Lowkey, a first and a second round pick is not really taking the Mavs to the cleaners that I had in mind.

To be honest though, this I think the Nets won this trade. Kyrie won't get Luka and the Mavs to that "serious contender" level.

To me it seems like Luka wants a big market if he's not a legit contender so I don't think he sticks around much longer (depending on what his contract is).

The consensus was that no one would be willing to give up anything just two days ago :patrice: didnt hear any caveats about desperation. From a personal standpoint this was obviously a win for Kyrie.
It depends on what type of deal he gets lol. Isn't that the whole point of the request?

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
The KD Kyrie Nets even made it to the conference finals :mjlol:
