@@EventualWarlord in denial about what? well maybe i had to put more info about my views, I actually think that KD cant win without another player being a leader so mostly agree with a point, but at the other hand not that much info cuz most of his carrier he played with Russ, and while Russ was insane on paper at the start of his prime i already said that this guy would never win a championship while hes starting point guard for any team, his only chance is when hes old and playing from the bench. Just no chance you are favorite to win when your point guard playing against the best shooter of all time and see him stop & pop 3 pointer and he decides to do the same while being terrible perimeter shooter. And for Durant, I actually think nothing wrong to just be very good ball player who just wants to go on the court and play, but at the same time if you are like this, having conversations for him to be one of all time greatests sounds silly to me.

@scottmurphy6162 Год назад

Totally disagree with Wildes and Broussard about Boston. Jaylen Brown is 25 and has continued to improve on both ends. KD will be 34 next season, and while he’s better than Jaylen and Tatum right now, his age and injury history suggest his decline is imminent. I don’t know if Boston will make it back to the Finals with their current roster, but I also don’t think it’s a guarantee that will happen with KD. Why not run it back and retain your assets instead of blowing it up to bet on an uncertain title run?

@jorgegamboa5821 Год назад

Boston caught a couple of nice breaks this finals run.. no Middleton and no Herro (6MOY). So it is going to be very hard for them to get back if they stay the same. If they only trade Brown and picks for KD, Boston would get substantially better. Jaylen is a nice player, but he's no Kevin Durant.

@connorsmith6517 Год назад

@revealingtruth3329 Год назад

I like Jaylen Brown a whole lot but I’ll drive him to the airport myself in return for KD. He isn’t anywhere close to the player KD is

@MrJones019 Год назад

Well I totally agree with him. No matter how good Brown becomes he's never gonna be close to KD. Adding KD gives you 3-4 year run for the title. What do assets mean if you just keep them for the sake of it, winning is the thing that matters. No guarantee Boston wins with either Brown of KD, because guarantees do not exist in life, much less in sport. However, your chances are much higher with KD, or at least I think so and that is what Wildes is pointing out. Not even talking about just Boston. Let's take the Raptors example: let's say Barnes develops to be great. That could give you a chance of 10% of winning a title over the next 10-15 years (the number is probably lowe as a looooot of factors influence this). Now, let's say KD gives you just 11% chance of winning over 4 years, you take that chance. Bottom line is a lot of factors go into winning a championship/developing a star player (A LOT). KD is a certainty, no other player not named Curry, LeBron, Giannis, Embiid, Jokic or Doncic (throwing a younger one) are.

@scottmurphy6162 Год назад

@@jorgegamboa5821 KD is absolutely better than Jaylen, but the Nets reportedly want a king’s ransom for an injury prone star who’s at or approaching the end of his prime.

The problem with the Wolves trading Edwards for KD, is that KD is on the back end of his career, and has an extensive injury history. This means your window for success is very short in a league stacked with great teams. But since Edwards is on his rookie deal, and will almost certainly sign an extension + potentially a supermax after that, you're talking about well over a decade of his _potential_ greatness

I would love to see that and it probably would make Minnesota contenders, but I don't see it actually happening.

The fact that the majority of championships are won by teams with a top 15 player doesn't prove that you need to get someone who is ALREADY considered a top 15 player to win a championship.

@Tocoolant Год назад

This is crazy.. historically speeking you need a top 5 player in the league to win a championship. I would bet on a 3 years stretch of tries with KD over any player on this list aside of Curry, Luka and Giannis. Embiid and Jokic are great but this is a guard oriented league. Tatum floped on this finals on a way I wouldn't see KD flopping. Memphis at certain point was playing better without Ja and Zion is very enjury prone. Mobley and Edwards I'm not even going to discuss. If I was on Minesota entourage and I would know for a fact that the GM declined a trade of Edwards for KD I would call the cops.

@Mektek19 Год назад

In the past 30 years you need at least a top 25 player to win a chip. Only one time has a team won without one and that's the Pistons in 2004. That may change once thus current crop retires but as it stands that is the barometer. The only player that looks like they are heading there is Luka maybe Tatum.

@fishbone3333 Год назад

That Pistons team was the perfect storm of a bunch of very good players who played well together (and also played great defense) that went up against a dynasty in the Lakers that was already on the decline. When it comes to how teams need a transcendent superstar to win a championship, I wonder how much of this is chicken versus egg. The NBA is a superstar driven league and they are invested in superstars getting their chips and as such the games are refereed to reflect the league's interests.

I think they have to break the bank to get him and KD on the same roster to make runs while they are still both in their primes. I really don’t see any other team giving up that much. Especially teams with young stars as their best players which the Nets would want. I also think that if KD isn’t traded by then, the Blazers have a chance to test Anfernee and Sharpe on the court with Dame. I think depending in how they look, the could trade for KD. If they look like an actual team that can go deep, than don’t trade for him but if they look nice but they’re still at best a 2nd round exit, just go on with the deal.

@talmanes4589 Год назад

A lot of people, including the Nets and many fans, want to act like this is prime KD from 4-5 years ago on the trading block. It isn't. This is an aging, post major injury KD on the trading block.

@itshardtofindaname Год назад

It wouldnt just he scottie barnes though. To match KDs salary it would probably also include Pascal, or fred and OG or gary trent. Plus picks. Why would the Raptors wants to give up the whole team for a guy who been perpetually miserable everywhere hes been. They wouldnt be a contender if they had to give all there team up

@nathanzimmermann4122 Год назад

Since 1990’s every NBA dynasty has run the triangle. Bulls, bulls, Lakers, GS. In fact over the past 32 NBA seasons 15 of the winning teams ran the triangle. So nearly 50% of teams over a 30 plus year window who won the NBA championship ran the triangle……. And that number will continue to grow.

@joeyattaway756 Год назад

@nfrancis11 Год назад

Is KD still in his prime? Maybe or at the end of it. Thing is he is a depreciating asset at 34 years old. Doesn't make sense giving up the farm for him. Need depth to win it all. That's why golden state got lucky. All they had to do was make the numbers work because they added him instead of trading for him.

@jamesbingham1007 Год назад

Golden State. It's the only trade that makes sense for both teams and the player asking to be traded. Kinda poetic.

The CAVS can afford KD and maintain a great roster. Why is nobody discussing this? Check the trade machine. Evan Mobley, Kevin Love, Okoro and Osman for Durant and Joe Harris. The Cavs roster is Garland - Levert - KD - Markkanen - Allen. Sexton - Harris - Rubio off the bench

@SamoaVsEverybody814 Год назад

Wilds is correct here. Boston ain't winning a title as currently constructed. Probably not even getting out of a healthy East, and Durant to Toronto makes the Raptors an instant contender If you're close and wanna win a championship, do what you gotta do to bring Durant in. Cus you ain't winning as currently constructed

@schuylersavage276 Год назад

Wtf? Boston was just 2 wins away from a title. In fact, they were up 4 late in game 4 up 2-1 and only stepgs clutch ness and a few missed open 3s from Boston changed that seties. Or we could look at the way the refs let Dramtond swing game 2..even with bostons issues, they were SO close to winning a title this year. How can you say so confidently they can’t win one lol? What!?

@shaynegreen8509 Год назад

Lol Durant ain't win a championship in OKC or Brooklyn. He is 34 with major lower extremity injuries in his most recent seasons. We are already the favorite to go back with a different outcome by Vegas, and Durant maybe has 1-2 years left of top 5-10 output. Yeah mortgage your teams future who have been at the door fighting to get through for an injury prone 34yr old. The Nets would ask for JB, Smart, and Rob plus picks. Wilds is wildn

So interesting a while back when First Take begun, Skip accused him of having "sold his soul"/ Journalist Integrity, because he was defending Lebron. Turns out Skip was talking about himself.

You could replace KD with Kawhi in that list and you'd have only 3 teams who won without players from the list. And I m not sure trading kD with JB (and the rest you have to add in to make it even) would be worth it

@randygraham926 Год назад

First time Warriors got Durant, it was a free agent signing. They had to trade Andrew Bogut away to make room for Durant's salary but otherwise they didn't have to give up players. This time they would have to give up Wiggins -- who played great in the finals -- & Kuminga, etc. to get him. Wiggins is just 27 and not having health issues. And a better defender. Durant at 34, with recent injury issues and a questionable attitude, is probably not the right choice for the Warriors who have great chemistry and just won a title without KD.

@activatebpm Год назад

That list of players on rookie extensions keeps getting brought up..... The Nets can't trade for those young stars while Ben Simmons is still on their roster. Why is Simmons getting moved again not being discussed as an option for the Nets to get one of those guys? The only thing I can think of is that maybe the Nets wanna let Simmons show what he can do over the first couple months of the season to generate more perceived value, then move him before the trade deadline? Even if that's the Nets' strategy, nobody seems to be mentioning that the Nets CAN get one of those young stars in exchange for Durant IF they move Simmons. Three team deal with Lakers and Suns? Lakers get Kyrie and Harris, Nets get Westbrook and Booker, Suns get Durant. Or something like this, including picks and additional players to make the money right. Ayton would be involved somehow as well. Major shake-up! There are a few ways these three teams could put good deals together.....
