Winslow and the NYK pick for Johnson.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Nets are not doing anything with Durant until the summer. You're 4-5 months early in this speculation

Oops.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Phoenix is sure mortgaging a lot of there future in this trade.

 

[HoopsFanAZ]

I would expect Cam Johnson to cost a bit more ... but I like him.

 

[blazedanugz]

Well, if Windhorst said it.... it must be true.

hm

I’d love DFS or Bridges.

I’d love DFS or Bridges.

Ant and draft assets for Bridges would be a huge win for us. I have no fucking clue what the Nets are doing so I don't know what to expect out of them but Bridges next to Dame and Payton or Sharpe would be really valuable.

Ant for Bridges straight up would be a huge win for us. I struggle to say adding draft compensation to Ant for Bridges is a “win”, although it balances out the roster a lot more.

I just want to say in a delayed response.. two 26 year olds who can start on any team and one 32 year old vet who a lot of teams want plus four unprotected first rounders is an overpay for a 34 year old all time great who has already dealt with significant injuries most likely due to his age. If the Suns don't win a title because of this trade then they really fucked up!

Yep. It's the only correct way to look at this.

With Booker, Ayton, Paul and Durant they are immediately a contender. These are moves that championship teams make.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Yep. It's the only correct way to look at this.

Sorry you're wrong!
This discussion is absolutely over and there is no response worth my time to read.

Like him but don't forget he is RFA this summer and it's a weak FA class, supposedly turned down a 17 mil per extension

If I'm Sean Marks, Crowder is probably the only one of those I'm interested in offloading (unless of course he thinks Simmons is a lost cause). Dinwiddie/Thomas/Curry at guard, DFS/Bridges/Johnson at wing, Claxton/Simmons in the post...I'm very interested in seeing how that group performs.

However, I do wonder if they could use a 275lb Euro center...

Booker and Durant going to cancel each other out?

 

[bigbailes]

Booker and Durant going to cancel each other out?

Probably the same way Steph and KD cancelled each other out in GS or Klay and KD... oh wait

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Booker and Durant going to cancel each other out?

Yeah sure.

 

[andalusian]

Booker and Durant going to cancel each other out?

They just need to alternate injuries.

 

[maxiep]

Just think, all this stress and brain damage trying to figure out a package for KD could have been negated by simply honking twice.

Once again, other teams manage to make huge trades, while Portland rearranges the deck chairs on the Titanic. It’s the same story every year.

Is that right? You sure about that?

Yep, as is the Suns and Lakers bout to make the playoffs now. Blazers looking at the draft.

Don’t scare me… it could be a nightmare to play against.

 

[wizenheimer]

what's funny about this thread is to look back and remember all the weak-ass proposals of Blazer trade packages for Durant, and compare it to what the Nets actually got for Durant

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Better hope Durant stays healthy because they just the kitchen sink in to get him. As much as I want a championship I don’t think I would have gone that far. Imagine Simons, Sharpe, Grant 4 first and a swap for Durant. Feels like overpay to me

You gotta love RoLo…
