He'll prank on his new Rockets teammates, coaches and GM for his reality tv show. Everyone will feel uneasy that they're in a hidden camera show.
I want KD to be valuable but I don't know if we can get as much for him as some people think. Like others have said, one big (bad) contract, a young prospect, and a draft pick is probably the best we can hope for. When I see people thinking we will get "future picks" I'm thinking a first and a few seconds? I don't think he's getting us multiple firsts and I hope he would get us a midround 2026 pick but it depends on the team. A good team could trade for KD to push them into contention but then their draft picks won't be very good. I think Stone and Ime love KD because then they don't have to do their jobs, they can just defer. I see KD leaving only if he requests out. I could see him requesting out as he's realized he can't win a championship here. But if that's the case, then he needs to do it QUIETLY so we get a good deal for him. I would trade KD and a 2027 pick or two for a pick in this year's draft but I don't know if that's realistic or not.
Golden State at #11 and Podz/Butler, plus a few 2nd rounders feels realistic. But KD has to want to go there, and that’s the piece that’s hard to forecast. I can’t imagine he wants to go through another season with the Rockets. U could just see how frustrated he was all season. An amicable divorce is better for both sides. I suspect he’d have teams higher on his preferred list than Golden State given that he rejected a trade there less than a yr ago.
