    I know this sounds insane but...
    Kyrie + Klay for KD?

    I would trade Durant for any of these..

    Miami: Wiggins/Mitchell

    Cleveland: Harden

    New York: Anunoby or Bridges/Hart

    Clippers: Kawhi

    Pelican: Any 2 of Dejounte/Trey/Herb

    Phoenix: Green/Dillon

    Brooklyn: MPJ

    Minnesota: Naz/Donte

    If Nuggets lose in the first round. AG plus fillers for KD. AG not the healthiest. But he is younger and better more versatile defender.

    I might if you can’t get a haul. I’m don’t think we have a new coach, but we are kind of just dream casting here.

    You may be right. Minnesota will have to dump a lot of salary to pay Ayo.

    he’s 31 and has played 87 games over the last two seasons. I’d rather have Denver’s draft picks and filler.

    Knicks trade OG and Hart fills a lot of voided defense.

    Kawhi Leonard as a target also. Maybe a 3 way trade for Kawhi Leonard.

    If Miami strikes out on Giannis and the Rockets take a step back from giving up assets to contend/KD wants out:

    KD for Herro + Jovic + 2026 pick + 2028 pick

    We would have to absorb/reroute Jovic's new contract and decide whether to resign Herro, but would give us flexibility and some more draft assets (potentially ~13ish pick for 2026 and late FRP for 2028).

    Could make further tweaks/moves to add more shooting:
    FVV
    Herro
    Amen
    Jabari
    Sengun

    Reed
    DFS
    Jovic
    Adams
    Capela

    I don’t think Miami does that. I see Herro & MAYBE the 2026 pick. 2 players and 2 picks and Pat says no

    I would take Desmond Bane. A big downgrade in talent but he's a decade younger, cheaper, and signed for an additional year. We have no immediate path to contention and have decisions to make about the young core, but shouldn't be rushed to do so. Bane helps in the interim and would be a culture fit, IMO. We'd have him through the rest of his twenties. I think he'd be a more flexible trade asset to more teams than KD.

    I just don't think they'd do it tbh. They have a future star SF anyway, they'd be making their fit worse to make ours better. If they'd do it you snap their hand off and block their number the minute you receive the trade contract tbh lol

    Still at least AG plays through a calf strain and grade 2 hamstring in the playoffs. KD can’t play through a sore ankle. Come on now. Grade 2 hamstring is a lot worse than an ankle sprain. Give me AG he gives a ****

    The Celtics have a $27M trade exception.

    We can trade KD to them for Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser and some picks. I think that makes us a better team AND saves $25M in salary.

    Durant/Capela for Embiid and a first.

    Play him 20 min a game for 50 regular season games.

    would love to see Ime’s expression when he learns he has to play both Pritchard and Reed. ;)
