Kevin Durant to the Blazers

[Natebishop3]

If I could go back in time, I'd take Oden and trade him to the Sonics for Durant and a pick or something like that.

You just might have gotten away with it too. But then the disruption of the time/space continuum might have caused some nasty repercussions.

just wait til we take OKC to 7 games and get bounced and KD all of a sudden has a change of heart finds newfound respect for PDX.... thinks THAT team could be a contender with me at the 3 in the offseason and... BOOM next 5 years we're in the WCF or finals. Everyones debating the dynasty that could have been in GS and how people need to pay more attention to the blazers we all die having watched the 2 best blazers in history win a chip or two.

That foot problem with Marc is a major red flag.

NBA All Defensive team has a tendency to alleviate my worries.

Sure...I'm good with that.

Pau is simply more attainable, and I think he's actually the better fit. Nevermind the Yao/Foot curse on Marc.

He's 35 & a FA to be while Marc just signed a new deal last off season iirc... of course Pau is more attainable. If they were both FAs this summer, 8 days a week I go for 31 year old Marc, even with the foot.

So starting at the age of 36, how many years are you advocating Portland hitch their wagon to the elder Gasol?

If they were both FA's this summer I'd still take Pau due to Marc's foot issue. I think he's going to decline quickly whereas I think Pau has a few good years left in the tank. He still moves well and I don't think bigs like Marc are quite as important as they used to be.

The best part of that? Screwing Clay Bennett

Pau, Dame, CJ (twice) & Michael Jordan spring to mind as a few of the Bballers who've broke a bone in their foot. As opposed to old age, a broken bone is something players can get past.

He looks a lot better in that uniform than those piss shit stained ones the normally wears.

 

[Elton]

I think Marc Gasol is a bit of a lumberer, and will struggle to keep weight off as he rehabs.

I love Marc Gasol but I think he's peaked--not to mention unavailable. (Most likely)

Nate you greedy MF you! I love your thinking though!

Seems like a different universe.

 

[Harry's Raincoat]

It could happen!

I think he'll choose from: OKC, Wizards, Raptors, Pistons, Bucks, Clippers, Grizzlies, Pelicans and Blazers!

I think he'll choose from everyone

 

[stampedehero]

He is from the Texas region. It would seem improbable for $$ to sign and and his OKC/Texas atmosphere. Taxes are cheap in Texas

Say what!? Kevin Durant is from Maryland...

I can't believe that was 9 years ago......

Saying Durant is from Texas, is like saying that Damian Lillard is from Provo, Utah!
