Kevin Durant trades will set Phoenix Suns back ‘for years’ | Dan Patrick Show | NBC Sports

YOU DON’T KNOW. SO THAT’S WHY A LOT OF PEOPLE WATCH LIKE, OH, LET ME CHECK THIS GUY UP. THE CELTICS ARE TRADING DREW HOLIDAY TO THE BLAZERS FOR. ANTHONY SIMONS AND 2. SECOND ROUND PICKS. SIMON’S AVERAGED 8 AND A HALF 3-POINT ATTEMPTS PER GAME LAST SEASON, THAT’S A 12TH AMONG PLAYERS 50 GAMES. THIS IS A SALARY DUMP WITH THE CELTICS. I DON’T THINK PORZINGIS IS GOING TO BE THERE NEXT YEAR, GOING TO BE SOME CHANGES. NOW, HOW COMPETITIVE CAN YOU BE WITHOUT JAYSON? TATUM IN A WIDE OPEN EAST AND YOU GET A SCORE. UH, SIMON’S, AVERAGE 20 FEELS LIKE EVERYBODY AVERAGES 20 NOW, IN THE NBA, BUT DREW HOLIDAY IS A, A WONDERFUL PLAYER FOR A TEAM LEADER. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE RAVE ABOUT HIM AS THE PERSON HE MAKES TOO MUCH MONEY. THIS IS A SALARY CAP DUMP. IT FEELS LIKE YOU KNOW, PROBABLY IN THE NEXT TO LAST YEAR OF HIS CONTRACT. YOU KNOW, YOU GO BACK WITH, UM, WHAT’S GOING ON WITH SAN ANTONIO? SAN ANTONIO IS THE SECOND PICK IN THE DRAFT, HARPER. YOU KNOW, GOT DEAR, AARON FOX AND YOU GOT CANCELED AS WELL. SOMEBODY’S NOT GOING TO BE ON THAT TEAM. PROBABLY DEAR AND FOX BECAUSE I THINK HE’S IN THE LAST YEAR OF HIS CONTRACT. SO, THAT’S WHY, WHEN YOU’RE WATCHING AND YOU’RE GOING, WHAT’S THIS TEAM GOING TO DO? WHO ARE THEY GOING TO ADD? WHO ARE THEY GOING TO SUBTRACT? AND I THINK YOU’RE GOING TO SEE A FEW MOVES HERE COMING UP. UH PRIOR TO THE DRAFT OR DRAFT. ALSO, ACE BAILEY OF DYLAN HARPER. HE DOESN’T WANT TO GO TO CERTAIN TEAMS, SO HE’S TRYING TO MANIPULATE THE DRAFT OR HIS AGENT IS. TO GET HIM TO GO TO OF ALL PLACES THE WIZARDS OR THE NETS. NOW, MAYBE THERE’S A BIGGER PICTURE THERE WHERE TEAM THAT HAS A COUPLE OF FIRST ROUND PICKS LIKE MIGHT GO. GIVE A COUPLE OF FIRST ROUND PICKS FOR ACE. BAILEY THERE. SOMEBODY MAY SWOOP IN, BUT HE DOESN’T WANT TO GO TO THE TEAM. HE DOESN’T WANT TO GO. INTERVIEWS AND I THINK HE’S BASICALLY SAYING NEW ORLEANS THE NETS OR THE WIZARDS. I CAN’T REMEMBER. WHEN SOMEBODY SAID, MAN, I CAN’T WAIT TO GO TO THE WIZARDS, BUT HE MIGHT SAY, I CAN GO THERE, I CAN BE A STAR. I CAN GET MY AWAY. MARVIN. LOOK, HE’S USED TO IT. HE WENT TO RUTGERS. HE HAD THE PICK OF THE LITTER OF ANY COLLEGE, HE COULD HAVE WENT TO, YOU KNOW WHAT, I’M GOING TO PICK. PICK RUTGERS. YEAH. SO EVEN MORE OR THE NETS. NOT TOO FAR AWAY. THE OTHER PART OF THIS, YOU KNOW, THE ROCKETS WITH UH KEVIN DURANT, VINCENT GOODWILL, OUR GOOD BUDDY FROM YAHOO SPORTS HAD A DEEP DIVE ON. KEVIN DURANT GOING TO THE ROCKETS. HE’LL JOIN US COMING UP NEXT HOUR BUT YOU START TO LOOK AT THIS WITH THE PHOENIX SUNS. NEW OWNERSHIP LOVES TO COME AND PUT THEIR THEIR STAMP ON A FRANCHISE AND WE WERE AT THE SUPER BOWL. AND ALL OF NEWS THAT KEVIN DURANT HAD BEEN TRADED TO THE PHOENIX SUNS. ALL THESE SONS FANS WERE SHOWING UP. THEY HAD THEIR JERSEYS ON THEY’RE EXCITED. FINE. BRADLEY BEAL. IS, A NO TRADE, UH, CONTRACT. SO YOU’RE STUCK WITH BRADLEY BEAL. JAYLEN GREEN WHO YOU GOT FROM THE ROCKETS WHO IT GOT IT. YOU KNOW, THEY GAVE HIM A BAD CONTRACT. IT’S GOOD CONTRACT FOR HIM, BUT A BAD CONTRACT FOR THE PHOENIX SUNS. AND HE GOT, DEVIN BOOKER, DEVIN BOOKER IS GOING TO GET PAID THOUGH, EXTEND HIM NOW, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? GET 3 GUYS WHO ARE PLAYING THE SAME POSITION. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? AND THAT’S THE PROBLEM. YOU GO IN FIRE A COACH OR FIRE A COUPLE OF COACHES AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HEY I’M BRINGING IN MY MICHIGAN STATE GUYS, WHICH MATT ISHBIA MICHIGAN STATE. THIS IS WHERE IT GETS DANGEROUS WHEN OWNERS COME IN AND THINK THEY ARE REALLY SMART. THESE ARE SOME COSTLY MOVES THAT THEY’VE MADE WHAT THEY GAVE UP TO GET DURANT IN THE FIRST PLACE. EVEN NOW IF I’M PHOENIX, I’VE GOT TO NOW. IT’S GOING TO SOUND CRAZY. I’VE GOT TO GET REED SHEPARD IN THE TRADE WITH THE ROCKETS. I HAVE TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THIS JAYLEN. GREEN IS, YOU KNOW, A GUY WHO’S GOING TO SCORE BUT HE’S NOT A GOOD SHOOTER. YOU KNOW, IT’S PERCENTAGES AREN’T GOOD. UM, YOU KNOW, HE WASN’T A BIG POSTSEASON. UM, AND YOU KNOW THEY DID WELL BY GETTING RID OF HIM. YOU BRING IN DURANT, OKAY? HE’S GOING TO BE 37. HE’S GOING TO WANT TO CONTRACT EXTENSION. OKAY, WHAT’S HE GOING TO COST ME $60 MILLION A YEAR? PROBABLY, UH, BUT I DO LIKE, WHAT THE ROCKETS ARE AT LEAST TRYING TO DO. THEY MIGHT BE A YEAR AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. AND THOSE YOUNG KIDS. AT AGE 37, I DON’T KNOW IF HE’S A TOP 10 PLAYER. I KNOW HIS NUMBERS KIND OF INDICATE YOU KNOW YOU GET 26 AND 7 AND 4 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. OKAY. AND HE HE’S A UH A 5040 90 GUY TOO STILL. FOR HIS CAREER UM OR AT LEAST THIS PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. HE’S DONE THAT. SO SUNS, AND THAT’S A MESS. AND THEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT THE ROCKETS GOT. AND THEY DIDN’T GIVE UP SOME OF THE YOUNGER PLAYERS. THAT’S WHAT’S AMAZING. LIKE IF YOU SAY, HEY, WE’RE YOU JAYLEN. LIKE IF YOU SAY HEY WE’RE GONNA GIVE YOU JAYLEN JAYLEN. YEAH, WE’LL TAKE HIM YOU. I MEAN WELL, I DON’T KNOW, WE’RE GONNA HAVE TO THINK MARK THOMPSON. THE THAT TRADE. IF I’M YES, READ SHEPARD GETS TO STAY 2. I KNOW HE WAS THE THIRD PICK IN THE DRAFT. HE’S GOING TO BE 1 OF THOSE GUYS WHERE IT’S LIKE, MAN, WHERE DO YOU COME FROM? YEAH, YEAH. YEAH. YEAH, I I JUST, UM, DURANT TRADES ARE GOING TO SET PHOENIX BACK FOR YEARS. IN A, IN A WEST THAT IS SO COMPETITIVE AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE NOW? DO YOU TRADE DEVIN BOOKER RETURN? NOW, YOU GOT TO TAKE ON THESE BAD CONTRACTS AND THEN HOPEFULLY YOU GET UH, YOU KNOW, MAYBE YOU GET SOME YOUNGER PLAY. I DON’T I DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW MANY DRAFT PICKS, THEY HAVE. THEY THEIR DRAFT PICKS ANYMORE. I GOT SOME MESS AND IT WAS A COUPLE YEARS AGO. YOU’RE PLAYING IN THE NBA FINALS. IT DOES FEEL THOUGH LIKE HOUSTON THEY TOOK A FEW RISKS AND I THINK THE RISK OF LETTING GREEN GO AS GUTSY THIS GUY, PEOPLE LOVED HIM AS A SCORE, A SLASHER GUARD JAYLEN GREEN AND LETTING HIM GO. IT’S IT’S IT’S 1 OF THOSE. YOU GOT TO LET SOMETHING GO TO GET SOMETHING AND YOU HOPE FOR THE BEST THAT HE DOESN’T BECOME A 5-TIME OFFICER. HE’S NOT GOING TO HE’S NOT GOING TO THEN THEN IT’S THE RIGHT MOVE. OH ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY. THAT’S IT IN A NUTSHELL. ABSOLUTELY THE RIGHT MOVE. WANTED TO KEEP. NOW YOU CAN GO. WOW, HE AVERAGED 20 AVERAGED 20 YEAH, MORE I THOUGHT OF AS FAR AS COMPARISON WHERE IT’S A GUY THAT CAN PUT UP NUMBERS. BOTH OF THOSE GUYS ARE BUCKETS BUT IT’S GOING TO TAKE THEM 35 SHOTS TO GET THOSE BUCKETS. I’D RATHER HAVE WOULD. I DON’T WANT TO EITHER YES. I MEAN THESE GUYS GET 20 BUT HOW MANY SHOTS DOES IT TAKE FOR YOU TO GET 20? AND THE, THE OFFENSE ISN’T GOING TO REVOLVE AROUND JAYLEN GREEN. BUT YOU GOT THE TEAM. BAIL SITUATION IMAGINE SHOWING UP TO WORK AND KNOWING THAT MANAGEMENT IS LIKE HE’S GOT A NO TRADE CLAUSE. HEY, BRADLEY. HOW ARE YOU? WELL, I’M GOOD TOM. GREAT TO SEE YOU. IT’S HIM AND LEBRON. MAKING NO TRADE CALLS.
