    I think San Antonio may have been overlooked as the ultimate trade destination. Bookmark it.

    Don't know what happened, but apparently Cousins replied to Durant's tweet and said it was directly from his Suns teammate and referring to other Suns within the locker room.

    Durant has said himself he's not a leader and is now leaving the Suns, who want to offload him.

    How have they been overlooked? They've been discussed ad nauseum. You must not be paying attention.

    A lot of KD clickbait going around.

    They've been essentially ruled out in the last few days by various reports and Shams etc. I'm saying I don't think that's correct. Take that however you'd like.

    Sounds like KD won't be a Rocket because they aren't willing to include any of Phoenix's picks back.

    I'm okay with what happens either way.

    But still want the Rockets to look for roster improvements if KD doesn't happen.

    Just send him to the Heat and he can be a first round exit living up an early summer in South Beach.

    At this point it’s just recycling of the same information just with different twists. It’s blah now.

    It’s all bullshit. One of them will get it close to right and them spam the rest of the world, “i nailed it”.

    Trading him to a 3rd team is difficult because its not a nothing contract. Teams are probably willing to take him but want a reason to. I really think he needs to go to a Utah or Washington. A team that sucks that can take the superstar gamble.

    regardless of the outcome with KD, we need to upgrade the backcourt.

    This thread is such a trainwreck. It's like the culmination of people believing everything they read no matter who says it and then propagating the garbage everywhere. The ESPN and generic "insider" accounts are thanking you for your clicks, bait. :D

    I had to tap out after the posts about Shadab Khan the cricket player being Shadab Khan the "insider" guy. :D I'm going back to Reddit where it's safe (wth?). LOL.

    "Spurs are in the lead... no wait... he's going to the Rockets... wait, wait... he's a Heat according to @NBAChickenBiscuit... but the Bullvoda odds seem to favor the Pistons at -100!! Everybody's in the lead!"

    It's not just for that. You think we can trade Durant straight up for just that one player? Lol

    I’m skeptical about green but at this point, I wouldn’t trade him as a negative asset so I would just keep him and hope that he ends up flourishing. I’m not betting on that again, it would be hope.

    I would definitely be looking to see how he is with a different point guard.

    if we needed to increase our green based off a little bit to get it over the finish line I would go with

    Green/Jock/Holiday/2027 or 29 pick top 5 protected if they value that over #10.

    personally, I’m starting to look at this draft and like some of the options that we will come away with that number 10.

    No, but that's why I wouldn't trade them straight up.

    Suns fans were really happy to get kd, so we're the nets. Wonder how they feel... Oh wait they both regret it. Maybe you're the stupid one? Kd need prime steph and the warriors to win a chip you think we are gonna win one with him and some 22 yr olds. You guys are so unrealistic and u live in some sort of fantasy world in your head.
