Draymond Green to Kevin Durant: 'I got the ball from when you broke the USA scoring record'
Draymond Green: I got a secret I’mma tell you—but if I tell you this secret, you gotta promise to just know that it’s my secret, all right? And you can’t do nothing about it, all right? I got the ball from when you broke the USA scoring record. Kevin Durant: Why do you got that, though, dog? That’s crazy! Draymond Green: Somebody had to keep it! I kept it after that game and was like, “This your ball.” Then you left it sitting somewhere, and I was like, “He don’t want this ball? I’mma save this!” So I got the ball here. Kevin Durant: Oh man, I know it’s safe over there, man. Draymond Green: Yeah, I just need your signature on it so I can sell it. Kevin Durant: Man, that’s one of them ones, though. Draymond Green: Hey, man, I got a chance to play with the GOAT. You think I don’t want to hold on to that? Come on, man! Kevin Durant: Oh man, this is crazy.Source: YouTube

Another report Suns will trade Kevin Durant this offseason
However, don’t bet on a Devin Booker trade, despite the speculation.

The Suns tried to trade KD at the trade deadline and are currently sitting at 11th in the loaded West.
Is this his last season in Phoenix?

Luka would have been better off getting bounced in the first round last year, becoming a U.S citizen and winning an Olympic gold medal with LeBron, Steph & Kevin Durant. Less aggravation, less basketball, lower expectations. – 1:20 PM

“Wide open. Lose our man after a make. We can’t have that..I was close to the play. but I was guarding my man. Maybe I should have ran out there. By the time I looked up, he was wide open.”.

Phoenix is now 2-6 when Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal score 75+ points in a game.
Just too many defensive lapses and not doing the little things down the stretch.
Phoenix is now 2 games in the loss column behind 10th place Sacramento.

On that second Booker turnover, the Grizzlies’ runout was a scramble situation that was briefly disjointed. That allowed Allen and Durant to hustle back and recover into the play. Durant recovered to Morant, who would have just drove for a bucket had he not. – 9:04 PM

Often discounted in the post-LeBron-Steph-KD face of the NBA debate, Jayson Tatum has as many titles as Giannis & Jokic, more conference finals appearances than Luka & Ant combined & won more playoff series last year alone than Shai & Ja combined. wapo.st/3Qzdd2p – 12:00 PM

Caught up with Scottie Barnes after he helped hold Kevin Durant to 15 points on 5/15 shooting in a Raptors win. Barnes said he sees himself as a playmaker on that end ‘like Draymond’ and believes he is “one of the best defenders in the league” — sportsnet.ca/nba/article/ra… – 8:48 AM
More on this storyline
Draymond Green: From 2015 to 2019, in my opinion, that was the best era of NBA basketball. The best five-year stretch. You may say it was the Showtime Lakers, but at the very least, it’s in the top three. And you coming to the Warriors elevated it. That era of basketball wouldn’t have been the same if you hadn’t joined. Your presence forced teams to build to compete against you. It elevated the game. -via YouTube / February 27, 2025
“Yeah, I’d play,” he said on The Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis. The 36-year-old also named some of the toughest opponents he might face in the competition, recalling his experiences playing against NBA superstars in one-on-one scenarios. “I can win this, but I can also lose, too. I played once with Jayson Tatum, and he got cooking, making shots over every contest. I played once with Kyrie [Irving], and he can’t miss,” Durant noted. “I’d say JT, Kyrie for the simple fact that I actually played against them,” KD started naming toughest 1 vs. 1 matchups. “I’d say somebody like Joel [Embiid], too. I think he can get a bucket from a wing. Shai [Gilgeous-Alexander] would be tough in the ones, especially if you’re going like a 5-second shot clock. And then ‘Ant’ [Anthony Edwards], I think I have to put him here, too.” -via BasketNews / February 27, 2025
And then there are the narratives that come with all of that. People saying, “Oh, you don’t want to play with Draymond anymore,” or “You don’t want to go back.” That stuff is annoying—I don’t like it. But I can play under that noise. People say a lot of things about me, but for me, it was just about whether making that big of a change right now made sense. And it didn’t. Look at what y’all are doing right now, Dre—y’all looking good. Jimmy, and then you still got C on the way back. I just didn’t think it made sense. -via YouTube / February 26, 2025
“They’re gonna trade [KD], and he knows that,” ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported on Wednesday. “I think everybody’s intentions are crystal clear here.” Windhorst had previously suggested that a deal was a real possibility. “Yes, I do think that’s where we’re headed,” Windhorst stated. “They’re a second-apron team, and the player they really want to trade, Bradley Beal, has a no-trade clause. -via BasketNews / February 27, 2025
Dwyane Wade: They wanted to go after Kevin Durant. We had Hassan Whiteside, a player that came out of the G League, had a great year, and was up for $100 million. I’m sitting here like, I want young fella to get his money… but y’all about to pay him over me? Take care of me first. Then, let’s take care of young fella. Because I’ve shown it. I’ve proven it. This is proven. And they didn’t do it. They didn’t get Kevin Durant, either. -via YouTube / February 27, 2025
