00:00the kevin durant news this week spicy one of the most interesting parts of the durant news

00:07was seeing the notion that he may not the asking price for durant might not be all that high and

00:19it's something i've talked about on shows in that i can't tell if people can just if you're going to

00:24be able to get kevin durant for cheap the funny thing of that is if all of a sudden kd can be had

00:30for cheap tom instead of like four teams are on the phone it's like 14 teams are on the phone

00:38and then the price just gets driven back up anyway but there's this vibe to me now it's like hey kd's

00:46available right and the san antonio spurs are on the on the are on the other line and they're trying

00:54to see if they can make kd and when be a thing and the again the notion i get is the sons will ask for

01:03the second pick and then they'll get laughed at and be told here's 14 and devin vasil and you'll like it

01:12and i just like can't believe that that's potentially what a kevin durant asking price is and it's what

01:19makes this kd situation that we're hearing the sons probably want handled before the draft oh

01:27absolutely so puzzling to me it does and you know part of that would come down to again that is that

01:35would be the excuse me the first domino to fall for the sons because it has to be getting out of

01:39that bradley beale deal i just don't think they can i know you bring it up and i get why but i just

01:45don't know how you get out of it so if they're willing to take less for beale at least you get

01:52something back and then you would also if you can take a good amount back for kd it's like listen we

01:58got enough for kd we will also move beale and we'll have enough that way the sum of them makes

02:03everything look better so it again this is what we talked about ago it can't just be getting tom

02:08tibodeau they have to improve the bench and they have to move off of kd and move off of bradley

02:13beale's contract to make the sum of the offseason greater than just one or two here's my thing on

02:18beale no one can take on the contract well do you think any team whose goal next year is to push for

02:2750 okay the answer is zero well then if i'm the sons i'm already at an asset deficit yeah i can't

02:35attach more i can't attach anything to get rid of him i need somebody that wants him on their team

02:39like if the brooklyn nets are like no no we don't want to lose games next year

02:43so we'll just put it's fine like we'll take beale and maybe the talent works for us

02:48beale has a no trade clause so there's that whole insane thing of this uh that he may decline at all

02:56anyway it's true i so there's this kd cat piece of it yeah you know there was a report the other day

03:05that maybe the sons won't be that interested in carl anthony towns i'm not sure i fully believe

03:10that i think devin booker would be but then there was a report saying that the sun's biggest concern

03:16in the offseason is getting a big yes cat's an interesting player in that it's like oh we want

03:21to center but then sometimes like not that center because the defensive question marks that could

03:27potentially come with it if i just said to you right now kevin durant for carl anthony towns straight

03:35up who says no knicks fans won't say no mitch rob kd brunson there are some there are some knicks fans

03:46who are panicked about it though because of katie's age and health that's i totally totally uh reasonable

03:53concern but it's not like towns has been a a bastion of health throughout his entire career

03:59he's been better recently no yeah he's so much younger though like you expect him to just play

04:05way more than durant absolutely but is that the piece that's needed because if you have mitch robin

04:11his defense and rebounding plus the offense from kd does that offset what towns brings you know in

04:19summation this is the thing with like uh a cat towns debate or excuse me a cat katie debate

04:26if you were ranking players value over a course of the regular season plus playoffs i'm not sure katie

04:34should be ranked in front of kat but if all that matters next year is when the playoffs begin

04:41it's still katie again through that prism katie still like a top seven guy in the league absolutely

04:48you give me a healthy kd with with defense around him and brunson running the offense

04:54he's just the all-time bucket getter it's like if he's on the knicks next year

04:59what are they to win the east they're the favorites oh yeah that's the that's the selling point uh if you

05:06will

05:07you

05:08you
