    You would still like to be able to use THT (and maybe Nunn) in a separate deal. I dont think Nets want to take on more payroll when they really don't want Westbrook as it is....

    It isn't greedy it is a good negotiation. Saying we want Curry and then accepting to take on Harris instead may prevent both 1st round picks haing to be included.....maybe none at all

    I wonder if the hold up is we are trying to expand this into a more complex trade. Deal Kyrie and KD at the same time to different teams.

    We have 2 firsts, THT, Nunn and Westbrook. We could help on the KD trade with a first if we can get a piece back in return. If Toronto is doing it maybe we can nab Kyrie and a Wing?

    But truthfully it just seems highly complex and maybe they want to simplify it into two trades.

    I just want Westbrook gone. I don't care how or when as long as it's before tip off for Game 1 in October.

    I think Seth is criminally underrated. Getting he and Kyrie for our trash is a godsend.

    Their owner wants to get rid of Kyrie asap. Marks is just trying to get as much as Rob is willing to give up. I'm pretty sure that they would rather dump Harris and keep Curry. I'm not that concerned about a draft pick 7 years from now. We could have a couple of Chips to show for it.

    Wow, you really convinced me with that strong argument that role players are worthless.

    we should really get both if possible and dump THT+Nunn on them.

    all 3 of them would improve us massively and play starter minutes.

    On the one hand it’s negotiation and it’s a preference. But I agree the main thing here is to get this done Russ for Kyrie and let’s not hang everything up on which shooter we get back. They both fulfill a need. Hopefully we can just get this thing done soon.

    I'd love to get both Harris and Curry but I get why it's not likely. I imagine Curry is our ask instead of Harris because IF Kyrie flames out this year then we have two expirings totaling 45 million as a fallback to make another move at the deadline. Also as others have pointed out it may be a negotiation stance. We could later agree to accept Harris and preserve a 1st round pick in the compromise.

    I agree plus we risk another team that may think they're one piece away from contending, throwing a hail mary and taking a gamble on Kyrie for 1 year, leaving us stuck with Russ.

    the sooner this gets done the better.

    Yeah, I don’t think it’s about greed. It’s negotiating. If the Nets truly are asking for BOTH picks, then Rob should be asking for the shooter who comes without a large injury question mark.

    Exactly. Best to keep the option open.

    Good, because just like with all of your Westbrick stances, you never have.

    Maybe..but we will get at least one of them. If we are giving up 2 picks then I'd rather have Curry, and then use THT and Nunn for another play.
