Conley & Barnes both are market max players. The "+ a few shooters" might be tough to get after your 2 max players. Further, Barnes is an RFA that GSW is not going to let go.
I know it's reckless speculation on my part but has anyone seen the kd9 shoes that come out in June? They feature 2 colorways and it's just odd to me because I don't remember him releasing his first colorways involving red.
This, people have been talking about Duran'ts free Agency since the 2014 offseason. when I mean people I mean analysts and commentators around the league and in journalism. NO ONE is surprised by this one.

Out of curiosity, I know he said he's not interested, and the contract now is more difficult to get out of, but if Durant signed here, you think that may make Lull reconsider?

Deuce, you can't go posting that. We need unwavering positivity from you until KD and AH have decided their fates.
LOL. I try to still wave the positive flag. But, news is news. 1 item in that article that I agree with is this OKC/Spurs series. I really feel like if OKC gets PAST the Spurs, that might be enough to get KD to thinking he should stay at least 1 more year. That they have a chance. BUT, if the Spurs knock them out (especially if it goes 5 games) then KD might feel that OKC team has run its course. That said, if the Spurs knock out OKC, will Durant want to leave OKC for the team that just punched him in the face? Can't beat 'em, join 'em? The Warriors and Spurs represent coat tail rider scenarios. I am not sure KD wants that narrative. And that is why the Houston option can be compelling because it can give KD a situation where he can win now, and with a friend and be the main reason why they are winning. Very similar to the Miami Big 3 scenario.
San An aint getting Durant, Durant has a little bit of an ego, which i Think every great player has... That ego is not going to allow KD to join a spurs team that has won 5 rings without him, so he can help them win another ring then be remembered by history as a ring chaser. Not gonna happen. Spurs just need to die already for Gods sake.
In my opinion yes. Curry is the best player in the world no doubt, but kd and kawhi are top 5 and Aldridge is probably top 10
All 30 teams in the league will go after Kevin Durant hard. This cyberx fella isn't telling you anything that common sense couldn't.
"Big Three" would be possible but they may have to move out a Corey Brewer or Trevor Ariza. Durant+Leonard+Aldridge (+Popovich) Curry+Durant+Thompson+Green(+ Kerr) Durant+Wade+Dragic+Whiteside?+Bosh?(+Spoelstra) Durant+Harden+Horford? (+???) Durant+Westbrook+Ibaka(+Donovan) Durant+Paul+Jordan(+ Rivers) or Durant+Paul+Griffin(+Rivers) Durant+Carmelo+Porzingis(+???) Durant+Wall+Beal(+Brooks) Durant+IT(+Stevens) Durant+Russell+Randle+lotto pick?(+Walton)
