NBA analyst says Draymond needs to call KD to make trade happen

preview

NBA free agency is off to a blistering start with massive extensions going out to the likes of Nikola Jokic, Ja Morant, Karl-Anthony Towns, Zion Williamson, Devin Booker, Darius Garland and Bradley Beal, plus a couple major moves — Jalen Brunson is now a Knick and John Wall is now a Clipper.But the whole of free agency seems to be waiting on one &nbsp;the current Brooklyn Nets and former all-everything forward who is expected to be the crown jewel of the NBA's 2022 free agency crown., the Warriors are among the teams that have interest in Durant. But as Spears correctly notes: "So does more more than half the league. It’s KEVIN DURANT. You better make the call if you’re an NBA GM.

"Draymond, give KD a call. Real simple. 'Hey KD, we know what happened. We've had the podcast, we've ironed it out, we've talked about it. You want to rekindle? You want to go ahead and win two more championships? You want a chance to get some more MVPs?' Steph got his MVP now because the naysayers, Steph had to get his MVP. He's got it now. But if you're talking about winning four of the next five, all the stuff that's going on on social media, he gives you a great chance to do that."Yes, there's a lot of airtime to fill until the NBA's 2022-23 season tips off in mid-October, but just&nbsp;sixteen days removed from the Warriors winning an NBA title without Kevin Durant — — against one of the "" we're somehow already back where we started.
