Dubs rumored to be part of a 7 team trade involving KD... 

Post#1 » by Old_Blue » Thu Jul 3, 2025 5:52 am

For the Warriors to be in the middle of such a trade, they may be moving some serious cash. Interestingly, the Bucks are NOT mentioned as one of the teams involved. While nothing is said to be imminent, it sounds like things are evolving quickly:

"The trade sending Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets somehow just got more complicated.

A lot more complicated.

According to The Athletic, the deal that sends Durant from the Phoenix Suns to the Rockets is expanding rapidly. The deal could involve what would be a league-record seven teams when it's all said and done, including the Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves."

I think they are included because of the 41st pick that was dealt.

But a Jimmy for bron deal mixed in there would make some headlines.

Pretty sure it's the day 2 draft trade. Brea for Toohey.

In which case, we're still at "$hittiest off-season ever." :banghead:

Why does that need to be included in a multi-team trade? No player salaries were moved. Unless the junk coming from the Warriors is going elsewhere. Still, unsigned drafted players and draft picks can be traded immediately.

Makes no sense to add GS in this as there was no salary really involved in the Brea/Toohey deal. There was salary connections with the other teams outside of Brooklyn, who could be in for salary dumping.

Houston and Phoenix for the KD trade
Lakers for DFS to Houston
Hawks for Capela to Houston
Wolves for NAW to Hawks

GS doesn’t make sense.

One thing to keep in mind, granted salary and cap machinations aren’t my thing, but Windhorst and Bontemps mentioned in their pod that Houston can’t do all the moves they have this summer financially. Still need to clear space with either Whitmore and/or Londale. Could see GS taking a third emergency stretch big in Londale for cheap

It's possible, given all of the teams being mentioned in this trade, that the player(s) from the Rockets may be going to a team other than the Warriors, and someone else(s) will be coming from another team to the Warriors.

No idea, but it's still listed as a trade pending, so I'm guessing it's that.
