    You may get banned on this site for saying you miss winning basketball!!! 90% of the posters on this site enjoy losing and want an endless rebuild even with two top 3 picks. Very sad…..

    …..a lineup of:

    Irving
    Green
    KPJ
    Banchero
    Sengun

    would hold its own and win many games.

    Nets and Nike could both be done with Kyrie, but people want him here…lmao

    Nets situation is his worst mess up…he came home…that’s where he wanted to be…he’s playing with his BFF KD…and still, he couldn’t get his act together

    Nets won’t get a comparable player back for him, so it speaks volumes if they would actually let him go…it’s not like he has some major injury or his play declined, so it would be strictly due to his behavior

    Wow so now KPJ is being compared to Kyrie on the headcase scale?

    When did he just take a vacation during the season twice?

    Literally nobody wants that. We all just want to finish what we started and lose for one more season. After that, it'll be a whole lot of years before it would even make sense because OKC will control our picks for a while.

    Three years of losing is a very quick rebuild. You're just a little impatient my dude.

    Well, let's take a look at what KPJ has done... He got run out of town in Cleveland for throwing food at the staff and "getting combative" after his locker was moved... here he assaulted people in the parking lot of a Miami strip club on gameday morning (and got a $50k fine). He had horrible personal conduct issues at USC (almost kicked off the team)... he got into a single car accident in Cleveland where he picked up a felony gun charge and also had drugs on him... and of course he was accused of punching a woman in the face in Cleveland...

    Irving is actually a choirboy by comparison!

    Anything is possible.

    The Lakers own their draft picks from 2026 on. After the new nba year officially begins they could trade picks in 2027 and 2029 and swap rights to 2026 and 2028.

    Lakers get:
    Kyrie
    Patty Mills (to match salaries)

    Nets get:
    Russ
    2027 1st
    2029 1st
    2026 swap
    2028 swap

    The biggest issue would be trusting that you can keep Kyrie longterm after completely mortgaging your future to get one last chip out of LeBron and company.

    Banned? o_O


    Enough with the hyperbole dude, if you can’t take negative feedback that’s on you. No one’s banning you for wanting the team to win.

    2026 swap? Stone may have something to say about that.

    No it wouldn’t. KD is still an aging injury risk.

    No, it wouldn’t be the largest in league history.
