Don't care. Not paying much for KD. Take it or leave it.
The Gambo suns guy that said Spurs are KD’s preferred destination said on the radio that Spurs have zero chance if Castle or pick 2 is not in a trade lmao. This dude was always just a mouthpiece for the Suns trying to drive the price up. Nice work by him
Don't care. Not paying much for KD. Take it or leave it.
yeah theres no deal to be made there
we tried
Enjoy being a Rocket KD!
Been in the desert for the last couple of days… getting caught up on the last 10+ pages was really tough… I mean literally… this ing website runs like it was built on Geocites.
Anyway… glad we are sticking to our conservative offer. KD and his 2/120 expectations![]()
I'm okay if this doesn't happen and the FO holsters the assets and picks for a deadline deal. Have to imagine the market changes and other opportunities open up between now and then.
Suns doing their best to get a return that doesn't turn their fans on them when they hear what the Spurs offered because it's probably better than Minnesota or Miami offers, but no reason to make it more good than it needs to be. Only team that can offer a comparable deal to the Spurs or better is the Rockets and they are probably also trying to give as little as possible.
The Spurs' only advantage left in this situation is KD's preference to come to San Antonio. So the Spurs could really bring him to the fold if they really wanted to. My sense is that given the cost, they've decided it's simply not worth it, and I don't disagree.
Imagine the team that gives up major draft capital AND maxes this dude after trading for him. I’m glad this beta diva is staying away from Wemby
Yeah, hoping for Rox to overpay here.
Any rumors what the Miami offer is? The other teams are fairly easy to identify.
Some combination of Gobert, DiVincenzo,Dillingham,
picks.
No clue what Minny is thinking. I don’t think this move pushes them into contention - but it does keep them a float.
There are going to be teams in the west who win 40 games and not make it to the playoffs. Conference is trending that way. Very bunched up - very little separation.
I think last year was an abberation., with only 4 games separating #2 and #8. I’m not even sure that HOU was the second best team, only one of the healthiest.
Man if PHX I'm thinking I think I'd buy KD out before I'd take the two high salaries of the friendship crew without the #14 just to say I got something in trade for him.

They don't need to trade KD to get out from the second apron.
I pretty much only wanted KD if he came cheap both assets wise and contract wise. Once I heard he wanted a $120 million extension that dried up my interest in him.
ROFL maybe you trade Harper or Castle for Durant if he was 32 and you were still getting another prime year or two out of him. No ing way at 37.
It didn't work out for the Nets and it didn't work out for the Sun. This guy causes an undercurrent of disaster wherever he goes. If he is traded to wolves I wouldn't doubt if Suns with Gobert end up winning more games in the season than the wolves. He's a nuclear bomb to your team's winning culture.
I don’t think the Spurs are as out of it as “sources” claim.
I also don’t think the Suns are going to get much of a return wherever he ends up. He’s 36 and wants an extension. Suns fans going to be disappointed with the return.
But they can.
I am like 30 pages away. So Durant thing is now 2nd or Castle for Durant with 60 mil cap hit in his 40years old season ? GTFO
My guess is Wiggins, Rozier on a 26 million expiring, Jovic or Jaquez Jr. on rookie deals, #20 in this draft from the Jimmy trade. It's just that Phoenix wants them to include Kel'el Ware and Miami doesn't want to trade him
Word is accepting the Spurs offer gets your GM fired immediatelyI guess since KD has the Spurs at the top of his list, Wright thought he can fleece the Suns. It's just that KD is a lot more cooperative than Fox was and there's no Rich Paul who helps Wright put the deal together. Supposedly the Spurs reached back out and included #14, but now the Suns want more and want to move more players than just KD.
they will never get anything close to that. They are just trying to drive the price up..
I'm not sure that that Miami offer is better than ours if we include 14.
It's not if we offer Vassell, Barnes, Sochan and #14. The offers the Suns are getting aren't that good. The Suns ain't biting at the Heat offer neither, they want Ware in the deal. Also Minnesota apparently doesn't care if they only get KD for 1 year.
The other problem is, that only the team with KDs bird rights can extend him. If he decides to become a free agent next season, most teams won't have cap space for a 50 million dollar contract. And he won't sign anywhere for the 14.1 million MLE. That way KD loses some of his leverage.
