So where should Durant and Bron go this off season?

[Black and White]

Orlando apparently believe they have a shot at him. I don't buy it but there's intrigue based on the fact they will have enough space to sign two max deals and then go over the cap for fournier as well, they have an ownership proven to be happy spending money and they'd have enough young assets to also be active in the trade market. if talking package deal in free agency something like conley, oladipo, durant, gordon, vucevic could be scary too and be in the east. Vucevic, Oladipo and a top 10 pick could be sent off in a trade as well.

I agree though Boston is just as good a fit with less moving parts to make it make sense.

Basically I think he should either go to GSW or jump to the east so he has an easier run to at least the conference finals every year. Realistically nearly any team with some cap space could be an eastern contender with Durant.

I could see Orlando working, the framework of both Boston and Orlando is promising with Orlando having the room for a second star and us being able to get a second star using our Nets pick, I think it's a long shot for both of us, my gut tells me he is staying

[Lebronxrings]

both have 0 help on their teams so i don't expect them to stay, especially lebron who decided to join the cavs, turned them from a lottery first pick to an elite team but is getting shat on by griffin and gilbert who are stealing from him.


Lebron to spurs

Durant to Toronto.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

For Boston, I don't think Thomas fits with Durant. Unless you plan to have him coming off the bench. And then the 5 needs to be a two-way player with rim protection, imo. Unless I'm vastly underestimating Bradley as a potential #2 (in this case he would need to be a high tier #2). Good luck finding that guy.

Thomas can come off the bench if you want a stronger defensive lineup with Smart, the second player will be acquired with the Nets pick, probably a rim protector of some sort.

KD going to Golden State

LeBron going to CHina

Unlimited gh I can see bran going there

[Cocaine80s]

Not true imo. They'd have to add more, but they don't need another star.

They could be elite on both ends and have the lineup flexibility to put out their own version of a death lineup that would be dominant against most teams.

Smart, Bradley, and Crowder are the exact type of players you want around Durant.

They definitely need another star

[SwishSquared]

That team goes nowhere unless they add another star

Throw the Brooklyn picks at Denver for Gallo. Something like the '16 and '17 swap.

Smart-Crowder-Durant-Gallo-Amir
Thomas-Bradley-Hunter-Mickey-KO

That team would knock out Clevend in 6. They'd need to hope that Mickey can play C and protect the rim right away. But that'd be a top 3 team in the league imo.

Lol that wouldn't even be better than current OKC

And Bron takes KDs lunch money any day, they're better off on the same team

[avonbarksdale]

why not toronto?

lowry/derozan/carroll/durant/valančiūnas

bench

joseph/ross/johnson/patterson/bismack

goes to the finals 100%

We disagree on that team being worse than OKC. It has better secondary stars and role players. They don't have another top 5 guy like Westbrook, who helps Durant immensely. But Gallo + Crowder > Ibaka + Adams. Stevens >>> Donovan.

And of course Bron + KD is the best combo proposed. That's pairing two top 5 guys. But it's not realistic that they team up. They'd both get roasted.

I don't know what pieces they have to move to make a max contract slot. Also, on that team J-Val is better suited to coming off the bench. I'd guess they don't have enough cash to sign KD with DDR's cap hold without moving at least one of Joseph/Ross/Carroll/J-Val. Probably J-Val is only one off the table for the Raptors.

Lowry/DDR/Durant/Carroll/Biyombo is a really potent lineup.

KD going to Golden State

LeBron going to CHina

Can the Warriors afford both him and curry ?

[guy]

Not true imo. They'd have to add more, but they don't need another star.

Smart, Bradley, and Crowder are the exact type of players you want around Durant.

So they'd be a great team that still doesn't win a title. Not sure why that's any better then his current situation.

[Gileraracer]

Lebron will probably collude again in Miami. Best HGH there
