The Durant Sweepstakes

[Covert Rain]

Well duh. If you were not making this call you had zero opportunity. It's like the lottery, you can't win if you don't play.

Kevin Durant requests trade from the Nets and reportedly half the league called within an hour

I've been thinking about the Royce O'Neal trade as well. It seemed out of character for the Nets at the time.

I’m thinking… what’s the reason?

Durant replacement? LOL

I don't get it. He is a SF that sucks and they traded for him. How would that in any way facilitate the KD trade?

 

[Hoop Head]

Royce O'Neale is kind of a poor mans Mikal. Really makes me think we'll be hanging onto Mikal. O'Neale is a little bigger and can play some PF but I think Utah was able to play him at PF because they had Gobert at Center, which allowed them to play small everywhere else.

It's a clue if we can figure it out. If the Durant trade goes through, I wouldn't be surprised to see him in Phoenix.

Oh...so you think he would be included to Phoenix? That would likely mean Bridges would be gone. Man...I hope not.

That's the rumor on Twitter. That deal would need to become a 3 team trade to send Royce to Phoenix though because he can't be packaged with KD in a deal to Phoenix. Of course they could make a separate deal sending Royce to Phoenix but I think expanding the trade would be easier.

Royce would then be the Suns replacement for Mikal.

Well, just looking up his number he's not bad at all efficency wise and he is a plus defender - would that deal really be announced though if it was going to be included in a three way though?

 

[Mainstreet]

Huh, that’s a new one for me. Hadn’t known that. Amazing how complicated trade rules have become.

After so many podcasts and articles about sign-and-trades I'm going to let the experts do it.

I think the writing of the CBA agreement came after the verbal agreement.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

You mean like you and me and someone else take turns blowing him or you blow him alone? Because I'm down. Get it done JJ!

This thread has gotten weird

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ouchie did his best Lord Of The Darkside last night, trying to fill me with fear that someone might OKC him, but I agree. He going nowhere.

I can’t help it. Dad runs strong in my sports thinking.

Bobby Marks ranks the top 3 landing for KD

1. Toronto
2. NO
3. Phoenix

If Brooklyn insists on Bridges being included I really hope that Bobby is right for once.

 

[Ronin]

Kyrie being on the Nets is kind of throwing a fork in a deal with Phoenix. #cap complications when it comes to the Nets taking back Ayton in a trade.

I hope that makes sense.
