    Durant didn’t underperform last year. His series against the Bucks was probably the best of his career. For the whole playoffs, he averaged 34 & 10 on 51/40/87 shooting.

    Looks like Dame deleted all of his IG stories with the KD photo.

    Maybe he saw it was being taken to seriously

    dame creating way too much drama on social. league rules on tampering actually includes players, even if they so rarely enforce it. Draymond got fined 50k for saying Devin Booker should leave Phoenix on TNT. Maybe someone from the league office told Dame to cool it.

    Dame has posted stuff like this before-- with Melo in Blazer jerseys 2 yrs before we actually landed him.

    I disagree. Portland very much has the assets and most teams with good front offices want to accommodate. IE James Harden, Jerami Grant. If both sides want it, Brooklyn will work with us to get assets without stripping everything for a chance to win a championship.

    KD coming back to the northwest where his career began is a fun little storyline.

    The Warriors would still be the decided Vegas favorites

    also, I love KD but he isn't coming to PDX... next

    I agree, we definitely have the assets for a team who is looking for young talent.....assuming the Nets value Sharpe.
    Other teams with lots of young assets don't really have a desire for Durant.

    I'd imagine the basis of it could look like Ant or Sharpe + Nas + Keon + picks & swaps

    Slight favor for us to keep Nassir depending on the number of picks.

    I'm looking at this like 95/5 this won't happen but it feels like it could be a great fit/legacy story. That's the 5%. The 95% no is because I don't really believe Durant could suspend his bias against Portland. Though he and Damian and Jerami Grant spent quality time together in the Olympics.

    I see a little smoke. Let's wait for the first dominoe to fall. Kyrie.
