if I am the Nets I:
1) Tell Kyrie to suck a dikk and hold him hostage, letting his contract expire to redeem cap space. As a result
- He doesnt get to go to a contender and compete this year
- Doesn't get to sign a max extension / deal at the end of the season
- Has a limited # of teams he can actually go to without doing a sign and trade - thereby hurting those teams' prospects in the process
2) Nobly, trade Durant to a team (maybe GS, PHI, MIA, PHX pick up that phone) for expiring contracts, young pieces and picks
3) Start fresh and try to build a team from the ground up
4) Consider hiring a new GM to lead this project
Its time Brooklyn stops kicking the can down the road. It's been a failure. Accept it and rebuild.
