[Charania] - Durant’s business partner, Rich Kleiman, are sorting through trade options (HOU, SAS, MIN, MIA, NY))

[Randle McMurphy]

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.

of course

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

Yes, the question is why would Phoenix even consider such a move? RJ Barrett isn't actually any good.

Agreed, that's an agent working through Shams to get the Raptors, TWolves and/or mystery team to back off.

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?

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.

It's not a real person/reporter and it hasn't been getting anything right.

Turning on Shams notifications.

Think we get a trade before the end of the weekend.

No, we are giving up too much. KD is 37 and might leave after one year. This is not the Kwahi situation.

[PhilBlackson]

It’s pretty obvious KD wants to go somewhere warm lol

RJ getting traded on his birthday would suck

its a leak war

Shams says there are 6-8 interested teams.

Miami
Houston
San Antonio
Minnesota
Toronto
New York ?
LAC ?

I can't get to 8 teams

I don't know why the Mavs aren't in the middle of this. They're "all in" and have the extra Cs. Thompson/Gafford/Washington gets the money close. They have that Lakers pick.

Other than that, maybe Memphis trying again. That Sixers rumour of PG+3.

Basically making it clear that KD will only extend with those three teams and daring the others not to make the trade.

It won't bother Masai at all, I'm sure.

What of value are we even giving up there? One year of Poeltl and a 3+D role guy in Ochai?

I can't fathom why the Suns would even consider that.

Nothing new, really. He straight vetoed Memphis/GSW at the deadline.

I think Minny has always known where they stand on this and why I think they're fine with the rental. Gobert is exiting his prime anyway. Start over after.

That decides the pricetag for Toronto as well. You probably keep 9 out of this. Cutting bait on Grady is a decision there too if they make it.

he'll try but likely doing it to increase the rest of the offers. I dont think we are in this at all

They care more about the center than anything else other than the picks/youth.

It's best to think about it as "do they care about Grady and the 2026 pick" or whatever to go along with Jak.

He’s a Raptor

[bballsparkin]

Say no to Poole. No thanks

[iBall101]

I hope we don't get this washed up Veteran. I'll focus on draft night lol

[TimeForChange]

We have big line movement boys.

Minnesota now +140
Miami now +240
Houston now + 350
San Antonio +400

And your Toronto Raptors go from +3000 to +1200
