RUPERTKBD Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 In case anyone is interested, Canada is playing the Dominican Republic in FIBA qualifying right now on Sportsnet.... Canada is up by 5 after the first Q, despite being cold from behind the arc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta keep Barnes out of all trade talk though. Highly doubt the Raptors have a legit chance, without parting ways with Scottie. I guess you can give them OG, Trent, and 3 first round picks. But is Masai willing to do that and is that enough for Brooklyn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mj2345 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/267765/Kevin-Durant-Only-Wants-To-Play-For-Heat-With-Jimmy-Butler-Kyle-Lowry-Bam-Adebayo Kevin Durant reportedly has the Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat at the top of his trade list. A deal to the Suns is difficult to put together because of sign-and-trade complications involving Deandre Ayton on both the Suns and Nets sides. A trade to the Heat is complicated by Durant's own desires. Durant reportedly wants to play in Miami only if the Heat keep Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry and Bam Adebayo. While it's understandable why Durant would want to play with the Heat's best players, it makes finding a trade package virtually impossible. Miami simply doesn't have the available matching salary without including one of those three players. Trading Adebayo to Brooklyn is also not allowed as long as Ben Simmons remains on the roster. This is due to both Adebayo and Simmons being signed to Designated Rookie extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With those factors in play for trades with Phoenix and Miami I wonder if the best package they could get would be OG, GTJ and a bunch of picks. With us having Barnes and Siakam as untouchables. Also if not for Durant I wonder if being a third party team in to help facilitate Durant to Pheonix where we get Ayton is an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I guess I was wrong. The Raptors have the second best odds at landing KD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody but Siakam and Barnes……to a lesser extent Fred as well. PG - FVV SG - Durant SF - Barnes PF - Siakam C - Achiuwa Bench - Porter, Young, Boucher, Jalen Harris, Banton, and Koloko. That’s a championship team right there. Edited July 4, 2022 by shiznak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucks lost a lot of depth, Middleton is coming off a major surgery and Jru is on-and-off. Raptors also without KD, swept the season series this year, albeit two of those games were without Giannis. Celtics, they tied the season series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Van Vleet, Barnes and Siakam are all still around, who are the Raptors trading? Anunoby, Trent Jr. and 1st's? I doubt the Nets do it if none of the 3 I mentioned are moved. It's not like they'll want a Gobert trade package, would they? KD's one of the top 15 players ever so he'll at least get one of them IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD's one of the top 15 players ever so he'll at least get one of them IMO. Hence why I said, is it even enough for Brooklyn to even consider? Both OG and Trent Jr. are still relatively young (24 and 23), and both averaged 17+ points a game (17 and 18). They’re also elite defenders at their positions. I mean if I had the choice between Ayton and Bridges or OG and Trent. I would probably pick the latter. Ayton’s name has the star power and potential of being great but he’s known to take nights off more often than not. Bridges is just known for his defence.

Mustard Tiger Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I hate soo much about the NBA. The way the stars run the team, the way Max deals are, the way guys demand trades. But I also love it. Keep barnes and maybe if possible siakam. Everything is fair game for KD. 100% no Barnes regardless. It would be neat to have KD in Canada. He would be a King here lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Lillard signed a massive 2 year, $122 million contract extension with the Blazers. Harden going to take a $15 million pay cut to sign 2 year deal with 76ers. Things are quiet on KD front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
