brownie man Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 14 minutes ago, stl4life07 said: Age isnt a deal. He is still playing at an MVP level. His style of play makes him age well. He doesnt depend on volume shots or high usage. He could technically go to a team and play 30 minutes and still drop 35pts on 18 shot attempts easily. Im not saying he can’t play. but when you thinking about trading a player like Devin Booker for example who is 25 vs KD who’s about to be 34 you got to factor what’s the better move for your franchise. You could have 10 years of a Booker before you even get to wear KD is now basically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well obviously the Suns wouldnt trade Booker for KD just bc the Suns would want KD to add to Booker and CP3 bc they are in a win now mode. Just like the 76ers wouldnt trade Embiid for KD bc they want to add KD with Embiid and Harden bc they are in a win now mode too. But with the 76ers they would instantly move off of Maxey as a centerpiece for KD. Maxey is young and emerging as potentially a superstar one day. So I guess in theory I do see your point in Im seeing it in a totally different way lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Smithers Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 1 hour ago, brownie man said: Exactly bro. There’s not a trade you can make that’s equal value to a KD with 4 years left. Especially when you factor in that list of players they can’t trade for. I think he stays put. I think the problem is that the Nets don’t appear to be standing in his way and stupidly are willing to break this up just as much in the name of freaking “culture”.

They are willing to do this bc they don’t want to deal with the mess that is Kyrie. As I mentioned before, things must’ve been extremely bad behind the scenes with the organization as a whole and Kyrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDez Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I wouldn’t gut the team for KD when 2/3 of your stars are injury prone and aging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ForTheThumb Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I think they end up working something out and get him to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have every right to ask for a kings ransom here. There team is actually still very good and could compete with anyone. Kyrie - Harris - Simmons - KD - Claxton with Mills, Curry, Thomas, Warren, Royce off the bench. Get someone like Boogie for vet min and they’re right there at the top of the east.
