    LOL .... what a locker room and wrestling match for the ball on court. Irving needs it. Durant needs it. Harden needs it. Oh and this coming out now for Stevo. Have fun in Brooklyn.

    I’m told he’s been “furious” at the organization for some time for not giving him more input on the head coach hiring. He was not in favor of Steve Nash. Also, his relationship with Kevin Durant has been described as “very distant” recently.

    I’m hearing a ton of #Nets / Kyrie stuff this morning. Sounds like an absolute mess. Developing...

    How is that a nice package? They could have gotten this everyday. I say LOL @them, they held out for this :D
    I guess they hate Morey and didn't want to deal with Philly.

    Brooklyn is going to be much see TV this year.

    I wonder how dramatic the implosion is going to be?

    With these 3 characters? This couldn't be scripted better.

    This is gonna be good...

    Those picks are gold. They can retool their roster very quickly. The other guys will play freely and they can develop some of the youngins they got. Not a championship roster now or the next 5 years but they got some promising pieces

    Being in Square 1 with cap flexibility + picks is not a bad place to be in today's NBA

    The picks are unprotected, which does add to their value. I think Houston got a great return, I just hate that Harden got his wish.

    Wow! I think Houston made out like bandits on this one.

    Adding Oladipo to that cast will keep them in the playoffs, while taking in a great haul in picks.

    On the bright side, at least we don’t have to see Harden’s traveling, flopping, foul drawing, free throw parade until the Finals. Have fun Eastern Conference.

    So how does this work? Every Nets possession begins with a Harden/Kyrie/Durant jump ball?

    Looking at it, every team wins the trade. Nets get that third star to form a super team. Houston remains a playoff team with now a bunch of picks. Indy replaces Oladipo with a younger more athletic wing. Cavs add two good role players while just giving up a Bucks forst round pick.

    I think they got a good haul of picks, I think both Houston and Philly failed miserably by not agreeing to a deal.

    I don't think they're a playoff team. Now Wall is THE guy. He's looked better than most expected but is he ready for the role? Now they have 3 injury risks with more responsibly landing on each of them. Diplo and Tucker aren't enough to hide their bad D. Wall has been atrocious on that end. Wood can put up points but any legit big takes his lunch money. They're better than Minny, OKC and Sac Town.

    It's hard to win when much bigger fish were obtained and will make much more noise and have a bigger role... BUT the Cavs got a great deal and only cost them essentially a 2nd round pick. Allen is what?...22. Steal.

    Nets imploding in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Kyrie and Harden will kill each other. Steve Nash better wear a knife proof vest because he definitely getting knifed in the back.

    I'd prefer if a team outbid the Clipps, Nuggets, and Blazers for his services.

    I am not impressed with the Nets, actually. They need at least 2-3 balls in play to be effective, Kyrie is totally unpredictable, there are injury concerns there. Offensively, they are talented, but other than that... I'm not scared.

    Kyrie is not unpredictable. He is predictably stupid. New York media need to run him out. If I was writing in New York, I would write articles that Kyrie Irving is the last trade the Nets need to make to have a chance at winning it all. He is the worst team player with that kind of talent I have ever seen.
