Yeah KAT on Ayton money would be great


But this is just scary:


2026-27
$57,124,200

2027-28
$61,063,800

DAMN!

? what if it ends up being Gobert?

That would bring Kamm out of retirement FOR SURE.

He just tweeted “Kyrie Irving”

Nothing else

I’m trying to learn twitter. This guy had the top 5 in the draft, Whitmore falling out of the top 10, Coulibaly getting a promise from the Wizards. He also predicted Harden opting in for a trade yesterday.

Same dude that mentioned KAT to Phoenix or Dallas. “ Some NBA intel. KAT may get traded to PHX or DAL.”

I think this guy is legit.

[JamesConway912]

Stumbled over that as well. KAT is flawed but also absurdly gifted. I’d much rather trade for him than Ayton. His shooting would open up our offense in a ridiculous way. Kyrie-Luka-KAT won’t defend anybody but would be even more lethal on the offensive end.

Also knowing the Mavs you’d have to imagine that they’d probably love to add a „new Dirk“ (KAT) alongside „the next Tyson“ (Lively) lol

We’ll just need a new JJB and we’re good to go

He has consistently been about 24 hours ahead of woj and shams on many big things, so far.

Honestly Kyrie to Philly is the first time I think a rumour makes sense.

1. Morey loves star players and is crazy enough to do this.
2. The Sixers have a few players in Korkmaz, Milton, Reed and McDaniels that could sweeten an Ayton trade for us. One of the main problems with Ayton trades was that the Suns could literally offer f*** all to sweeten the deal. Philly can do that.
3. Harden to Suns also a classic new owner syndrome trade.

I´m actually pretty excited if we could land Ayton, Reed, McDaniels and still have the MLE for Brown and another SG/SF/PF.

This would be a decent 3rd string center target. He showed some really good flashes a season ago. Not sure what his injury status is.

he's been a bit too loud
this is probably the exact point in the cycle where his source cuts him off and he just starts making up random shit for the attention

edit: yes I did just follow him too a few minutes ago and turned on notifications

No chance of getting Maxey from Philly, I assume.

[JamesConway912]

KAT‘s contract is hilarious lol. But why not, we’ve just traded for Kyrie and KAT would be here throughout his prime. He’s probably the ideal PnR partner for Luka. Can punish switches much better than KP in the post, can actually attack from the perimeter and is a great pick and pop big man (high volume, high efficiency three point shooter) 

I actually like the fit with Lively, too, going forward.

Irving
Green
Doncic
Towns
Lively

+ Hardy, Kleber, OMax
+ MLE

and whatever is left from the team after that monster of a trade that would be needed here. I’d assume Hardaway, Bullock and Holmes would be locks in a trade.

I don’t hate it hate it…concerning to me that he told the Wolves he doesn’t want to play center so much. I am just not a two big type of dude.

As always we’d circle back to Maxi eventually im crunch time. I think that’s a decent fit. Powell would be a good fit as well if he sticks around due to his PnR defense.

Don’t know much about Holmes but he seems rather mobile as well for a big in case he stays here. So while it’s not ideal it’s not like KAT would be paired with a behemoth like Boban constantly. Pairings like KAT Drummond otoh….yuck

More realistic:

Irving | Hardy
Green | Hardy
Doncic | MLE | OMax
KAT | Kleber
Powell | Lively

I like KAT the player, but I just don't see how we afford his contract and field a quality team.

The alleged information from sources is that twitter user DroppingDimes20 (who dropped the James #Harden trade news) is a disgruntled intern of the Philadelphia #76ers who had been fired due to budget cuts.
