Also just to add, I saw a post on Facebook regarding a proposed trade between the Pelicans and the Nets.
The Nets asked for Ingram, Nance Jr and multiple first round picks for KD. The Pelicans declined on it. Does this show that KD's value in the market really is that low? Any thoughts.

I do not think that this scenario speaks of Durant's value but rather than the capability of the Pelicans to acquire Durant. Pelican is just a small market team, and we all know that they already signed Zion to a maximum rookie extension. And I do not think that giving up their young assets is a good move for them.

Plus, do you think Durant would want to play in a small market team?

Obviously no and I don't think that their superstars will compliment with each other. Zion, Ingram, McCollum and KD? I don't think that they are fit with each other as well and yes I don't also think that Durant will play in a small market team like New Orleans.

Russell Westbrook just fired his longtime agent who wanted him to stay in LA and finish his contract. This is leading to speculation that Westbrook might be open to a buyout and a new contract, which would obviously mean his agent taking less money. I’m sure Westbrook feels like his situation in LA is toxic and he’s willing to do whatever to get away, including giving up money. I guess him and his agent couldn’t agree on that strategy. His agent released a good statement about it. Worth reading…

It has always been toxic since he went to LA.
I don't know the exact reason why it became toxic, but I think that the Laker fans have huge expectation with the team with the addition of Westbrook, and they felt that the team didn't meet that expectation, and they started to criticize the whole team and that is also the reason why Westbrook is feeling that he is toxic when he went to LA.

Looks like we will see another saga again. We are watching the KD Saga and where he will be landing. At the same time Kyrie is silent but many are still waiting on where he will land as well. Now let's add Westbrook in the list and let's wait where he will be landing. Will Westbrook be traded knowing how much the team will be paying for him this upcoming season, or he will stay with the Lakers.
