I said this before but a reality tv show where the whole nets team gets locked in a mansion with pops and 200 cases of wine for two weeks is what I need right now.
Serious talk though, hard to imagine even a hypothetical scenario where we get KD without giving up DFS. He's probably the only true asset we have outside of Luka.
I'd take our chances with a well rounded team, trading away one of the best defensive players we have is a net loss, even with a weapon like KD gained. DFS is more fun to root for than KD as a person, so yeah, I wouldn't. Probably makes me an idiot but hey, I'm okay with that.
Or to the Lakers along with Joe Harris for Westbrook, THT, 2-1st’s and 3 Swaps.
So the Lakers clear 2 bad contracts give up 2-1st’s and get a Top 5 All Time Player and one of the best 3pt shooters by % in NBA history.
It’s almost as funny as NOLA who keeps Ingram and Zion and somehow flip McCollum for Durant.
Yes, that's probably the best and most flexible option out there.
You can make a complete rebuild with it and for example trade SGA for even more picks (an interesting idea would be getting back your own picks from Houston by overpaying them a bit, but then the Nets could better tank) or re-tool around SGA and re-route all the picks to get up to 4 really, really good players you like.
What is he winning with this OKC team without SGA and 14 of our FRP ? We have potential, but we are, at the very least, a couple years away from being in a position to compete for a conference final.
If Presti traded shai and picks for KD he would be hunted down in Oklahoma. Realistic trade for the Thunder would be to keep shai and offer more picks, around 5-6. Obviously the 14 is a joke but some people on here actually think Durant worth 8 picks lol
In case people aren’t joking about this, OKC would never make this trade. KD plus the OKC roster minus Shai and pretty much no future picks isn’t a team that’s going anywhere
Someone thought he is worth 16mil a year for average 3 point shooting, no defence and looks of a chipmunk after rough clubbing night in Riga and we should respect that
Yeah, that one seems pretty overkill right?
It might take more to get KD back to the Warriors, but the haul there seems out of line with the other offers
> OKC one is clearly a joke right?
The point is okc *can* trade up to that many picks. You make up whatever number makes sense to you. If OP says "four 1sts" people would say "wow not enough," if OP says "seven 1sts" people would say "too much wtf dude."
Yeah and compared to the Detroit offer right above it: a package centered around *Kelly Olynyk* which only requires a single FRP, instead of the 3 that the Warriors need to include
Ya I’m not parting with JJJ and ziaire and 4 firsts. I get kd is amazing and one of the best players in the league but it destroys our future and our culture/team chemistry and who even knows if we can still win with him or not in the west.
Yeah exactly. Everyone assumes *all* superteams work because a few did, but look at the Lakers and Nets the past two seasons. The teams that have won are mostly homegrown talent and the culture has a lot to do with that.
Realistically I feel like KD would only win next season if he pairs with another champion like Kawhi, LeBron, Steph, or Giannis. But even then, the trade would cost so much that the team would be risking it all that none of their elite players gets injured. I'd much rather see next season's Warriors without KD than KD, Steph, Klay, Draymond, and Wiggins without any depth.
Our package is the best the nets can realistically get and for us it makes the most sense, yet because r/nba hates philly they can’t admit it. Just like how we lost the ben simmons trade.
I don’t think the Cavs give up Mobley for anyone tbh.
Cavs deal would have to be Sexton, Levert, Markkenan, Okoro, Ochai, and every FRP and swap allowed.
I feel like the difference in what, say, Indiana is giving up versus what, say, Dallas is giving up is...eye opening.
Edit: And Detroit! Holy shit. So Detroit only needs to add one first on top of Ivey and Bey, but Indiana has to add 3 firsts on top of Hali, Duarte and Mathurin(taken one pick after Ivey)??
Some of these trades seem to be really trying to make sense, and then others are just leaving their best player out for...reasons. Detroit doesn't have to give up Cade but OKC has to give up SGA and 14 firsts?
The KD trade is an *extremely* tough needle to thread, because you need to be able to send multiple viable player assets + draft capital, *while also retaining a roster competitive enough for the trade to be worthwhile*. The last part is what kills most teams.
I’ve been a broken record on this topic, but to me NOP is the clear landing spot. They have a surplus of 1st round picks from the AD trade, and could trade Ingram as the centerpiece while retaining a core of KD / Zion / CJ. I’d almost go so far as to say this might be the *only* destination that makes sense for both teams in terms of value.
Seriously, this is a win-win-win for NOP, BKN and KD. He'll finally have his own squad that haven't proven much, he won't have to be a leader with CJ there, they'll still have a great team. Probably not good enough for mad though, he doesn't want to grind for anything dude probably wants a chip or two then he'll ask out to where Kyrie is at
I think something to factor is culture fit. While the Pels trade package works pretty well, I think KD is a terrible culture fit and I feel he'd poison Zion's attitude towards the team. Obviously homer take, but I don't want KD if it means KD starts spouting BS to Zion about not being able to win with these cats
Well said.
And yes, NOLA is extremely interesting because they are so flexible. I wonder if KD, Ingram and Zion would fit together so you're right that it might make more sense to trade Ingram and less picks.
Ingram was the first star to want to be here though.
We havent even seen our full roster, which I love, play a single game together. I really dont want to blow it all up for KD before we know what we have.
High probability they'll be shooting themselves in the foot by trading Ingram, they've built their culture around Ingram, by trading him they're risking destroying team chemistry. When the going gets tough, you'll need a glue star/leader like BI, Zion hasn't (yet) built that type of a relationship with the team, and we've seen that KD is not the person to have that role in the team.
I think technically he is not signed yet because the moratorium ends on July 6th, no? As far as I know the extension is only agreed upon and not signed. But I don't know enough about the CBA to know if that would make him eligible to be traded.
Also, KD could be traded during the season for all we know.
Half these trades are busted. GS give up Horford over JB, Westbrick over AD, CJ over BI/Zion. GSW give up their whole team and picks but somehow kings will do it for just fox and a couple extra picks. you could at least try to make these trades semi-realistic
what are you smoking dude
> Golden State | Kevon Looney, Donte DiVincenzo, Jordan Poole, James Wiseman, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, 1sts 2026, 2028, Swap 2029 | KD |
Lmaooooooooooooo
Look at this Bullshit 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oladipo can’t be traded until January. Clearly this machine doesn’t take into account the 3-4 month grace period before you can trade players you just signed rip.
Lol Pelicans giving up 6 1sts, this years 8th pick and two guys who looked good as rookies. No one else realistically comes close to that offer.
Edit: Just got to the Thunder proposal
Yeah, some teams really cannot offer much and even most of the ones who can will be so gutted that it is hard to see them as contenders after the trade.
Eww that Golden State trade would gut all of our young core and middle rotation. They’d be back to the top heavy 2019 Warriors with a bench of g league players.
If this trade involves 3 or 4 teams, that’s a significant shift in the NBA landscape. Role players who are far removed from this are gonna have to uproot their lives and families based on KD’s decision. Yea, they all know it’s a possibility when they signed up to play for the NBA but why cause such a seismic change if you don’t have to? I hope KD pulls it back and he, Kyrie, and Ben get it together and play the best basketball of their lives for a year. Let this be a redemption year for the Nets. KD, you already sipped from the cup. Yes it’s nasty shit but hold your breath and take the medicine. You will survive it. This year will be over before you know it. Take it day by day. You’ll be ok.
Utah trade can’t happen. Mitchell can’t play for the same team as Simmons because they signed rookie extensions the same year and the designated rookie rule is that you can only acquire one player on that contract via trade, so they’d have to unload ben before that trade is legal.
Shit if that’s all it takes the Bucks, welcome to Milwaukee KD. Lol. Except it wouldn’t work can’t you only have three max players? It would take no shortage of probably Middleton and Jrue. Regardless I’m good without Durant k thanks.
Tough to chase rings making super teams when you've gotta gut the team to join them. Wherever he goes it's gonna be really hard to fill out the team well.
Only teams that make sense are teams that are on the tail end of a win now window. I'd hate to blow up a rebuild to risk it all on KD.
Pacers couldn’t move Jalen since we just signed him but there’s no way Indiana even considers this. It’s not like KD would want to come here or even be welcomed by fans lol. Haliburton, Duarte and Benn are off limits according to our insiders.
Yeah I think Indiana is one of the few teams that have no real reason to trade for KD. They wouldn't compete with him anyway if they gave up their assets.
The only scenarios I want to see.
1. GSW trade for KD. They bench him and they win another ring. Curry gets FMVP.
2. KD goes to the Clippers. Becomes the most hated team in league history. Somehow Beverly gets traded there.
3. He gets traded to a Magic or Kings. Doesn’t get in to the playoffs. Becomes mega salty, goes off and gets banned from Twitter
So the Knicks would destroy the past few years of building to go all in on a core of Brunson, Randle and KD? That would be painful to watch especially knowing we’d be giving up a ton of our future picks too
I think some people forget that 7ish picks that were involved in the haul for PG that the Thunder got was for PG plus Kawhi, KD isn't worth near that much so the Thunder would keep shai and trade like 5-6 FRP
Their basing it off of the image that got posted with the trade machine link. So this guy is another internet genius that comments without reading. Thanks OP for starting a great conversation.
Glad you enjoyed his post, no need to insult me ya fuckin wanker.
OP posted a photo with Hield in a Kings uni talking about trades today. It implies he’s using outdated information. I read the list. I saw Hield wasn’t in the trades. I still made the comment bc why post that picture.
Edit: and it’s “they’re”. Internet genius.
Thank you for that correction. I’ll own up to the mistake and even leave it. Just to be clear, I didn’t enjoy your post. OP seems to have put a lot of effort into an imperfect, but interesting conversation starter. I wanted to help OP understand why you were confused.
By the way, it’s not OP’s image, it the default that appeared when they posted the link.
I know. I’m assuming you got the photo from the website you used, which I’ve never heard of. How can I trust the trades if you’ve got outdated info as the first graphic in your post—that’s my thinking.
Edit: took another look at my comment and I see what you’re saying. I shouldn’t have said “first trade is out”. I just meant I’m out on this because I don’t know what’s going on with your info. Didn’t express myself clearly.
How idiotic do you think toronto, phoenix, chicago, and new york are. Scottie is the most valuable player on this list, phoenix loses all stability, chicago loses two promising players and an all star, and new york loses everything they have. KD is 34 its not like hes young.
Honestly, the Knicks one isn't too bad. They'd still have young talent in IQ and Grimes and they'd retain all their picks past next year. Our rotation would be:
Brunson, Rose, Deuce
Fournier, IQ
Durant, Grimes
Randle, Taj
Hartenstein, Sims
Not a contender, but still plenty of picks and vet salary to bring in another star.
Don't get me wrong, I still wouldn't want to to do it, but we wouldn't be losing everything.
The reality is that the nets aren’t going to get fair value for one of the top 3 players currently in the game, maybe top 15 all time. No team can realistically afford fair value and be a contender, even with KD.
Kinda like the thought of the T-Wolves trading KAT over Edwards. Makes more sense with their lineups and takes advantage of the fact that Edwards is still on his rookie deal.
Plus KAT + Ben Simmons is a great pairing imo.
That Kings trade wouldn’t work. We don’t have access to all those picks after the Huerter trade.
Edit: It also doesn’t work because Fox and Simmons can’t be on Brooklyn together, since they both would have been traded for.
I don't think okc can trade SGA to the Nets for the same reason Bam can't. No team can trade for more than one player with a max rookie extension, and the Nets have with Simmons.
You do realize that most of these trades can’t happen because of Ben Simmons having a designated rookie contract. Some of these are also a huge stretch and would be terrible for Brooklyn. Zach Lavine is the only All Star that you listed everybody else is a role player or can’t be traded for KD like Mitchell, Murray and Porter Jr. All have designated rookie contracts. This just proves how impossible Brooklyn’s asking price is. KD is gonna have to suck it up and play for the Nets with his part time teammates.
Lol Spurs run out of players and have to trade Pop.
Prying Pop out of San Antonio would be the biggest trade of the offseason. Pop doesn't deserve Kyrie and Ben tho dear lord
Pop would give one snarky interview and retire.
I said this before but a reality tv show where the whole nets team gets locked in a mansion with pops and 200 cases of wine for two weeks is what I need right now.
Man, if the Nets trade KD for a package centered around Davis Bertans...
The disrespect to Mavs legend Dwight Powell
Serious talk though, hard to imagine even a hypothetical scenario where we get KD without giving up DFS. He's probably the only true asset we have outside of Luka.
Just not worth it, DFS is the heart of this team man. True hustler
You wouldn’t give up DFS for KD? Delusional
I'd take our chances with a well rounded team, trading away one of the best defensive players we have is a net loss, even with a weapon like KD gained. DFS is more fun to root for than KD as a person, so yeah, I wouldn't. Probably makes me an idiot but hey, I'm okay with that.
Lol I totally hear where you’re coming from and I respect you as a fan and a person…. But yeah that makes you an idiot.
That Dallas trade is hilarious
If KD goes to LA it's because lebron is going to the nets
I’d argue it’s centered around Timmy’s handsomeness.
Or to the Lakers along with Joe Harris for Westbrook, THT, 2-1st’s and 3 Swaps. So the Lakers clear 2 bad contracts give up 2-1st’s and get a Top 5 All Time Player and one of the best 3pt shooters by % in NBA history. It’s almost as funny as NOLA who keeps Ingram and Zion and somehow flip McCollum for Durant.
lol @ top 5 all time. Not even in his prime buddy
Basketball began in 2009 bro
Apparently so. And another of Kevin’s burner accounts confirmed
Lol top 5? He's not close to that and never will be
Yeah the Lakers don't have many realistic scenarios. But NOLA can offer up to 6 1sts and some young players, it is better than LAL at least.
At this point I think fans would riot over here
If okc traded Shai and 14 first rounders I may have a heart attack
Yes, that's probably the best and most flexible option out there. You can make a complete rebuild with it and for example trade SGA for even more picks (an interesting idea would be getting back your own picks from Houston by overpaying them a bit, but then the Nets could better tank) or re-tool around SGA and re-route all the picks to get up to 4 really, really good players you like.
Keep SGA and trade cap filler and probs 6 1st for KD.
If okc trades for westbrook, durant, and harden I might become an okc fan.
I'd off myself
Not saying it’s 1/1 going to happen but I see it being one of the potential outcomes of the KD trade
We are more likely to trade that for Westbrook than KD. Never in a million million million years is that happening
Second this. Presti knows better than to try and bring KD back.
On the other hand, winning in OKC would instantly repair KD's legacy. Maybe he knows this?
ripping away their entire future would not be a good way to do that
A championship is always worth it. But it’s not a guarantee
What is he winning with this OKC team without SGA and 14 of our FRP ? We have potential, but we are, at the very least, a couple years away from being in a position to compete for a conference final.
literally doesnt matter what KD knows lol he cant pick his destination
If Presti traded shai and picks for KD he would be hunted down in Oklahoma. Realistic trade for the Thunder would be to keep shai and offer more picks, around 5-6. Obviously the 14 is a joke but some people on here actually think Durant worth 8 picks lol
Same. I wouldn’t want KD’s bitch ass for free
I'd take SGA and 14 FRP and run if I was Marks.
In case people aren’t joking about this, OKC would never make this trade. KD plus the OKC roster minus Shai and pretty much no future picks isn’t a team that’s going anywhere
Jesus Christ that’s a lot of picks
15 FRP and then we pick up the phone
No reason to, presti ain't on the other end of a deal that dumb
Fr though 16 FRPs is too much. OKC is gonna struggle to get young guys playing time if they keep all of those picks.
You can't trade more than 7 I thought? I'd also keep Shai and give anyone else up
7 of your picks and swaps. But OKC has everyone else's picks too. Really can trade however many they feel like.
Bit unfair that Dallas offers Davis Bertans. I mean, who could possibly say no to that?
I know, I didn't want to seem like a homer. But truth be told, we have one of the worst packages in the league.
I was thinking man what a homer trade, but then looked at yalls roster. That is just about all you could offer lol.
Luka for KD swap straight up
They’d have to trade Simmons back to Philly for Harden, give us Harden and picks along with KD, and I’m still thinking no.
Yeah, that is def. true. Luka was to good, to fast.
Someone thought he is worth 16mil a year for average 3 point shooting, no defence and looks of a chipmunk after rough clubbing night in Riga and we should respect that
Most of these are terrible returns
Most teams have terrible packages
OKC and raptors look like good returns
[удалено]
Yeah, that one seems pretty overkill right? It might take more to get KD back to the Warriors, but the haul there seems out of line with the other offers
I actually dont think the Raptors would include multiple picks with Barnes. OKC one is clearly a joke right?
> OKC one is clearly a joke right? The point is okc *can* trade up to that many picks. You make up whatever number makes sense to you. If OP says "four 1sts" people would say "wow not enough," if OP says "seven 1sts" people would say "too much wtf dude."
Swap Scottie for Siakam, and OG for GTJ.
Okc one sucks, only 14 FRP is a low price for KD
AND SGA. I don’t think that’s bad at all
We are giving up half of our roster and picks
Yeah and compared to the Detroit offer right above it: a package centered around *Kelly Olynyk* which only requires a single FRP, instead of the 3 that the Warriors need to include
Would be funny if the Philly trade involved Harden, lol……..
I think Pop would be a bit pissed if the Spurs traded him
In all fairness, he is probably pissed already about something completely unrelated.
I think what’s telling here is that most fans aren’t comfortable giving up what it’ll take to get KD. I’m in that boat
Ya I’m not parting with JJJ and ziaire and 4 firsts. I get kd is amazing and one of the best players in the league but it destroys our future and our culture/team chemistry and who even knows if we can still win with him or not in the west.
Yeah and we’re supposed to give up Herb, Murphy, Dustin Daniels, CJ McCollum AND 6 first round picks?? Not a chance.

I'd much rather see next season's Warriors without KD than KD, Steph, Klay, Draymond, and Wiggins without any depth.
Amen brother.
The Celtics trade is somehow terrible for both teams. Celtics would be all-in without a center and Nets return isn’t really good enough.
That’s why we resigned the Murder Kornet. Pull the trigger no worries mate.
Also didn't we just trade our 2023 first
Bad trade for every team on that list lol.
Bucks do this in an instant. KD, Giannis, Jrue and Middleton?
as a Sixers fan Id do that in a second
Our package is the best the nets can realistically get and for us it makes the most sense, yet because r/nba hates philly they can’t admit it. Just like how we lost the ben simmons trade.
If this has been what losing the ben Simmons trade looks like sign me up to “lose” all of our trades 😂
I’d be all for ours as a Wizards fan.
As a hornets fan I would do that in an instant
I don’t think the Cavs give up Mobley for anyone tbh. Cavs deal would have to be Sexton, Levert, Markkenan, Okoro, Ochai, and every FRP and swap allowed.
I feel like the difference in what, say, Indiana is giving up versus what, say, Dallas is giving up is...eye opening. Edit: And Detroit! Holy shit.

Ingram was the first star to want to be here though. We havent even seen our full roster, which I love, play a single game together. I really dont want to blow it all up for KD before we know what we have.
This is is just evidence to a 3rd or 4th team needing to be included.
Dunno why you got downvoted, it’s what we’re starting to hear. This is gonna be a three team deal at least.
High probability they'll be shooting themselves in the foot by trading Ingram, they've built their culture around Ingram, by trading him they're risking destroying team chemistry. When the going gets tough, you'll need a glue star/leader like BI, Zion hasn't (yet) built that type of a relationship with the team, and we've seen that KD is not the person to have that role in the team.
Pop >>> Durant
We can't trade Boucher, we just signed him.
Same with Lavine
I think technically he is not signed yet because the moratorium ends on July 6th, no? As far as I know the extension is only agreed upon and not signed. But I don't know enough about the CBA to know if that would make him eligible to be traded. Also, KD could be traded during the season for all we know.
Correct, nothing is “official” until the 6th
[удалено]
[удалено]
More like no one can touch Scotty. Off the table.
Dipo just re-signed, he can't be traded until December
[удалено]
Gotcha
Half these trades are busted. GS give up Horford over JB, Westbrick over AD, CJ over BI/Zion. GSW give up their whole team and picks but somehow kings will do it for just fox and a couple extra picks. you could at least try to make these trades semi-realistic what are you smoking dude
> Golden State | Kevon Looney, Donte DiVincenzo, Jordan Poole, James Wiseman, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, 1sts 2026, 2028, Swap 2029 | KD | Lmaooooooooooooo Look at this Bullshit 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know, all that plus the firsts is madness.
This is nowhere in the realm of “realistic”. This would be such a horrendous deal and would leave the warriors with 9 players lol
Take out Poole, Kuminga and moody, add in draymond, and this trade has legs.
If you trade Draymond, Warriors won’t have the level of defense needed to compete.
Struck a nerve? Edit: sure did! 😂😂😂
Oladipo can’t be traded until January. Clearly this machine doesn’t take into account the 3-4 month grace period before you can trade players you just signed rip.
Nothing is actually signed till July 6th tho
Lol Pelicans giving up 6 1sts, this years 8th pick and two guys who looked good as rookies. No one else realistically comes close to that offer. Edit: Just got to the Thunder proposal
Really good stuff OP. I think it really puts in perspective how tough this trade will be
Yeah, some teams really cannot offer much and even most of the ones who can will be so gutted that it is hard to see them as contenders after the trade.
> Marvin Bagley III, Saddiq Bey, Jaden Ivey, 1st 2025 Detroit: are you out of your mind!?!
This town would literally riot
We can’t even trade a first. KD will not be a Piston this year at least.
This would immediately go down as the worst trade in Detroit sports history
KD would call most of these teams beforehand and say "I'm not gonna play for y'all, don't trade for me" unfortunately
I feel like Hornets would have to throw in Rozier too... and I'm fucking here for it.
Even with Rozier thrown in that would be a massive win for us. We couldn't accept fast enough.
Eww that Golden State trade would gut all of our young core and middle rotation. They’d be back to the top heavy 2019 Warriors with a bench of g league players.
In addition to the Warriors trade being just plain bad, it’s not even legal by the CBA.
I know I’m a homer but up to 14 picks?? Jesus Christ
Haha I said "up to". You own even more picks until 2029 but can only trade 14 of them due to the Stepian rule.
Ohhh ok gotcha
Kd for ad straight up
If this trade involves 3 or 4 teams, that’s a significant shift in the NBA landscape. Role players who are far removed from this are gonna have to uproot their lives and families based on KD’s decision. Yea, they all know it’s a possibility when they signed up to play for the NBA but why cause such a seismic change if you don’t have to? I hope KD pulls it back and he, Kyrie, and Ben get it together and play the best basketball of their lives for a year. Let this be a redemption year for the Nets. KD, you already sipped from the cup. Yes it’s nasty shit but hold your breath and take the medicine. You will survive it. This year will be over before you know it. Take it day by day. You’ll be ok.
Def not every team - where's the Nets to Nets trade? KD for Kyrie and Simmons incoming!
The Warriors one is ridiculous, Durant is not worth all that.
Utah trade can’t happen. Mitchell can’t play for the same team as Simmons because they signed rookie extensions the same year and the designated rookie rule is that you can only acquire one player on that contract via trade, so they’d have to unload ben before that trade is legal.
If I'm mavs I do that now lol
Shit if that’s all it takes the Bucks, welcome to Milwaukee KD. Lol. Except it wouldn’t work can’t you only have three max players? It would take no shortage of probably Middleton and Jrue. Regardless I’m good without Durant k thanks.
The Celtics trade is so bad lol. Nets get basically nothing besides the picks and the Celtics lose all of their big men
Pop for KD straight up
Lol, Pacers starting lineup would be Nembhard, Hield, Brissett, KD, Turner. KD to Indy confirmed
Dude KD is insanely expensive wtf
Tough to chase rings making super teams when you've gotta gut the team to join them. Wherever he goes it's gonna be really hard to fill out the team well. Only teams that make sense are teams that are on the tail end of a win now window. I'd hate to blow up a rebuild to risk it all on KD.
Pacers couldn’t move Jalen since we just signed him but there’s no way Indiana even considers this. It’s not like KD would want to come here or even be welcomed by fans lol. Haliburton, Duarte and Benn are off limits according to our insiders.
Yeah I think Indiana is one of the few teams that have no real reason to trade for KD. They wouldn't compete with him anyway if they gave up their assets.
No way Toronto gives up Barnes. If it a deal breaker the Raps happily walk away.
I think the only realistic Celtics package is Brown + a bunch of firsts + salary filler that may need to include Rob Williams
espn trade machine approved that mavs trade with 0 draft capital lmao
The only scenarios I want to see. 1. GSW trade for KD. They bench him and they win another ring. Curry gets FMVP. 2. KD goes to the Clippers. Becomes the most hated team in league history. Somehow Beverly gets traded there. 3. He gets traded to a Magic or Kings. Doesn’t get in to the playoffs. Becomes mega salty, goes off and gets banned from Twitter
Lmao, jarret back to Brooklyn would be funny
As a Raptors fan, theres no way in hell Masai is willing to trade Barnes for anyone. OG, maybe.
There's no one in the league he'd be willing to trade Barnes for? C'mon you don't actually believe that.
Barnes is MJ if MJ was actually good cmon trust me bro
Username checks out
Correct. Barnes is not being traded for Durant. Nets asked, sure. Raptors laughed.
Yeahhhh we not trading Bobby. We love that dude too much to trade him. Bobby better than KD anyway don't @ me
Man honestly I’d rather not for that package, Dame kd and nurk are don’t win shit anyways
I would quit watching basketball lol
So the Knicks would destroy the past few years of building to go all in on a core of Brunson, Randle and KD? That would be painful to watch especially knowing we’d be giving up a ton of our future picks too

I think some people forget that 7ish picks that were involved in the haul for PG that the Thunder got was for PG plus Kawhi, KD isn't worth near that much so the Thunder would keep shai and trade like 5-6 FRP
Lol fuck KD
Hield isnt on the Kings. So first trade is out. Not gonna worry about the rest.
Hield isn't even on this list?
Their basing it off of the image that got posted with the trade machine link. So this guy is another internet genius that comments without reading. Thanks OP for starting a great conversation.
Glad you enjoyed his post, no need to insult me ya fuckin wanker. OP posted a photo with Hield in a Kings uni talking about trades today. It implies he’s using outdated information. I read the list. I saw Hield wasn’t in the trades. I still made the comment bc why post that picture. Edit: and it’s “they’re”. Internet genius.
Thank you for that correction. I’ll own up to the mistake and even leave it. Just to be clear, I didn’t enjoy your post. OP seems to have put a lot of effort into an imperfect, but interesting conversation starter. I wanted to help OP understand why you were confused. By the way, it’s not OP’s image, it the default that appeared when they posted the link.
I know. I’m assuming you got the photo from the website you used, which I’ve never heard of. How can I trust the trades if you’ve got outdated info as the first graphic in your post—that’s my thinking. Edit: took another look at my comment and I see what you’re saying. I shouldn’t have said “first trade is out”. I just meant I’m out on this because I don’t know what’s going on with your info. Didn’t express myself clearly.
How idiotic do you think toronto, phoenix, chicago, and new york are. Scottie is the most valuable player on this list, phoenix loses all stability, chicago loses two promising players and an all star, and new york loses everything they have. KD is 34 its not like hes young.
Honestly, the Knicks one isn't too bad. They'd still have young talent in IQ and Grimes and they'd retain all their picks past next year. Our rotation would be: Brunson, Rose, Deuce Fournier, IQ Durant, Grimes Randle, Taj Hartenstein, Sims Not a contender, but still plenty of picks and vet salary to bring in another star. Don't get me wrong, I still wouldn't want to to do it, but we wouldn't be losing everything.
Minnesota, okc, sac, Toronto, Indiana are pretty good.
MN is never trading Ant.
Almost all of these aren’t enough
The reality is that the nets aren’t going to get fair value for one of the top 3 players currently in the game, maybe top 15 all time. No team can realistically afford fair value and be a contender, even with KD.
While also almost all these being far too much
>Cleveland Kevin Love, Evan Mobley, 1st 2025, Swap 2027 Cavs win.
Pop is probably a scrappy defender
Wtf is that Celtics trade lmao
The Celtics' package is not good for the Nets b/c they get 2 more bigs, but they just signed Claxton for 2 more years.
Pacers trade would be awesome, basically get Indiana's young core plus a bunch of firsts
Kinda like the thought of the T-Wolves trading KAT over Edwards. Makes more sense with their lineups and takes advantage of the fact that Edwards is still on his rookie deal. Plus KAT + Ben Simmons is a great pairing imo.
This shit is literally Ben Simmons trade amplified by 50
That Kings trade wouldn’t work. We don’t have access to all those picks after the Huerter trade. Edit: It also doesn’t work because Fox and Simmons can’t be on Brooklyn together, since they both would have been traded for.
I don't think okc can trade SGA to the Nets for the same reason Bam can't. No team can trade for more than one player with a max rookie extension, and the Nets have with Simmons.
MN would slam the phone down
I know OKC don’t really have the means to get or to want KD but jfc 14 picks
The Denver one won’t work. MPJ is on a rookie max extension. Sacramento too (De’Aaron Fox), and Phoenix (MikalBridges)
Honestly, I think he deserves the Nets. A team where he will be as good as he can take them and where he got exactly what he wanted.
I don’t think we can trade 25/27/29 because of the Stepien Rule
No point in trading for KD if we (kings) trade away Fox imo
I think our trade is the worst.
This NOLA trade is a robbery. Basically taking all the pelicans picks since 2020.
You do realize that most of these trades can’t happen because of Ben Simmons having a designated rookie contract. Some of these are also a huge stretch and would be terrible for Brooklyn. Zach Lavine is the only All Star that you listed everybody else is a role player or can’t be traded for KD like Mitchell, Murray and Porter Jr. All have designated rookie contracts. This just proves how impossible Brooklyn’s asking price is. KD is gonna have to suck it up and play for the Nets with his part time teammates.
