Okongwu 

Hunter 

And JC

Plus 3 1sts

As good of as player KD is I kinda don’t want him on my team. Dude has to many burner phones and burner accounts for my liking.

Durant is the king of ball stopping.  They do not benefit one another

We improved our offense with the ball stopper Hunter starting. Ball stopping doesn't hurt us as much as it hurts others.

I can understand some fans have personal reservations but KD is a legit top 5 player and likely will remain that for at least 4 more seasons.

I was just thinking more along the lines that Atlanta is one of a few select playoff teams that can trade a good asset haul while still having KD come into a front court that is top tier plus Capela. Just have to figure the vet min PF.

If you think KD isn't worth a win now team by sending OO, Hunter, and Collins I don't think you know the NBA then.

You mean like how everyone said GSW wouldn't mesh with him?

Ummm Curry is the best off ball player of our generation! Hello

People are saying kvon got done dirty

Ball stopping actually hurts GS offense but KD made up for it in the playoffs where you just can't do shit against him

We should all know by now people say a lot of stupid ish. Case in point: apparently there are many Utah fans who feel they got fleeced in the Gobert trade. 

Like, seriously? LMAO.

The Nets were limited in that series and you knew from the play in game, this team was a shell of last year's team.

What about the one that swept the Cs and was a couple inches away from the ECF

KD would never play with Trae..their games don't mesh together

KD has a rare game that meshes with anybody

Those are idiots. Most smart Jazz fans know they won that trade.

I feel bad for Kev. He’s about to have a welcome to CA taxes moment also. GA state income tax is 5.4% CA is 13.3%. Guy lost some scratch in this deal.

After sending away unprotected picks as far out as we did recently, I'm less inclined to be all in on winning now. 
 

I mean yes, of course I want to win now... but I don't want to push all chips in on these next few years and be left with just Trae and an aging KD when '25 - '27 rolls around. 

I would do something centered around JC/Bogi/OO and picks for KD/Curry. That's a balance of win now and we keep another young player in Dre to keep us competitive long term. 

[Sothron]

I'm more inclined to go after Ben than KD. Ben fits our timeline better especially with those future unprotected firsts. Is KD even still playing after his current contract of 4 years is up?

I thought our goal was to win a chip. If that is still the case we have to be all in. Kevin Durant has to be the focus until he tells us he's not coming. We should focus on Ayton, Simmons, or whoever else after the KD situation is resolved. 

The goal is the chip and the future is always now.
