    Probably already has. Durant's phone is probably ringing off the hook.

    Let's wait a few months into the season and see. Trading away a 34 year old with a long injury history for a huge return could look very damn smart.

    Many thought the Celtics were dumb to trade away Pierce and Garnett until a few months into the season.

    I see an aging, now overrated point guard who always choke in the playoff, a Kobe wannabe with no defense, and Kevin Durant

    If I'm Phoenix, I'd offer anyone on the roster except Booker or Bridges.

    Durrant ($44M) <-> Ayton (S&T $30M) + Crowder ($10M) + Johnson ($6M) + Craig ($5M)

    Durrant ($44M) <-> Paul ($28M) + Crowder ($10M)

    Neil: You can take anything on the roster except CJ.

    i hope we're not stretching ourselves thin in this effort. while this madness is ongoing, there are other moves that can be made to bolster our current roster.

    A Portland trade would look like this:

    Durant ($44M) <-> Bledsoe ($19.3M) + Hart ($12.9M) + Nas ($4.1M)

    Agreed. At the same time, I feel like our moves are better done with trades than free agency, and this news likely slows everything down on that front.

    If I were the Suns or Nets I would try to work out a sign and trade between Ayton and Durant

    Not close to enough unless we also offer all our firsts we can.

    Was only looking at what it would take salary wise.
    Picks are negotiable.

    I don't get Brooklyn's motivation to acquire older talent...... they're a long way from competing if Durant is gone.
