Brian Fowler Posted June 30, 2022 Author Posted June 30, 2022 You basically ask for the best young player on the team plus every pick and swap they can send for KD, right? And that best young player better be a really damn good young player
Tarheel Moneghetti Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Lol, even KD has has enough of Kyrie's bullshit. Someone asked me at lunch what I thought the Lakers should do with Westbrook. I dunno. How many mad scientists live in LA? I feel like the best solution would be to find someone with a working mind-control raygun and use it on Russell before he signs the paperwork that makes his $47 mil option official. I'm usually all for athletes getting every cent of bad contracts that owners stupidly agree to, but not in this case 1
Dolfan in NYC Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 My guess is Riley tells Brooklyn, "Anything not named Butler or Adebayo and we can get to Yes." I'd think it would be Herro, Lowry, Strus or Robinson, and 3 1's
Dolfan in NYC Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 This is going to get swept away in the tsunami of the destruction of the Nets, but.... Zach Lavine is expected to re-sign in Chicago. 5/215
Jiji Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Wasn't this supposed to be a quiet NBA offseason? Or was that last year?
hammerva Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Congratulations on being the 9th to 11th seed in the Eastern Conference for the next 5 years 1
RIPPA Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 2nd largest contract in NBA history (at least per local radio)
Dolfan in NYC Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Brooklyn's asking price for the Suns is Devin Booker (plus). 1
Dolfan in NYC Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Well, nevermind what I said earlier. Victor Oladipo is re-signing with Miami. 1/11 ... that said... I really wonder if he's part of the package Riley is offering to Brooklyn. Also, of note, by rule, Brooklyn cannot receive Bam Adebayo as part of a trade because he's still got rookie-level protections, and they already traded for Ben Simmons, who has the same protections.
Infinit Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 I wonder if Masai can Jedi mind trick the Nets into taking Siakam, OG, and a couple 1st rounders for KD?

Unless they make a three team deal somewhere and dump Simmons. 1

Actually I think the language is that they couldn't make the trade for a player in that rookie protection zone twice in the same year, so I think Bam would have to go to the third team, which, no. EDIT - Nope, I'm wrong. If Simmons goes then they can acquire Adebayor or Booker.
Brian Fowler Posted July 1, 2022 Author Posted July 1, 2022 Andre Drummond to Chicago on a 2/6.6 deal. He quietly played pretty well backing up Embiid, and then really well for Brooklyn after the trade. He's a guy I've always felt a bit bad for. He seemed to be breaking out as a star in Detroit, and right as he was hitting his stride, Steph and the Warriors completely changed the game and made him borderline obsolete. (Of course, he got a max deal with the Pistons basically the last year a guy like him could've gotten a max, do I don't feel that bad.)
Zimbra Posted July 1, 2022 Posted July 1, 2022 Otto Porter Jr is going to the Raptors on a two year deal, with the second year being a player option. Joe Ingles is going to Milwaukee for one year for the MLE.
