Maybe the talks with Utah are to facilitate this trade:

Nets get some of Utah's good vets to keep them in contention
Utah gets picks and Russ to drive the tank
Lakers get Kyrie and become contenders

win win win

This is the only way this trade would go down in all honesty.. But at the same time Danny Ainge always seems to be the winner in these circumstances

This is such bad news for this FO... we just need a single shooter brah's someone with size

And now we're gonna be so enamored with Kyrie that we're gonna miss out on legit prospects to help this team and be SOL because we don't have assets to get Kyrie. We are now gonna end up with no one at the trade deadline, with this news I'm convinced of that

they should have enough assets. He's a headcase on an expiring contract, I don't think there are gonna be many suitors knowing he might bail in the offseason. Imo he's either traded to L.A or the Nets just hold on to him for one last playoff run. The question is whether Rob can get this done with only one pick.

This would be on brand for this front office tbh.

Kyrie with this team elevates them to straight up contender. Elite scorer/shooter and an underrated playmaker. Plus the Lakers have been his top destination all along. I don’t see why u wouldn’t get that done.

It just feels so easy for the Lakers to fukk this up and/or another team to offer better assets. I think the most likely outcome is the Nets don't make a trade, try to compete this year, then just have to let Kyrie walk. Second most likely outcome is they trade Kyrie to someone else who is no the Lakers.

If Kyrie comes over, though, Lakers are definitely a contender even with the continuing complete lack of a 3-and-D player.

don't let Russ play until the trade deadline. Don't want him to fake an injury so we can't ship him out of town

I am 100% trading both picks for Kyrie if I have too

Russ would likely get bought out or sent home in the event of any trade
