2022-23 Team Developments: News / Trades / Free Agents / Rumors

this makes me sad
I don't think this helps Dallas long term - they are going to be a mess on defense.
The Lakers with Kyrie with AD behind him would have been the perfect team sigh. THe Lakers had more to off too

 

KD makes a trade demnd in 3...2...1...
Miami or Phoenix?

 

I’m happy it’s over too but it’s going to annoy me even more when our FO does nothing again.

 

Probably dodged a bullet over the 4 year thing

 

I’d be okay only if KD wants to be a laker. We should give all our assets away for that possibility ..

 

well that sucks. kyrie would've instantly made this team a title contender and there's no one else this team can realistically acquire at this point who will make any sort of noticeable difference

 

I wonder if Kyrie signs the 4 year max, breaks down or goes a bit loopy and that’s what finally pushes Luka out of Dallas to… the Lakers.

As for how Luka and Kyrie work. I imagine in similar ways to how Lebron and Kyrie worked. Luka carries and Kyrie puts up 25-30 efficiently to smooth out the ride.

 

We dodged a huge bullet long term. Just don’t see Luka and Kyrie working out on or off the court. Never felt the Nets were gonna trade him to us anyway. Why reward a malcontent by giving him exactly what he wants in a move to LA?

 

I wonder if we would swap AD and KD?

 

Suns readying their offer

 

Lol..So this 4 year thing was all smoke and BS all along.

 

Luka and Irving in the same backcourt will be interesting for sure lol

Lakers season is basically over anyways. Ham is overmatched and teams are bending us over a barrel to unload Westbrook, which is the one thing we need to happen....

Nets weren't doing Irving any favors and I wouldn't be surprised if he throws the same tantrum in Dallas without an extension lol

Surely they at least talked to him before making this deal yes???

 

why do you guys keep thinking stars like Luka would force their way to la? Its not like this team is ran by some GM savant here

 

He's only eligible for a 2 year extension: this would have been a perfect play by the Lakers - sigh. Season is lost and they aren't getting anything for Westbrook's contract. If they aren't serious about winning this year, I don't know what changes next year. TIme to think about moving Lebron and AD.
