Quit trying to start stuff!!!!!

LOL.

Real genius’s up there if they finally figured that out. On the radio I’m hearing Irving is telling them to trade him to the Lakers and to do it now.

It's crazy what this sport has become when a player simply doesn't like his situation and he can say, "Ship me to this team". This is the 3rd time for Kryrie, unbelievable.

LOL.

This was the only way the Lakers were getting Kryrie from day one, if he forces his way to LA. Definitely more of a possibility now.

I really don't think the Nets want RW in return for Irving so it'd be interesting to see how the Lakers would make this work.

3rd team would have to be involved.

Yeah, it's a star driven League and they can just demand a trade.

This offseason in the NFL was pretty wild also. Never seen anything like that.

I’m tired of seeing teams get completely fd by these guys but at some point they have to wise up and make an example of someone.

Welp, it sounds like that is it for KD as well

Yeah....

Yeah that's the tricky part. The Nets are going to want some kind of return so maybe future draft picks from the Lakers or a young player. Then maybe a team would take Russ for a player/picks...I'm not how but it feels like when Kyrie is set on something, he has one option and one option only.

I'm still leaning that this ends up being much ado about nothing.

But I'm not leaning quite as far that way. lol

Imagine if the Sixers had waited (I know they couldn't).....they could have traded Simmons and that haul for KD.

KD and Embiid plus co would be the EC faves.

It’s the only option he wants because it’s the only team that even remotely wants him.

Yeah that certainly would have been a possibility, obviously more pieces with Simmons but yeah Morey wanted his guy and now he is stuck with him.

Yep and Lebron wants to win. He has won with Kyrie before and he knows his team is shit right now other than AD LOL

A lot easier to put pieces around Kyrie than Russ

 

[DJ]

Please.

Him and Irving as our new starting backcourt would be pretty damn sweet. Snipers around James that they need.

Truth bomb.

And they'd get vet minimum guys to sign. Just need to do a better job than Ariza, Bradley, Baze, and Ellington.

Bring back Melo for the bench and sign some other guys to go with THT (unless he gets dealt), Reaves, McClung, S Johnson, Gabriel.

 

[DJ]

Gonna be on pins and needles till something happens.

Karma for the Nets after taking a guy like Harden that destroys franchises.

They signed a guy that destroys franchises then traded a ton for another guy that destroys franchises. Signed another guy that is a follower and would leave if the others left. 3 great choices by Brooklyn.

It sounds like they aren't getting much for Kyrie. So they need to resign Bruce Brown and Claxton then shoot for the moon with the KD return then at least they will be serviceable after all these mistakes.

Brown, Claxton, Curry, Simmons and the KD return is at least a start. They can trade Joe Harris too. Could be much worse.
