BREAKING: The Brooklyn Nets are trading Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith and picks

[Left.A1]

Unless it’s unprotected draft picks from the lakers they’re getting nothing anyways. Lakers have nothing to offer

Draft picks are not “nothing” him walking out the door with 0 compensation is nothing

What do the lakers have to offer beyond unprotected picks? They literally have nothing

 

[FAH1223]

Nah there is no predecent for an all-nba level player taking anything less than the max. Good on kyrie for holding his ground.

More than the nets will have for letting him walk for nothing

 

[Ohene]

More than they would for letting him walk for absolutely nothing

addition by subtraction

 

[AJtheOne]

Skip speaking the truth

Hopefully he stays with the Nets. Lakers should have pulled the trigger on Hield and Turner months ago. Last thing they need is another controversial star player coming in with the fukkery.

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

I'm petty. Last thing I'm doing is trading him where he wants to go

 

[Gotright]

Same nikkas saying to trade Kyrie ... prolly said to trade Harden for Ben Simmons and Steph Curry
How did that turn out? Now they got devalued Ben Simmons on an expensive 3 year deal, playing the worst basketball of career

you have to know when to take the L and start fresh

I don’t remember many saying trade harden for Ben. That was a stupid trade before it happened and even more so now

 

[iamduval]

They’re not gonna trade him

 

[<<TheStandard>>]

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.

I believe they're not hard capped even if Kyrie leaves.....they have to trade him

 

[Guile]

they can just let him walk

or do a Spurs trade him anywhere but where he want

Any GM who thinks like this should be fired. Literally, hurting your team to be petty.

 

[Jplaya2023]

Kyrie gonna go to the Heat

Is Pat coaching the team again?

addition by subtraction

You’d be doing “addition by subtracting” him in a trade as well so what are you saying

This is a bit different though as I think people are basically saying move him for expiring contracts and picks not mentally broken players on long term deals lol.
