NBA Kevin Durant requests a trade

Windhorst now saying that the Lakers have a package to take both Durant and Kyrie together

I also wonder how much of Durant wanting to go to Phoenix because he feels like he has a score to settle with Charles Barkley over his bus driver comments? Durant might conclude that he can stick it to Chuck by doing something he couldn't: winning a ring for the Suns.

People have been bringing that up this afternoon and normally I'd dismiss it as nonsense and the fact Durant is trying to jump to what's already a good team. But given the guy in question...I wouldnt put it past him.

James Harden might be the smartest guy in this whole thing.

He had CP3 traded because he couldnt stand playing with him (and now the former may have pushed DeAndre Ayton out of town in Phoenix) and then he noped the f*** out of Brooklyn when it became apparent Irving (and I guess Durant by extension) only gave a shit about themselves.

Harden has since settled into Philly and is now taking less money to help them try and build a better team.

Smart man really. I know some people still don't like him but he knew things were posion before everyone else did.

How is Paul pushing him out?

He just isn’t seen as worth the contract he can get

His source is probably Klutch Sports.

that's not gonna happen. but if kyrie's value has indeed plummeted like we're hearing, the lakers could make a move for him with a package that looks something like westbrick, nunn, picks

 

[Stylizer1]

Trade Lebron and Westbrook for Kyrie and Durant.

 

[Breakers]

Best of Luck to Sean Marks demanding Booker

Don;t think it is going to work
but is the right mindset

Sick league

 

[EpochLink]

Listening to Perk on ESPN trying to apply blame to everyone else here is hilarious

Kendrick Perkins sucks as an analyst, only reason he got a job is because he's a Lebron bootlicker. Guy brings nothing and got his feelings hurt because Draymond Green called him out for being a coon.

Shocker

Can't lead his team to a championship so needs to go back being a passenger... now watch him actually win one again once dealt

My god I find him, Irving and Harden sooooo damn annoying

3 biggest divas in the sport .

Could almost change "the sport" to "all sports"

as a suns fan i don't want him please don't come lol


true cant think of any divas like him in mlb nhl nfl.. its the leagues fault though no major sport has stars control the league like the nba.. they really need to get more control away from them in the next agreement or something

Antonio Brown in the NFL gives Durant, Irving, and Harden a solid run for their money as it relates to "biggest diva".

Will we ever see an NBA owner and GM simply say "No" to a trade request?

Seems like it's been so long that I can remember a GM/Owner having backbone instead we watch players destroy franchises with a simple demand

The return for Durant is going to be astronomical. They'll be better off in the long run

So how long until Ben Simmons has "mental health issues" again ?

Probably not considering Silver lets the inmates run the asylum over there.

 

[Breakers]

well damn
this limits it
It's cool when you have these CBA specialists who explain that all these Pie-in-the-sky scenario's are completely impossible floated by these media personalities unless they trade ben simmons with Kyrie or Durant to get one of these guys.
So the suns would be a wild trade if Booker is involved
The heat trade would probably have a 3rd team if they want Bam
A Celtics trade with Jaylen brown and picks isn’t too bad.

 

[GKJ]

Nets will trade Ben Simmons in 12 seconds if it gets them what they want for Durant.

 

[The Burdened]

the NBA is Dany Heatley: The League.
always demanding trades I swear no continuity with most of the teams

 

[thefutures]

Also keeping a player that wants out pretty much never works out, glad NBA teams figured that one out. Get what you can these pick hauls are ridiculous

Antonio Brown is legit mentally disturbed, I don’t know if any of these clowns are that though Kyrie acts that way sometimes

If there was ever a case it would happen it would be with a signed Durant for the next four years

KD is scary on almost any team he goes to... but I think he needs to be thinking more about a trade to Memphis. KD and Ja Morant would be absolutely scary

If KD really wants to add to legacy tho, go win a championship in Chicago, or Detroit, or just LA.

Suns and Heat might be good teams, but they aren't the teams that will boost KD's legend further. If KD brings Chicago their first championship since Jordan, he adds to his legacy significantly. We're they not one of the best teams last year, or?

Phoenix and Miami are good, but I don't think they are the teams best suited for KD. Portland with Dame is really nice, or creating a hyperteam by somehow following Kyrie to the Lakers... lol but at the end of the day, anywhere KD wants to go, could be the next, best team in the league.

This season gunna be real good. I wonder if Vegas still has Brooklyn as the odds on favourties?

Lakers. Kobe. Summer of 2007.

 

[Terry Yake]

really hope he ends up in miami, but unfortunately i don't think they have enough pieces to give up

Plus I don't like the fit with Butler. Phoenix is the best fit. Nets are crazy if they think they have leverage to get Booker as part of the return though.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Woj says Raptors are "lurking" on KD. If we give up Scottie I'll be pretty pissed off, but I trust Masai to do the responsible thing.
