Windhorst I think Team USA is gonna be playing Serbia without Kevin Durant Steve Kerr met with him today and they decided he needs more time with that strained calf They could fly in a replacement for KD but that's not gonna happen

Steve Kerr on Porzingis being out and if he'll be available for the road trip this weekI got a text this morning that he's pretty sick at the hotel He's not going to be coming over here

Windhorst The key here is that the Cavs are moving away from believing in the Core 4 and I think the genesis of this is because they're worried that Donovan is not going to re-sign this summer

Darren Wolfson Kevin Durant vetoed a trade to the Timberwolves last summer because he didn't want to play under Chris Finch I don't have all the inner-workings of this but my understanding is KD had trepidation playing for Chris Finch Superstars want to play with Anthony Edwards

Windhorst Giannis could be on the Heat by 3 oclock But if hes not what I suspect is that the Bucks will shut down Giannis Because their future now is dependent on both their draft pick and Giannis avoiding injury I wanna know how Giannis is gonna feel about being shut down for the season

Windhorst This deal can get done if Cavs say yes What's holding the Cavs up is I'm sure what they might have to pay James Harden in a new contract but also that they actually want to fracture the core 4 This ball is sitting in the Cavs court right now

Kevin Durant You should ask the Europeans and the World Team if they want to compete Look at Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic let's go back and look at what they do at the All-Star Game Is that competition But these two dudes out there Luka and Jokic they don't care about the game at all
