I swear to God if the Rockets are interested in this man, I will lose the little faith I have left in our ownership. He literally would offer nothing to us besides a few more ticket sales for one season before he jets away, leaving burning napalm in his wake.
Seems super weird to request it this late. I'm not mad because of the picks tied to them, but damn it's crazy that Harden gets more hate on him than Kyrie who has always been a POS. Makes zero sense.
Wonder if Toronto takes advantage and snags Durant. If so, we really could be opportunistic as a third team and use the Nets 2024 pick as a way to get a really good player from Toronto to help our team grow.
Irving, Curry to LA for Russ, 27 and 29 1sts and 28 swap. Durant to GSW for Wiggins, Kuminga, Wiseman, 26 and 28 1sts .
It's better for the Rockets and their picks from the Nets if they don't trade Kyrie. We want to see Brooklyn lose him for nothing with no returning assets.
Just when you start to get down on our Rockets rebuild, you're reminded we hold the picks to a team lead by the two most unpredictable stars in the history of the nba. I love it. Oh, you know LeGM is all over this. Kyrie is good but Wiggins is a perfect fit for the Warriors. I don't think they do that deal even if it was straight up with just those 2 guys. If I'm the Nets I just do the deal with the Lakers but I make them eat Ben Simmons' salary. Lakers get: Kyrie Irving Ben Simmons 2027 1st rd pick 2029 1st rd pick Nets get: Russell Westbrook Patrick Beverley
If you rewind back to July, the Nets couldn't get a large enough offer for Durant. Once Irving leaves (for what I think will be peanuts since he's unrestricted in the offseason), the Nets will get even more lowball offers on Durant. And with little to any draft picks in the future, we can the Nets to the bottom tier of the league. They took the risk of trying to build a superteam with volatile personalities and lost big.
