We know there's a front office who doesn't care about trading for elite players on one-year rentals (and MU is way more desperate now than ever before).

if toronto is still not being brought up by him then he doesn't want to play there. it's a shame because raptors fans would be so excited to have him.

Compare the rosters of those teams to Toronto and it's pretty obvious why he'd prefer them at his age.

I'm not aware of this individual, but I'm curious as to if the Raptors are trying to help facilitate a Durant deal at this time, or are they still eyeing Durant as the prize?

Minny in a tough spot

The Wolves also face roster uncertainty with Julius Randle and Naz Reid both having player options on their contracts. Reid said at his exit interview that he planned to opt out to become a free agent, and the Wolves do want to bring him back. Randle was not as clear with his plans. Until the Wolves know exactly what is going to happen with those two, it makes pulling off a deal even more difficult.

That is definitely not a real person or reporter. The avatar also looks like an AI image.

Phoenix is going to pull a San Antonio and send KD to Minny or Toronto :lol:

if after the trade, we have this roster:

iq + bi + kd + scottie

bench of shead + 2 of ochai/dick/jakobe + mogbo

convince capela + horford to split the mle.

then you have to make the deal, right?

I think this might be a long con to get the Rockets to give back all their picks.

would u guys do this?
I think this is the most we would go. We are not giving up #9 for 1 yr of KD
ur basically swapping RJ and Agbaji for BI and KD ... super upgrade in talent but Alex Mckecknie would have to work overtime.

I don't believe there was ever any serious interest by both sides. On Fanduel, Toronto was never in the top 15 for KD's next team

Shams says there are 6-8 interested teams.

Miami
Houston
San Antonio
Minnesota
Toronto
New York ?
LAC ?

I can't get to 8 teams

It's AI

I also would be thinking he's AI, but he's been getting too many things right.

Even this, he's the first one, even before Shams to say that he isn't interested in Minnesota. Shams just now said he doesn't want Minnesota.

Suns will not do it without 1-2 firsts included though.

Of course. Any Durant trade without including Barnes is an obvious one to make.
