    Wow what a surprise this week and fairly quick trade that couldnt have gone much better for us.So satisfying! KD has to bounce cause that team is crap now.

    What risk? They traded trash for a top 15 player. Kyrie could cause drama and make Luka leave? Luka was about to leave anyway if they didn’t put a start next to him, he was putting up 50 and losing.

    Nets are going to suck now. I think Durant may ask out over next few days.

    Could you have imagined Ben Simmons and Westbrook on the same team? BRICK CITY!

    Maybe Durant will be traded for Westbrick still lol

    The pick is a swap

    Given we are tanking it's useless

    All of our swaps from the harden trade are useless

    Even if Irving leaves Mavs have a max salary slot so it's a calculated risk

    Luka and Kyrie will be the best scoring backcourt by a long shot. No defense but maybe they will put up 150 points a game

    No. The 2024 and 2026 picks are unprotected. Not sure why those arent valuable to you? In 2024 they will likely be led by Ben Simmons and Nic Claxton.

    Sorry.
    Honestly though swapping Brooklyns pick in 2025 for either our pick of the OKC pick may end up good too.

    No Kyrie, Durant turning 35 next year. Man those bkn pick is looking better and better for next year.
    It be hilarious if we get harden back too.

    Maybe rockets will follow suit and hire a former player in sam Cassell as the next head coach top ( Don't know if he is a good coach or not)

    The 2026 pick, and the 2025 & 27 swaps always figured to be the guts of the trade, golden insurance....But shorting the Nets has already yielded Tari, and next year's pick *2024 appears to have wonderful downside too. Sweet, sweet move on Stone's part that should be talked about for ages.

    We need a 2024 Brooklyn pick thread. It could be a top 10 pick if durant bails. I wonder if he will reinstate his trade request now.

    KD will be traded or injured. They're done.
