    Can Grant and Durant play together? By that I mean, can Grant play small forward full time?

    I think so. He defends 1-4, so defense isn't an issue. Has a plenty good enough handle for the 3 and is a good shooter

    If there is a way to pair Dame with Durant you absolutely have to try. IMO

    Yep.
    At some point you take a chance and try to win a chip.

    If Sharpe gets you Durant it is a no brainer. I dont see Joe as the kind of guy that swings for fences, however. PHX could probably make a better offer and KD would probably rather be there than here.

    Wait why is this being brought up? Is there any evidence we’re trying to trade for him? Or that Brooklyn is making him available?

    Brooklyn’s chance for a chip is done, and they must know it. When Harden bailed, they tried to pivot. It was hope. When Simmons took so long to recover and Kyrie did Kyrie things, they were cooked.

    I don’t know. They actually went on their big win streak this year when Irving wasn’t playing and Durant was healthy, if I remember right.

    Haha, I mean sure I'd do that, not a chance Brooklyn will. We need to do a trade with Chicago and unlock our picks.

    I think this might get it done. Probably someone has done virtually identical and yes I'd throw in a 3rd FRP rather than trade them Shaedon. I would try 3 FRP's first and if that doesn't work cut out 2 FRP's, so just One FRP going to them and give them, **gulp** Sharpe.

    Oh you might also want to unlock the 2023 via Chicago and go 23 FRP, 25 FRP (protect that ish) and up to a 2027 FRP (again protected).

    Not Durant related, but Nets related, what about this trade if the Nets price is too high for Durant or they don't want to trade him at all? Nurk + Hart for Simmons.png
