Penn: Thunder may trade Kevin Durant if they can't get a commitment

Crazy to think they had Harden, Westbrook, and Durant all on one team.

 

According to Chuck they won the Harden trade, so why not double down?

 

technically both Bron and Kobe got traded. I think Bron was traded to Miami via sign and trade, and Kobe was traded from the Hornets for Divac.

 

Blake is a very good rebouder, he averaged 12 per his rookie year. He's just playing next to one of the best rebounders in NBA history (and he's been playing further from the basket).

 

Look at their team. They'll win it either this year or next.

Even if they don't, they won't trade him. Durant will not be voluntarily traded by his team till he retires - he's not even the type of guy who relies heavily on athleticism. He will be almost as effective in his mid 30's, while Westbrook is unlikely to be able to play this way for more than another few years.

 

3 of the arguably top 5 players in the game depending on where you rank Curry, Brow, and Lebron it's akin to the mythical Hakeem, Drexler, Jordan team the Rockets could have had...

That being said the Rockets could offer up something like Ariza, Dmo, Papa, Capela, NOP pick and Knicks pick. Maybe Jones instead of Capela or something but we have enough young high upside players and picks to at least make a decent run at a trade. Ultimately if Durant says trade me to Houston or I walk it will get done.

 

Lol @ all the wishful thinking in this thread.

 

Pat Bev, Dorsey, Ariza, Nick Johnson, KJ & a pick or two should get it done...maybe throw in D-Mo or TJ if needed.

Imagine we got Adams & Mary back in the trade too?

 

And Ibaka.

 

Media trash as usual.

 

LMAO

just terrible

 

They won't trade him. They will try and make a deep run and convince him to stay.

 

I can't blame Kevin for his hesitancy, if OKC really likes him that much they gotta put a ring on it.

 

KD is gone anyway, would trade if I were OKC...

 

[rQUOTEr]In recent days, after former front office executive and current ESPN analyst Tom Penn opined that the Thunder could consider trading Kevin Durant if he didn’t commit beyond next season, a national narrative about the subject has boiled up.

Before Wednesday’s game against the Clippers. OKC general manager Sam Presti made sure to shoot it down.

“It's ludicrous to assert that we would trade Kevin,” Presti told The Oklahoman. “There's no way to measure what he represents to our organization on and off the floor. He has helped build this organization from the ground up and personifies the Thunder: past, present and future. When he's done playing there will be streets named after him throughout the state and younger generations of Oklahomans will learn about the role Kevin has played in elevating this community in ways beyond basketball.”

Now that's throwing the kitchen sink! Good grief. Is this cat paranoid much?

 

LOL, god that's so over the top it's ridiculous. And exactly what past do the Thunder have? Should Shawn Kemp be rolling over in his grave.
