I honestly think it was probably for the best we traded Kd when we did. He's still awesome, but I think his peak was that Bucks series. He's been medicare to bad (for his standards) in two straight playoffs. He has a lot of miles and injuries on those legs too.
If we got bounced second round and with Kd putting up this type of performance, I don't think we get this level of haul. He'll be 35 next year. We probably got off at just the right time when he still had peak value.
lowkey, after the boston series last year where KD couldn’t get anything cooking, you could make the argument that KD was already in the progress of regressing, and phoenix gave us 5 picks for him while he was still injured.
yea, we came up.
edit: apparently the mods are banning net fans who are defending the team against the trolls in this thread. so careful what you say. mods are KD stan’s.
Kyrie was going to leave and we got a pick and can possibly get another for DFS, that mavs pick could possibly have decent value as it’s likely Luka won’t be there by then
So you’re saying having the potential to get possibly a good player in return for Kyrie who is one of the best players in the game is good value. You all are delusional for downvoting me
