    i can't pretend to get inside this guy's mind. the one constant has been that he wants the money, though, so i'll be surprised (pleasantly, tbh) if he takes an extend and trade at that lower number. that's a best case scenario if for the team he lands with, as it keeps him having to produce and behave. the 4 year is just super dangerous with him.

    so yeah, i'm good with us insisting on that. i just hope we have other moves set up in the event we get outbid or he decides he wants to test FA.

    Kyrie needs to be around leaders, clippers don't provide that

    again, corvo misquotes amick there. he says they're all "in play".

    the part i agree with is kyrie doing all this to take less money. the nets already offered this money, and he found it insulting.

    Do we really know what the Nets offered him? Reports I read were he was basically told to wait until season ended and the contract that was offered him had stipulations in it (something about winning a championship, behavior clauses possibly?)

    Man I’m kind of hoping we move on, you can’t trade for this guy with the idea that you’ll give 4 years in the off-season. He’s a flight risk, always, even if he seems or says he’s happy where he is. Imagine we trade both picks and he bolts, we would be SCREWED. Only way you can do it is if he does the 2 year extension here immediately. Even then I’m kinda hoping we move on to other deals though, this guy makes me nervous as hell.

    Not gonna lie, I’m relieved, it’ll go bad for Kyrie there as well, and he’ll ask out again in time. Pivot to Utah, Charlotte, San Antonio, Toronto.

    Wow. Didn't see that coming. How does that work with Luka?

    KD next? Cause that's not enough to stay in win now mode

    I still like a Charlotte deal the best. Hayward, Rozier, Plumlee fill a ton of needs. Rozier is FVV-like and is under a reasonable contract for his production.

    It’s a better trade then we could offer if the Nets want to still want to compete right now. We don’t have any useful players for right NOW to offer.

    I’m still surprised the Mavs interested and can’t see that working but I am glad it wasn’t the Clippers. Lol
