KD should just quitely seek a trade to Phx regardless of Kyrie. Ayton and Bridges for KD. Maybe pick(s) are necessary. Then send Kyrie to LA in a 3 team with Charlotte. Kyrie and Harris - LA. Westbrook - Char. Hayward, Oubre, Plumlee to BK. Ayton/Simmons/Hayward/Bridges/Curry + Oubre, Claxton, Brown. Follow up with Mills to wheover offers the most.

Lebron is the only guy who could control Kyrie enough to win, and even he could only do it for a couple seasons before it blew up.

KD should have known better.

Suns should 1000% go all in on this

KD teaming up with Phx who came so close vs GS story writes itself

will probably take

Ayton, Bridges, Cam Johnson, 2 1sts, 2 pick swaps

but

Paul/Payne
Booker/Shamet
KD/Craig
Crowder/Saric
JaVale/Use MLE on another center in tandem with JaVale

Agreed. I was going to suggest the same for the Suns.

I think KD should somehow make his way to The Mavs.

Close to home, and he would fit in nicely on their roster.

a man having a hard time defining his winning leagacy, sticking with his buddy who nuked the nets and turned his back on him, is not loyalty,,,,,it's spineless and shows lack of leadership

nothing new here
kd was never a leader, always a follower,,,,even to a buddy/player with the mentality of a child

cut out of the middle man, trade Westbrook for KD instead :lol:

Mainly cause I kind of want to see how a Westbrook, Kyrie and Simmons team works.
