The amount of times I have to shake my at this $50m player every single game is nuts.
If there's a way to package him for the Freak, sign me up.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't dream about a KAT for iHart and DDV trade (and Siddiq Bey). Hell, bring back Thibs if that could happen.

I am optimistic a reunion could happen. iHart has only one more year left on his contract and they won't be able to keep him considering how much they are already paying Shai and now J-Will as well as Chet. If we can find them a cheaper long-term option (by trading KAT for that player and pieces), I think we'd have legs for a deal.

I also think DDV is not long for MIN. He will also be on an expiring contract next year and has not fit in with the Wolves. Quite honestly, I think they'd be willing to dump him especially if we could find a capable PG for them. I'd be willing to trade our youth (Kolek, Pacome and Diawara) in that deal.

Maybe KAT for Nic Claxton straight-up and then re-direct Claxton and his declining contract for iHart.

I also think KAT to PHO would have legs because of the Devin Booker connection. Dillon Brooks, Grayson Allen and Nick Richards would work for me. Maybe we could re-direct Grayson Allen for DDV and Dillon Brooks for assets to get back iHart.

I like that Phx trade and would actually keep those hypothetical players unless OKC was willing to give up IHart pretty easily. I loved DDV but think keeping G.Allen and D.Brooks would help more as we would gain 2 solid defenders (plus Richards as C insurance).
