    Dame keeps reposting it LOL. I think he's literally trying to manifest/speak it into existence.

    You cannot be serious. KG was 37 when he was traded. KD will be 38 by the time his current contract is over in 4 years.

    LeBron is still a top 5 player at age 37. Are we anticipating KD to lose his ability to shoot over literally everyone?

    Since Durant wants traded wouldn’t that give them less leverage for trading him

    him wanting a trade is irrelevant. he's under contract for three years without any options.

    I can't believe I'm arguing against people that are against acquiring Kevin freaking Durant.

    That literally makes no sense. But then again, I see who wrote this and THAT makes sense that it makes no sense.

    Oh you like the slight possibility of prospects working out more than an overwhelming likelihood at one or more championships? I want Dame's "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!" moment, it would be way more low key and fucking cool. You shouldn't mean it.

    If they are losing Kyrie, they should get young pieces for him in a S&T... then get something like I'm proposing for a disgruntled KD... but you're right they won't be in a situation where they have to take less than KD is worth.

    that’s cute that you don’t think players run the league. If he wants out he’ll be traded.

    He can get traded obviously but he doesnt have the leverage to dictate his destination.

    they can and should get a ridiculous package in a trade, but they have 0 obligations to trade him to a team he might prefer. and our trade package can get beat fairly easily

    I disagree, these superstars always end up going where they want. Can’t remember the last one that didn’t.
