It makes you wonder, what if the Jazz hadn’t traded Rudy. Would we have had enough to get Durant? DM, Butler, whatever picks we had, etc.. Isn’t that kind of what the Nets are asking for now? And seriously, why did the O’neale trade happen at the same time as KD’s trade request?

So picture it, Durant in Utah. For 4 years. With Rudy. Wow.

Gobert
Durant
Bogdanovic
O’neale
Conley

Suddenly Gobert’s playoff limitations don’t seem quite as drastic when you’ve got Kevin freaking Durant on the court with you.

And then there’s KD’s legacy (he doesn’t have one), but man would he become a legend if he brought a chip to Utah. In fact, Utah may have been the perfect place for him personally. He belongs in a small market. He gets too involved with media, etc. He could have been our Duncan. Instead he’s probably heading to Toronto or Phoenix. Missed opportunity?

Had a similar thought. Conley may have lost a step but as a facilitating PG with a KD and PnR with Rudy it would have worked great. I doubt KD would play in Utah but fun to think about. He and Rudy together would be good.
 
I’m terms of what those five players can do, they’re strengths and weaknesses, it’s kind of a perfect team. Everyone would play their role. And more importantly, the ball gets PASSED around.
 
That team doesn't even sniff a championship next year and at that point you have to completely tear it down again.

He’s a tremendous player. But this wasn’t gonna happen, mostly because it appears Don’s trade value isn’t actually amazing.

The Nets are you reportedly want Don, Bam, Ingram, or Barnes.

Right, as they should. The other part is the Simmons complication. The other part is KD apparently has to want to be somewhere. And the Jazz would have to put themselves in a crazy bad pick situation.

But sure.
