If he likes talented small market team with a chance of winning a championship wouldn't he rather go with the Blazers with Lillard & Aldridge?
What gives us the advantage over the Blazers?
I think Durant would stay in OKC if the Thunder could add a player like Marc Gasol.
Don't like Durant's style of play. I don't share your dream.
WTF? Let me see if I understand this. Durant decides to bring his talents to SLC, and you decline?
When he leaves OKC, it will be to sign with Dallas or Houston.
If it happened it would probably end up a sign and trade and gut the jazz. Bye bye dream
Of course I'd want him, I just said he isn't my dream player to come here (that would be Chris Paul). Same argument as the one against Melo. Style doesn't fit our system. Too much ISO p&r with 3-and-D shooters spacing the floor. we have none of those players, which is why we run movement based p&r.
Of course I'd take Durant, but I prefer ball movement over ISO, hence Durant is not my dream. Neither is Melo.
