Aint no way getting rid of some nutty nikka like Kyrie is a loss.

They need to get what they can for Simmons and then get that motherlode for KD and just start over.

It is. Nets were a championship contender. Now they have a core of a 6’10 cowardly Lion and an aging malcontent, both who are injury prone. Dallas has no depth. Shallow af in the front court, which was always an issue but even more glaring now. Plus gotta worry about how Luka and Kyrie co exist. Kyrie not signing no extension in red state Texas either. I can’t wait to see the reaction the minute he posts how to eat to live on IG

Rise up!
Lateral move for the Mavs. Kyrie is not a championship level player and him & Luka both need the ball to be productive.

shyt scripted to a degree, has to be. I dont know about Lakers but out of all the places, who would guess Dallas? although I think Kyrie probably wanted to go there for a number of reasons...mainly taxes.

Kyrie must be kinda broke and worried about his future long term

Cuban probably dropped the bag and said let’s just get a championship :takedat:

Also Durant probably was like :whoa:to a Westbrook trade

I love when a trade happens & half the justification of it not being that bad is cap space that doesn't even really exist unless that team just straight up loses 2/3 of their team for nothing in return :pachaha:


Kyrie just walking doesn't just magically open up a max slot for the Mavs

Naw , not with lonzo going down and them just handing an extension to the coach. Not to mention they been winning more lately.

Plus if they did flip lavine, they holding out for a ton more than that weak ass Westbrook and 2 picks deal.

Those 2 picks aren't just any picks given the circumstances (Bron age, AD health). There's a strong chance they will be top lottery picks. Just like in 2013 when two future picks from the Pierce-KG-Deron Williams Brooklyn Nets were way more valuable.

this doesn’t put the mavs in championship conversation…but it’s enough of an upgrade to show luka/fans they tried

as for the nets this is a big step back unless we do something else but I don’t what else can be done smh
