The Durant Sweepstakes

At the time, I thought the rapidity we got Bledsoe out of here was a mistake but after seeing this drag out...

That's sort of nebulous. "Not of substance" is about as vague as you can get. So, we have talked but nothing of "substance" could simply mean they are really far apart. At least we know they have talked to each other. Himmelsbach is the same guy that reported that the Celtics management is in constant contact with Jaylen Brown about the situation last week.

It's all seems so unclear and yet the media keeps talking about it.

I guess it's better than going through the schedule game by game.

When it gets to training camp and Durant doesn't show up the Nets are going to look exceptionally stupid.

Really really curious to see this whole thing blow up, hopefully sooner rather than later so we can finish building the team.

Well, there was the James Harden for Ben Simmons trade as well.

The Nets are such a bad organization.

They used to say that about the Suns.

That's because since Sarver took over it's been true. Only hiring JJ has seemed to turn thing around.

The Grizzlies are reportedly expressing interest in Kevin Durant. They could offer 5 first round picks.

I was a little concerned Memphis might throw their hat in the ring. They have the depth to make a deal without gutting their team. I think JJJ has to be part of it though. Not including him is like the Suns not including Mikal as far as needing to send a youngster with high upside who is at a solid level already. The pairing of Ja and KD would likely make Memphis a favorite in the West.

The Griizzlies have so many ways to go. This is one hypothetical but the Nets will want different players.

These trade rumors get passed around like an STD by the media.

I think it's more the Nets leaking to the press like a pimp trying to drum up "sales".

The Nets want better trade packages for Durant or they are going to keep Irving.

Gotta love the '70's. That's the decade when human traffickers were considered lovable quirky characters on prime time TV.

I remember when that movie came out in 1989 (I'm Gonna Git You Sucka). One of my friends "backed up" the VHS tape when it came to rental. We ended up watching it more times than I can count. It's a great parody by Keenon Ivory Wayans that made fun of all of that. One of my all time favorite scenes from any movie was the Isaac Hayes, Chris Rock scene when he was trying to buy ribs.

P.S. I found out years later this movie was actually the brainchild of Eddie Murphy.

One of the best spoofs of all time. Up there with the Airplanes of the world.

OT:

I ignored the movie Dumb and Dumber for years, but decided to watch it awhile back. It was hilarious.

Passing along twitter news... this seems so old.

The Suns reportedly have tried to upgrade their offer for Kevin Durant with the help of a third team.

Reportedly Mikal Bridges was part of the offer.

If the Suns can find an All-Star player to add to the trade, they might want to keep him.

I believe it was about 3 to 4 weeks ago, but Gambo reported the team was seeking a 3rd party to help in a trade. I thought I had posted it. Gambo said it's firsthand knowledge from the organization. Sounds like this person is just hearing about it. Although, it sounds like the Suns have had no luck which might be new.
