Well Minnesota did try to trade for him at the deadline and Anthony Edwards stay on KD dick nh so I don't think it's completely baseless

Wolves probanly feeling the pressure a bit and know they need to improve before they're the next team that has their star player wanting out

Nah I know Im just saying a lot of stuff from him has been mostly speculative not necessarily this

Also look for this to try and revisit a KD trade in the offseason as they tried to trade for him don’t mean much to me when that same sentence can be said about a bunch of other teams

Edwards be riding KD crazy though

Who wants to talk about Cooper Flagg and the potential of the wizards!?

Okay so like I think Flagg should go to the wizards since him in DC is great marketing for merica!!

That aside I think the wizards need to figure how they want next season to be

Figuring out if Saddiq Bey is going to be a player for them and getting a new coach that knows how to create an offense that actually caters to a guy like Sarr

Also they need to figure out what to do with Jordan Poole

I actually like Middleton and smart as vets there then been doing a decent job

Also Coulibaly really needs to work on his efficiency

I don’t like Keyshawn George on this team playing and he shouldn’t be getting mins over Corey kispert who’s severely underutilized but again that’s coaching

I think the difference is KD has all the leverage this summer and can tell teams not to trade for him because he won't re-sign...might mean they have some mutual interest if they're willing to circle back this summer

More teams would've been candidates at the deadline because they would've got two postseason runs with him instead of one if they trade for him this summer

I wish a soon to be 37 year old KD who hasn’t been to the conf finals since 2020 would tell me he won’t resign if I trade for him

Nah I know lol I was just defending Klay because ppl are dumb and will run with it

Misinformation kinda triggers me though

KD’s stock dropping as a guy who can take you to the promised land imo

But maybe I’m alone in that thinking

I don't think that's what he's viewed as or at least shouldnt be....he should be looked at as someone that can take a team to another level if they're already really good and if they don't have to gut their team to acquire him which is always the problem lol

Shouldn't be as a franchise player you're trying to build around or viewed as some savior

It's not on him to create. It's on the gm to put together a winning roster, for the coach to foster a winning environment and for melo to perform. He's performing.

Good winning players turn their situations into positive ones

Tired of yall ignoring him not being a winning player

We got something good cooking over there man. I know changes and consolidation has to happen, but Harden and KD stay in a fucked up situation last few seasons. Let's keep the shit organic imo. That shit would change the whole identity of the team and I don't know if I would do that

I'm being ridiculous and nostalgic, it's too late for all that lol

KD raises a team’s floor mostly in the regular season and the team will lose in the playoffs

He’s cool to have for star power but if he went to the wolves I wouldn’t pencil them to getting to the finals

It's both imo

If he's really that type of play he should be able to elevate the players around him and carry you to wins...he hasn't played winning basketball and hasn't been healthy

However

The front office/coaching staff/ownership of the previous regime had done a very poor job of managing and constructing a roster and creating a winning environment


Both sides are at fault
