I don't wanna hear anyone talking ish about this move after the majority of the board agreed that he should have stayed in GSW after the experiment that was Brooklyn (I still don't see how this imploded so fast).

I might be in the minority but I honestly believe they should have moved CP3. A great facilitator yes but way past his prime and usually shuts down in the playoffs (mostly due to injuries unlike Harden who just gives up). I also feel like he would have been a great mentor for the young core in Brooklyn until he retires.

I would have kept Bridges

This phrase is overused but the Nets are a horribly run organization. They acquired stars by accident, mostly because of the fact that Kyrie grew up a fan of the team and was from the NJ Nets area, and then he brought his friends. They had no team culture really to speak of prior to acquiring him, just a young upstart team trying to figure it out. They then decided to act like they had a team culture when they got the star players and stand on morals they never had to uphold their nonexistent reputation in the league. Then let the media decide how they should respond to the non-basketball related opinions of the players, which forced them out.

Now back to square one. Their owner literally said he'd rather be a 40 win team than win a championship if it meant he did it the "right way", type of shyt is that :childplease:

Whole organizations time in BK has been goofy:

- Prokorov promising a chip in 5 years
- Jay with “I can park in my own arena” babble
- using Jay to finesse the community into “allowing” the arena to be built
- Garnett/Pierce
- hiring Nash who was a fake ass Kerr
- Harden trade
- KD, Kyrie, harden playing together like -7 games
- adios Harden
- Simmons being an instant liability
- adios Nash
- adios kyrie
- adios KD
- adios to this season

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. :russ: 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.
They just don't want to see dude win, literally. Zero complaints when other superstars try to trade themselves or others to stack the deck.

Well CP3 shut down because the past few seasons since he's been in Phoenix, he's been looked at for the most part the second option on offense after Booker, some may say Ayton but Paul was the second option offensively and at his age possibly has taken a toll on him at times and but now with KD and Booker being the offensive juggernauts that they are it actually makes life a little easier for Chris and I believe benefits him come playoff time.

He could still give you 20 (maybe even more) points and 10+ assists every now and then so yeah he ain't in his prime but he shouldn't be disregarded as shyt in the toilet either lol he still can have big games.
