What or who would you give up for Durrant

Karl Malone is tight with KD...just have the Mailman stay close with him during the season and build the relationship even stronger. We'll have to give Karl some official position with the Jazz so we can use that as a selling point.

Also, it won't be difficult to show KD that SLC has everything OKC has (small town feel, outstanding fan support, only major pro-sport in town, etc.) with the exception that it's a much nicer place to live with better scenery.

KD is the only NBA Superstar that fits the mold of what the Miller's want in a Utah Jazz player...hard worker, humble, get's involved with the community, doesn't get into trouble, good role model, etc.

This. If he is willing to resign here then you trade a lot for him. You wouldnt give up all your players but you would make anyone available outside of Gobert. Let them take a pick of any 2 players. Even if we gave up Favors and Hayward and some picks for Durant long term it would be worth it. A lineup of Exum, Hood, Durant, Booker and Gobert would be a really good team. You could look to improve the PF spot as well if needed or maybe Lyles develops into a starter.

If it is a rental or you are unsure then you dont give up any of the core players, Exum, Hood, Hayward, Favors or Gobert. But you give up some picks or lesser players. Jazz with a lineup of Exum, Hayward, Durant, Favors Gobert has a chance to win it all this year if we still have some depth coming off the bench like Booker, Hood, Pleiss and any 1 of our 20 pgs.

I'd would give up Gobert too, but man that would be hard. Anyone else on the Jazz it's an easy ya.

Gobert is my favorite player in the NBA.

I'm with ya. I do gobert for durant and then always be worried that I will regret it
 
There's too many issues with this hypothetical. It'd put far too much pressure on one of the leagues youngest teams to win now.

It makes sense for KD to sign a one year deal with OKC because he's eligible for a 35% of the cap max deal in 2017. Other scenarios will pay him considerably less salary, from what Ive read, possibly a $40,000,000 difference.
