Kevin Durant on the trade block?

jokeboy86 · Post #21 » by **jokeboy86** » Wed Feb 5, 2025 12:38 am

If this is true that the Suns are shopping KD then it's probably cause of what Beal said a few days ago. They know they're stuck with Beal and with this current roster, KD's career winding down, and Booker they're waving the white flag. Ishbia and Jones are fools and became fools the second they made that trade. Beal basically said he's not budging so figure it out so they basically have to start over and he'll probably be the only player left lol

It really wouldn't surprise me with the Luka trade, the Butler situation, and Beal if every elite or supermax player demands a NTC no matter what now. And the players have the leverage to do this because most of these new modern owners still will do anything for an elite player since the draft is a crapshoot and there aren't Giannis and Jokics that often.

If the Warriors could somehow keep Wiggins and land KD, it'd be interesting.

But they will need to ship out Wiggins.

They've mismanaged their assets so much since 2019. Blowing the Wiseman pick cost them extra years of contention.

I wonder do the Nuggets secretly wished that they hadn't paid Murray so early(which I think they shouldn't have). With all these names that have been traded or floating around(add KD) it would've been worth it to try and pair them with Jokic. All these players are better than Murray in my opinion:

Butler
Fox
Luka
Lavine
KD
AD

Which is why we are hearing Dallas is interested in pairing him with AD/Kyrie.

KD most likely told them if we can't get Butler we can't compete. Which is why they are listening to offers.

Should be a fun trade deadline. So many big names on the move.

Why would the Suns want Jimmy over KD? Makese no sense.

I wanted to see him and Lebron join with Curry to let the greats have a end of career shot at winning a title.

All the oldies together for one last ride. I like it.

That's what Paris was.

He's said he won't several times. Besides, doing so would be a steadfast admission of failure and he's not eating that much crow even if it's the sensible thing to do.

Not happening.
Whats best for Lebron is to stay put with Luka if he wants to win championships. He can piggyback off Luka.

KD apparently to the Warriors for Kumi/Green/picks and Suns also adding Butler.

If Ishbia is smart he will seriously consider blowing this team up and going for a rebuild but he's a moron so he's going to extend KD and try his hardest to land Butler and extend him too.

As they say a fool and his money are easily parted and Ishbia will continue paying through the nose on the 2nd apron for a vastly underachieving aging team going nowhere.
