    Now the offseason is officially official. It’s on.

    what will KD do? TheGoodGuys’ moves are in his hands. Has he conveyed to the FO he’s staying? If so, he’s staying. Has he indicated he’s wanting out? Then he’s gone, and gone to a destination he wants. (KD would ok a handful. Where? Heat, mebbe, as the Godfather wants KD as backup wish if he doesn’t get Giannis. Mavs as KD wants Kyrie. DMV to finish full-circle at home with AD and Trey?

    But for certain, what happens happens due to KD.

    He’ll do whatever helps him pass Kobe on the scoring list

    If there’s a a team out there that thinks KD makes them a contender, we should explore that option if the return makes sense for us. I wouldn’t want to take back bad contracts. Otherwise, I think we should just run it back with this team with small tweaks and see how diminished Fred and Adams are. If they are unusable, make some trades in-season.

    For a second I thought we traded for the 7th pick

    except: the determination is his. I believe that almost 100%.

    I'm not sure the Rockets could find a trade partner for KD, but if they can, I'm all for it. Get whatever you can for him, and commit to the youth movement.

    Durant and DFS to the Warriors for Butler, Podz, and the 11th pick.

    I agree. I don’t think you send him anywhere he doesn’t want to go. I also don’t think anyone other than a contender would be willing to trade for him. So you explore the opportunity. There are some questions about this team following injuries to major contributors, but KD obviously was comfortable with that team. Let’s give it a shot again if we can’t find a no-brainer deal. It’s not like FVV and Adam’s depend on speed and athleticism. They may return without significant drop off.

    Unfortunately as soon as the youngsters overachieve, somebody like a 33 year old Zion will become available and we'll do a dumb ass trade

    KD didnt consult the organization when he threw his teammates under the bus.

    The organization doesnt need to consult KD when it comes to trading his ass.

    Thank you. F*ck KD. Send his ass to Alaska for all I care. Too bad Washington spent all their dumbassery on the ghost of AD. I’d love to send him to that Siberia. Unfortunately, SA and OKC aren’t stupid enough to ruin their teams for him. Maybe to the Bucks if they are desperate enough to appease the Greek fink. Unfortunately Dallas got rid of their bonehead GM or maybe we could have fleeced them. Any other sucker teams with a decent frp this year?
