It's odd that he would request to be traded to the two #1 seeds. Doesn't seem like Durant behavior at all...
Also KD can’t exactly call his shot here, but if they send him to NBA Siberia in Sac or SLC or some s***, good luck ever securing a marquee free agent. The reverse of the small-market curse. The big markets can’t alienate the agents because there are fewer stars that hit the market than viable destinations so any black mark on your record and it’s game over. It’ll be a team on KD’s list or a high-profile team that’s always acceptable, full stop.
The Scariest proposl I have saw was AD and Westbrook for KD and Kyrie I don't want that in the West Rocket River
Last seasons output gave us all the more reason to believe theyre on shaky ground. Even with a vastly more talented team that was a Vegas favorite for the EC title - they were in lotto territory as late as mid march. Now they have replaced Harden with..Ben Simmons, have, i guess, Kyrie, on an expiring...again, because mgmt hates him for blowing up their season, plus whatever they get for Durant (could or should be draft heavy). That is not the recipe for a happy bunch of feel good 4 seeds. You could easily see that falling apart.
Ludicrous how many talking heads on every channel right now keep proposing nonsense like a Booker deal while getting paid for their insights into the league I literally just saw this dumb@ss Marks using his touch screen trade machine talking about how any PHX offer starts with Booker Idiot Clutchfans once again proves it's greatness
Opposing team just needs to play zone defense while Anthony Davis is injured on the bench meanwhile Westbrook and Ben Simmons argue for missing wide open threes
Why would AD agree to go play in Siberia with Russ & Ben? Maybe Klutch (I mean LeBron) really can just order him to fall in line
KD is nothing but a name without Steph Curry. He’s the greatest Robin to ever play in the NBA. Would be silly to waste players and assets on a guy that doesn’t wanna play for you, is 34, has had injury history and isn’t getting any younger. Rockets have all their picks from the past two years locked in for 5+ seasons at rookie deals. All solid potential with high ceilings. They just need to stay the course, get another stud draft pick next season and get their “Verlander” in next years FA sweepstakes. Continue the ‘stros-like rebuild. STAY THE COURSE, STONE!
Couldn't have happened to a nicer Tsai. I remember when he tried to wipe his ass on our 1st Amendment rights.
You do know KD was the best player on every team he's ever played for, including every season on Warriors, right? Warriors have 4 rings 2 with Steph as Batman and Klay/Dray/Wiggins as Robin 2 with KD as Batman and Steph as Robin
Lottery has flattened out too, really, all the Rockets have to do is get lucky once with one of their picks to make this worth it.
