Man - Still can't believe you got that haul for Gobert.
Its not the PG3 trade assets OKC got but this is really going to kickstart a rebuild/re-boot if done correctly. May only have 2 down years.

Starting to lean towards Nets keeping KD and the Nets winning the east next year.
I'm so interested in seeing how Simmons would look with KD/Kyrie and all the nets shooting...

Hawks looking to make moves, two down a few more to go!

I don’t see how they trade him for anything close to his on court value. Any deal with Phoenix is extremely complicated. Miami doesn’t have the trade assets. Toronto has the trade assets to get any star they want - is KD, with his age and mercurial reputation, the one you want to go after?
No way he stays healthy ever. But Chet is a freak offensively and defensively. Thunder found their stud
Thunder should put an incentive in Chet’s contract to not take any charges. If he ever decides to get in front of Giannis, hide the women and children.
Its going to be a golden era of thunder basketball.
Chet is a basketball savant.

I'm pretty geeked up.
It may have actually worked out great that OKC fell to six last year because its going to be hard to find a distributor (not PG because I think he ends up at SF) like Giddey. And who knows...maybe Chet ends up being better than Mobley.

Think this is where 'makeup' is key in picking these guys. You never know how boys progress as men when the fame reaches a certain level but so far all the guys have bought into what OKC is doing and the team is becoming a coveted destination for players. Its rumored that Chet specifically tanked his workout with Orlando because he was dying to come to OKC. Having Giddey helps!!!

Their asking price isnt even reasonable but the Gobert trade probably screwed up the market. KD is soon to be 34 though. 5+ picks/swaps, a star, and another top player is pretty crazy even for someone as good as KD. Toronto is probably the only team who could make a realistic offer of like Barnes/GTJ/OG/salary filler/picks, but no way Masai would do that.
Jazz and Knicks engaged in a Mitchell deal. That's always been the most likely team if he got dealt. They can offer up to 8 first round picks but the deal would probably be something like Rose, Obi, Quickley, Grimes and 4-5 picks.
I’d like to see a multi-team trade that gets Durant to the Suns, Mitchell to the Nets, picks and stuff to the Jazz.
Thats probably the best path for all parties. I just dont know if BK can get what they want realistically for Durant. I mean they asked for KAT, Ant, and picks for KD from Min, like come on man. I think Utah mostly wants picks and to be really bad next year so they can get in on the Victor sweepstakes and the Knicks have the most picks they can offer them.
