KD is too good of a player to be remembered as someone who played for potentially 5 or 6 teams assuming he leaves BK, go to another team only to leave there after 3 or 4 years.

Shame.
Pat will retire his jersey. He'll be remembered fondly with a winning franchise. Don't worry about that :mjgrin:

That “company man only play for one team” narrative is geriatric/antiquated fan fiction …this is 2022 nikkas is off that being the singular objective

Lakers get KD, KyME and Joe Harris

Brooklyn gets AD, picks and cap space

Third team takes Russ, THT and picks

It's complicated and insanely unlikely though, especially with the salary rules. I don't think a team like OKC or Orlando can just absorb Westbrick's deal.

Bruh …… fukk if kd joins the suns or more importantly if he joins the heat butler and kd would be deadly and kd already showed he could get far with strong willed players like butler (draymond and a younger Westbrook) sure it didn’t last forever but he got two rings for gsw and got Westbrook closer with him than any other player

Kd to heat will be a fukking problem

Y'all nikkas not understanding that Kyrie has VASTLY more leverage than KD right now. He's on a 1 year rental, and someone in his camp is already leaking info to SAS to scream on TV that he's going to the Lakers either this year or next... So any picks you trade for him will be a waste.

Kyrie is angling to have his trade value for any other team extremely low
Disagree, Kyrie got no leverage precisely because he got no market. He a sunk cost at this point, wouldn't be surprised if the Nets just said fukk him, let him sit out. I doubt they do him any favors. Any trade to LA gotta involve Russ, but Russ making $47 mil plus a $4 mil trade kicker versus $37 mil for Kyrie so what's the Lakers throwing in that make that make sense for the Nets?

KD has one of the worst competitives spirits I’ve ever seen in a superstar athlete.

Ya'll just be wanting dudes ya'll don't root for to be in a less than optimal situations to fit your agenda.

He went there with all the best intentions, it didn't work out. Why stay in hopes that maybe Kyrie and Ben Simmons stop being crazy?

Yep. The Blazers have young players and some picks available.
Pelicans have Ingram and a bunch of Bucks/Lakers/their own 1st rd picks to make a deal straight up. If I were the Nets, that would be the most attractive and realistic trade.
Timberwolves and Raptors also have some nice players/assets.
