Suns are out.  They don't have the draft capital and the one piece they could trade for Durant (at least for the time being) he is locked up.  By signing Ayton they can't trade him until months later, I think Jan and a full year to the Pacers who signed him to a sheet.  Without ayton and good amount of draft picks Suns are well out.  Which given theor team structure might actually be better for them in the long run.

Pretty surprised to see he’s actually had a pretty decent shooting percentage the last couple of years. I honestly don’t know how his defense is these days (guessing not great) but he’d be a nice piece coming off the bench to score a few points for them. I wonder if iguodala will be back with the team next year, or perhaps Carmelo takes up that old x star player role off the bench instead.

I was under the impression that Iguodala was going to retire. He seemed in pretty bad shape at the end of last season.

Another interesting development is that Dwight Howard is in talks to join the Nets. I personally think that Dwight, Kyrie, KD, & Ben Simmons would be a nightmare for opposing teams, but we’ll see what sort of roster the Nets have once the season actually begins.

I think he's a good fit for the GSW coming off the bench. He could definitely do some damage as most of the guys in GSW can shoot everywhere and that gives him the advantage to find an open space where he can shoot uncontested.
I'd definitely love to see him win a championship before he retires. I know he'll have a better chance of winning a championship if joins the Warriors than the rest of his career from different teams.

But the thing with KD is, he bolted out from the Warriors because he wanted his own team, so he did go to the Nets and instrumental on bringing Kyrie as well. But we have seen how disastrous it is, and now he wanted to join another successful them. So again, he will be what others call a bus rider, because he join team that is already strong in the first place. And having him bolster their chances to win a championship like the Suns or Heat, but at what cost.

He never cares. As long as he will get his paycheck and he will win another ring, nothing will change that.

KD is not minding what critics are saying, what matters on him is playing with a strong team and make his way to another title
and a possible another finals MVP, which is always possible as he was known as offensive players that makes good percentages
of converting it into a basket.

Carmelo is not as demanding as he was before, he already play the rule that is given to him and I'm pretty sure the Warriors will be able to utilize him because he is a superstar that ha past his prime and not only that, it will also give Melo an advantage because he might won his first championship with the Warriors.

Great 2nd team I guess, Carmelo is now healthy, so despite his age, I'm sure he can still drop a decent number playing the system of the Warriors. They will be a fast face team, it could be new for Carmelo but hopefully he will be able to make the right adjustment to fit.

Most likely he will only be in the 2nd team because it's not possible that he will start, Warriors love to play fast pace and with Melo's age, I doubt he will be able to play heavier minutes. Warriors are good in developing players, so we can expect that they will make Melo a better version of him and that he will have the chance to play in the NBA Finals.

I agree, Boston Celtics are a crucial team to beat and the Golden State Warriors have done their all in beating Boston in the finals, I think the offense of the Warriors because of Stephen Curry has proven effective on Boston's defense, but the Boston Celtics defense have proven very effective on other teams that they have shown the Brooklyn Nets a fast way in getting the sweep, I really think the Boston Celtics needs to keep Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum intact together, they are used in playing together and they already know the strength and weakness of every player of the Boston Celtics,


Well, the problem is not the team but the combination of Kyrie and Durant, these two seem not very aligned with each other and need to part ways, pretty much when Durant was in injury Kyrie Irving is doing well, with his scoring and won the game without Kevin Durant, and Kevin Durant did the same without Irving, I think they affected each other in ways on who's handling the ball, or so, in the start of the 2021-2022 season the Brooklyn Nets are one of the powerful teams in the NBA and I was very positive in their performance and back then they still have James Harden on the team, and they are doing fine on the start of the season until they surely don't have the chemistry, for sure not a good trade for the Boston Celtics in my opinion,


Well I really think the Los Angeles Lakers are expecting Carmelo Anthony to re-sign his contract, said on this ARTICLE, and I think the Lakers will not going to let Carmelo go on with a trade, but if he wants to be traded to the Warriors then a plausible player for the Warriors trade will be so much for the team, and I think they will not risk anything like that,
