Who should go all-in on Kevin Durant?

Nobody. What they are asking for will gut your bubbling playoff team or contender. Hes has 2 prime years left given his injuries and the decline starts.

Which means the nets are asking for more then KD is worth… and eventually will accept fair offer if KD continues with his trade request

That will depend on low they are willing to go

It depends on KD really.

That to but it’s not like they would take Russell Westbrook for him for example

The Clippers lowkey should explore trading for both KD & Kyrie. They can offer a deal built around PG13 which is way better than anything else out there that's realistic. Nets get an all-star top 10ish player to stay competitive, while dumping Kyrie in the process. Clips go all-in on Kawhi + KD.

Durant + Irving for George + Jackson + Powell + 2028 first round pick.

Clippers 2023

Irving - Wall
Durant - Mann
Leonard - Kennard
Batum - Morris
Zubac - Covington

Nets 2023

Jackson - Curry
Powell - Harris
George - Warren
Simmons - O'Neale
Claxton - Griffin

I like the idea on paper but trading a guy that’s happy to be there and a great player for 2 malcontents to a team of guys that seem to be harmoniously going about their business? If the clippers have their health they are favorites- why mess with it for two guys that are hurt as often or opt out of games as often as clipper stars AND they are both A-holes?

solid points. I revised the trade in a later post to include Ben Simmons instead of Kyrie. I now wonder if the Clippers could just get Simmons and keep PG13. I like the Simmons fit on the Clips.

I have been trying to find a scenario to bring Simmons to the Clips and so far, nothing has resonated. Personally, I would rather have George over Durant as they are comparable but George is happy here. Simmons is a disaster for any team not in Los Angeles.

Simmons for Norman Powell + Morris Sr (or Reggie Jackson) + Boston Jr + 2028 Unprotected Pick is the best the Clips can can do.
