Dude if KD checked out on the suns while ago I donāt think he has much left in the tank to help carry a squad.
Donāt get me wrong they shouldāve pushed hard for him when he exiled himself from Brooklyn

We should be looking to replenish some draft picks or young players, not going all in and giving up the only draft assets we have left for a veteran past his prime. We are not a player away from contending. The team needs a rebuild around Trae and JJ. Defenders, shooters, and a versatile center.

Adding a 36 year old Durant will do nothing for this teamā¦ I donāt know why this sub is even entertaining this. Itās already come out that heās unhappy playing with Booker and Beal.

Trae Young, AJ Griffin (Projecting a Bounce Back), KD, Jalen Johnson, OO. Bench: Bogdonvic, Caplea, Kobe Bufkin (need him to be a solid backup as a combo guard), Resign Bey. This team will be a conference finals team in the East. Iād take a risk on the trade, but I highly doubt KD will want to be on another team again. No player of his caliber moves this often. OKC, GSW, Nets, Suns, New Team. Have we ever seen a player be top 10 level player on 5 teams??

If we get 3 good years out of Durant, then this is a really good deal. Trae and KD could be a fantastic pairing. Between those two and Bogi, we’d have the opposing defenses so stretched out that I could get buckets so forth someone like Jalen. Could see that team in the top 4 of the East.

Making an all in trade with a team that canāt even make the playoffs is a bad idea. Unless we managed to pull off trades/signings that make the whole top 8 of the team way better along with KD I donāt see the point. Weāll probably be a playoff team yeah but we wouldnāt be a serious threat

If weāre trading for a star I would prefer it was someone who isnāt turning 36 years old and has a history of quitting when things get tough

Yāall just donāt value 1st round picks huh?
noobrektsucks
we will never be able to contend for a championship with clint capela as our starting center so nah

KD is still worth it

Suns would have to trade one for one right now, wouldn’t they? Thought they couldn’t take multiple players or additional salary for one of theirs.

should this have the shitpost label

Hell no. Unless heās coming on a vet minimum for basically a 2nd round pick and a bench player, then keep that dude away from my team.

Yāall are mentally ill if you think 35 yo KD is worth DJM, Dre, AND 2 1sts. Mentally ill.

Hey I was just throwing the idea out there of what the trade would like lol

Letās take the opportunity to get a real reset and get a real reset. Build with some vision around Trae and JJ with an eye towards sustainability. Iād like to see us get at least a pick and a couple guys who grind on D and play team ball on O. Donāt star hunt, find dudes who fit.
