BREAKING NEWS: The Phoenix Suns have traded for KEVIN DURANT

[No1]

lmao at these teams helping to find ‘optimal’ landing spots when their star players want out

The Nets always loved and respected KD. They also have a goodbye post to Harden even though he quit. The other guy who wanted to go to LA got sent to Texas. I’ll let you figure it out.

If the sun's don't win the title anytime soon then they never will...this might be the best team they have assembled, they have Experience and fire power

The Brooklyn superteam attempt flopped, so now it's off to Phoenix

I don’t consider that a super team. Ayton isn’t all that great and Chris is washed. It’s basically KD and Booker and some other nikkas.

Cause I don't see Claxton becoming a center in the caliber of an Embiid, Jokic, or any of the other top bigs currently playing where he can lead or be a major piece for a franchise looking towards a championship or keep them in the running.

He's a good player that thrived and looked good next to KD and Irving but with them gone now I don't see him being this guy y'all think he is.

I don't think he needs to lead anything. His improvement at least allows them to not have to worry about the center at the rate he's going. He was just on a team that was contending for a title and he was the third best player on it. Going forward, they've got 2 spots set: his and Bridges' and if they get swapped it's because they're cashing out for the next disgruntled star.

NBA fukkery

 

[Heretic]

I just read through this. nikkas was mad KD left OKC, mad he went to GS, mad he left GS, mad he went to BK saying he shoulda said fukk what I said about you should have never went to GS, mad wanted to leave BK then said nah I'll stick around then every body left, got mad he got traded to PHX. KD can't do nothing to please some of y'all. I'm glad he said fukk man, thank you guys, I'm going somewhere where I might be able to win. I'm all for the fukkery as long as we get some good basketball. I do think BK had potential to be better if Harden, KD, and Kyrie had a chance to play more than 16 games together but it was obvious early on they all realized they made a mistake going there.

To be a nets fan is to suffer, but to survive as one
Is to find meaning in the suffering

Well we'll see but I just don't think Brooklyn is looking at Claxton the same way you are and down the line I could see them moving him, besides they may find a new center through draft picks depending on how far the Nets fall in the standings these next few seasons.

He's a complimentary center, the kind that a team with championship hopes or even deep playoffs runs would add to their already stacked roster for some needed quality depth.

Massive, massive, massive pressure on Phoenix to win it all now. They are #5 in a crowded West and immediately vault to contention, they weren't far off without him...

Their depth is going to be tested...

Suns and Clips have the most pressure and somehow Phx just took pressure off Denver who has a guy about to win a third straight MVP (likely)...

 

[No1]

I’m dead ass. I think Claxton is better than Ayton. I wasn’t high on Phoenix at all before they got KD.

 

[THE 101]

All I know is ESPN better cut Scorsese the check to direct the KD/Kyrie era Nets 30 for 30.
