Man that dude can eat a bag of dix but I actually believe that could be the hold up.

One of the few believable tweets. They want jovic instead of JJJ maybe? Idk. To make salaries work we have to be trading more than Wiggins and duncan. Could be those pieces where the hold up lies.


Agreed. Love Jovic size, skill, and youth but you can’t let him be the reason you miss out on KD. We’ll see, maybe they work it out without him

Elevator opening up?


Apparently this is the old JJJ Muse account and he rebranded twice now after Jaime sucked. This is a kid

When we miss on KD, what are the chances he will join us in the 2028 offseason and how many picks are we giving up

I really believe the league is weak right now. That's not to say there aren't many good players, but they are spread apart (parity), and I don't consider any team to be a super team.

Kobe/Gasol Lakers
Dirk's Mavs
Miami's Big 3
Curry's Warriors (+ Durant)
LeBron's Cavs
Spurs

If you look at this OKC team or Boston the year before, how would they do against some of those 2010-2020 championship teams? The majority of those teams would pound them in my opinion.

Get Durant, make some other moves (easier said than done), and we could go back to competing if healthy. We would probably be underdogs though.

Now this is the question we all need to ask ourselves. How would Erny know? Butler is no longer here.

I wonder if memphis with all their picks start getting in the durant trade talks.. seems like the suns are willing to trade KD whoever has the highest bid

Not sure if Ja and KD can get along, KD is a no nonsense type of guy when it comes to basketball

he doesnt know anything… he’s trolling trying to get the gullible fans hopeful. he never had sources before, why would he now??

and why would Miami hold onto Jovic when it’s confirmed he was in the original KD deal. Jovic isnt stopping a KD deal at this point.

I always find it funny when fans think someone as irrelevant as Jovic would be the difference of a Dursnt trade

If you ask any other team what do they think of Nikola Jovic, theyll correct your spelling and say it is Jokic and that he is the MVP. No one knows who the **** Jovic is hes a nobody.. hes a filler contract in a trade and no we should not extend him. He waits till hes a free agent in 2026 and i bet we can bring him back at 5 mill per.

Tenured vets that are extension eligible heading into the final year of there deals or have opt outs are essentially free agents. Harden, Butler, and now Durant will have been able to get to the destinations of choice with extension in hand. Unfortunately for Lillard he was locked up in that deal that gave him little leverage. If the Heat lose out here it won’t be from a team that’s not on Durant’s list and especially from a team that’s not willing to extend him. We are just haggling right now how long this is going to go or who breaks first. The longer the Suns drag this out the nastier it gets for them in the media with pressure coming from KD and his agent as they call teams and tell them not to bother. They have to respect a player of KD’s magnitude

Apparently it was Butler and J Rich only. No Jovic. The Suns wanted Jovic

For y’all to have any hope of closing this Durant trade, you better hand over the keys to this guy:

Facts man. He's just trying to give the fans a story to run with and to complain about Riley with if they don't acquire KD.

Prepare yourself, front office is getting teabagged when they fumble this one at the 1 yard line again.
