I bet when Woj says "lurking" when it comes to the Raptors on Durant, they're waiting for this exact scenario where there not many buyers and the ask softens.
How can NBA teams justify the rumoured prices out there? Rights to seven future firsts plus players and Scottie? Unless a guy is young and in his prime how can this be justified? I don’t like that type of deal at all. Here’s a deal I would be that seems reasonable. OG, Siakam, 2 first round picks in the next three years.

Teams can’t deal everything they currently have including their future picks. Look at the dire state it puts LA or Philly in into the future (along with other teams). It can ruin a franchise by mortgaging everything. You’d have to think Masai is smarter than that. You’d also think other GMs and owners are looking at previous situations and wondering if the risk is worth it.
