Houston gets Durant New Orleans gets #3, Fred, Drummond Phoenix gets Zion, Gordon, Landale 76ers get #7, #10
If 3 team.... allow me to dream (bars) NOP: Brooks (HOU) + #10 (HOU via PHX) + 2028 HOU FRP (lotto protected) PHX: FVV (HOU) + Cam (HOU) + 2027 PHX FRP HOU: KD (PHX) + Trey (NOP) Renounce Boban + Bullock Trade 3 SRPs to BOS for Hauser Re-sign Adams (2/ 30) Amen - Reed - Holiday Thrilla - Hauser - Nate Trey - Tari - Peavy (60) KD - Bari - Unc Jeff Alpe - Adams - Landale
No chance it’s Jalen and Jabari for KD alone. I could see Jabari +#10 to Phoenix and Jalen to a third team for assets coming back here. It’s not going to be Fred in a KD trade as much as I wished it was.
Trading JG and Jabari to PHX will be the like when we traded Sam Cassell and Robert Horry to PHX for a 35 year broken Charles Barkley.
The trade that got the Rockets to the WCFs and Phoenix had to get rid of Horry because he was such a cancer throwing towel onto his coach's face?
I really want to keep Smith. I’d go as far as offering him 4 years 104 million to sign right now. I wouldn’t do Smith+Green. I don’t even really want go trade Green. FVV/Brooks/2027 first
This may be related to including NO 1) Decline FVV's option (re-signed for 3/$99M) 2) renounce Tate 3) 3-team trade: PHX - NO - HOU PHX: Brooks (HOU) + Cam W (HOU) + Landale (HOU) cut + E. Payton (NOP) + 2027 PHX FRP NOP: Green (HOU) + #10 + HOU 2028 FRP (lottery protected) HOU: KD (PHX) + Trey Murphy (NOP) 4) trade 3 SRPs (2026, 2027, 2030) for Hauser (BOS) 5) re-sign Adams (2/$30M) FVV - Reed - Holiday Amen - Hauser - Nate Trey - Tari - Peavy (60) KD - Bari - Uncle Jeff Alpe - Adams - Bassey (VM) Have FVV's contract + BRK 2027 to go after Garland (CLE) at trade deadline
KD would do wonders for JG’s development. It would be a mistake to give up on him. We will regret it.
The world is more relative than absolute but it seems folks prefer to talk on absolute terms like things are a foregone conclusion.
