I think people are way too influenced by ESPN. How on earth is that the best offer. The best offers are teams ESPN (and KD’s team) aren’t going to push out. Better offers than Phoenix

1. GS- Wiggins, Poole, Kuminga or Wiseman, Moody

2. Toronto- Barnes & OG

3. OKC- Chet, Giddey, all those picks

4. Chicago- Levine, Patrick Williams , Ball/Coby white

5. Celtics- Jaylen Brown +

6. Hawks- Collins, Hunter, Huerter, Onyeka, Jalen Johnson

7. Pelicans- Brandon Ingram +

Like fam it’s Kevin Durant. Open your mind. It’s impossible that KEVIN DURANT becomes available and within minutes we’re forcefed ‘yea miami and Phoenix got the best packages’. Like hell they do. That’s fed by his team bc he literally has no leverage.

And some of those guys above may seem untouchable but … it’s Kevin Durant.
He put his preferred teams out. Ayton plus whatever is better than whatever Miami has.

There's a reason why Patty Mills didn't opt in, and why Blake wants out.

But in reality if the Lakers were to make a trade for KD, AD would probably be the candidate along with whatever else to make it work. I doubt the Lakers do that tho.

Kyrie to LA is still very much in play tho. Nets could take on a 1 year salary of Russ and picks and rebuild after that with a bunch of cap space, and picks from the Kyrie/KD deal

But they not. They going to send him somewhere he wants to go.

If OKC calls up and says we will give you all 40 of picks for KD. The answer will be no.

If the Spurs call up and say we will give our 12 picks over 5 years. The answer will be no.

Why you think it says "working with KD on a trade"? Marks knows the deal. KD is the opposite of Kyrie. He got a list and if you not on it he not coming to play for your team.

Dude is trying to go somewhere he can win a chip. The spurs and rockets and thunders of the world need not apply.

He has very little leverage in this case. He has 4 years to go, so what's he gonna do...Ben Simmons it? They're gonna send him to the team that offers the best deal....and may keep in interests in mind, but they don't have to.

Phx is gonna cost them Booker.
