If so, where might he land?

I know a lot of people will regard some of the returns that we'd be looking at as offensively low for a future HOFer, much like they regarded Jordan and a first as too little, but if we're going into rebuild, I'm sure Danny would like to get something for KG, just as he will want to get something for PP.

The only team that I can see that might make any sense at all for a KG trade is OKC.

To be honest, he probably would retire before agreeing to going there, but maybe he'd be intrigued by OKC's potential to contend for a title.

Bulls or Rockets. I don't see any other option in which he'd waive it honestly.

I'm sure he will consider it, but its likely too soon to really tell.

I can think of a handful of teams on paper that make sense, but as we all know, it's entirely up to Kevin.
*CB Miami Heat*
Kyle Lowry, Dwayne Wade, 13th pick in even numbered rounds, 18th pick in odd numbered rounds.

I kinda feel like KG is probably telling Danny "contender or I retire"

and on alot of levels, can't blame him, who wants to spend their last one or two years on a bad team rebuilding, plus to be brutally honest, if we're going full rebuild mode, I'd rather run younger guys out at the 4-5 positions and see what they have while not caring if they screw up and lose us a game.

Very true.  He'd only waive it likely for somebody with a real shot at a title, which is why I thought of OKC.  We'd have to eat the two years of Perk's contract (ugh!), but they do have the 12th pick, and Jeremy Lamb, and Perry Jones.  Yeah, I know, sounds like a poopoo platter, but well, rebuilds are ugly that way.

  • We may as well put Tyrion in at center.
Bulls
I like Marcus Smart

Perk's contract, plus Lamb and the 12th would be an amazing return. Lamb was the 12th pick last year so we would basically be getting two #12 picks plus a return of Perk for one year of KG. Really, who in Boston wouldn't do this deal?

Bulls
They'd be a good landing spot too, but I don't see a way to make that work with any of the players they'd be willing to trade, unless they'd be parting with Deng, which I doubt they'd do.

Seeing him and Noah on the Bulls would be a lot of fun defensively. I'm not sure what we would take back from them for him though.

Rockets would be a good fit in that they have the young prospects that we would want.

Having him in OKC would be great, and I bet he would waive his no trade to play with Perk, but again I don't really see a salary match.

If the C's were interested in DeAndre Jordan would they trade Javale McGee for him? Would he go there?

DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

I think it'd be good value for both teams, considering Boston is rebuilding and OKC is contending.
