If I'm the Nets I'm interested in Knicks cause they actually have good players to send back in Randle and Barrett
Lakers only if they send back AD
Mavs package that includes Brunson
Heat have trash to send back unless they include Bam (which they wouldn't)


Draft picks ain't it for the Nets cause none of these are high lottery teams and they don't have their own picks till like 2028 or some shyt

And idiots in this thread think the Nets are going to trade him for trash are out of their mind. They legit have every bit of leverage cause none of these teams can even sign him outright and no he's not taking some bullshyt exemption

The nets have no leverage. Either get something in a sign and trade or he opts in and makes your life miserable all year.

I mentioned that earlier, that 250/30+ per year is way too much money to turn down, and I know I wouldn't turn down generational wealth like that.

However, Kyrie turned down a bag this year to stand on his no-vaxx principle, so it's not exactly unheard of for him.

Also, opting out when he knows the Lakers have interest in him means the Lakers can offer him 30 million or more a year if they're able to move Westbrook, which they would be able to under the scenario I mentioned earlier (Westbrook and the pick to Charlotte). This means the Lakers have to most likely part with that 2027 pick, which I would do if I'm Pelinka because this would immediately make the Lakers a title contender for the next few years, and that pick is currently for a child that won't materialize for 5 years from now.

It's a tight window, but there is a window.
Not only the 2027 pick. I would move other tradeable pick for him as well. When you have 2 top 15 players on your roster and have a chance to add another one you do it.

AD/Bron/Kyrie is a title contender if healthy. They fit perfectly together.

Clippers know how to make moves - and can really make this happen. They'll do sumn like tryin flip Morris and Kennard into draft picks, send Norm, the young prospect BJ Boston, plus their 2027 pick. Sumn like that
Gotta keep Brandon Boston. Take Norm, Morris, Kennard, Reggie, 2027 pick or something to that effect. Can't deal with another SGA situation.
