Kyrie has the biggest impact if he goes to the Mavs and with everything equal Mavs go to the Finals next year if that happens...No stars get injured and Kyrie mental hangs on till end of season

Mavs will probably wait to see if KD becomes available.

Woj and Shams have pretty much been reporting the same stuff. Shams is signed to Klutch and that’s how he gets his info and Woj is usually anti Lakers because they don’t give him any leaks.
Just stop. Sham been killing it long before he signed with klutch.

If I'm the nets, I am NOT trading him to the clippers or lakers, since they have nothing of value they are willing to offer. and both teams have no picks to offer either.

If I'm the nets, I'd try to move him to dallas for someone like jaylen brunson and picks. I am not sure what other assets dallas would be willing to send back.

none…kyrie’s plan from the rumors being spread is to do a sign and trade that will entitle him to a max when this upcoming season is up…but I can’t see too many franchises if any prepared to give him what he wants…not even a lesser team is going to commit to maxing him…if it was just based on talent it’d be a different story but we all know that’s not the case…he made his bed…this is what comes with it…he wants to have his cake and eat it too and that’s fine but it’s just not going to happen…the nets are his “best” option to get what he wants (assuming they’re bluffing and will give in to him) and apparently a very desperate laker team is in the mix too…not too many owners if any are looking to max a player like him…fukk how ppl feel about it…it’s just simply the truth of the matter

dude sat out half a season…came back full-time for the playoffs where he was barely a factor possibly bcuz he was fatigued from fasting and now want to make demands…foh lmao…I would love to see the team that gives him $245M…watch it be the nets :francis: I really hope they hold strong on this…he needs to be gone from the team…fukk it…if the lakers are truly that desperate hopefully they put together a decent package

so if the nets aren't gonna be able to receive significant assets for dude, then why the hell would they even consider helping kyrie get yet another max contract via sign and trade?

Let him walk. Why make it easy for him? That's my problem with the nba. Teams always helping these clowns
Losing him for nothing is worse than swallowing your pride and getting some assets in return.

Warriors just displayed a perfect example of this ultimately flipping KDs exit into Weedplate and Kuminga.

who said any of this is the case definitively?

my contention is I don’t think anyone is seriously looking to trade for him if he’s ultimately looking for a max…nets aren’t helping him do anything…the decision to opt-in is strictly on kyrie…if he does that and demands a trade the nets will do so if they get what they’re looking for I imagine

It's even more hilarious that the counterargument is "KD WILL DEMAND A TRADE" and I would be ok with that option too if I owned the Nets. They gave KD and Kyrie anything and everything they wanted, and the instant they push back a little bit to protect themselves, after Kyrie ghosted whenever he wanted, they both wanna demand trades?! He gave those two all of that power, traded away tons of assets for Harden, traded him away when he quit for another bum, and the ROI was barely getting into the playoffs and a first round exit. My team would be Ben Simmons not shooting ass passing to a bunch of 3 point shooters next year.

Durant bish azz is under contract for multiple yrs. His azz would either play for me or sit out with no pay. I wouldn't even consider trading that hoe.
