Phoenix Suns expect to part ways with Kevin Durant this offseason. Could the Spurs be a good landing place?

[baseline bum]

Tried to tell everyone the Suns weren't gonna get for KD. One first and a grab bag of scrubs and seconds is about what I expected.

[Ice009]

So in 2029, do the Rockets have two first round picks? The two most favourable of those three listed?

yes

I just watched the locked on suns podcast and they are livid about their return. Haha

It was obvious months ago that the return would be something like this. KD had so much more value at the deadline where you would have gotten another playoff run out of him if you were Houston. Maybe then they could have squeezed a second first out of it. Not one of their own but maybe a worst of the two Rockets picks in 2029 for example.

Honestly I’d be pissed that they couldn’t even pry Jimmer away.

Even if the offer was the same, they could've tanked after the deadline and would've better lottery odds.
But it's impossible to reason with a person that doesn't want tobe reasoned with. In this case Ishbia who's going to burn that franchise to the ground.

[KobesAchilles]

Goddamn are you a crybaby. They made their big move in the middle of the season. Goddamn. What the kind of shakeup do you ing want? Lauri Markannen? Lmfao. This team is making the playoffs next year. Jesus Christ.

One that makes the playoffs. I thought that was obvious. I’m tired of all the excuses for this team. So yes until this team makes the actual playoffs I will continue to cry and complain.

Man you're like a toddler. Just go away and come back a year from now. Go fill a swimming pool with your tears. Goddamn.

[SpursFan86]

For those curious about what the Spurs’ actual offer was…turns out they (reportedly) didn’t even make one

[Mr. Body]

For those curious about what the Spurs’ actual offer was…turns out they (apparently) didn’t even make one.

Ah, the Michael Corleone.

[LeBowen]

We're batck at we like what we have.

Brian Wright was reading this thread just laughing at everyone the whole time

[TimDunkem]

Great. Now let's pivot to trading our trash + 14 to clear space and move up in the draft.

[Chomag]

Spurs didn't even make an offer? Jesus this FO sometimes lol

[LeBowen]

I'm sure Wright would've offered Keldon, maybe even Devin.
If Suns said it's not happening without Castle or #2, Wright hung up and that was the end of it.

[scott]

This has reinforced something we already knew: Brian Wright isn't going to make a deal where he has to overpay. And I can appreciate that about him.

[Mal]

You at least had to made the call with Vassell, Barnes,#14 and gazillion 2nds.

[KobesAchilles]

Man you're like a toddler. Just go away and come back a year from now. Go fill a swimming pool with your tears. Goddamn.

Sure. I’m going to go away bc some guy named Mr. Body says so. I mean you are the guy who tells people to kill themselves so I guess this is progress. If the Spurs don’t make the playoffs again will you be gone forever? Bc you said last year that we are making it and we didn’t

[LeBowen]

#10 > #14
Green > Vassell, even with the playoff struggles. At least he's always healthy.
Brooks > Barnes

We would've had to add another unprotected FRP or Jeremy and a bad FRP to that offer to make the Suns seriously consider it.

[Teamduncan21]

Gambo is kinda full of crap though. He is the one who said trade is imminent revolving around Devin, Barnes, and pick. Now he is saying there wasn't even an offer.

He does know something here and there but he makes up the remaining of the story that sometimes contradicts himself

[Ice009]

That is crazy if the Spurs didn't make an offer at all. Maybe they could have gotten a deal done before Houston even came up with their final offer if they actually put an offer in. I doubt they didn't put an offer in at all, though. That guy's gotta be full of crap.

Weren’t there already credible reports from national reporters that the Spurs did make an offer but the Suns weren’t satisfied?

You're not worth telling to kill himself. You're just a whining infant, lol.

OMG the Spurs waaaaah.
