think the idea is he gets to come in and be your scoring option who doesn't have to do much, rests frequently, and you're trying to ride him when you need it in the postseason for spacing.
Gross.
disagree. blow it up if you're memphis. they're a long way from contending. bane is a nice secondary piece but not your star guy. if you want to argue that the picks won't be worth a ton and KCPs contract sucks, yeah that's true but i'd envision they're a ok with being in the lottery next year and trying to rebuild (at least that's what I'd be doing with that roster unless you were going to go all in to add)
The last article said he wants to go to either (not listed in order of preference) -
Latest on Gianni’s is that if OKc wins they stand pat - if they lose, they’re all in for him, as if they can’t beat Indy this year, it’ll only be tougher sleeding in the future!!!
I didn't think Bane was anywhere near worth four first round picks. Craziness.
Unprotected is nuts! what if something goes crazy like Pablo tears his ACL.

Which I"m fine with.......but again, why does he get to choose where he goes.
Why would any team trade valuable assets for a player refusing to sign an extension with them?
Well, the wolves wouldn't trade for him if he doesn't sign an extension.
You asked why KD gets to choose where he's traded to and I answered. I'd rather go after a PG if we're using valuable assets so I'm glad we're apparently out of the running.
Especially when they come from a young, talented team that will have their picks in the 20's like ORL. Up to this point, UTA has very little to show for their return in the Gobert trade.
I get the sense if he was signed for 3 more years and he said he doesn't want to go to Minnesota, then Phoenix would take us off the list.
It's always possible but if we were offering the best deal, PHO would take that deal regardless of what KD wants and get him an Uber to the airport.
They were.500 this year playing the worst division in basketball and are now right against the apron with banchero due his likely max extension next year. Banchero is good, but he’s nowhere near a top 10 guy to build around. Question is going to be if they keep building. The piece was higher because it offloaded the awful kcp contract
Orlando is looking at the east and sees it as wide open.
no for sure. More just meaning its not like they were a 2-3 seed and now lock into contending for a 1 (though they may with how bad the east is).
If ORL can just stay healthy, they have a really nice core of players. Banchero, Franz Wagner, Bane, Suggs, Isaac and Black can be a Top 4 team in the ECF.
Very fair point. if you're saying best "young" talent, then yes he's undoubtedly a top 10 guy (probably top 3-5; lots of fun young talent under 25 with Ant, Wemby, Cunningham, Mobley, Williams). He's a year younger than Ant. He will be a really good player for a long time, more meaning not a top 10 guy I'm building around to win right now/this year (and coupled with the shit show the NBA has become where you almost need your star guys to be able to shoot from outside unless you're Giannis). Should've written that more explicitly.
