    For what it's worth. He talks a lot of stuff, but there's zero doubt he knows things we don't. Respectable batting average and legitimate LeBron/NBA ties. When he goes off like this it's typically legit.

    Would Joe Harris actually be considered a 3 and D player?

    i know he’s known to be a credible 3 point threat, but how is his defense?

    Have to see what is going out completely and coming in but Kyrie by himself changes the calculus and the ceiling of it enormously (understatement).

    Off the court? I have no clue what earth is flat man will do or say at any given moment...

    That bunch wouldn't have made the play in game without AD in the chip season. The same way they more or less sucked without him and Lebron in the following season. Would have equally sucked this season the same. Role players can be replaced. We wouldn't have won anything with all of them here last season, and wouldn't be able to trade them for much now.

    Just a sticking point and both sides holding tough. I'm sure that will soften.

    They are also "optimistic" a deal gets done.

    Kyrie skill set is elite, stole a lot of Kobe moves.

    Haynes report confirms what I heard yesterday about the stall in talks due to the 1 vs. 2 FRP situation. Still think a third team will be required, but depends on what happens with Durant - which is the bigger priority for BKN.

    Cautiously optimistic this gets sorted out, may just be a game of poker face at this point. Lakers really want it to happen.

    Credible 3 point threat is really underselling it. Guy has averaged around 46% from three on 6 attempts a game for the last 4 season.

    Defensively he grades out as a slight positive. But shooting of that caliber with average to slightly positive D is a hell of a combo.

    If he is healthy, as a throw in, he takes the Kyrie trade from good to great.

    Kyrie
    Harris
    Lebron
    AD
    Jones

    The thread titles for Kyrie will be legendary.

    the off the court has been my worry the whole time.


    But the product on the floor will be much improved so we gotta hope between LeBron and Ham that we can keep him focused

    Well there aren't any vaccine mandates in LA. That's a start.

    I agree 100%. Honestly, I am more excited about the possibility of finally adding some good shooters more then anything.

    Kyrie and Curry would be a huge get, instantly adds shooting and veterans we lack, adds them to a young, athletic team. I would take Harris instead for sure, but with his age and recent injuries, glad to see the Lakers are trying to win a trade.

    Kyrie has hurt his brand in his last two stops. He may be crazy, but he's not stupid. He will be motivated to make it work here.
