DJ was talking about trading Russ for Kyrie.
Nets would have to be incredibly stupid.
I know they are sick of Kyrie’s antics, and rightly so.
But for heaven sakes. You have all the pieces you need to win a title. Just wait a year. You aren’t getting more than scraps for Kyrie in trade anyway. Trading him now is a terrible idea.
Get him to opt in and give it 1 year with Kyrie, KD and Simmons.
If it doesn’t work?
Let him walk, trade KD and move on.
But don’t blow it up now before you really give it a chance to work.
Yes, I realize it is Kyrie’s fault it hasn’t had a chance to work.
I tend to agree and I agree with @Mecca that they will likely get things worked out...but just the fact that it has gotten this far would seem to indicate that something is not right in that organization.
Also to be considered is...are the vaccine mandates still in place in NJ/NY? Because if they are, they're looking at another season of Kyrie playing in less than half of their games.
