Kevin Durant Getting Traded Is Inevitable…
Вставка

- Kevin Durant might be getting traded this summer after the Phoenix Suns big 3 was absolute disaster, and I think that KD might be returning to the OKC Thunder, although rumours about Kevin Durant being traded to the Houston Rockets are gaining traction.

KD winning a championship in okc would go so hard
Kd winning a chip for the suns >>>>
fr
Unfortunately it probably won't happen. Okc is set, and bringing him in would fracture the chemistry and payroll. He got his two Golden State rings to enjoy.....
We don’t want kd back
@@rayval1295 you not even on the team, anyone would like a Kd on his team. You are a selfish fake fan who puts his own needs above the teams
KD got every trade he asked for, forced his way out of the nets immediately after signing a huge contract with them just to go to suns, he gets what he deserves, can play for them until he retires and I hope they're ass every year.
you're gonna have to hold this L when he joins okc
@@alif.6266That's not going to happen. Ever.
@@TheJudgementofDog leaving a comment so I can find this is in September
KD did do some bad things but only on the business side of things. I still believe he deserves some closure to his career instead of just rotting away on this dogshit team.
@@ivanthaboi You mean the team he chose to go to? He deserves what he's chosen.
KD deserves his number 35 on GSW he is 2 time FINALS MVP there
Facts 💯
Probably shouldn’t be.
Are you kidding? Warriors fans love KD. They don't love him like they love Steph, but they don't love *anyone* like they love Steph. Everyone knows he's going to get his jersey retired there (confirmed years ago, no new players are allowed his number since he left).
As long as Draymond Green didn’t hurt his feelings again…
But a return is unlikely because warriors are rebuilding
His Warriors jersey may get retired, as long as Draymond Green didn’t hurt his feelings again
@@LM_Oreillernah F rebuilding. Honor the franchise goat and try to win until Curry's wheels fall off.
Pffff no we don’t…
Denver would never pick up Bradley Beal lmaooo
Beal is sorta a joke.
@@Senzel100 he fr a joke
KD never had any shred of loyalty towards OKC and especially to the ownership group and Sam Presti. He's far more attached to Seattle - the place he made his NBA debut. If there's a place where KD would like to bookend his career - a reborn Seattle SuperSonics (if the NBA ever decides to right the wrong) in the next few years would be his dream choice. Even if that means he won't be in a contention for a championship, IMO he would have no problem sacrificing his last opportunity to finish his career where it started - wearing a green uniform with SONICS wordmark on it.
Would KD like to be a Thunder again? Maybe. Does anyone think Presti would give up much to get him? Nope. This fantasy makes for fun conversation but dude is too expensive for most teams to want any part of trading for him. These days 35 ain't too old to play high level NBA ball but KD is owed $55 million two years from now when he will be 37. OKC ain't trying to pay him all that
Presti has loads of resources to burn but will he? Nope
Yeah there's 0 reason for OKC to want KD, and unlike LeBron in Cleveland, KD has no obligation to try to fix anything in OKC or win them a chip
@@stevenscummy1458 KD needs OKC right now much more than they need him
@@I.am_Groot alr lil kid okc is very deep with a lot of picks they can give that up for kd easy and he fits in the roster to well also even after kd retiers the okc players will all be in there prime and still be championchip contenders
We can absolutely afford him the next 2 years wdym
As a Warriors fan who lives right outside the bay area, KD was never not respected by the fans. It was the media that didn't give him credit. KD wasn't seeing the appreciation posts by random people on Twitter but he saw all the bad takes and negative headlines from actual media platforms and personalities.
My boy KD just needs a young team around him
Why would a boy need a young team? Make that make sense
Because it works
Honestly…. As a thunder fan I’d much rather have someone like Al horford, or decent sized center/pf that can shoot. We struggled on the boards in the playoffs and getting kd wouldn’t fix that, plus it just doesn’t make sense logically to have kd, and sga on the same team.
On the deadline when they brought Durant in, I was hoping the headline would read Ayton, Crowder, and picks. But of course it was Bridges, Johnson, Crowder, and the picks. Ishbia was over eager to make a drastic move and was blinded by Ayton being a first overall pick. It was such a stupid decision to opt to keep him over the 2 clearly better wings. But it is what it is. I think KD gets moved this off season, the Suns land a bunch of picks to restore that issue and the players they bring on combined with Booker and Beal will be competitive enough to make the playoffs. If they make the playoffs, anything can happen. I just want competitive basketball.
KD’s only “good” moves left are:
Stay
OKC
Timely Seattle expansion team
Anything else will almost certainly detract from his legacy. These are the only 3 situations where anybody would ever be convinced he might actually be happy.
Knicks?
Love this channel more than any for basketball news. Delighted the Ball brothers haven't been a topic this year 😅
damn i was just watching all ur vids and then u post a new one lol
Same 😂
sounds sad.
@@Bluebirdfalling hush
Bro Kevin Durant needs to be loved
Yeah it’s not happening lol, Just Phil tweeted abt KD coming back to OKC to redeem his legacy and KD flamed him 😂
OKC didn’t decide to give up & rebuild. The players requested exits. PG demanded a trade & so did Russ.
DKM is a BEAST! Great job. I agree w/ you.
At this point kd need to say sorry to bron and just play with him 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
I concur all around.....great video!
If Im OKC, I wouldnt touch KD with a vet minimum contract....OKC is set for the future with the team they got & all those future 1st rd pick they holding in the bacl pocket
Fire vids dude.
KD to the Magic or Wolves would be the best bet for both teams. Wolves trading KAT or Magic trading some of their guards.
Great Video as usual DKM
Appreciate that
had a conversation like this recently looks like the obvious move for all party's and the only reason i can see they made the hayward trade to get cap for a trade for the true prize if this run didn't work out
As a okc fan and kd being my favorite player it would be amazing to see
Patiently waiting for Hornets content
What hornets content
My Opinion Only I would LOVE for KD to Return to Warriors with Steph,Klay, and DG🔥🔥😎🤘🤘🙏🙏🙏!!
I think it all comes down to who is on the trade block.
Yeah, KD is a big piece, but as you said rosters are looking at depth now over solo talent.
For okc its gonna come down to what else is on offer vs what they have to give. They might be able to get more depth for less picks
I think Phoenix blew their load early and should have trusted Booker. At the time, Imo Booker was not even at his peak and the combination of Booker + Durant stymies Booker’s development as a first option.
Booker will never win as a first option, he’s Jaylen brown with less defense
@@yopp2k and way more offense when he is given the opportunity.
Ayo
two soft superstars
Need a towel?
KD isn't welcome back to OKC if you ask me. Was truly invested in his belief at first and then he showed his true colors. Gave up in the conference finals to leave for that exact team. Truly not surprised he brought this whole "woke" stuff into play. Thunder have a bright future and we don't need the cloud he brings.
Nah you wrong
@@henryslatt9041 that is just my opinion. When he left it felt worse than being cheated on. Turned that page and don't want to give him the pleasure of winning again and then take credit
@@henryslatt9041no he’s right lol. I was born and raised in Oklahoma, seen all the ups and downs of Thunder basketball firsthand. When KD left the way he did, he proved what kind of person he was. Then his team hopping after his stint in GS, showed who he really was as a basketball player. We don’t want any part of that. There is no room in OKC’s lineup for him, we have the best young team in the NBA. there will never be a KD redemption story, because he doesn’t deserve one
Another GM voicing his opinion lol
Just a fan who's been going to NBA games since katrina
great take
Durant is a warrior legend regardless of what people say 🙌💯🔥
Tbh this is well deserved Criticism but i wouldnt write off the Suns after 1 season :/ like lets be fr they started the season dealing with injuries & chose to start winning late in the season which got them a 6th seed spot in a rough Western conference against a Great TimberWolves team who beat the defending champs nd made it to the conf finals . All im saying suns just need a True PG a Solid Rebounding BIG nd some depth on the bench nd they easily a top 3 seed in the west ! Look at all the past champs they didnt get to be champions off the rip in 1 year smh ! Lets see how this team develops in a year or 2 💯
Warriors fan since 2011 here 🙋🏾♂️ Durant's time as a Warrior definitely doesn't get downplayed 🚫 The fact of the matter is Durant sat at their table. Curry won before and after Durant.
As ridiculous as some people might think it, KD would be a great catch and shoot guy. No one's blocking him from 3. Only reason I can see for him not taking more 3s at Phoenix is the coaching isn't telling him to. He's been a sniper for a long time.
OKC is so close to the team they need. If they get iHart or Claxton in free agency, maybe Drummond too as a backup big and vet, and then cash in some of these picks and young guys who aren’t impacting the team for an upgrade in Giddey’s spot. Whether that’s a consistent 3&D wing or a floor spacing scorer to be the second option. There’s so many options but the best are very clearly KD, PG, Lauri, or Mikal. At least one of them will be gettable. If they were looking for another roleplayer to go with that since they easily have the assets and the cap space, they also need to add more 3pt shooting.
Mavs fan here wish we had kd In these finals
KD to OKC would be sick. Okc would have to give up a couple of their young guys to do it plus 5 first rounders. If I'm KD i'm demanding a trade to Okc immediately lol
I agree that KD would sign a contract now to okc, they need veteran like kevin durant
Ggs KD 😢
OKC could use a great shooter, good passer, and good rebounder at the 4 who can get his own shot, and their biggest need is a strong 5 who can relieve Chet of banging with 250+ guys like AD, Jokic, Towns (if he stays), Kessler when Utah fixes their perimeter, etc., while having substantial impact offensively. Jaylin Williams won't cut it at this point in his career. OKC should get hold of that 5 by draft time including using that #12 pick, and then see what picks are on the table. They have a lot of 2nds in 2029. We know that Giddey is expendable and Wallace is more important than Dort moving forward.
If Clingan is still there at #3 I could see Houston trading Sengun. OKC would love to do Giddey and picks for Sengun while the salary works.
The most favorable 2025 1st, both 2029 1sts, and some 2029 2nds should be something Phoenix can accept for KD.
Jeff Green, Tate, and Sengun for Dort, Giddey, the #12, and other picks could work for Houston if they get Clingan.
KD expires in 2026 which will have been his 19th season so he can't demand much pay after that.
SGA/Jalen/Durant/Chet/Sengun with bench Wallace, Tate, Kenrich, Jaylin is a very balanced team that should match up well with anyone, unlike the Thunder we just saw. And OKC would still have plenty of picks and when Jalen and Chet need to be paid in 2026 is perfect for Durant expiring in 2026. I can't see that squad not winning at least one of these next 2 seasons if healthy. They could literally sign only shooters to fill out the roster, that's how you make a dynasty.
As an OKC fan we don't want him back
Boston literally has a big 3 in the finals(JT,JB and KP) with maybe even big 4 with Jrue being considered for finals MVP
OKC would never give up sga for kd.
Suns should blow it up and trade everyone for picks and young talent. Especially if they can work out a 3 way deal to get some of their own picks back
KD 😞
Haha love the vid dkm wish we had KD back for sure! him and SGA in the midrange would be deadly. Probably not the best fit however, as i don't see presti blowing up the depth of this team for an ageing star who doesnt provide much else other than the offensive output from the midrange. especially when the thunder trade rebounds for high energy blitzes and rely on fast hands to get out on the break, which kd probably isnt capable of at this point in his career.
markkanen however is more than welcome...
05:59 "Devin Booker want's to be a neck" lol
I don't think OKC needs KD that much, specially for the impact he is gonna have in the salary cap. OKC has a great team but they've got a hole in their roster. What they're lacking the most right now is bruising bigs, meanin size that can help Chet protect the paint, and can absorb physical teams that exploit their smaller less physical team. Chet is very good defensively, but we've seen against teams with size and strength that OKC crumbles, like the Mavs that eliminated them in the 2nd round, or the Lakers that despite being a "struggling" team half the season beat OKC with ease during the regular season.
KD brings size, yes. He brings the scoring punch and star quality that is inherent to him, but outside of his size and some solid defence, what you expect when paying what KD is making is not what OKC really needs right now to take them over the hump. He can bring a lot offensively of course, but OKC are clicking very well on that side, they jave good chemistry and KD skillset would just be an overlap with Chet, and a bit SGA, and J Williams. I think OKC is better investing in and developing they're young core, than throwing a star into the mix that is going to limit their ability to make moves due to salary capital
The only thing that can save his legacy fr is him leading a team to a championship. His rings will always have an asterisk next to them for jumping on a team that won before and after him
Make a tons of sense the only trade that make sense is 💯
I still wouldn’t give KD credit if he came back and won a championship in OKC. I mean hell why should he get the credit when that team is beyond stacked already
I say.. "get the band back together"!
Dude has mo idea about how warriors fans feel about KD..
WE love Steph, but we have tons of love for Clay,Dray,GP2,LOON,JK, And many players that have left but helped us win a chip ESPECIALLY KD. WE didn't call him "Cupcake" when he left, like OKC. Coming back to the fold is the only way he wins more Chips before he's done, I believe.
Devon Booker fades under pressure. He's not the Dude getting you to the promised land. Steph is the most humble superstar you could ever play with. He still can make anyone better than you were before playing with him....
id take KD in Sac for Ellis, Mitchell, Barnes, 2 + 2 picks and swaps top 3 protected
That won’t get it done. Need Fox.
Of course KD would go back there now that it’s built up again 😂
I think. OKC needs a veteran player with experience, I just want someone who can carry the load off SGA
I think Trade for KD to OKC for like four first round picks and Giddey and Also sign Russ in free agency
Nobody in their right mind debates if Miami should retire his jersey.
All teams use KD to scare their stars out of leaving... " they will hate you"
The team that has no choice but to retire the KD jersey is GSW. He’s the only 2 x FMVP🤷🏿♂️…
Sam presty is basically playing 2k myleague
jamal murray not an official all star but lets be real he’s an all star caliber player
I’d love to see kd go to okc
i love this
This would be KD’s best move. LeBron went from villain to hero when he returned to the Cavs and win a championship. KD could do the same.
Durant was the thunder
Okc is really playing mynba in real life😂
Watch a team like SAC or Orlando or even Indiana get KD😂
The biggest let down for this much talent
wrong on the draft picks, they own every other year, as per the Stepien Rule...you really should research what you report....lol
Magic got some picks and players for Suns, it's hungry young squad and Franz and Paolo are on rookie contacts...... and they need shooting
Dummy - sarver isn’t the owner anymore. It would take Paolo, Dort and salary filler and 4 ones and 4 2s
Come back to the Bay Bay KD

Okc mind as well try to grab bol bol to, in their system I think he could be productive
Durant to the clippers
It’s just basketball man …
Warriors won’t retire KD’s jersey, but without a doubt, whether you question it or not, OKC definitely will.
They need to kd back to golden state and draymond needs to suck it up
I find it hilarious that none of these ring chasers ever wanted to go to the Celtics but if Lebron or KD had joined they’d have so many more rings. They could’ve earned the prestige they’re seeking.
You gotta realize one thing, no one outside of Massachusetts likes the Celtics. Screw the Celtics
@@EZMONKEY04ye it's just natural to hate the Celtics. Can't put them down for what they do or done just fuckkk em
@@EZMONKEY04why is that? I’m from Australia and I’ve noticed these finals that everybody hates Boston for some reason
@@henry7486 The same reason everyone hates the Lakers. They’re too successful in this league, and people want new winners! Lakers and Celtics are tied for the most chips in the NBA with 17 apiece
Cavs have two championship one in 1976 and 2016
I never disagreed with you before except for this one. His 3 point attempts haven’t dropped much over the years. He is just way more reliable in the mid range. Last time he relied on a 3 to win the game his foot was on the line 🤣
His home was OKLAHOMA City he couldn't be patient he turned his back on his home and now he want to come back
KD my fav player. He shoulda never left GS in my opinion. I rly dnt like him in PHX
he's a clipper or warrior
Chris Paul is all of phoenix’s bench they already traded everyone good for kd
KD is loved in the Ba Area
Draymond there
I mean come on you know if this is true then kd will hold a press conference and give a public emotional apology and the organization would bring him back for the rest of his career. 😂
Bro brooklyn was khyries fault not being able to play home games, and harden for being injured…KD carried that fucking team.
Absolutely Not We Already Have Shai Gilgeous-Alexander And Chet Holmgren, We Don’t Need Kd
You're talking about a pre and post injured Durant.
OKC doesn't want him back so this is not happening.
i'm sending this to okc until thy reply or announce they're getting kd
He did it to himself, he leaves on a bad note every single time 😭
This is why curry in my opinion sets the tone for nba players not leaving they team when shit gets bad the warriors that 2020 season won 13 games rough times those was😂😭 all these niggas be so fast to jump ship
So OKC doesn't have to do anything to make salaries work. They just dump 2 guys who don't play like kwill and ous.
I don't see why people don't see that Kd on OKC would be the perfect fit.
He costs too much
taking someone who is old and expensive when they have the resources to both plan for the future and win in a couple years is ridiculous
@@user-ze3sg6ix1uthey can literally send 5 of their future draft picks lmao
Toooo much to give up
Westbrook was more loyal to OKC than KD.
This man sound goofy saying u not the #1😂😂
wowowowowow
