Dolfan in NYC Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 To be totally fair, it's remarkable that the Nets lasted THIS long without coming out and saying what everyone already knew: Yes, Kyrie's behavior was unacceptable. The fallout from this is going to be hilarious. 1
Kuetsar Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 What reasonable franchise(and I realize that's a loaded term) would give a big $$$ long term contract to that headcase?

Maybe a team that's desperate to get into the playoffs or take a leap past first round fodder could talk themselves into his talent and their culture and blah blah blah. I think it would be a mistake, but I can see it happening. On the other hand, if Kyrie is the price to keep KD, that changes the math. And there's still the theoretical potential in a Curry/Irving/Harris/Simmons/KD lineup. 1
Tabe Posted May 26, 2022 Posted May 26, 2022 Who could have ever guessed that bringing in Durant, Harden, and Kyrie would not go well? I hope the Nets tell Kyrie to go away and then tell Durant to get bent if he's upset about it. And then trade Durant back to Golden State or something. 1
Zimbra Posted May 26, 2022 Posted May 26, 2022 If I were betting I'd say Kyrie will still get something close to max money (or something with a lower base but incentives for games played) but only on a 1-2 year deal.
RIPPA Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 I am sure we will all believe it when we see it but Zion has been cleared to return to workouts with no restrictions
Zimbra Posted May 28, 2022 Posted May 28, 2022 Darvin Ham has accepted the Lakers' coaching job. I thought for sure it would end up being Stotts. I hate for Milwaukee to lose him, and this doesn't seem like a great situation for a first-time head coach, but I'm happy for him to get the opportunity.
RIPPA Posted June 1, 2022 Posted June 1, 2022 The Nets have officially deferred the #1 pick they got from the Sixers until 2023
Dolfan in NYC Posted June 2, 2022 Posted June 2, 2022 According to Forbes, Lebron James is officially the first active NBA player to become a billionaire.
Zimbra Posted June 2, 2022 Posted June 2, 2022 A group headed by Nike CEO Phil Knight and the co-owner of the Dodgers has made a $2 billion offer to buy the Blazers.
Dolfan in NYC Posted June 2, 2022 Posted June 2, 2022 Oh, also been reported that there may be an announcement this summer about EXPANSION~ The new franchises would supposedly go to Las Vegas and Seattle. (This would also probably cause realignment, sending Memphis and/or NO to the East)

RIPPA Posted June 2, 2022 Posted June 2, 2022 I think @Dolfan in NYC is just recirculating an older story https://www.onlinegambling.com/news/nba-expansion-teams-seattle-las-vegas-simmons/ That link is from the beginning of March when Bill Simmons claimed on his podcast that Seattle and Vegas were getting the teams. Only difference is back then it was "all signs to point to Minnesota moving" 1

RIPPA Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 And right on queue https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/34043904/donovan-mitchell-surprised-disappointed-sources-say-quin-snyder-leaves-utah-jazz Quote Amid the reverberations of Quin Snyder's departure after eight seasons as the Utah Jazz coach, All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell is described as "unsettled, unnerved and wondering what it means for the franchise's future," sources told ESPN on Sunday.
Zimbra Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 Unless you can somehow get an upgrade on Mitchell (and I'm not sure they really have a path to that) there's probably not much point in keeping Gobert around either.
