    Amazing how three players including (Harden) can wreck a franchise. I am sure the will get a nice haul for Durant but hopefully their starting line up will send them to the lottery.
    Nets
    Claxton
    ?
    Harris
    Curry
    Simmons

    The Lakers have plot armor, it's infuriating.

    No matter how many bad choices they make the league always finds a way to get them back in the mix.

    psychotic seems a little harsh for Irving, more like a lost contrarian trying to fill a void but doesn't know what tjat void is. Like others have said, the lakers always get bailed out. We shouldn't care in HTX, Westbrook and Simmons will net us some high lottery picks

    If LeBron didn't go there they would still be bad. Their ownership and GM is not good.

    Imagine doing everything wrong this past season, and then possibly rolling out a team of Kyrie / Curry / LeBron / AD / Dwight in about 3 months.

    Imagine.

    Agreed the media is always looking for ways to support them, per trade ideas or linking disgruntled talented players to their franchise.

    Really hope the Mavs get Kyrie so he can wreck their **** up.

    Kyrie and Wood too. Their defense and team chemistry will be so trash and Luka doesn't seem to have much patience for failure.

    What's aggravating about him going to LA, is that I fully expect Kyrie to be ridiculously good this upcoming season. He will be on his best behavior and focused because he has a chip on his shoulder and more importantly wants his big deal.

    Whatever stupid team pays him after next season will sure as hell regret it when he goes back to being a complete selfish jackass, but for just next season he will be the best version of himself.

    I think “possibly” is the key word since Kyrie and AD will probably only play half the season, as usual.

    Yeah... You'll need a fleet of OJ lawyers to write that contract.

    Can't let him get away with murder twice

    Call me crazy, but I just don't think the 76ers are a potential landing spot.

    I know people are ready to hand the Lakers the title if they land Kyrie but this current Lakers squad has a very Nash-Kobe-Dwight vibe

    If the Lakers get Kyrie Irving for Russell Westbrook it will be disappointing as been pointed out. I will still watch the NBA, I am a basketball junkie, don't care if it's pro, college or high school, but not with the same enthusiasm.

    Shouldn’t be disappointing for Rocket fans. I can’t wait to see Westbrick, Simmons, and Ayton?Bridges?Herro? Fight there way into the lottery.
