Anyone counting on veteran Kyrie to buy into something enough to help them win a title needs a history lesson

Good point, I retract my comment.

Looks like Pelinka will have his work cut out for him and hope for a miracle

But, there is another route….

3 team trade, 4 team trade….

You just need to reroute Westbrook someplace that will give the Nets an asset that they want.

That means giving up both picks.

Just an example….

Send Westbrook and picks to a team that has something Toronto would want, send Vanfleet to the Nets, send Kyrie to the Lakers.

You might be able to sell KD on that.

You aren’t selling him on Westbrook.

The nets....

lol

The Nets and KD for starters.

 

[tlance]

Oh I completely agree. The Lakers don't have jack to offer. Even those 2 firsts aren't super desirable.

But, and again this is a big BUT, if Kyrie refuses to go anywhere else and refuses to play for the rest of the season.

5 cents on the dollar is a terrible deal, but not if you can't spend or touch that dollar.

Both firsts unprotected would be the minimum needed to start a conversation around Russ for Kyrie.

Anything less and they might as well call the bluff and let him walk. Try to win this season.

Even then, 2 firsts not enough IMO.

I would like the Clippers to go for FVV, Conley, Kyrie in that order.

My reasoning is pretty simple.

If the Clippers don’t win this year, they are going to blow this shit up in the Summer anyway.

There is ZERO chance this team survives another playoff implosion.

They need to contact me because I have sweet deal on a bridge I can sell them for a relatively cheap price.

Man, I’m bummed as Fuck if I wake up one day and I go from Kyrie to FVV.

Let me guess, you’re also a Nigerian Prince?

Let me get you my debit card number.

I’ve got a guy who can make your money grow 50 fold! I’m gonna give Bernie your number. Madoff is amazing! Highly recommend.

Think I'd rather the Lakers got Van Vleet.

He's not as talented as Kyrie, but he's a helluva lot more stable.

FVV is like a meal from Ruths Chis compared to Westbrook’s Little Ceasers pizza.

Amen

He would still give you what you needed.

 

[trojanfan12]

FVV is like a meal from Ruths Chis compared to Westbrook’s Little Ceasers pizza.

And Westbrook is priced like a Ruths Chris meal.

Seriously, if I’m paying that much for a steak that’s basically cooked in butter, can a sista get a side?

A la carte is some bullshit…lol

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Just read a straight Kyrie for Westbrook swap would technically work (because of the Kyrie trade bonus)....


but it would cost the Nets an additional $56m towards the luxury tax



COME ON SEAN MARKS!!! DO IT!!!!!

You should probably start requesting a clean STD test before turning your tricks my guy.

With inflation, and the amount being charged these days he can afford the test!
