Kevin Durant has been pretty vocal on Twitter this season. But if we told you a year ago he would be in a Twitter debate about trading LeBron James with rapper Lil Dicky, would you believe it? Probably not.
Yet here we are. Apparently Lil Dicky and Durant have history, though -- Durant appeared in a music video for the rapper in 2015.
It all started when Lil Dicky tweeted Wednesday that if he were Cleveland, he would "one thousand percent" trade LeBron. Bold.
Hence why his former colleague felt the need to respond.
If I'm Cleveland, I'm one thousand percent trading LeBron

He did it, they won. If I'm him I despise Gilbert for a variety of reasons. If I'm Gilbert, I'm getting something back this time. He's gone

I know,not easy. His love for Clev got them 1 but his warranted disdain for ownership is gonna cost them another. So I blow it up b4 he does

Durant went from the "it's LeBron James" argument to singing a different tune and borderline agreeing with Lil Dicky. But hey, his last tweet isn't wrong.
If the Cavs could trade LeBron -- "could" being the key word here -- they would in all likelihood get an epic bunch in return. But the fact remains the Cavaliers couldn't trade him even if they wanted to. LeBron has a no-trade clause that he has said he will not waive for any teams at any point during the 2017-18 season.
Still, let's continue to debate the "what ifs" because the potential possibilities in this case are endless and -- let's be real -- quite entertaining.
