Like that's career suicide.. ES

One reason why he wouldn't sign: millions and millions of dollars.

I think there a TON of machinations being put in place behind the scenes right now. This is not just for coming to play at the Mecca its also his business ventures . All his friends also being put in place from Kleinman, to teammates hes closest to, to family. This has been in the works with the foundation continuing to be set for quite a while. Nothing is 100% but this is pretty high percentage right now. The key is who will follow him here.

It takes a level of maturity to see beyond the obvious. Rainman has not demonstrated this but at least can digest a dot connected video.
What have some of us tried to show you? That there is an opportunity for the right player. Gretzky was great because he had a sense to where the puck was going, not were it was. The assets we are accumulating add up. |

No matter what, if one of the reasons we end up with KD is because this FO got rid of Kanter, Perry should get a lifetime contract. |

I think KD ends up with us. The point about him cementing his legacy by bringing a championship to NY is true. People will be talking about how he had the balls to come to gotham and save us when other basketball immortals like LeDouche has shied away.
Oh please basketball gods. Make this so |

KD is not Lebron. He is Kobe.
Lebron can carry you if you have a decent team. Lakers are not. KD on this team would not make the playoffs. It would be Laker like. That is not terrible btw, the team would still flirt with playoffs and perhaps get in if our first round pick is substantial. And better the year after. To think he alone is the savior or will bring another and then we are all that is still a tall order. Lebron has a gap this year. Its him, a bunch of misfits on one year deals, and then the rookies. He is an island to himself this year. Its about expectations. Did LeBron really think he'd make finals again or the starphuch fans and media. Same here if he comes. A lot more moves have to come after to contend. |

Couple that with our young players developments over the years, plus the extra picks we have from the Mavs and we could be set up for a decade. Crucial thing for me, is our draft position. |

OTOH, KD has said, straightout, dozens of times: I like Golden State,I like playing here, I like winning, and so on. Yeah, sure, it's possible KD signs with the Knicks but I'd guess that even if the odds of the Knicks getting him are higher than anyone else that it's probably 60/40 he stays a Warrior. I can see KD going to a solid team but I really can't seem him at this point wanting to play a few years on a crummy team. If the Warriors start losing, the maybe he leaves but I'd guess he's going to get another two year contract. The Warriors might lose Green or Thompson, and almost surely will lose Livingston, Iggy, Looney, and and so, who knows, if they have a few injuries and the rookies continue to fade, and they start losing, maybe Durant will want to leave. Until then, nah. He seems happy winning. My 1.9 cents.
Cousins is a different story and if the Knicks wanted Cousins, I can see him heading to NY |

Durant keeps it all internal and has only NOT denied it. If it’s a NU thing it could be Brooklyn.

The main thing is we are ready for him and other FA to come on board.
We did what we can control. The rest will take care about itself. It is just a matter of time when the fruit is ripe if the gardener did all he can to grow it right. "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Hamlet

KD is almost a lock to join the Knicks and everyone on this forum almost became president of the united states without running
Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL
So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree

Rainman, how does KD come here if your prediction of our FO getting fired holds true?
You have been adamant that losing is bad (it is) and we building bad habits. And why would a tier one free agent come here is often your diatribe. |

Hope he goes somewhere else. He's going to be 31 next season and we will pay him to he's 36! We can do better with a younger max contract.
