Since KD is tight with Brandon Ingram, I would look into trading with Toronto. They’ve shown in the past they are willing to take on a short window with a star to win a championship. I would look into a package centered around CMB and I would even trade KD and Sengun for a package centered around CMB and Barnes (my pipe dream).
Does anyone know what Miami was offering to Suns last year? The package we received would be less than that.
yeah unfortunately Miami wasn’t offering much. No Ware, no Herro, poor draft compensation. Pat may be a little more desperate after another play-in disappointment and the clock ticking away on his own mortality. But generally Miami isn’t a very good trade partner. For the same reason the Blazers didn’t send Dame there even though that was his desired destination. Pat is just too cheap. I would bet that if we do trade KD it won’t be to Miami.
I worry that maybe it was just the old GM who had the KD interest, but sniffing a round one advance in the playoffs may get Toronto involved. I honestly think there would be a robust market for KD since he stayed healthy and played well this season. Everyone that is making a playoff run needs an elite shooter
