By masud Go To PostFor sure but we have to remember that up until very recently unprotected future firsts were off the table for the most part (ironically because of the Knicks). Minny changed the game…Until the Jazz demanded them for a star and that seems to be their price
By reilo Go To PostEJ?E J Liddell
By blackace Go To PostE J LiddellYup. Rookie this year who was projected to go in the first round by like everybody, but fell to pick ~41. Didn't have a contract, yet, because the Pels already had 15 guaranteed contracts on the roster. :(
Randle
Fournier
Quickly
Grimes
Picks
That’s enough for Donovan and Mike Conley because you get rid of Conley’s awful contract
It’s time for Donovan to go home

Randle and his 15% trade kicker? nah
Just be patient and trade with a team at the deadline when they realize whatever moves they made in the offseason didn't fix their problem.

By diehard Go To Postcouldn't be lucky enough to get unprotected Knicks picksyou got bunch for a center with zero offensive game from any era of basketball.

So the knicks?
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostSo the knicks?i wasn't going to say it
So they are saying Ayton is going to sign a near max with Indy. They basically gotta trade Turner if the Suns don't and if they do match, they still basically have to trade him.
Rick and Ayton is going to be... interesting

Donovan and Brunson in the back court will not work defensively, like at all. And I doubt Leon will be trading his godson anytime soon so if they do trade for him they're gonna try and make it work. Unless it's for a steal I'm good on Donovan, he can stay his ass in Utah.
I dont know why we're so desperate to put Donovan on a worse team that the one he's failed to win with for years. I'll wait a few months for the next disgruntled star.

By Sho_Nuff82 Go To PostFunny how nobody ever says we don't like teams trading players...
Silver has seen enough, next cba shutting all this down.
By Sho_Nuff82 Go To PostI would love to see it

Ben and Kyrie fucked up the game.
By blackace Go To PostSo they are saying Ayton is going to sign a near max with Indy. They basically gotta trade Turner if the Suns don't and if they do match, they still basically have to trade him.Wouldn't be surprised at 4 or 5 team deal with BKN, PHX, UT, IND, and maybe TOR
Rick and Ayton is going to be… interesting
By pkaz01 Go To PostWouldn't be surprised at 4 or 5 team deal with BKN, PHX, UT, IND, and maybe TORMaybe, but they have enough room to sign him straight up and then trade for a different player they need. I mean unless Turner isn't involved in that deal.
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostBen and Kyrie fucked up the game.
1. Ben
2a. Harden
2b. Kyrie
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostRC Buford fucked up the game.
fixed
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostBen and Kyrie fucked up the game.If only players were loyal like AD, Kawhi, or PG-13...
PG-13 demanded a trade after Kawhi cold-called him😂
So weird how demanding a trade is bad but a billionaire organisation trading you from New York to bumfuck Oklahoma without consent is acceptable
By n8 dogg Go To PostSo weird how demanding a trade is bad but a billionaire organisation trading you from New York to bumfuck Oklahoma without consent is acceptableRight?
I get it, it sucks if your FO is so fucked up that it made your star regret signing but you kinda have to accept that most it's the organization that blew it.
Utah is about to trade both stars within two weeks and blow it up. Probably get props for it too... but that's somehow different than a player asking to move 🤷🏾♂️
I'm all on the fuck the owners train, but with Ben sitting out a whole season and demanding a trade because he got boo'd, KD and Kyrie completely fucking up the Nets because they wanted to be LeBron. Then deciding they don't want to be there anymore because the Nets didn't want to give a guaranteed max contract to someone who only plays 60 games a season. I think we all knew this issue was going to be brought up.
However, that is the fault of the Nets because they should have been aware of what they were getting themselves into. Since when have wealthy privileged people ever taken responsibility for anything though?

Pretty much everyone is to blame in the Nets’ situation. Tsai, Marks, Durant, Harden, Irving, Simmons, the state of New York… burn it all to the ground.

Kyrie and KD are bums and everything but highly skilled bums that the Nets were happy to pay for. Kyries believes he is worth a longer term max and didn't get it so asked to be moved. KD doesn't like how the made their moves long term so asked to be traded.
Also Nash seemed to have lost the team, even now in SL
dudes are shitting on Nash. I mean his one job was connecting with players and managing egos, something he has failed horribly to do.
Nets can of course say fuck you we aren't trading you and that's what the contract does for them so there is that.
By n8 dogg Go To PostShould have added Nash to my list above too. Probably weakest coach in the league.Dude trash and cats in SL hate him. I don't know what he did but it isn't a good look
I’d blame everything on Ben more than Kyrie
Not like Kyrie was the only unvaccinated player in the league
Ben is just soft to the max and he still got paid for being a coward
He’s not playing opening night /week unless KD and Kyrie are there

How you gonna blame Ben when he's only there because Harden asked out because of Kyrie.
Kyrie was the catalyst to all of that. Ben is just a Kyrie symptom.

They get a better return and I doubt shit hits the fan like this

For sure but to say this outcome is Ben's fault is so fucking off.
It's Kyrie. It's always been Kyrie. EVERYWHERE he's went.
Only reason Cavs survived his exodus is because prime Lebron in the East was EZ mode.

Ben has burned more bridges than Kyrie in half the time lol
I don’t think it’s on Ben. This all comes from Kyrie being Kyrie, Harden thinking ‘this dude is fucked’ and leaving, and Marks and Tsai also questioning his commitment while KD rides with his dog til the end.
Harden has left like a douche in the past. Nothing new there. His contract was a question mark for Brooklyn last year too
If there's more in Brooklyn than just Kyrie and KD, then business continues
By reilo Go To PostBen wanted to be in SacramentoBen wanted to be protected to the point he caused an entire FO overhaul lol
If there's more in Brooklyn than just Kyrie and KD, then business continues
By reilo Go To PostI don't even know how this entire shitshow doesn't start with Kyrie at the center of it all.If they're not the only team swept in the entire playoffs then they're probably way more content
Its still wild how Kyrie got to hold the entirety of the non vax smoke while other players *and the league itself* got off for worse....
What if like, Kyrie hadn't been on his bullshit and played some more games that got them a higher seed and they faced an easier opponent in the first round rather than a team that was 2 games away from the chip?
He only even got to play during the playoffs because Mayor Adams is on his own bullshit.
