    PHX announcing a trade on a Sunday while game 7 of the finals and the bombing of Iran dominate the news coverage because they’re about to get a steaming pile of sh*t back in return

    This will plunge the Suns further into turmoil because Rudy can’t save the Suns and the Wolves will have no defense. Opens the Rockets up to getting either Booker or Ant in the next year or so.

    My final prediction:

    Minnesota - KD

    Phoenix - Gobert or Randle, DiVincenzo, #10

    Houston - #17, 2028 FRP worst of PHX/BKN/WAS unprotected

    Some other team - Mike Conley’s expiring taken into the MLE

    News out of Phoenix that Durant has been enriched to 60%. Trade inevitable…..

    If KD headed to MN, see if we can squeeze Jaylen Clark out of the deal

    I keep saying we shouldn’t deal Green for KD but save him for potential Ant trade. He should be who we try to consolidate assets for next year

    Ants ego probably can’t handle losing. He’ll want to come play with our boys Amen, Jabari, and Sengun

    So we are still that team lead by Fred and Jalen?

    I don’t see how Minny can make the best offer if Durant has said he’s not extending there, but we’ll see.

    We really need a scorer who can consistently get 25+ pts per game.

    Bulls would be alright. Maybe we can get Coby White in the exchange too.

    It's rumored the Bulls are looking at Kuminga. Could he really be seen as a better prospect than Jalen? I'd imagine Chicago could be worked in as a third team in a KD trade.

    I don’t see what the problem is. Jalen is only 23 years old, we need to give him time…

    the playoffs isn’t his fault…Ime’s offense sucks and GS schemed to shut him down…he was making the right reads and doing what the coach wanted
