[Rustyman]

DUPLICATE!

Bravo. That is exactly who Naz is - a trimmed down big wing.

I think MIN would really miss Gobert if they traded him. Regardless of casual viewers disregard, he is always one of the best players in Net Rating. If the Wolves keep Naz, (and MIN fans love the guy), Rudy becomes even more important, because the only time Naz can play with a big, it’s that he’s learned to play with Rudy (+11.8 Net Rating).

The problem with Rudy ISN’T Rudy. He is a very good perimeter defender, and one of the NBA’s best under the rim. Offensively, he simply needs Ant to learn to run pick-and-roll, and Rudy’s massive screens and lob finishing would be beautiful. Gobert is also top 5 in rebounds, for a team who’s rebounding slipped greatly.

Good stuff.

MIN doesn’t have a rotational back up center behind Gobert after the KAT trade, so if that’s the package, MIN needs to fix its roster with three PF’s (Durant, Randle, Naz Reid). It seems a likely third team would be BRK, who get paid off for their cap space and for Nick Claxton. A young Claxton even has a couple years experience with Durant in BRK.

I would prefer that MIN to keep Gobert, send out Randle to whoever would give the best package, use some of those assets to get Claxton and the cap space (to make sure PHX and MIN don’t cap themselves at the first apron by taking in more than they send out), and send PHX Claxton with the package. Gobert-Durant AND Gobert-Naz would be great pairings.

We’re hearing more and more about Lonzo Ball, and he might be good fit with Ant, and a team with championship ambitions. A 27 year old Lonzo Ball may be a good middle ground between 37 year old Mike Conley, and 18 year old Rob Dillingham,

Gosh, idk how much i love the idea of 5'10" 80 year old Eric Clapton starting at the 5, seems risky.
