Tom Penn: "Presti may look to trade Kevin Durant next year"

[QUOTE]I think this burst from Westbrook makes it likelier – much more likely – that Durant ultimately gets traded next year. ]

Sam Presti has proven that he does not ever want to lose anybody for nothing. He traded James Harden a year early to avoid a potential luxury tax problem a year later.

The Kevin Durant drumbeat next year is going to be so loud … he will not commit early to OKC because the rules are against that.

If Sam Presti doesn’t that get that commitment, he’ll look to trade Kevin Durant. Looking at the performance of Westbrook and the team around Westbrook will make it easier for him to do that, potentially.[/QUOTE]

What y'all tink?

:biggums:

They could get a boat load. I'm talking about Okafor, Randle, Clarkson, 2 firsts and 2 seconds for KD from the Lakers

:biggums:

Tom Penn is guy that knows what he is talking about. Wish the Blazers would have held on to him. It wasn't his fault they drafted Oden.

As far as KD goes I'd trade a shit load for him. Lillard and Batum. Basically anything but LaMarcus Aldridge.

Preferably it would be Matthews, Batum, and Robin Lopez if the salaries match.

Dellevoda+ Love for Durant

They're gonna trade Durant just cause they can't win with Brooks... instead of firing Brooks?

:roll: :roll: :roll: if true

to the Lakers. Booked. Champ cruise ready to go

LOL it's Westbrook's team now

Werd.

Also posted this article just to see the comments it would get.

[QUOTE=imnew09]to the Lakers. Booked. Champ cruise ready to go[/QUOTE]

Kobe would average 30ppg while Durant would be second fiddle chipping in with 20 off the bench or something.

If this is true, Durant's gonna have a say in who they get. Watch his list of teams be the Lakers, Knicks, Rockets, and Wizards.

Well....

Makes sense.

Ask him if he wants to stay long term, if he doesn't ship his ass away

If this is true :roll: :roll: :roll:

I dont see Durant would resign. He gets Westbrook as a teammate and is the only reason Scott Brooks is still the coach.

Uh yeah.... Presti is going to trade his franchise player :oldlol: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Do the 76ers have enough picks stocked up? Presti loves having assets.

I hope he gets traded. Then Westbrook eventually leaves.

Would make a great 30 for 30 in the future on how he turned a potential dynasty into the Phoenix Suns.

Sounds crazy, but if it's a good deal and you can buillt a contender around Westbrook, I don't see why you don't do it.

If it's, say, Klay Thompson + David Lee or Bogut + Barnes for Durant + salary fillers, you do it.

[QUOTE=Fudge]:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:[/QUOTE]

Anthony Davis + Westbrook doe :eek:

[QUOTE=LONGTIME]Anthony Davis + Westbrook doe :eek:[/QUOTE]

Anthony Davis is the one player in the entire league I wouldn't trade for Durant, unless I had serious concerns about his ability to stay healthy.

It would be really stupid to trade Durant. The only way in hell that happens if KD wants out and won't resign.

Investing in just Westbrook is a terrible idea. He's a Steve Francis type player. What happens if he starts getting hurt? He could get hurt and it's all over for OKC. No back up plan.

Dumbest trade in NBA history to get rid of Harden. They would have won titles with that team.

Lol at throwing in Lee and Bogut like they're prizes. That gonna cost them Curry and Klay Thompson. This is Kevin Durant.

Played more games than Durant this season

LeBron and KD about to wrek the league :applause:

At this point I think it's pretty obvious Brooks somehow got holds of dirty secrets of the top management.

You need to get, for Durant, a young fringe superstar and minimum 2 really good players, also no point guards since you already have Russ.

Fringe superstars:

Klay Thompson
Anthony Davis
James Harden (:lol)
Aldridge

So, in theory, I see that these 4 teams could put a package for KD.

Pelicans:
Davis straight up

Warriors:
Klay Thompson + David Lee + Harrison Barnes

Houston:
James Harden + D-Mo + Jones

Portland:
Aldridge + Matthews + Lopez

[QUOTE=RoseCity07]Lol at throwing in Lee and Bogut like they're prizes. That gonna cost them Curry and Klay Thompson. This is Kevin Durant.[/QUOTE]
Klay, yes, but not him & Curry. GSW won't give up Curry for KD. Curry is making less than Klay the next 2 seasons. He's greatly underpaid. Package would be Klay + a first + something else.

Edit:
Curry's contract isn't the only thing that makes him untouchable lol. That'd be too much to give OKC back honestly. How often are superstars traded for superstars? Klay's the best established player they'd get back honestly.

[QUOTE=LONGTIME]:wtf: :oldlol:[/QUOTE]
Lol yeah Curry signed $44M/4 year extension after his third year. There were major ankle injury concerns, and Klay just got a $17.5M/year extension this summer.

its happening..

Well yeah, OKC is gonna keep trading assets until they're left with a bunch of scrappy role players/scrubs.

Scott Brooks dream lineup:

PG - Steve Blake
SG - Andre Roberson
SF - Matt Barnes
PF - Nick Collison
C - Kendrick Perkins (obviously)

To hell with the glory boys, THESE GUYS ARE TUFF
