The first day of NBA free agency is off to a rip-roaring start. Before the doors even opened for teams to make deals, a bombshell dropped: former Golden State Warriors superstar Kevin Durant has requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets.​

What would you give up?

What would you give up if privately we got a yes from LeBron?

Gotta Match $40 Mil in salary ...

Pipe dream - whatever it would take to get LeBron (LAL), Ayton and Bridges (PHX), Rubio (MLE) and leave us Garland and Agbaji, Lauri, Okoro, Stevens, Wade, etc.

This would probably mean S/T Sexton, Cedi, Love, LeVert, Allen, picks, and maybe? both Mobleys gone.

(Durant to PHX)
(Mobleys/Sexton/Love to LA)
(Allen/LeVert/Cedi to Nets)

No idea if feasible ($), purely hypothetical/fantasy. And then there's the whole LBJ wanting to play with his son thing. Might be easier to have a lotto pick next year and sign LBJ outright.

Or, as another poster reminded us of how he left us before, LA will get nothing and they will like it.

I don’t want Durant….he has yet to prove he can carry a team.

People out here wanting us to go get a player who has a broken body. Yes when he plays he's still amazing. Sadly that's the issue. He's always hurt. Has played 105 games in 3 years.

Durant has no heart.

Durant was too good for Golden State lol

The NBA needs to find a way to address this phenomenon.

What is the point of multi-year contracts?

These guys have zero heart nor character. No patience.

It is almost comical now how quickly these guys give up.

The most talented generation of pussies ever.

A resigned Collin Sexton, Cedi, Windler, Okoro, Stevens or Wade, and a couple draft picks. Would take Harris off their hands for Levert if they wanted. That's it.

For Lebron, I'd help Russ get to Charlotte, take Hayward and give LA the same deal (a resigned Sexton, Cedi, Windler, Okoro, Stevens or Wade, and A draft pick, cause he's older).

Adam Silver is a player’s commissioner! He lets them run the league. Stern would have said “You signed a contract honor it”.
Stern wouldn’t let teams circumvent the salary cap like Silver does.

OKC fan here.

If the Cavs somehow got Durant, I'd never show up here again.

The product sucks, almost all of the players are unlikeable, outside of the last couple rounds of playoffs why people watch the nba still is beyond me.

I can tell you personally that I enjoy watching fundamentally sound play, some excitement - all which we had last year. I think the Cavs have likeable guys. I also enjoy the on air personalities. There's more to like than just the game. But yes, there is plenty not to like (mainly politicking for me). Keep that shit out.
