2022 NBA Offseason thread

LOL.

Sixers are coming with Harris Thybulle Maxey and picks. Not sure anybody else can do anything better without it becoming a place KD doesn’t want to go.

Hmmm...Suns, Heat?

 

[DJ Fieri]

I bet Simmons doesn't get dealt and they try and build around him.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I think KD said he wants out because Irving opted in.

Please stop saying this.

He wants out because Kyrie is not long for Brooklyn.

Did you not see his statement that the Nets didn't try hard enough to understand Kyrie?

 

[msgkings322]

Or maybe KD is tired of Irving's BS.

For sure could be a factor. This was what we thought would probably happen.

Ayton, Bridges and picks is better, my friend.

Stop making shit up.

This is from his own mouth.

From The Ringer’s Logan Murdock (transcript via The Post):

His biggest beef is that he feels that the front office didn’t grow to understand Kyrie, whatever that means. I would push back on that when a guy leaves for two weeks at a time … Kyrie earns the lion’s share of the blame. But I think KD believes that, hey, you guys didn’t understand this guy. You didn’t try to figure out where he was coming from.

Murdock also reported Durant is peeved the Nets got rid of staffer Adam Harrington, his former personal trainer. Durant has not spoken to the Nets in weeks, according to Murdock

 

[DJ Fieri]

Portland should be calling to team up Dame and KD.

Not sure what they could put together though.

Is this the same Bridges that just beat up his girlfriend?

He could have demanded a trade before the recent Irving situation.

Nope.

They could do it with Wiggins, Moody, Kuminga, Wiseman, and a couple firsts. Dray and KD would be fine, we tend to overdramatize player conflicts from our vantage point.

Won't happen though, and I think in the end I wouldn't want it to. I like what they are doing I want to see it play out, see if they can Spurs this and keep contending with a new wave of youngsters taking over for the big 3.

Yeah, I do like what they are doing and I want to keep the young guys. I'm so happy that they didn't give into the temptation of trading young guys for someone like Myles Turner, especially since they wound up winning the Finals anyway. I choose to believe that the Warriors have a strong bridge to the future.

No.

The one the 6ers inexplicably gave away on draft night for Zhaire Smith.

Lockdown wing in Phoenix, Mikal.

Not sure what they could put together though.

For all the talk about 'he could go anywhere' it seems like there's only a few teams that he would want to go to (contenders) that have good enough packages (Suns, Heat, Sixers) that would even want to do it (Warriors wouldn't for example)

Can you think of any other teams with the assets to make this happen?

 

[Robotech]

What if this is all just a ploy to feel wanted and to boost his ego, and then he winds up staying in Brooklyn? LOL.

I bet they can get Simmons.

I doubt he wants to play with Harden again. Harris is a bad salary and Thybulle has little to no value. Maxey is really the only valuable asset. Miami and Phoenix can both offer more imo

 

[DJ Fieri]

I bet KD isn't leaving alone. Bet a contract like Harris goes out with him.
