By Doomsayer Go To PostWB is a massive expiring contract and the Nets are blowing it up, so this effectively acts a reset for them. Every year since WB signed that extension it was said to be "not tradeable" and yet he's been traded 3 straight years now, maybe a 4th soon.Kyrie is also a massive expiring contract and actually has some value so it doesn't make much sense unless the Lakers are giving up assets.
I don't want Kyrie at all though.
Nets have no leverage at the moment, so it makes sense to try and get more from them.
With the Lakers timeline , Kyrie is a talent that you gamble on with the because they aren't winning much without a major change.

Lakers would probably be giving up at least 2 picks in the deal.

By rodeoclown Go To PostI'd also argue that Garland is already better than Brunson. Not that I think Brunson is bad or anything, but what Garland did at age 21-22 was really impressive. Cleveland is nice if they stay healthy.Id argue that too. That's why i said it was fine that he's making almost 2x Brunson's salary...
By pkaz01 Go To PostOkogie is a good locker room dude, but he's really limited and basically a one way player. As solid as his defense is, he's a zero on offense.
Is this a good pickup? Seems good?

By pkaz01 Go To PostAll over my face if this happens.
you don't deserve this n8
By pkaz01 Go To PostSilver please.
Nets: we want a young all star and unprotected picks
Lakers: you get Westbrook and no picks because we have none
Nets: deal

They want the all star deal for Durant. Seems like they’ll do anything to see Irving gone though.
Man, I’m finding this hard :lol. Brown and Harris out the door is killing me from a favourites perspective, Durant and Irving from a talent one.
how do you do it lads ;_;

By n8 dogg Go To Postbrother was I expected to do due diligenceCould have saved you the pain🤷🏾♂️
Anyways Lakers are asking for Curry too? 😂
By blackace Go To PostCould have saved you the pain🤷🏾♂️they are asking for curry because harris has a contract that is too high for their taste, as if they werent begging everyone to take westbrook a week ago
Anyways Lakers are asking for Curry too? 😂
By n8 dogg Go To PostThey want the all star deal for Durant. Seems like they’ll do anything to see Irving gone though.True, but what’s the point of getting a good haul for KD to try and build around and then taking Westbrook? There’s gotta be a young piece that’s a borderline all-star that’s worth trading for.
By blackace Go To PostThey got picksdidn’t they give them all up for AD?
By Old King Rob Go To Postdidn’t they give them all up for AD?2 of those picks have conveyed, 1 is in 2024. 2023 is Pelicans option to swap.

I'm unsure how the swap picks works in regards to future trades but they could still trade 2025 and 2027 (can't trade consecutive first round picks). If unprotected those could be valuable because the Lakers might really suck by then.
By DiPro Go To PostLakers can just make whatever mistakes they want without suffering any big consequences.Big Rob the peanut and cofffee bringer putting in the work
By diehard Go To Post2 of those picks have conveyed, 1 is in 2024. 2023 is Pelicans option to swap.The Pels have a right to defer and the Lakers can't trade until the year after the last possible year of the deferral or the year after it is exercised, whichever comes first. So I think it is currently only the 2027 and 2029 picks right now, iirc.

Anyway fuck the buss children
By friskySHOOKface Go To PostAgreed, maybe washed life might be over 👀
We just need a vet wing and end of the bench hype man.
By reilo Go To Postdam luka already got haters worldwide lol.
Durable enough to brick the nets into the play in
How sick of little mountain they must be to even entertain this trade 😂

Only picks the Lakers can trade are 27 and 29 right? What are the chances the Lakers won't be gifted another playoff team by then? Wouldn't be worth it to me.
lol dirk has always been great
By Kabro Go To Postjesus
As much as I'm loathe to admit it, Ben Simmons on the Blazers makes a lot of sense and you might be able to get him for pennies on the dollar right now.
What’s very annoying about this scenario with KD and Kyrie is the Nets have a really good team on paper.
Irving / Mills / Duke
Harris / Curry / Thomas
O’Neale / Edwards
Durant
Simmons / Claxton / Sharpe
That’s without replacing LMA, Griffin, Brown, Dragic, Drummond…
KD is gonna go to a team and gut it of most the good players

I remember this phase of the Westbrook acceptance lll
By unknown Go To Postdam luka already got haters worldwide lol.you do know luka played in europe before the nba right? lol.
By reilo Go To PostA protected first round pick or Nassir Little but not both
Yep! I'm thinking Bledsoe, Josh Hart and 2025 lottery protected. If they say no, get yourself a Rudy Gay or similar for a bag of chips
