Nothing about that post was alluding to KD wanting to be there because he likes sun, the shyt was saying he’s an arthritic old man who needs year round heat…which Phoenix doesn’t offer, it’s cold AF there in the winter. Tweet was stupid
phx isnt cold in the winter according to google, its almost perfect

Suns better get that KD trade done before Ayton signs that offer sheet.

KD has zero leverage here and there aren't many teams that can pony up 4+ first rounders plus players to get him. especially the teams he wants to go to.

if the nets were smart, once they found out minnesota was willing to give up so much to get gobert, they should have offered KD for the same package in return.

hell, they should be taking offer from EVERY team and taking the best package in return. I don't give a damn what destination is on his wish list when he's got 4 years remaining on that contract.
No guarantee the Nets woulda got that sort of return because if you have to worry about KD's temperament for the next 4 years, it's not worth it to gut your own team.

In theory you're right, but players preemptively give lists as a way to scare everyone else off. Imagine KD gets dealt to some team he didn't want and he's just sulking the whole time? Teams ain't got time to be tryna make you happy.

What the hell are the pacers doing, arent they supposed to be finally rebuilding :dahell:

They are doing it cause they're the only team left with cap space and they could potentially sign Ayton for a lower number than he wants. If you can get a competent starter/former #1 pick on a discount, might as well do it when your team isn't an attractive FA destination. Ayton is only 23, not even in his prime yet

you don't seem to know how humidity works...miami is oppressively humid, twice i've gotten sick from miami's summer heat. phoenix is dry so it's hot, but you go stand in the shade and drop 10-15 immediately. 90 out west >>> 90 down south
I just went to New Orleans for a week and I gotta cosign this.

:sadcam:

shyt was unbelievably hot, I've been before but went in May. This time went at the end of June and that shyt was DIFFERENT
:wow:

They could just tank for real tho :beli:

Ayton still gonna get something around the ballpark of 20 mil
