Brooklyn Nets

[Shanemansj13]

The real interesting piece in this is that Brooklyn could get stuck if DLo signs an offer sheet early in free agency.

They could be forced to make their decision on him before all the cards have been played.

I did hear DLo say that he will be patient this offseason, which is interesting, bc that sounds like he knows Kyrie is coming to Brooklyn and then Brooklyn if they strike out with others with sign him...idk

 

[Shanemansj13]

man......

I was surprised that:

1. Brooklyn had to give up 2 first rounders

and

2. That Cleveland was not in with the JR contract.....


Makes me think that Cleveland has other plans for the K.

Well it would be better getting that 13th pick lol I'm not sure what the Cavs would have take back from Miami for that pick but I'm sure that pick is available for the right move. They would have 5, 13 and 26. Not bad

Gotta think the cards will be on the table long before he can sign an offer sheet though no? Can't imagine Kyrie or KD are going to take 2-3 weeks in free agency figuring their shit out.

Kyrie will probably sign the first day of FA and KD I would think would make his mind up in the first couple days or first week most likely. DLo said he is going to be patient this offseason so all that makes sense.

I don't think a Kyrie/D Lo backcourt works imo.

I'd like to be wrong though

I think the Nets are on the verge of some good things, don't know if I'd be going after Irving if I was them.

If Kyrie and D-Lo end up playing together...

What's the over/under on number of games before they get into a fight mid-game?

One thing D-Lo has never lacked is confidence in himself. After the season he had last year, he's not likely to let Kyrie come in and just take over.

That is a match made in hell. Either bring back DLo or sign Kyrie

 

[jontaejones]

With the moves they made today, it feels like they know something we don't.

These moves indicate that they expect to land 2 big fish

Because this strategy has worked so well for them in the past...

I just can't see how they lose this summer. Even if they miss out on Kyrie and/or KD.

There's another good free agents they can go after such as Tobias Harris

I wouldnt mind Klay Thompson. I think he's a great player.

He is a west coast boy. I can't see him ever playing on the East coast unless it is via trade

Irving wont mesh with D'Angelo.

Not at all. I will be disappointed in Marks if he brings Kyrie to Brooklyn and resign D-Lo.

Got to be one or the other IMO

Marks is too smart for that

I think he is staying in GS no matter what

Oh I'm aware he's not coming.

I'm just saying that's who I would want.

No doubt, Klay is a beast and he steps up in big games. Cant create his shots as much as other guys but in the right system he is deadly. I think next to Lebron or Kawhi he would be incredible

 

[shopson67]

I wonder if it is possible for them to sign KD, Harris (not for max money), and resign D-lo

Do you think Harris will sign for $14M or less?

Two shoot first PGs that are allergic defense. Works pretty well for the opposing team IMO...
