do tell.

Some refs rigged the Finals, that's what people are saying. Including a key LeBron block that was really a goaltending violation

 

[msgkings322]

LOL yeah I bet

If it's just Herro and picks Heat should do that all day.

If the Nets truly think they are title contenders then the can't trade Kyrie.

I also don't get why any team would trade assets to get Kyrie.

Agree but they would still need to trade Lowry and then work a long-term deal with Kyrie.

If they want something in return for him bc he is walking in the offseason.

Agree on your second point, seems extremely risky

I mean, he ain't lying. He's a pretty shitty teammate. Pretty much every year since he requested to be traded from Cleveland there's something constantly coming from him that's disruptive. You can put up all the stats you want on court but that kind of shit is toxic. There's a reason none of his teams have hit their ceilings.

Or they end up on Brooklyn

Yeah.

Except that any realistic landing spot would likely require a sign and trade since he wants a max deal. Not many teams that can sign Kyrie to space and I doubt that the ones that can are all that keen on bringing in someone like Kyrie.

It just seems to me that any realistic trade deal involving Kyrie will, at least on paper, make the Nets demonstrably worse. And moving Kyrie will most likely piss off KD. So then it is time to blow it all up. Starting with firing Sean Marks.

Would have to be Lowry also to match salaries.

Herro's extension kicks in next season.

Hit a pretty good ceiling with the Cavs.

The funny thing is in Kyrie's mind he's never done anything wrong.

Since leaving the Cavs what has he won, one playoff series?

If all they lose is Herro and Lowry and use that money to pay Kyrie, that's a risk they might need to take. Big talent upgrade, only the Kyrie asshole risk (admittedly a big risk) but the hope would be the Heat 'culture' and vets could keep him in line for at least long enough to win a ring.

I doubt they'd miss Lowry.

Checks every box.

Pass first pg, who can play off ball, make 3’s.

SG who can make 3’s.

Young defensive wing.

Marks is arguably one of the best GMs in the game. Dude has handled the biggest bunch of team killers ever and kept it competitive.

His biggest blunder was hiring Nash.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Poetl, Richardson, and McDermott to the Nets.....

They didn’t want Ayton, why would they want Poetl, who needs an extension?

See below...the idea is dump Lowry too, and sign Kyrie up. Banners hang forever.

The heat as been known since last season are not fans of kyrie. They are never going to give him the 4 yr max he is looking for
