Re: The Official 2025 Offseason Thread Part 3
I wonder if seeing how crappy the offers are for KD will make Ishbia realize that it’s better to trade Booker now while he’s somewhat young instead of suffering the same fate with Booker maybe 3-4 years from now.
Nah that would require a brain and I don’t think Ishbia possesses that.

I just wonder if it even has been discussed - trading Booker or its just "nope -- not a thought"

to PHX: IQ, Poeltl, #9 from TOR
TOR: #11, Ayton, KD
POR: RJ
I would not.
I would keep him and expire than take most of these crap offers.
Looks like Minny might be our only hope here.

Yeah , I wouldn't accept that Raptors offer neither.
Windhorst said today that if we don't really like any offer we probably don't trade him.

just wish KD didn't have a wishlist because then teams list Toronto and Minny wouldn't be limited on their offers.

And what would keeping Durant do -- the team is going nowhere

Please tell me that Ishbia and the Suns won't blow this gift from the basketball gods of Barrett or quickly, Poetl and the freaking 9th overall pick just because they want " Dick" so bad!
If Ishbia and Bartlestein want dick this bad, someone please tell them yo just go to a gay club and work it hard! This is the best rental trade offer we could possibly get!!!
They need to jump on this and hunt for their " Dick" fix later after the trade ( not judging at all by the way)!!

The Raptors will not be trading for Durant because of Ujiri
The dude is the ultimate, "Grady Dick" tease -- pun intended
I know he made the Kawhi trade but the guy is a lot of talk and no action --
If they want Durant, have some guys and include Grady Dick in the trade

Shams says one thing

nobody has a clue
my guess, the other teams are talking to these people to drive the price down and Suns are talking to drive the price up
Houston will trade Jabari Smith with Green to get Durant -- I am calling my shot

I do not think we want Gobert, as it has been leaked that we have done extensive research on Porzingis health and seems like we want to trade for him, which seems like a good idea.

These should be our top trade priorities for KD now (given current theoretical offers):
1- Toronto.
2- Minnesota.
3- Houston.
4- Miami.
5- Mystery team??

This trade value should be plenty good enough!! Even without getting some Dick!
Ishbia and Bartlestein need to accept this deal and run to the league office with it. There not going to find another bail out opportunity this good for KD with all the lowball offers being submitted. I really pray they don't get too greedy and mess this up BIG TIME!!!

Might be the best trade. Probably worth seeing if Barrett can be send somewhere else for additional picks or young players.

Keep in mind that players have social media and follow this stuff. This is prime leak a guys NOT in trades so they don't get pissy.
Like I'm sure Memphis would have said Bane was untouchable a week ago.
