Report: Rival execs believe the Spurs will chase Kevin Durant in offseason

[Mnky]

Yeah I must've missed that one.

Certain kawhifans wanted to trade Kawhi for beal and ariza his rookie year.

Beal will run the max and hasn't been healthy in a good while. I don't think he would be worth it. He has had trouble playing second fiddle to john wall as well.

[TrainOfThought5]

KD taking a paycut?
Unless that occurs, this signing is not happening.

KD has already made a lot of money from OKC plus endorsement. if he was ever gonna take a pay cut and win some rings and create a big 3 dynasty of his own, the time is now, the place is here, and Kawhi and LMA are the right ones to do it with. everyone keeps fretting about the salary cap, but if he came here, taking a pay cut would mean a lot to endearing him to the Fanbase and ensuring his success.

Better scenario: Let the Wiz go after/get KD and poach Beal

Beal is probably the most overrated player in the league, tbh..most Wizards fans have turned on him, if you check their forums

[TrainOfThought5]

No. Danny would though. No team would be able to guard a

Tony, kawhi, durant, LMa, Boban lineup.

Any SG defending Kawhi or Durant is in an automatic disadvantage.

Any 2,3, or 4, really.

There is about as much chance as my 60 year old ass playing for the Spurs next year as KD. I'd love to have him a Spur but there is just no way in .

[dg7md]

If Durant is smart, he will join us not only return to Texas but for a chance to become the team to actually be able to dominate Golden State. Durant wants to win, clearly, otherwise he would just stay in OKC where he can live comfortably as a future HOFer without ever achieving a ring.

All of this is moot if OKC finds a way to the Finals, though. If we can get to the Finals this year (preferably win), then I think Durant might take our signing chances more seriously. Durant should realize that if he retires with multiple rings he can go down as one of the best players ever, and could even usurp LeBron if he has more rings than him, otherwise he might become an Alex English type legend.

Kawhi, Durant, and Aldridge could be as impactful in this eras NBA as Kobe and Shaq were in the 2000s. That's not something he should discount just because he can get more money on a losing franchise.

If that happens I agree that it is natural for fanbase to adore him.
I just don't see it with KD though

The Wizards have ty LONG TERM contract situations w/ Gortat/Markieff.

Shaq changed conferences after the 72 Bulls swept the Magic & Durant might do the same by abandoning an elite teammate ala Shaq/Penny.

Durant would look so bad ass in a Spurs uniform, kind of like Jordan wearing a Bulls jersey, Bird wearing a Celtics jersey, Magic wearing a Lakers jersey, the mere sight would put fear into the opponent.

Yep, just awesome.

durant he isn't a Spur and never will be...he wishes

[skulls138]

Kawhi, KA and Durant are about the same position. KA could turn into something great. I see the potential.

Respect, tbh.. that puberty-skin pussy..

I see it too and he's a better fit next to kawhi and lma, bc the two of them are scorers whereas Kyle is a playmaker, and very versatile at that.

Theres definitely still some ifs and buts, mainly his 3 pt shot and just being responsible for major minutes but hes better than most people thought on defense while keeping what hes good at intact.

This would never happen. Spurs can't afford Durant without letting go of Danny and Boris and this would mean Duncan and Manu would retire as well. Also if the Warriors repeat, he will definitely go there before the Spurs. He is childhood friends with Curry.

I'd rather Rusle Westbruk.

I would rather have the greek freak.

Seriously? if that's all it takes to possibly acquire Kevin Durant, letting go of Diaw, Green. You do it. Duncan would probably be back for the vet. min if they can sign Durant.
