Kevin Durant on the trade block?

[zero rings]

KD for MPJ get it done Booth

[Dennis Reynolds]

KD to Houston makes no sense. He can't be your team leader. He's shown he's not capable of leading a team. Might as well stick with your youth and figure it out.

KD only makes sense on the Warriors with Steph. Daddy Steph will carry him once again and save his career yet again.

I'm no KD fan but this is exactly why he should avoid joining Warriors at all cost. Warriors are completely cooked as currently constructed and if he goes there and saves them Steph will again get all the credit even when going 2-13 from the field which seems to happen every other game nowadays.

He should either stay and deal with the situation he helped create or go somewhere where he'll be appreciated.

[DowJones]

How about Garland and LeVert

The Cavs would be insane to do anything with their core this year.

It won’t happen, but I think this move would make Cleveland a real NBA title contender. I don’t think Cleveland, as it is, can beat Boston in a seven game series. Swapping garland for Durant changes that, in my opinion.

[HMFFL]

The Spurs make sense for KD or Jimmy Butler. We'll see which one happens.

They went all in, failed, and now need to recoup some assets. It’s there best move. Especially considering Beal is not budging on the NTC.

It's not their best move. You can't rebuild without your draft picks. The best move is to move Nurkic and get someone useful.

Besides the GSW aren't better than the Suns and that is prior giving up assets to trade for him. The problem with the Suns isn't a lack of talent it's not having enough defenders and bigs to make the roster work. Their best move is move Nurkic for a big who can start and move Dunn for a good 3+D SF who can defend.

Instead they seem intent on star chasing. They don't need Butlers scoring they need more guys who are going to rebound and do the little things Durant and Booker won't.

They move Allen in a heart beat for KD. But I don’t think the suns are interested in a package or Allen,Okoro and levert. Not to mention they have no real picks to trade. And they’re not trading one of the guards.

Too bad Dallas has nothing Phoenix wants would like to see Durant With Thompson/Irving/Davis.

Culturally Butler is as far from what we're building as can be.

KD is a great fit for now if not long term but too costly. $51M is a LOT of matching salary. Would have to be multi team. Would cost lots of draft capital.

Heard a rumour we made an offer for Cam Johnson.

[chrisab123]

This guy gets traded or is rumored to be traded every 2 years. I wonder who is the real problem here.

[Calvin Klein]

I’m sorry for whoever gets KD, but please make it happen. Unfortunately it would probably mean getting another old overpaid guy as that seems to make ishbia hard.

[shi-woo]

It won't be HOU, they are waiting for the Sengun and Green contracts to kick in, and that will be the year they go for it with trades. I legit think they are just kicking the tires this year and seeing what they have first, just like MEM, SAC, and OKC the previous 3 years as young teams that shot to the top for a year. KD makes no sense for them at this point.

I think Warriors make sense, but not for Green/Wiggins/Kuminga, that is absurd. There is no point in even doing that trade without Green still on the roster, or just better defenders in general. Something else would have to come back for the Warrios.

Trace- Looney
KD- SloMo
GP2- Moody
Podz- Heild
Curry- Dennis

That team is one major piece away still. They would need someone like Wiggins, or just a solid defensive wing. Not enough defense and shooting.

I think if KD is available some team should go for him though. f I was Denver I'd be offering MPJ, Zeke, Saric and 2 firsts for the chance to reunite KD and Russ next to Joker. That would be insane.

Other than DEN I and GS, I don't see a team that would even want KD, unless Suns are willing to do a strait swap with someone like Jokic and Love in the deal.

More teams like MIL and DAL need to make that call and see where the Suns are at though, KD as a #2 is crazy nice, and can help carry a team to a title

He is clearly being pushed out here, our team is just not working. Look to cash in on him while he still has value, hope there is a team desperate enough to take on Beal and then build a new team around Book

[jmnvcavs]

Send him back to the Thunder

You're discounting that Ime is the true leader of that team and keeps everyone in check.

[vxmike]

Think about this. Butler has low value and won’t cost much to get.

Suns can trade KD and they’ll up with like 5-6 FRPs including the ones they have already plus some decent players. They can get Butler and have plenty of assets left to acquire another star. They can grab someone like Ingram, Lavine or Zion even.

They’ll be in cap hell with Beal and Butler but if Ishiba doesn’t care he can put together and interesting team the next couple years.

I’m just saying there is a pattern. Brooklyn he wore out his welcome, GSW he was wearing out his welcome, and now the Suns are pushing him out. There’s also a reason why dudes break up with Taylor Swift too. All examples of just not worth it. Although it’s absolutely hilarious that GSW is trying to get KD back.

[Warriorfan]

Warriors are undefeated when buddy Hield scores 18pt which means an effcient secondary scorer could make a big difference for GS.

GS plays well against OKC and Bos. Getting GS out of play in mediocrity would repair a lot of KD HOF championship credentials

[axeman23]

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.

I mean, Ishbia's obviously not an idiot, he didn't trip over a sack of money and hold onto it. But he may be too much of a "basketball fan" to be a majority owner? I mean, we see with Dallas the opposite can also make you a suspect owner. Gotta find the balance...

Being uber rich does not equal being smart at everything. That is clearer now more than ever.

Ishbia has shown he is clueless about roster construction since day one and is yet to prove otherwise.

[axeman23]

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

Dray and James Butler would get in a fist fight for sure lol
