I said it last time he was on the market. You sign him for a say a 5 yr contract and he will be in his pyjamas in 2 yrs on his couch. One year deal would be the max
If we move in to the top 3 of this draft, and only if, I say you trade Barnes for Durant. You have a starting lineup of IQ RJ BI KD Poeltl while maintaining all your youth and future of the team. You contend for 2-3 years and can develop all the young guys while going for a title. Again this only makes sense if we get a top 3 pick that can replace Scottie as the future centre piece.
any news on what's going to happen with Boucher?
If you can get him for a mostly salary swap. We always talk about having too much depth. Swap Quick RJ and a first. KD will play high level ball till age 40
Agree on needing to keep Jak tho, in any win now move he has to stay
Post and pre-season, I tune all Raptors news out unless it's confirmed by the organization itself.
No way
Not to mention we already have Ingram who is kinda like a light version of KD
Love KD but ship sailed way to late for this. Kd had the perfect opportunity to join us back in 2016 b4 joining that 73 win warriors team. Kd said we were his favourite team growing up because of vince carter and we would of built a dynasty with him instead of Kawhi and would of had even more respect today for winning his own chip and doing it for a franchise that had yet to win. It was too late in 2022 its definitely too late now. Kd better off going back to OKC unless we can get him without giving up too much. Wouldnt want even RJ included in no KD deal
Suns did this situation to themselves, they just started grabbing every big name they could and threw chemistry to the side……and now look where they are, overpaying multiple players to stay home and watch those same playoffs they should be playing in 😆
The NBA doesn't make sense
It's all bull
Made up wwe garbage
Kd is not raps material, we good as is
Knicks, Dallas, Houston, maybe Philly not Toronto. You're giving too much away – the haul for Durant won't be much.
❤❤❤LETS MAKE SURE AND LIKE THIS VIDEO AND KEEP BEN GOING ❤❤❤
Never to Durant. period
Do not bring that miserable old lady Kevin Durant to the Raptors. He is poison.
Kevin durant for Scottie the brick layer
FFS Ben 😂
If the Raps are going to go all in on a trade, it's ONLY going to be for The Greek Freak!
Pass, we need someone younger.
We have BI and RJ ,they are rlly good bucket getters we don’t need a old worn out KD alr? We’re good ( with all due respect 🫡 )
so the stupid rumors are starting again huh😂
Trade rumours always include Jakob, A.J., and Grady. Three of my favourite players. Sends a chill.
Shoulda just traded Scottie for him when we had a championship team. Not now. Positional doesn’t work.
It was Scottie + Thaddeus young for Kevin Durant. We would have Siakam-Durant-OG-Fred … and we’d be a freaking good team.
Seems like alot of max players will be available "at the right price". Given the salary amounts of the stars, just doing the math of matching salary will make trades very difficult. So few teams have meaningful pics to move. Raptors have all their pics and attractive players – so Raptors will be identified as a option for these trades- solely from the seller perspective. Durant, Zion – no thanks. Ja Morant.??
Shams relies on agents for stories. Agents like to get bidding wars started for their clients. This story has no legs, or even genitalia.
Giving him a 3 yr deal would make sense..
I’d rather have Nikola Jokić I wouldn’t touch Kevin Durant right now with a 10 foot pole
They ALWAYS Want to farm our players lol. FoH
If we keep Barnes, Ingram and pick I’m down for it. We got young pieces BUT still might not be enough
Trade Barnes
Rj and Quick for KD let's get it done Masai 🔥
I'll pack RJ, quickley, and agbaji's bags myself if KD would reconstruct his contract
