Koloko being a starter is about... 3 to 4 years off, best case. So... not exactly a concern....

[DanH]

I think you are dramatically more optimistic than is warranted....

[DanH]

Right.

So, these teams trading for KD, they are assuming they are trading for a one year rental of KD? Or 4 years of KD?...

[DanH]

Blazers can't really even trade their picks right now because of protections on the ones they've already traded. They aren't in the running, for the ...

[DanH]

Have you, like, missed the last decade of the player (and specifically star) empowerment era? If KD asks out (which is the only reason the Nets would...

[DanH]

Yeah but the teams trading for him have every reason to care about whether he wants to be there....

[DanH]

No one did but if we aren't, we're not trading for him.

Dejounte is a good offer. Probably equal to the OG and Trent offer. Who are the Bulls...

[DanH]

This is tough. I think it depends on if there's a pick package too. KD with Precious, Gary and Fred is not quite the championship roster you'd hope for...

[DanH]

The Nets... aren't stupid? Didn't they just fumble a theoretically dominant big three into a disastrous tear down in a matter of months?

...

[DanH]

KD is the best basketball player alive? Right now?

Your position is that every team with an all star would trade that all star plus a pile...

[DanH]

Yeah silly of me to think our all-NBA guy and all-star who happen to be the main two holdovers from our championship run would be the players Durant would...

[DanH]

I dunno, I had him top of my board and half my board was bigs. I thought they would be hunting a C, personally. I'd have pegged it above 50%....

[DanH]

Yes, quite a mystery, the good player might want to play with the good players. Call me magic....

[DanH]

100%. The Nets had a big three, will likely lose Kyrie for nothing and traded Harden for Simmons. If they are forced to move KD, the entire plan for them...

[DanH]

I mean, there's a difference between Dewan Hernandez picked at 59 and Christian Koloko picked at 33. Heck, the closest comparable for this front office...

[DanH]

Well, which team is offering an all star and picks? And are they on KD's list?...

[DanH]

If KD wants to come here, it's to play with Pascal and Fred (and Scottie).

You could probably convince him you don't lose much by sending...

[DanH]

Why the certainty that there would be a better package than OG, Trent and a pile of picks? I don't think we can say that for certain....

[DanH]

Well, I mean the response was a little odd in that presser, he seemed to be referring to the fact that obviously if they were picking 1st overall they...

[DanH]

Seems to be quite the shooter. Will be interesting to follow along as I expect he plays mostly with the 905 this year and maybe gets a couple tryouts...
