The Durant Sweepstakes

[overseascardfan]

If they want to throw some stars together and hope for the best, that's on them. It didn't work the last time around for the Nets.

The point is, it seems BKY wants no one on the Suns roster except for Bridges and Booker and it seems PHX may be holding out Bridges in a potential deal. Even if a package centered around Bridges, BKY may prefer AD over Bridges. KD may have said PHX is his choice but BKY doesn't have to honor his request and if they can send him and his buddy Kyrie out together he may be willing to go to LA to team with LeBron and stick it to GS next year.

Suns: KD
Nets: Mitchell + Bridges + picks
Jazz: Simmons + Ayton

Suns: KD
Nets: Mitchell + Bridges + picks
Jazz: Simmons + Ayton

Is that actually allowed with all those max restrictions?

That is a pretty balanced trade I have to say - but the salaries don't match.

 

[Ronin]

Westbrook plays defense?

 

[Cheesebeef]

This is all bananas.

I understand your thinking. The NBA is going crazy today.

Okay, very interesting. It likely makes the Durant trade work and some change left over.

Get picks to throw at NJ?

 

[Chaplin]

The interesting thing is that in all these big trades, it's fringe (or simply average) players plus a boatload of picks. You gotta think a guy like Cam or Mikal is worth more than most of what is being included in these other trades.

 

[Proximo]

What do they have left other than picks - Bogdanovich? what about clarkson is he under contract? I'm asking in case Mitchell cant be included.

I do really like Bogdanovich and Clarkson

 

[Covert Rain]

OK, now that trade is making more sense if this is to position getting Ayton.

It's volatile and even guys like Windhorst can't keep up because the situation is changing by the minute it seems.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

Well I'm assuming it's Ayton plus significant other pieces, so yes, any trade.

Ayton/Cam J/two firsts is too rich for your blood? I'd do it in a second.

I wouldn't want to be in the NBA league office trying to process these trades.

Not just that....it's simply been crazy! More so than in a long time.

 

[Chaplin]

Utah strongly becoming a potential 3rd partner in the trade.

The Royce O'Neal thing is very interesting in what we are seeing.

 

[Lefty]

I would do Ayton and 4 first-round picks.

That is a damn good deal for us. It's what I have been hoping for all along.

I will give James Jones 2 years of no criticism if he pulls that off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Game over. Game over.

Yes, it does suggest it may be part of the deal, and they just needed to move Gobert to finish it.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

Game over. Game over.

Huh? They could want to build around Ayton/Mitchell. Seems like a smarter strategy than building around Gobert/Mitchell.

 

[GatorAZ]

Between our picks and Utah’s the Nets could get like ten 1st rounders for KD.

 

[Mainstreet]

Okay ladies and gentlemen. Put all your chips on the table.

 

[Proximo]

Game over. Game over.

Huh?

It doesn't have to be mitchell in the deal. Bogdonavich and Clarkson add up to about 33 million. Throw in picks and Cam Johnson and Payne and the nets may take it.
