    I would've liked to acquire our cornerstone piece instead of drafting him but unprotected FRP's as well as pick swaps could turn out to be a solid deal in the long run

    BK can provide the plethora of picks even if some of them will be mediocre, but where’s the young player with potential as well?

    If Kyrie is involved, I wonder which team would give up a nice young player to deal with him and his antics?

    let’s hope this thing is done by the end of the day

    Unprotected 1sts far out in the future from a team who has a short championship window is a damn fine starting point. If we get every pick from Brooklyn and swaps unprotected, we are in a good spot moving forward.

    Ben Simmons please! ... All the Nets picks are worthless if they end up being like the 20+ selections.. pick swaps are worthless if they're in the 20's and Rockets in the lotto. Otherwise pick swaps need to start in 2025 or something.

    Nets sent a message with that offer. Probably trying to force thybull simmons and firsts out of philly but i think he ends up with the nets now

    Here is my crazy attempt. Add a bunch of unprotected picks to the Rockets from both Miami and Brooklyn as well.

    Only 2 of the 7 will likely be worthless the last 3 years worth of picks would be incredible

    Picks have a chance to be worth something. Not sure Ben Simmon's does.

    The BKN picks aren't going to be 20+.
    KD and Harden are over 30 and Kyrie is crazy.
    Only 1 or 2 will be 20+.

    Lowball Ainge? He's going to say "Look, I can give you Kemba and 2 Top 28 protected firsts... maybe Tacko too"

    If he offers Brown straight up, it'll trounce any offer any other team can make, regardless of picks.

    Harden and KD can play another 4-5 years easily and be elite. Their games don’t depend on athletic ability. If they re up in Brooklyn those picks will most likely be awful. I want players now too.

    Stone has proven he is a moron when it comes to these pick trades. Brooklyn is probably having these picks top 25 protected.

    He won’t if he actually wants him. Just because he makes an offer doesn’t mean you have to take it.
