Yup. 3/$33m. That’s just too much and too many years for him so I don’t blame Miami for letting him go.

Honestly, the Bucks’ off-season will be a success if they can unload
George Hill.

I don't think the Bucks need much. They win the title this year if Middleton doesn't get injured.

Does Booker want Durant on his team?

Probably.

Supposedly he wants to play specifically with either Booker or Butler. Heat Twitter is playing clips of him saying how impressed he is with Bam and trying to talk themselves into getting him without giving up either Bam or Jimmy which I don't see happening.

It's hard to imagine what the price for Durant will be if it takes 5 first-round picks to get Rudy Gobert.

It’ll be picks on top of 1-2 starting caliber guys.

This seems like a tough trade for almost anybody to make: the Nets want players more than picks (though they'll get every pick that team can trade) but for anybody to come up with enough good players they might have to strip their roster and they'll have a 34 year old with an injury history and no picks. Idk.

They certainly would have given the Warriors more of series.

His deal seems fair for both sides given the market.

So yeah request a trade and then ignore the people who want to help you out.
"Since he requested a trade, there's been numerous stars that I've spoken to, numerous stars that have been trying to get in touch with him to pick his brain to see if he would consider other avenues, just want to get a sense of what he's thinking -- KD's going dark. He's not talking to anybody. Not answering anybody's phone calls, not responding to texts. The only time you see him get out into the sunlight is when he responds on Twitter, and he's not saying anything much on there."

Still wish Miami would move on John Collins. I don't see a KD trade coming anytime soon if ever so let's just move on. Minnesota destroyed the trade market with that asinine package they gave the Jazz.
