Yesterday Kevin Durant scored just two points in the 4th quarter

Nine attempts in the 4th quarter in four games

Like Embiid. His numbers in the series were great, but when it mattered most, he didn't show up.

Does he beg Steph to take him back?

Does he take the easy road and demand a trade to Denver?

Does he join the team that just eliminated him?

Does he join forces with another prolofic ring chaser like LeBron?

Did you say "was?" No no - this is the gift that keeps on giving. 3 more years, over $150 million and a 15% trade kicker. Brad will be enjoying that Arizona sunshine!

Two of the last three years this dude was swept out of the first round. That’s all that needs to be said

Beal was traded for a bag of chips because nobody wanted that contract and I can’t imagine that he’s worth more now

I agree but his contract could be broken into smaller ones with some decent role players if a team feels he's a missing piece. I could see Morey trading for him.


No chance in hell Morey would consider Beal. That stats guy is going to be sold on a bad stats, bad contract player?

bogey +filler and 3 picks


The Suns will require some of their quality depth players like Hart or Donte along with a bunch of 1sts. There’s no way the Knicks do that trade.

Personally I wouldn’t shake up the Knicks roster for a 35 year old who isn’t going to defend and rebound. They have a great thing going for them and they don’t need a washed up superstar coming in and making demands.

thats why i said, thats all im offering. i dont break up the knicks for KD. but i wouldnt mind having him to support brunson in the offense.

none of the nova guys get traded you best believe that.

Andrew Wiggins and guaranteeing CP3 to match is the trade that makes sense. It gives Phoenix a lower usage wing on a more palatable contract and an actual PG. It's not a sexy trade by any means and I assume the initial Suns fan reaction is eff that, but once you sit on it and realize how limited the options are for moving KD and improving the team really are, it's about as good as you can get IMO.

KD is really the slim reaper - of the culture of every single team he's on. Its really incredible. He always shows zero accountability. We watched the games and you just stood in the corner with your hands out waiting for the ball like someone playing pick up ball. NOT a leader or real winner.

Duh been saying that once he was fired and not wait until now like most fans do. Maybe your Dlo can help them out since they do need a true point guard.

Dlo plus filler for Beal so the Lakers can roll out with this 3 headed monster (3 superstars on max contracts regardless of age) thing for one more season since they do seems to care more about star power over substance anyways.

Are you insane?

Two straight catastrophic failures in the playoffs AFTER blowing a 2-0 lead and backdoor swept by the Bucks in the Finals? You should definitely be drug tested - at least 5 times a week.

Didn't he recently wanted to be in the same goat convo as MJ?

It's not the coaches!! They can be good, bad, whatever...but they can't do magic. If your roster is flawed, there's nothing you can do.


This just makes me want to see Nash coach again. A team with no divas.

They don't own any of their picks so they'd need to get those back before they can tank
