The Durant Sweepstakes

[FB94]

If that is something the Nets take they must have hired Bill O’Brien as GM. Do it in a second

It probably is too good to be true. But makes some sense for Nets if they are committed to a full OKC style reboot. Then they could move Kyrie to Lakers (or wherever) for ton more picks, buy out Westbrook, and rebuild around Simmons with a bunch of expiring contracts, future picks, and cap room.

They don't have their own draft picks so bottoming out does them no good.

I've never refreshed a page so many times in my life. This is madness.

I think the only time I ever refreshed ASFN so much was back in Adrian Peterson rumor period. Hopefully this one turns out differently.

 

[Mainstreet]

Wait, so we would give up Ayton, garbage, 4 firsts and 3 swaps for KD and bogdonovich? Doooooo it.

It's hard to believe the Suns could keep Bridges and Johnson and still get Durant.

Exactly. If you can, doooo it, doooo it, DOOOOOOOO IT!!!

Getting Durant would be like winning the lottery. Just way too good to be true.

Getting Durant would be like winning the lottery. Just way too good to be true.

And on a one dollar ticket.

 

[Cheesebeef]

did it happen yet?

It's going to happen. Question is just the cost at this point.

 

[Finito]

That's a salary dump by the Suns. I don't like it.

Alright that’s enough internet for you.

Come on

I mean - all those guys we are trading are expiring in a year except for Payne, and he is very movable. So if they really want cap flexibility and picks, this trade isn't as crazy as it seems at first glance.

 

[Mainstreet]

Come on

I'm wearing down. Let's get it done!

How many of those first belong to us and how many are coming from Utah?

It’s already a ridiculously stupid to good to be true trade for us but if only 2 of those picks belong to us then it’s the most insane trade ever

 

[Hoop Head]

He should announce it on twitter and break the story instead of waiting for the national media.

He did break it. It doesn't need to be posted on Twitter to be broken.

It's 4 picks from us, and 3 swaps. 2 from Utah.

That's a lot, but if we are getting Bogdanovich and keeping Mikal and Cam Johnson - that's worth the swaps and 2 additional picks to me.

 

[Mainstreet]

I read it 2 picks would come from the Jazz and 4 from the Suns plus swaps to the Nets.

And here comes the Heat.

Saw this on another board. Sounds fanciful to me.

Umm...

So... we'd have

Paul, Booker, Bridges, Cam Johnson, Durant, Bogdanovic........ Ish? Iffy?

We'd desperately need another guard and a couple bigs... gotta think we'd play a lot of small ball, but that team would be insane with shooting and wing depth.

Hell you know what, if we have Bogdanovich, Mikal and Cam - Durant will play center for us and it will work against most teams.

Holy crap, that looks like the Hershel Walker trade.

Yeah. we have the 6 mil exception, and we need a backup point guard and a center both desperately.

But I think with that lineup we will be able to over come it.

We actually could trade Cam Johnson for a center - It might give us a more balanced lineup.
