Trade & FA 2024-25:

It will be interesting to see what happens this summer.  Maybe PHX starts playing better and can try to plug some holes again this summer.    It just feels like once the door is opened, it is hard to close.

There was a rumor the Wolves made a push for KD.   From reading Suns boards, this was impossible due to their cap.  Is true?

Holding onto KD until the summer (if they decide to move him) is probably the best plan.  Although with him entering the final year of his contract, you do give him more power.    There are probably 10 teams that are cross off the list right away.  Probably another 10 would either don't have the assets or are not interested.  The rest can get a little blurry if KD forces things.

Wolves and suns are both 2nd apron teams. Basically means they’d have to match the money for KD at a perfect 100%. I don’t think they have a possible combination of dudes, especially centered around Randle like the rumor said, and it work.

Further both the Suns and the Wolves can’t combine players to get another making a similar salary. 

So yeah.that Wolves rumor was a total non-factor.
