How A Kevin Durant Trade Could Work + Looking At The Wolves Cap Sheet w/ Kyle Theige
The Dane Moore NBA PodcastAbout this episode
On today's show, Dane is joined by Kyle Theige to discuss the logistics of a Kevin Durant to the Wolves trade. Dane and Kyle start the episode by laying out the Wolves current financial situation -- highlighting the free agencies of Randle, Reid and Alexander-Walker, and discussing the market factors that may open a window for all three players to stay in Minnesota while staying under the second apron. After establishing that, Dane and Kyle get into what the logistics of a Kevin Durant trade would be in a world where they simply could not afford to retain their current free agents.
