    You gotta do that in my opinion.

    Kyrie / Schroeder
    Bev / Reaves
    Rui / Harris
    Lebron / Gabriel
    AD / Lebron

    We add two great 3pt shooters, clear up our log jam at SG. I think our bench drops a little without Westbrook, but for the last 5 games or so he just hasn’t been good.

    I’d still prefer OG to Kyrie, but shrug.

    Phoenix thinks they can make a trade that keeps them and Brooklyn as contenders, lol Phoenix isn’t even a contender now. Paul is just about washed and Ayton hates all of them. Paul/picks for Kyrie does not make Brooklyn a contender.

    if marks is coming up with that, it's a good sign, imo. marks always comes up with stuff that he thinks sucks for us, and that one doesn't suck as much as what could happen.

    KD already asked out of Brooklyn once too..maybe he told Kyrie that he hasn't changed his mind on leaving the Nets himself.

    Yeah, I mean if that’s the deal you’d kind of have to do it. Marks is a moron, but he’s usually proposing trades that are awful for US, if he’s proposing one that he thinks is realistic value like this, Kyrie and a shooter we need for just the 1 pick, even I would do that.

    I mean, this is the bottom line, good or bad, sign him of not. In the end, if he comes you root for him, if he goes somewhere else, you root against him. Nothing changes with that.

    Khloe is tired of him spending her money while cheating on her. Making him get a job. Makes sense.

    I love reeves but I'd move him to the bench and bring in a 3 and D sg with more size

    Wasn't looking that far ahead, plus I keep thinking Reaves will improve a fair amount. He is still new to the league and just figuring out what he can do.

    I'm absolutely on board for that trade as well. Russ and one FRP for Kyrie and Harris - sign me up. That's a contender. Could still possibly trade LW, Bev and a pick for Bogdan and have an even more murderous team.

    Initial reachouts seem to have happened. Message I've received is BKN either actually not interested or playing hardball. Was expected given that BKN is so far performing reasonably well. Time is working against them though.

    I guess this deadline won't be too boring after all!!

    i don't see why dallas would be in the mix

    kyrie with a very ball-dominant player like luka doesn't seem like a good fit

    if there was ever a trade that could save our season, it's the Kyrie one.

    best case scenario we win another ring, worst case scenario Kyrie pisses off a few West Coast jews.

    I'll take that.

    Luka is probably the most similar offensive player to LeBron in the league, I think it makes perfect sense. They'll never win anything if its just the Luka one-man show every game, every series, every year.
