  1. Supposedly he was open to it but the team wasn't. They thought he'd disrupt the chemistry of a young team and they're right. Durant has some downsides at this point in his career but scoring isn't one of them. As for Jalen Williams, that's a tough decision. He didn't have a good playoffs last year but that was his first one. This year has been a repeat. If it happens for a third time, then that's what you are and his trade value starts to take a hit. He's a legitimately good all around player. He can do everything on offense and might be one of the most versatile players in the league on defense. They can easily have that with him for another 10 years but will that get them a title? Working with a Durant swap, that's trading a decade of really good for one title. I don't think they'd do it but I promise you that both teams would take the call. Phoenix gets a good pairing with Booker, Jalen likely gets more money there than he would with OKC, Phoenix gets some draft picks, and they just ride out the Beal contract. OKC gets Durant along with Chet and Shai.
  2. OKC will likely asses his value in the off season if they lose. He's an All Star but if he comes back next year and shits the bed in the playoffs (again) then his value is significantly downgraded. Really, they could get Durant on the cheap at this point. Offer up Jalen for KD and a random draft pick. PHX might take it.
  3. Off season trade. I'll say it. Jalen Williams, Aaron Wiggings and some draft picks for Kevin Durant. It works for both sides.
  4. He's done everything well except score and shoot, which is kind of important.
  5. Same. He shit the bed last year, too. He's been terrible both against Memphis and Denver.
  6. Jalen Williams offering up a bloody wet tampon of a game (again). If OKC is going to win, Shai is going to have to take over. He managed the 3rd quarter with no fouls so there's that.
  7. The next big game Jalen Williams has in a big game will be his first.
  8. Shai with two stupid fouls, especially the last one. You got 3 fouls, you can't be reaching in and swiping like that.
  9. Oh, look. Murray is fine. Porter's should seems perfectly fine on offense. Oh, the drama.
  10. Now he's taken off questionable and will play. Oh, the drama.
  11. Oh, he'll play. Jeez.
  12. I'll bet my life's savings they know every single thing Hunter Biden ever did.
  13. That's not the reason. The reason is the NBA wants to give the Warriors every advantage it can. The first round schedule was ridiculous. Here's hoping they lose tonight. I like Steph but I hate the favoritism they get from the league.
  14. Dort going on a heater was not on my bingo card.
  15. OKC is Shai and a bunch of B level guys who can't hit big shots in the moment. Denver is Jokic and a bunch of B level guys who can hit shots in the moment.
  16. Denver hitting every shot they need and OKC fucking up every possessing they need. OKC gets it close and Denver goes on a 9-0 run. Dort is completely terrible and a liability but they keep playing him.
  17. This is the right answer. Trading the future for Giannis and his $178M right now is basically ceding Wemby away in five years because the team is middling. If Harper is good, that's a solid core.
  18. Dort is such complete ass on offense. Just awful to the point he's a liability.
  19. Yeah, I don't understand that apron thing at all but I do know it makes it basically impossible to have a good team 3 max guys. You're almost better off with 1 A lister, 2-3 B listers, and then a bunch of B-/C+ guys. Otherwise, it's 3 A listers and a bunch of G League guys.
  20. If Harper is any good, that roster is a 4-6 seed next season and a title contender the year after that and that's without paying Giannis $175M.
  21. Does Fox's upcoming contract extension impact whether or not SA going after Giannis? He has one year left and Wemby has two years left. Giannis is at about $60M per year the next three years.
  22. This. It would take around 100 people to be in on this conspiracy and it's impossible to keep a secret anymore. Conspiracies are for people who want to assign order to what is chaos.
  23. My two cents would that SA would be better off taking that Ace Bailey long term, assuming he can shoot. You'd have Wemby, Bailey, Fox, and Castle. That's a helluva young core for literally the next decade. MIL would want at minimum Castle and the #2 pick in addition to other assets. Giannis also has $175M left over three years.
