Durant to Suns

[Mainstreet]

I was talking about Butler. Meaning that even Butler has a say in where he goes. He had a shortlist.

Yeah, almost all those high salaried stars have a shortlist except Doncic.

Doncic thinks he is the shortlist.

Reading rumblings that the Mavs might pursue Durant this summer.

I'd be all over that. Picks and pick swaps from them are likely to be really juicy... especially if they gut their team for Durant. Kyrie is old, Durant is old, AD is getting old and made of glass. That team isn't winning anything of import in the near term and if they dump a bunch of picks then they are going to be hot garbage in a couple years.

But, it's twitter rumblings, odds are it's BS. Not really sure how they'd make the money work.

Yup. That would be the perfect team to trade him to, with future picks being the key to the deal.

Then turnaround and deal Book to the Rockets for all of our picks back and we can a proper rebuild. No need to watch us be the Bradley Beal Washington Wizards with Book playing the Beal’s old role… with the corpse of old Beal beside him.

And before any of that happens, pray to god that Ishbia pulls his head out of his butt, fires James Jones and somehow finds a competent GM who can make good with the picks we’d get back for KD/Booker.

They could trade us ALL those picks they got for Luka!!! Oops, no. I wonder if Mavs fans think their trade was worse than us getting KD? At least KD has been putting up points for us, and has been relatively injury free by KD standards.

For the record, KD was injured when we traded for him and missed his first 6 games here before debuting. He played in 3 games and was taken out for a month while in the layup line. He missed 10 games then. He played in 5 games before being sat for the final 2. Giving him a total of 8 out 26 games. We'll see if AD can beat that before the playoffs start. The West playoff race is tighter so I don't think he'll get any rest games at the very end.

I thought he got injured in the layup line before he had played a single game...or maybe that was just supposed to be his home debut.

The wrath of Dallas fans may be even worse.

How does one explain trading a young superstar in Luka for no good reason other than money?

Home debut. Team was a road trip after the All-Star break.

The FO has been trying for months to no avail. Fans here are still upset.
