Kevin Durant was the same age as Kyrie when he got traded to the suns for 4 first round picks 1 swap, cam Johnson and Mikal bridges. Mikal went for 5 picks and cam for 1.

For all the other teams trying to trade for Kyrie I would need a package close to that to trade him. Not trading him for no peanuts maybe a bit less since coming of a acl but he was playing some of his best career basketball before the injury and a finals run.

Honestly, it's tiring…Some people around me know, I don't take pictures because it's my time. I'll sound rude again, but what can I do?”

Nikola Jokic in his podcast with Jao mile talking in Serbian Jokic said: “I miss it so much. I'm getting more and more bothered by popularity. This is going to sound corny, but, I'm getting ruder to people who approach me. Honestly, it's tiring…Some people around me know, I don't take pictures because it's my time. I'll sound rude again, but what can I do? If people can't understand me, I understand everything, but it's been 11-12 years and enough is enough. I feel better when someone tells me something, like you come to the zoo and take a picture of something.”

Matisse Thybulle averaged 37.4% from 3 on 3.46 attempts per game over his 132 games with the Blazers

Thybulle had improved on his 3 quite a bit from when he was a sixer. His defence also has been elite & he is a 2 time all defensive team player. Injuries these past two seasons have derailed him. However prior to these two seasons he averaged 66.6 games a season. Which is quite good, the injuries he sustained weren’t major or structural injuries. So I don’t believe he is injury prone or is likely to get reinjured just based on that.
