Don't know if this is legit, but we're playing a long-term game for a developmental rebuild, and we'd have to give up significant young pieces especially if we draft a star this year. Haven't read the whole thread but not really interested at the moment based on Kyrie's history as the best player on a team.
Nobody's gonna give up prime assets for Kyrie freaking Irving lmao. In fact if the Rox take back Irving I expect even more assets coming our way since we're taking a headcase off their hands. Irving also wouldn't wanna come to Houston, if he goes anywhere it's to join the circus in LAL.
Yeah lol, posturing of GMs for trades and wishful thinking aside, l doubt he's just getting handed over without something of value in return for Brooklyn honestly. But I agree that would be great if he finds another destination or that scenario.
Dude, have you not heard opposing broadcast crews laughing at who they have had on the floor .... If they were playing to win games Nix would not be playing and Sengun would average 40 minutes a night.
Grand comedy would be: 1. Kyrie not being traded and pouting the rest of this season (no asset return to Nets). 2. We get lucky and get pick 1 3. Kyrie signing in HOU for the max (and actually getting along with Tilly, playing amazing basketball) - being mostly sane 4. Durant quitting and BKN falling completely to pieces 5. BKN finishes 2024 in the lotto, and the balls fall to pick 1 (thanks!!) We get their insane star who becomes sane, and all dem picks! Ok. It only works in fantasy land. But it would still be funny
The best would be: 4a. Durant asked to be traded to us: New roster lineup: PG - Irving SG - Green SF - Durant PF - Jabari C - Wemby We then win the NBA title against the Celtics in 5 games.
