Garland would be a good get. Garland instead of IQ boosts the lineup, and Bane instead of RJ boosts the lineup

Garland is out for 5 months and is making 40+ million for the next 3 years

Doesn't mean Masai wasn't pursuing him, just that it seems there is little to no chance of KD actually coming here.

Props TZ!

No to T-Rex arms FVV.ImaBeatDatAzz wrote:LoveMyRaps wrote:Go with the more cost-effective solution and get Bane or Poole.
A HUGE no to FVV 2.0, but i really like Bane. That would be a good get to replace RJ in the lineup

No way Bane is available, and if he is, he's going to be far more expensive asset wise than Durant. Dude is great, and is one of those players that just fits on any type of team and is the type of person you want to help build locker room culture.LoveMyRaps wrote:Go with the more cost-effective solution and get Bane or Poole.

Garland is injured - I also don't think he is a super-star; more of a 'medium' fish similar to Sabonis or Cam Johnson.

Wait, how did Cam Johnson get on the same plane as Sabonis? But yeah, huge no to Garland. Too small for playoff basketball.

There you go. They want a KD pricetag closer to what they gave up for him even at this age.
It made sense when it was Jak/RJ and other pieces on the team to salary match, but picks (multiple) on top of that is too much.

The Rockets are almost certainly offering Green/jock and some of their picks back at minimum.
Yes, Green sucks, but if they want picks, that's at least one team that's almost certainly offering.
