yeah, unfortunately now boston has all the leverage, and they won't have to give up much past brown to get kd.

also why i wasn't crazy about getting kyrie, tbh. look at the evidence--these guys aren't good for you.

 

I still want Kyrie tho. Lol

 

Pre-ordered my K. Irving jersey.

 

Most importantly this is good for us. We either get Kyrie or have a stronger negotiating position with the other teams because the threat of Kyrie being in play and us having options.

At this point I think Durant either goes to Boston or sits until they can trade him to Phoenix in January.

 

This is the right move. Good luck finding replacements if You fire your coach and GM.

Plus, honestly KD simply didn’t accomplish enough in Brooklyn to warrant allowing him to run the franchise.

 

I think we end up with Kyrie, Harris and maybe Curry.

I’d prefer a Conley (or Indiana) deal where we gave up fewer assets but not sure Kurt/Rob can pull it off. We will see. I definitely would be happy if they prove me wrong.

 

I always thought eventually we will get Kyrie, but the difficulty is getting either Indiana or San Antonio (only teams with cap room left) to take on the Westbrook contract.

The Nets save $130 million dollars (Kyrie’s salary and luxury taxes) by doing this.

 

Durant demanded Harden be traded? Where's that coming from? I thought Harden wanted out because of Kyrie's weirdness and he was having to do too much in his absence and he wanted to go to Houston and play instead with Embiid?

 

I think this explains the Bazemore signing a bit. Seems Mike Brown is just looking to bring in some of his former Warrior players that he can rely on to be a good locker room presence.

 

Harden is Daryl Morey's boy. always has been. As soon as he was able to trade Simmons and his mental problems he jumped on it and James asked for it.

 

yeah, no way tsai, as a new-ish NBA owner, caves into KD's demands which would make him look super weak

if he doesn't end up in boston, i could see him sitting out a considerable amount of games until the nets finally trade him. hopefully this can get the ball rolling on kyrie

 

Based on Tsai’s latest statement - looks like we were right! Both of them are manufacturing this drama to give Durant an out.

If we can see through it, the other owners and league office can too. I wonder what, if anything, they will come back with!

 

It's amazing to me how much crap fans gave Lebron for "The Decision" which was simply him deciding where to go in free agency. Not only that, he donated the money for televising that to the Boy's And Girl's Club. Yet here we have a full-grown big baby who is fresh off signing a 4-year super deal telling the team that just signed him "them or me" regarding his GM and coach. That after putting this team together with Kyrie. It's disgusting. The right thing is for fans to boycott him and not watch him play or boo him at his arena wherever that ends up but that won't happen. Or for the league to step in and cancel his contract but there is no rule allowing that. Hopefully, this is something they address in the coming CBA. it is starting to look like megalomaniacal Napoleonic rich psycho kids running the league.

 

I guess he needs a team as stacked as the Dubs... who knew
Also, people putting Durant and Bron in the same sentence should be b**** slapped.

 

Would you guys prefer to give a 2 year max to Bron or KD at this stage? With all his issues, I would still go with Bron.
