Official: Where does KD end up next week?

[SkyBill40]

Rafael Stone values future picks more than Ime Udoka and rightfully so because it’s the GM’s job to preserve assets. However if the Rockets end up including the 27’ pick, along with Jabari, Jalen and #10 this year that’s an awesome rotation assuming Amen takes the next step in his development.

Jalen Green (whether it’s PHX or a third team)
Jabari Smith

27’ 1st returned

Try again. That trade doesn't work.

"Rockets are unable to complete this trade. Since they are now an over apron team after this trade, they are only able to take back 100% of the salary they are sending out, plus $0. Rockets can only take back $45.6M in salary based on the amount they are sending out. Cut $9.0M from the Rockets incoming trade value to make this trade successful for the Rockets."

So add Londale or another filler. Not difficult.

Except you didn't say that. I built the trade out as specified and it failed. Not my fault you didn't do your homework before mentioning it. Do better next time. Not difficult.

Spurs with KD is a title contender. Rockets are also on the same boat. It makes sense why they'd want a player of KD's caliber-- even at 37 years old.

Best joke I read on this forums in a long long time

When you think you’re read all BS and conspiracy theories than statement line above shows up and I’m just LOL

I dont understand how anyone is watching these playoffs and now the finals and thinks 37 year old KD is leading a team anywhere close to a title.

Define “leading”…

How many wing combinations are better than:
KD
Amen (assuming he takes the next step)
Brooks
Tari

Great. Go bother someone else.

Just own it, dude. You didn't check it first, got called on it, and now you're deflecting. And I couldn't really care any less about it to be honest, but failing to be reasonable about something as simple as validating the trade first is lazy and pretty weak. But whatevs.

[The Master]

I remember when Dame specifically wanted to go to Miami. Even made subliminal IG posts about it. Is there any valid reason Phoenix shouldn't trade KD to Minnesota if they have the best offer?

Lillard had longer contract already signed, so his gimmicks were kinda irrelevant for his value as a player.

KD hardballing the Suns with these leaks about his fav destinations really tanks his value as there's a risk of him being a one year rental.

So naah, Suns shouldn't care about his preferences, but they won't get as good offer from the Wolves as they would've if KD had at least potentially committed to play there for more than a year.

You couldn’t care less but keep responding with paragraphs. We’re just discussing potential trades man.

And I get that. The point is, for one: DO YOUR HOMEWORK; secondly, there's a whole separate forum for trades and I can assure you there's one on this topic there.

FFS. Still deflecting. Just do better, man. That's all anyone could ask or expect of someone posting in a forum. Wasn't made out to be a personal attack yet you took it that way almost immediately. All I said was that the trade didn't work as constructed and I guess my assumption of you having checked it beforehand was incorrect. So I guess that's bad on both of us, eh? And there we go. All done.

You said it didn’t work so I said add more salary. Idk how this is still going lol.

And you still keep missing the point: The trade didn't work as constructed and you should have checked it FIRST. I'm not doing your job for you.

For what it's worth, it's not a terrible trade.

How you can say it’s not a terrible trade if it’s doesn’t work ? Something that doesn’t work can’t be great or terrible

WTF is going on here haha

I never said it was a terrible trade. The bones of the trade are fine. I just said it didn't work as constructed and that it should have been checked before being suggested.

Something can be terrible or not terrible even in a half baked state. The two are not mutually exclusive, dude.

This trade doesn’t EXIST , it’s not half baked state , it’s AIR , FALLACY, otherwise I can tell you I have not terrible bridge to sell you , it would be true the same way this trade is

I’m trying to instill in people to do their homework , they selling here half baked trades

Talk to the dude who suggested it then. You've got nothing for me. I haven't suggested a single one.

If it's down to Miami and Houston. Rockets should land him

[benhillboy]

I couldn’t care less. But whoever it is I will have a ball watching them implode on League Pass versus the teams I actually do care for. He blew away his career shooting efficiency marks at 36 yo, still not a semblance of nuance, versatility, or hustle to that man’s game. Udoka gonna yank him up on national television before he gets fired due to dumb expectations.

[Hook_Em]

Trading for a player, especially one that can be a passive aggressive malcontent would be an incredible dumb move by the T-Wolves.

No chance the Rockets give all of that up. Bari definitely shouldn't be involved and the 10th pick really shouldn't be either. The trade should involve some combination of FVV/Green/Brooks/Cam/27th pick.

Personally I'd love for him to go to Detroit. That city and that team would love him. He fits their mentality, their need for what he brings and, most importantly, his veteran presence.

At this point, people want to drive the narratives of who can offer the best deal. I'd ask KD point blank, "where would you want to go?"
