If Durant says he wants to go to a team without the proper salary space that team will justifiably have a fire sale to unload salary.
While that very well may be true, that doesn’t really apply to us.
We’d have to let Kyrie walk, probably let Rozier and Morris walk, and then have Horford and Baynes opt-out and walk.
Then we would still have to shed some salary. Figure we get Kings-Clips-Celts first rounders, and signed a second rounder, we’d still only be at around $29M for 11 players (4 rookies).
Would KD really want to come play for THAT team?
I’m pretty sure it’s as close to impossible Durant comes here.
