Jacques Vaughn is the guy officially in Brooklyn

Rumors that Pelinka is willing to listen to possible deals for AD. Per Bill Simmons.

Not sure how true it is.

The "per Bill Simmons" should be a key indicator, lol

 

[shopson67]

Kawhi is clearly better. Tatum is on his way.

Do you understand what GOAT signifies?

I guess I missed I missed it when Simmons lost his credibility.

2 way dominant wing like kawhi has been

And Tatum is coming into his own to be

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

Nets hiring Jaque Vaughn instead of udoka tells me they don't think they are legit title contenders. Adam silver talked them out of it I guess, have fun getting eliminated in the 1st round if you're lucky.

Nope, not the definition

KD on record saying they don’t need a coach anyway so I guess it doesn’t matter.

His credibility as a Celtics homer puts his Laker takes into question, at least for me.

Kinda silly from all angles, but from a Lakers angle it looks pretty OK if only for Durant. Although, who needs Simmons AND Dray?

Warriors get AD and shed the kids/Dray. Nets get shafted for Durant. They're GIVING a 2023 pick in this scenario? Can't see that with the strong possibility of the lottery.

It's an acronym, if that helps....

Pretty ok with LA? Lol

I guess the thought is to get Durant AND shed the Westbrook contract they had to take on potentially 2 bad contracts? I'm sure Durant would be thrilled when he learned Simmons was going with him in the deal (doesn't seem to be a fan)

Giving a pick but getting back 2. also shedding the Simmons deal and getting a few kids who could be productive.

At least those are my thoughts on it.

 

[dtgold88]

Jesus Christ.

Kind of my first thought and, sure, a deal with that many stars or former stars moving not something I'd expect to actually happen.....but just looking at what each team gets/gives up? Looks better than some other rumors I've seen.

I was surprised that the salaries worked.

Still, if the Nets are going to give up Durant, I can't see them also giving away their Vic raffle ticket.

Clearly would have to be a heavily protected pick.

But you are correct.

Don’t see them wanting to do a deal like this.

Also, can they even trade their pick this year? They have a lot in the Harden deal.

I think it's funny what the Nets wanted from Boston for KD. Brown, Smart, one rotation player + multiple picks. Someone in the Nets organization was high on bath salts when they thought of that stupid trade.
