All that matters is the playoffs.
And guess what not a single GM in the NBA would take Bridges over KD if given the choice.

Umm, no. We need him healthy for a good stretch leading up to the playoffs as well so we can have everything clicking come playoff time. He is a great player, but if the team hasn't had time to gel with him in the lineup it's unlikely it's going to lead to a championship.

In the last 4 seasons, Durant has played in 129 games. During that same stretch, Anthony Davis has played in 168 games.

Do we know this? Bridges has turned into a very good player and he is 8 years younger.

Your opinion is your opinion. My opinion is you are mistaken. IMO, some would make that deal but many of them wouldn't. They'd all make that deal if it were for part of a season but given KD's age and injury history, a lot of GMs would pass on that trade.
Come on.
It's fine I don't want to argue about extreme hypotheticals.

Suns are very, very close, especially given the parity in the NBA.
They can get over the top without giving up core players. Think about what expiring contracts and 2-3 first round picks can get.

I’ve been saying this for two years.
Remember, many here trashed the CP3 trade because we traded… Jesus… I don’t even remember the dude’s name who we traded that some here wanted us to pay 20 million per year.

Durant is not a superstar in his prime hungry for a championship. He might have one last run in him, we've seen this play out with the corpse of CP3. Yes, a healthy Durant puts in title contention, possibly even championship favorites but he's not even healthy enough to play right now. There's way too many questions about when he'll return and for how long he can play at a high level.
I don't want to mortgage our future to come up a dollar short still in the end. If the price for KD is truly so high it'll take 4 picks, a couple swaps, and Mikal then that's too high of a price.

Ayton in a heart beat.
Ayton's playing the best basketball of his career right now, but center just doesn't have the value of an elite 3 and D player who plays hard every night and is on a steal of a contract and who loves playing here.
I don't think anyone would be shocked if at any point Ayton started sulking and demanded a trade. For that reason alone, he is the one you move.

Make it Cam J, and they have a deal.
I'd do that. I wouldn't be overjoyed because I love Cam but it's a no brainer at that point.

I feel ill...
I hope this works but I think this is going to be a terrible trade.

Grotesque overpay IMO.
Also, I'd much rather have sent Ayton than Bridges.

KD literally a top-3 player before he got injured.
