it's so hard to avoid talking about kd with all the blasphemy and vast vitriol being vomited but it would suck even more to engage

Jrue Holiday would be old enough I could see the Suns doing something. I really don't see the pieces in Boston to put a package together though. KD with Tatum seems redundant.
And their own first rounders are likely not very good, borderline 2nd rounders at best.

Us and Boston are both projected to be well above the 2nd apron next season, making trading with each other nearly impossible. Boston would have to unload a large contract in a separate deal first.

How important is All-NBA honors to Kevin Durant?

I'm hoping he sits out the rest of the season unless it hurts his trade value.

The loop is closed.

KD sprains ankle to in his debut during season in 22-23.
KD sprains ankle with two week left in 24-25.
It is sadly and comically poetic that his first appearance at home for the suns ended before it started with an ankle injury and his last appearance at home likely ends with an ankle injury before the season’s even over.

The guy will try to play, I mean he cares so much about stats to not shoot to end quarters with 2 seconds or less. This type of player only cares about personal accolades.

KD has an elite 64.2 TS%. WOW. In some ways it feels like now that this experiment has failed we totally wasted the acquisition of KD, and wasted Booker's time. UGH.

Here is some video from ESPN and Shams Charania about those teams who might have interest in trading for Kevin Durant.

Say what you will about their production as Suns but the Shaq trade was a better deal than the Durant trade. The KD trade led to the Beal deal, which turned us into the Wizards of the West.

Both were bad, but the Durant and Beal trades were worse.
