And then the Raptors put out feelers to see who wants to trade for KD, after he demonstrates once again that he is capable of leading a championship team. And Masai pr Bobby be like "Line up the players and first round picks guys."
The last 2 years of his contract you are looking at massive $50 million dollars per year and outside a genetic freak that Lebron is , there is going to be a noticeable drop off in minutes/production for a 36 year old if he is able maintain to stay relatively healthy till than.

Its good to have KD within the first 2 years. Ideally you win a championship with one or both of those years and if that's the case you give Durant what he wants after cause he earned it. If he wants to stay in Toronto for the remining of his contract, you do that. If he wants to go to a specific team and we get a something back you do that as well.

But than you have 30 year old Siakam who wants a supermax contract.....
But that's another issue all together.
It's also why you lock him into an extension this fall.

Part of me thinks that the longer this plays out, the more likely it turns into a phx/bk/indy 3 way trade. But maybe Indy is just working through the process of committing a near max contact to a big (here’s lookin’ at you Hibbert). Or maybe, as above, Masai is just chillin’

Need a refresher why? Look at Boston-Nets trade for some aging veterans years ago. Its the main reason Bos is what it is now & likely for years to come. Nets were saved (at least appeared at the time) by 2 top, 10,20 players coming in as FA. Are there "saviors" for Raps? Don't count on it. In 2 years, 36 yo KD can easily be negative value at 50 mil. Yikes.
IMO, unprotected FRPs & swaps past 2025 is an absolute no go.
As for KD pushing us over the edge for next 2 years ( in above scenario):
Bos (finalist LY) is MUCH better; Bucks SB healthy; 76er are better & had whole year & off season to "regroup; Miami was No 1 seed. We'd have to beat at least 2 of those to get to East finals, then:
Clippers are just loaded (and favourite IMO), GS is champ with some young assets to get even better; Suns were No 1 seed. If Lakers can somehow parlay Westbrook into Irving -interesting at least.
Good luck
