The Durant Thread

God that's a horrible trade.

 

They don't have any picks for a long time.
Tanking doesn't do them any good.

 

Yeah, that's bad. Plus it devalues the picks they already have from them.

 

They don't have their own picks.

Also the players we are talking about here are not old lol. Ayton is 24. Bridges 25. Jaylen Brown 25 etc etc.

 

they can still assemble a playoff team, but thats all

maybe thats what will make joe tsai happy, its a profit after all

 

I hate Daryl Morey.

 

Brown would be solid.

Ayton and Bridges is so meh..... and so expensive.

Just because they don't have their picks doesn't mean they can't get young talent and picks from the other team. I guess I don't understand the strategy of bringing on enough talent to maybe make the playoffs. Doing it to screw Houston out of good picks?

 

I don't know what your idea of young is, but these are young players lol.

 

I'd be shooting for guys who are in that 19-22 range. Young enough that when they DO get their picks back, they're still well within their prime. Guys who are 24-25, and let's face it aren't really stars.... I'm not sure what purpose they serve. Ayton is going to be overpaid for what he is. They need to surround Simmons with shooters.

 

Ok

 

So half of your tweet is accurate. Miami does have the night life but they also have more homeless per capita and far more homeless per square mile than Portland does. I get it that when a problem is in your face you think it's the worst it can get but what's actually happened is our city has just had an influx that is putting it closer to other major cities. Just want things to be clear.

 

jake said this could end up with Kyrie going to the Lakers.

ugh

 

Let's see if Anfernee's deal gets inked after free agency begins. If there is significant delay.....hmmmmmm

 

Yeah he’s supposed to be this genius. But in reality he just glues together “super teams” that don’t win shit and have to be disassembled in a year or two because the chemistry sucks ass or one of the stars hates the other.

 

BKN should insist on expanding the trade to include Ben Simmons from their side and James Harden from Philly...

 

Jake said Nets wouldn't have much interest in Ayton, but would start the discussions with Devin Booker.

 

Exactly. That’s why your comment about Portland being too far from their families on the East Coast makes no sense. It’s not a matter of distance; it’s a matter of lifestyle and culture.
