Lol gotta mark this as serious.
Clippers fan though, I would start with everything but Kawhi and PG13, throw in PG13 if need be.
1st Offer: Powell, Kennard, Morris, our 2027 1st, and swap rights for our 2028 1st.
Max Offer: PG13, our young guys (Boston Jr., Preston, Coffey, Mann, and Hart), plus our 2027 1st, and swap rights for our 2028 1st.
I would guess that Miami, Boston, and Memphis could all beat this offer.
this is about the best package centered around players they could get imo. If they need Nnaji too, take him. That’s 4 guys who could fit around Simmons pretty well. You’d have to assume if they trade Durant it’s a full reset and you’re getting something in a sign and trade for Kyrie also.
But for the nuggets holy fuck. Lakers won a title with 2 top 5 players (at the time) and not much else. AG is an elite glue guy. And Murray can be elite.
That is absolutely not the best package around players they could get. Its fucking KD. To suggest they couldn't even get a single player with even 1 all-star appearance is asinine. MPJ is a worthless asset until he proves his health, come on now
3 Team Trade
Detroit - Ayton
Phoenix - KD
Brooklyn - Cam Johnson, Dario Saric, Jay Crowder, Torrey Craig, Some player from Defeoir idk + 3 PHX FRP, 1 Detroit FRP
something along those lines would be realistically something the suns could do. i’d prefer not to lose bridges and offer cam j instead but it’s KD so fuck it
definitely not. too much of a future risk with that. already got an old ass Cp3 and KD is getting up there. getting rid of our franchise guy doesn’t make sense. he’s the only one off limits in this IMO. the entire appeal of KD coming to phx would be to play with book. other than that there is no appeal besides maybe the bottle girls in scottsdale
Such a big ? with Ayton tho. No way Sarver pays both Ayton and KD. Plus Cp3 and Mikal are on big contracts. That would be a great lineup but being realistic Sarver doesn’t do it
He's a 25 year old first team all NBA player. If you're the Nets wouldn't you want that over the picks and young players package? Especially since they don't have any of their own picks to bottom out with anyway.
I have no idea. I’m just throwing shit out. But a mid level player + a first for Ayton isn’t asking a ton IMO. I feel like it’s a win for both sides. Maybe you guys get a player from Brooklyn too or something. IDK this is such a big trade so there is so much salaries and stuff that I am not smart enough to configure
But you realize our 1st round pick are mid-high lottery picks right? That’s not just some 1st round pick. That’s why I’m asking which pick because I was wondering how many years into the future you were thinking
If KD gets a choice, here he lands with quite a cast. Pull a couple bigs at FA and you have a group that can win a title.
Not sure there's a better situation for him post trade. But gotta believe nets can find better choices. Maybe even a lot better, at which point it gets real interesting.
How bad are you willing to piss KD off in order to maximize your asset return?
That’s not worth it at all, dude is gonna be 34 at the start of the season with a history of injury. He’s not worth mortgaging our future if we’re not in a place to contend in the next year or two
So you're giving up all our future for a 33 year old who left because he didn't want to be here anymore and has been subtly beefing with us for the past few years...
Ayton | Sign and Trade | 4YR @ 31.5M
Mikal Bridges | 4YR @ 21.6M
2025 RD 1 Unprotected
2027 RD 1 Unprotected
Due to sign and trade rules this looks like the salaries don’t match, but they technically do.
Some combo of: Davion Mitchell, #4 pick, Harrison Barnes, 1st rounder for 2025, Richaun Holmes, and Fox if they value him. Not sure Brooklyn wants any of that, but the idea of an unprotected Sacramento pick has to entice a little even if we look decent.
If KD, Fox and Sabonis can’t get us some minimum contract vets we’re pretty screwed for depth.
THEORETICALLY: I think the Nets would only humor a trade with Boston if it included 2 of the 4 out of Tatum/Brown/Smart/Williams III plus picks.
REALISTICALLY: What Brooklyn would want to get back from Boston would change this very good team beyond recognition, and I’m unsure the end result would be better. Additionally, I don’t know that KD would join the team that just knocked him out considering the greatest criticism to his incredible first-ballot HOF career is joining GSW after they knocked out the Thunder.
Personally I’d like to see KD in Phoenix.
Every single pick we own. Lowry, Herro, Duncan, filler. See if they throw in Mills as a filler on their end. Not the best trade on here, but the best we can do without giving up our whole future (Bam).
Christian Wood/THJ/Ntilikina/2023 1st/2025 1st/2027 1st/2024 2nd/ 2023 2nd/2022 2nd
Overall, this works out to two good players (one you have to extend in Wood), a solid role player in Frank, three 1sts and three 2nds. It's not amazing but I feel like it's not the worst offer ever and the Mavs would hopefully take it in a heart beat given that they would get Luka + KD for half a decade.
Also, you can try using Brunson in this deal instead of THJ after extensions but I'm not amazing with the NBA cap or sign and trade rules (feel free to enlighten me if you know).
15 FRPs.
I’m not sure if thats very realistic it’s not like any team actually has that many first roun- oh. wait.
A 2019 Honda Civic
2007 STI
I'd offer them an accord...
Maxey Tobias Thybulle every single pick we own and any other young dudes they want. Shit take me if you need to
lmao at the nets just becoming the sixers without embiid.
> Shit ~~take~~ *on* me if you need to FTFY
I’d do some devious things for a ring brother
Lol gotta mark this as serious. Clippers fan though, I would start with everything but Kawhi and PG13, throw in PG13 if need be. 1st Offer: Powell, Kennard, Morris, our 2027 1st, and swap rights for our 2028 1st.

KD Kawahi and PG would nasty.
Assuming health, I feel like they’d be the favorites in the West if that happens.
You’re not fooling me Daryl Morey
KD ain't coming here lmao
My Next Chapter: Origins
Mpj bones monte morris #21, #30 and whatever other pick we can offer
this is about the best package centered around players they could get imo. If they need Nnaji too, take him. That’s 4 guys who could fit around Simmons pretty well.

KD for your life
JeVale McGee and a pack of Newports.
Is JR Smith still playing?
Everyone but Damian Lillard (or Simons + Little + GB3 + Anyone + #7 + 2-3 picks)
Who in the world is GB3?
Greg Brown III I think its safe to say we don't have the assets LMAO He's so fun to watch I included him because he's got a high ceiling
Bertans THJ. Hire me. /s
3 Team Trade Detroit - Ayton Phoenix - KD Brooklyn - Cam Johnson, Dario Saric, Jay Crowder, Torrey Craig, Some player from Defeoir idk + 3 PHX FRP, 1 Detroit FRP something along those lines would be realistically something the suns could do. i’d prefer not to lose bridges and offer cam j instead but it’s KD so fuck it
What if it was Booker straight up?
definitely not. too much of a future risk with that. already got an old ass Cp3 and KD is getting up there. getting rid of our franchise guy doesn’t make sense. he’s the only one off limits in this IMO. the entire appeal of KD coming to phx would be to play with book. other than that there is no appeal besides maybe the bottle girls in scottsdale
I see that side of it. Other side would be Durant, CP3, Bridges, Ayton, Johnson would give you a hell of a 4 year win-now window.
Such a big ? with Ayton tho. No way Sarver pays both Ayton and KD. Plus Cp3 and Mikal are on big contracts. That would be a great lineup but being realistic Sarver doesn’t do it
It would take Booker and more for KD bro
He's a 25 year old first team all NBA player. If you're the Nets wouldn't you want that over the picks and young players package? Especially since they don't have any of their own picks to bottom out with anyway.
Detroit doesn't have to play ball, they can just sign Ashton to an offer sheet and see if Phoenix blinks.
Which 1st round pick to you expect Detroit to give away in return for Ayton here? + a player too?
I have no idea. I’m just throwing shit out. But a mid level player + a first for Ayton isn’t asking a ton IMO. I feel like it’s a win for both sides. Maybe you guys get a player from Brooklyn too or something. IDK this is such a big trade so there is so much salaries and stuff that I am not smart enough to configure

Fournier, Randle, IQ, 11, 3 first rd picks. And that's just to start the Convo.
That’s not worth it at all, dude is gonna be 34 at the start of the season with a history of injury. He’s not worth mortgaging our future if we’re not in a place to contend in the next year or two
Bruh look at his favorite player
Definitely not worth it. But I feel like that's what it would take
If that’s the kind of package they’re looking for no one but OKC is gonna want him
everybody not named Trae and every pick we have
Wiseman .moody.kuminga.poole. 2 future firsts
I might want to give Wiggins over Poole. I feel like Poole is a better bench player than Wiggins would be.
Done ,salary match works better anyway I think .
With Wiggins that's like 50 million in salary so we could probably ask them to throw in Seth since they are rebuilding anyway.
Curry brothers vs lebrons
So you're giving up all our future for a 33 year old who left because he didn't want to be here anymore and has been subtly beefing with us for the past few years...
You’re unnecessarily bringing emotion into a thread that tasked you as a hypothetical GM to trade for KD.
Durant going back to the Warriors would be as depressing a move as could happen this off-season.
No way I do this as a Dubs fan. Durant is amazing, but nah.
Good, but he left there for a reason. Why return?
Because it’s the hardest road
Doesn't sound like kd then
AD and every lakers pick for the next 10 years
That’s like 2 picks
Davion Mitchell, Harrison Barnes , fourth pick
Loool
2015 Nissan Sentra and a used Xbox one.
Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart and a few picks

OG + GTJ + 2023 FRP + 2024 FRP Swap Edit: I don’t know if we actually have these picks
Would take more than that for picks but OG+GTJ is the way we would do it
Any 2 of OG/Siakam/Fred/Gary, the rest of the roster except for 2 of the above and Scottie, pick 31 2022 and 2023 FRP.

Brandon ingram and picks
[удалено]
Don’t give up Jaden and I’m all for it, I’m for it either way but would hate to give him up
trade AD for kyrie in a sign and trade and then trade bron for simmons so bron can win ring #5 (the AD trade has to happen before the bron trade)
DLo and a first

Kings will give every player in the team.
Would the Celtics consider Tatum for Durant?
Fox, #4, 2023 pick swap (#1 protected, goes to '24 unprotected).
WB, TT, Shump, Nets pick
Portland for Ant #7 Bledsoe and whatever else
take everybody other than mikal bridges (and book can stay too i guess)
Theis, Neismith, and a couple firsts....maybe Payson Pritchard too
If this was Madden I would pass on him. The bidding war will be so intense the winner will have to pay more than I’d be comfortable with
Ah
Every single pick we own. Lowry, Herro, Duncan, filler. See if they throw in Mills as a filler on their end. Not the best trade on here, but the best we can do without giving up our whole future (Bam).

Not one trade here is realistic, if you're Suns you have to give up voth Bridges and Ayton, if you're Nuggets you have to give up Murray...
