Regardless of what happens I love that the league is United in not giving the Suns for Durant. Let the Desert stay Dry.
The problem is that KD is super expensive with a contract extension. The risk is pretty dang high - that he gets hurt, that his production falls off. Those max contracts are vile. We're going to be struggling under the weight of Fox's contract as it is. And I don't think the Rox want that heavy price, either. It's a risk.

Sns
That's the death knell report.
He's going for peanuts.
Spurs continuing the tradition of the 90s and 2000s with a takedown of the Suns. I wonder if they don't want to trade with the Spurs because of all those awful memories of failure when they had their best team and couldn't get passed the Spurs.
It's like a stall at the swap meet staying open well after dusk after all the other vendors have gone home. Surely someone will want their sets of collection dinner ware.
Cam Johnson is overrated drastically, he's just Champagnie on a 10x contract. He's not worth 1 first rounder, let alone 2.
And as far as back up point guard goes, time to step it up and bring over Mijo Nunez.
After watching tons of John Collins tape the past few days, I think I'd actually prefer him over Durant. A much more opportunistic scorer off cuts, transition, and corner threes. He doesn't command the type of touches Durant does.
I forget which podcast or show I was listening to that was criticizing Durant's play when he wasn't given the ball, just sort of pouting past the three point line not doing anything or being active. Collins will be active; on the offensive glass, finding ways and angles to make himself available, he'll be grinding, KD will be be chilling or petrifying
The big advantage Durant has is as an on ball scorer, he of course can do things there Collins couldn't dream of. But I propose that there's enough guys already to give the ball to in crunch time to let them figure it out: Wemby, Fox, Castle, Harper, even Vassell thinks he's mister hero out there.
I still love Durant as a decoy, as a shooter, as a guy with tremendous gravity who will open things up with his presence, who could still be a useful defensive player, but I don't think he's a good fit for SA
He belongs in Houston where they need a guy to take the ball in his hands in crunch time. VanVleet ain't about it at his age, Amen is still just a lot of projecting, there's no big scorers except Sengun and that's not enough.
I'd love to dump Vassell's contract but bot crazy about 3 nearly max years of an aging KD
There was no such rumor. That came from bill simmons saying he had a su ion a trade had been agreed to but then explicitly said this it not based on any sources or intel and said “do not aggregate this”
I think the longer it drags on the lower the chance he agrees to a trade with the Tpups Minnesota which is the best rumored trade proposal so far.
The Pelton "report" about Keldon + expirings + 2FRPs offer for KD, does make me wonder what else could be had for that package?
Like HOW far off is that for TM3?
Minny can’t trade before the draft, because they are a second apron team, so they can’t aggregate multiple players to get Durant. I think PHO wants assets in this draft, not later stuff, so Minny is probably already sidelined.
Vassell supposedly not being included in the KD trade is either the Spurs insist on keeping him or the Suns don't want him/the Spurs have another team interested in Vassell.
The Spurs could get more for Vassell than the equivalent of Keldon + filler + ATL27.
I think we underestimate how much the Spurs love Devin. I also think he is a great fit next to Fox, and they probably want to see it.
Too many mouths to feed. Fox,Castle,Harper,Champ,Devin.
IF… the Spurs end up with KD, the reaction will be shock at how little PHX got in return. I think their interest is lukewarm at best. Not mortgaging any kind of future for him. I think Houston is most likely destination. - Don Harris on twitter

I dont like SA trading 14 + 27 first
Id rather just 14 and add more player talent in deal rather than give up 27 first.
If SA is going to do 2 firsts then I’d rather keep 14 and do 27 + 29 first or something like that (with top 5 protections)
Same. Pile in the SRPs.
Agreed. I'm quite low on DV, so adding the 2027 ATL pick makes the Keldon-centered package seem better than the DV-centered one.
14 Isn't helpful for the cap situation rn. We'll need the firsts later more than we do now.
Just give PHX Sochan and get this done, no team is going to take Devin+pennies.
Shams is doing damage control on TV right now lol

May it be
The waiting is unbearable, lol
