    I can’t say how this team would look and what their record would be with a healthy FVV. But I would have never traded for Durant. A 28-29 year Durant hell yes.

    I would trade him as well for an asset in this draft or a future one.

    Funny I feel like Jabari has progressed the most. But regardless of which young guy you think is furthest along I would definitely investigate these tweets and trade KD if they are in fact, him.

    Im just generally underwhelmed with what KD brings to the table. Just puts up whatever shots whenever he wants and then reverts to this defensive "just appreciate greatness while you still got it man" shtick which is annoying. Just retire and take Lebron with you man there will be greatness after you and I'd rather watch that.

    I can't imagine how Jabari has to handle this. There's no win for him here, no matter what he does. It's either gonna be "see he freaking out he's not mentally tough just like kd said" or "he didn't do anything not mentally tough just like kd said".

    Honestly if the Rockets front office aren't considering some sort of team-imposed suspension for conduct detrimental to the organization then they deserve the fallout.

    Spend the rest of this punted ass season finding out what a 5 of Reed-Amen-Tari-Jabari-Alperen looks like. I don't give a flying **** about KD's legacy.

    I’m disappointed with Bari’s development, but I really like the kid. Even if the burner stuff is all bogus, it’s still incredibly embarrassing for Bari. I’m genuinely sad for him on a human level. He tries hard, works hard. Maybe this will help make him mentally tougher. I don’t know.

    but anyway, we should be looking to trade KD regardless. We don’t need the drama, and he doesn’t fit our timeline; we’re not ready to contend.

    Am I crazy to expect we can get a decent 2026 draft pick and a good player?

    Yeah, I agree. Between him and Amen, there's at least a little bit of the toughness left in this team. It damn sure isn't coming from Kevin Durant, holy smokes him being the judge on mental toughness is actually wild. If he were a rapper his name would be "The Notorious N-C-Cure".

    It wouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but the evidence is incredibly weak. The sentences look like someone asked chatGPT to write things as though it's KD.

    Listen I'm furious with him about other things. I have no motive to defend him. It's just not reasonable evidence. It's easily faked and it looks faked.

    I would wait till there's something a bit stronger. I don't need him to admit it or see his phone, but I do need better evidence and you must see that that's reasonable. My mind is dying to unload on him but I honestly can't justify it yet.

    I think in the next 24 hours we find out a lot more.
