I have a feeling Stone is trying to swap Fred for KD and standing on that. Probably why him & Ime are reportedly disagreeing No smart organization would want a declining FVV & Durant for multiple years. You think the spurs or okc would do that? No
I just can’t see Patrick and Stone signing off on trading JG…. My gut is telling me it’s Dillion Brooks or FVV, Tari Eason, Jock Landale, 27 FRP, and #10…..
He’s going to a non-preferred destination and he will like it : Raptors, Wolves, Clippers Suns gonna have to choose the best poo-poo platter. Barrett OR Quickley/Poeltl/9th Green/Landale/Holiday/10th?? Vassell/Barnes/14th Randle/DiVincenzo/???/17th Wiggins/Robinson/Jovic/20th Powell/Bogdanovic/Jones/30th I think the Wolves would take the risk/rental but are Gobert/Dillingham still on the table? Raptors deliver them their desperately wanted center.
Teams always say this just before the player ends up on one of their preferred teams. Is Kawhi the only case of a player not being traded to his preferred destination?
I want to spend some time to truly understand whether or not our fans understand the value of 1) the PHX 2027 pick and 2) Tari Eason Like do you seriously comprehend what you are doing here.
yeah sounds like it. The rockets can offer the highest upside prospect and the highest draft pick. We don’t need to go higher. Wiggins is the new Bradley Beal. I just can’t see the Suns trading KD to the Heat without Ware in the deal.
Well, you know what you're getting. With Jalen he can end your night at tipoff at any given night. I get it, he is overrated. I'll defer to Ime as long as he's getting results.
The idea the Suns may not trade KD is nonsense. If they keep him past the draft, their leverage drops. They also know he won't report and the longer this would drag towards training camp, the more of a Jimmy Butler giveaway it becomes. The Suns have ~24 hour period of max leverage that starts the day before the draft.
I think you’re misreading that. It’s saying that if one of KD’s “preferred” teams don’t make a decent offer, they’ll trade him to a non-preferred team (Clippers, Raptors, Timberwolves)
I stand corrected. Should have clicked and read the rest of the statement on Twitter. This is certainly possible but my gut says the Spurs or Rockets will prevail.
If that Quickly, Poeltl, 9th pick offer is on the table, the Suns should take it and run. Jalen and #10 is definitely the best of the rest. If they don’t consider that a “decent offer”, bye bye.
Shams: “Active trade conversations with Rockets, Heat, Wolves” “Deal could happen any day now between now-draft.” Windhorst: “Minnesota is most motivated” “According to Shams, don’t think Spurs are super engaged.
