It may soon be Safe to call the roster construction a colossal failure

Durant to Thunder for Jalen Williams, and Giddey - a first
Beal for DFS and the ghost of Ben Simmons

absolutely

Yes

KD wants to go back to the dubs so that he can be carried to NBA finals

Nah. Vogel will probably get fired though.
Minnesota are a decent team.too, talent wise I think they are the 2nd best team in the West (their bench is fantastic)

They were not favoured to win this series AFAIK

It seems stacking talent that doesn't compliment each other in any way isn't enough anymore.

For sure. Ant is the real deal. I agree they are the 2nd best team in the west

But when you pair names like Kd and Booker together. Even Beal to some extent. The expectations have to be higher considering what they traded for kd

Sell high? What is the worth of KD at this point? It can't be that incredible he's what 35 and hasn't done anything significant in years...including an injury history. Booker has more worth and I dont see people overpaying for him currently, contenders would want him but not much to offer, middle of the road teams might balk, rebuilders dont fit the timeline and he'd just ask out anyways.

I'm not seeing both are worthless, I'm simply saying "sell high" is not the term i'd use.

No way do I do that if I'm the Thunder.

I'm not sure how much trade value KD or Beal actually have.

Don’t play 2k in real life I suppose. Suns new owner with a reality check

Durant doesn't have that sort of value

Thunder say heelllll nooo.

PHX would be smart to cut their losses, but they aren’t smart.

If they lose in the first round, coach is definitely gone, and KD may ask to be traded, mabye back to GSW for Klay and Green?

CP3 and Wiggins maybe.

Reaves, Rui, Vando for Durant

Suns lineup would be:
Reaves, Booker, Beal, Vando/Rui, Nurkic

Lakers:

DLo, Durant, LeBron, AD, Hayes

For what? They have none of their picks and any picks they get from those trades would be at least 5 years fom paying off.

and if you’re going to try something like that, don’t do it with a 35 year old.

Sadly KD is out of trade requests for this lifetime and out of teams that are willing to relinquish the good on their roster to attain him.

That’s a hard no for OKC. No way are they giving up Jalen Williams for a guy who only has a couple years left.
