This is the last season for him here anyway.
And that's why the Nets can either get something out of it or wait for him to walk for nothing. NBA GMs tend to not let players walk for nothing.
That's literally just it.
2 picks 4 & 6 years from now isn't shyt. Lakers probably don't win even with him but they and Kyrie are the only ones that benefit in that trade. He's on a contender right now and he's blowing that up, so why does he get to be rewarded by going where he wants and being on a contender for the next 1-2 years before LA's wheels officially fall off? Math doesn't add up.
The Nets are in a terrible situation of having a rotten culture, hardly any depth, Kyrie blowing up their title ambitions for shyts and giggles, zero leadership between the big three of KDusty, Bench Simmons, and KyME, and of course, no picks to make moves with or rebuild.
To put it bluntly, the Nets are fukked. What they really gotta do is try to get a third team involved in the Kyrie trade so they can get some actual value out of this because those Lakers picks really ain't shyt, but that's a different dumpster fire.
