He is not going to a team unless it's better than OKC. A lot better. That isn't Toronto. Especially a DeRozan-less Toronto.

I really feel The Raptors have a Shot at getting him.I want it to happen , But I know deep down he wouldn't go to Toronto.But I think the major thing that we should worry about is re-signing DeRozan.
I Think Toronto will Surprise a lot of people in the playoff's this year.

Toronto is a good team but they don't make nearly as much sense as any of the other spots he's rumored to go to. It's be less money than OKC, less flashy than LA, not as good as the Warriors and it's not his hometown team like the Bullets.

Adam Silver better veto that shit for basketball reasons, come the fuck on.

I agree. And not one single fuck will be given from me.
Even as a Lakers fan, having Durant on that team feels it's warranted.

Stay in OKC Durant, or go to the Wizards. I think him, Wall, and Beal could be interesting.

This game is awful.
Edit: I take that back. This is the worst game of all time.

I don't see any reason for him to leave OKC. Certainly not for the downgrade he'd undoubtedly experience going to DC. Plus, he's a god there and he and Russ clearly have a special relationship. When they're both healthy they can beat anyone and have proven they can get to the Finals. How far away from a Finals appearance does KD get by joining a DC squad that has never seen success? Fuck that nosense. GSW or OKC are his only good options. Nothing else gets him closer to a title.

Even though the East is getting better it's still a much easier road to the finals than out West. Going home to play with Wall and Beal wouldn't be the worst idea.
You also have the chance to face the Raptors.

nah plotting with Coach Luke on how to devise the ultimate small ball lineup
D'Angelo
Russ
KD
Randle
Simmons
with Clarkson off the bench
who am I kidding the front office is probably going to give Hassan Whiteside and DeMar Derozan max deals this offseason and build a 2004 playoff contender.

Warriors do have an amazing cap situation. Klay and draymond locked up a decent price

I understand why it's so cheap but that Curry contract is still amazing for what they're getting from him.

Maybe Im just projecting my personality onto him but if I was him, I wouldnt want to go to the Warriors. I dont want to join the superteam, I wanna be the one to BEAT them. If I had my choice, I would have him stay in OKC because Westbrook and him are a deadly combo, but like I said, I could see Wall and him being a pretty interesting combo too since Wall has proven to have allstar talent; now obviously he is no Westbrook but he isnt a scrub either. Just wish his shot was better lol

Another Lakers win means we're 1 step closer to the Nets pick becoming the first overall.

Kobe had 38 pts in 2016?!
The pick you're trading in a few weeks? That one?
Personally I don't think they trade that pick unless someone comes available that they or others weren't expecting - one of the Clippers bigs, Carmelo, Cousins, Favors, etc. The pick is just too valuable and is only going to increase in value the longer they hold it.
Celtics were linked to Dwight trade talks this morning, though.
Lowe was talking on his podcast yesterday about how expiring contracts may be more valuable this deadline than the last few deadlines, as teams prepare to position themselves for max cap space for the spending sprees that are coming the next couple summers. Celts are pretty stacked there with the big prize being Lee - they may be able to get a first round pick for just having that contract.

There's almost no way they trade that pick before the lottery.
I'd like Dwight, but I wouldn't give up the 2016 pick for him.

It is amazing how Sam Mitchell still can't figure out how to guard Kobe.

Raptors interested in PJ Tucker and Markieff Morris.
To think that Knicks/Nuggets 1st round pick will be used to bring either PJ back to Tdot or get Morris.
So much for the All-star stud like Boogie Cousins, or Blake Griffin

Sounds about right.
Oh, wait, we're talking about a single game? I thought you meant for the calendar year.

Currys contract has got to be the best contract by far in the NBA in terms of benefitting the team. It was a good value even before he blew up

I'm starting to sell myself on the idea of trading for Dwight. Smart, Bradley, Crowder, Amir & Dwight would be a hell of a defensive lineup. They wouldn't score shit but fuck it.
What would it take though? Dwight is a huge name but is he worth the possibility of Simmons/Ingram?
I'd rent him for Lee and non Nets picks. Hes 8 years removed from his prime and a gimp now.
LyleLanley

I'd consider almost anything besides that pick.
He's also a year removed from 16/14/2 in the playoffs.

What would you give up for 3 months of Kobe Bryant? He's just a day removed from 38 points.

Fuck Dwight
Why does Ainge want that dummy
Hell I remember sheed X KG X Perkins just destroyed Howard during the ECF years ago , don't take him
Dwight isn't staying anyway, he'll just go to New York

I'm guessing we are trading PPat and JJ?
Like i said if its not a Nets pick and any core player there isnt much downside. You can see how he plays in the system then move on. At the same time he will want Max so why rent a guy who surely wont be here?
