Shams: KD "Monitoring" Situation, Kyrie Trade Looking Likely

[cons]

Durant probably wants to go back to golden state.

That would totally be fair. 😂😂

[SHAQATTACK]

Brooklyn…the dynasty that never was

Now now, they still got Ben Simmons. You know, "the next Lebron" to lead them to the promise land! 

Yeah right Simmons is afraid of his own shadow

Kyrie's wish list of teams:Los Angeles Lakers, LA Clippers, New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Dallas Mavericks and Philadelphia 76ers.

Didn't Harden go to the Sixers to get away from Kyrie?

The Knicks it is!

My guess is, it'll be the Knicks. Pat Riley isn't stupid, and I doubt Dallas wants to ruin a good thing there by adding this headcase. Knicks are sort of desperate and need any kind of buzz, plus they tried hard for Kyrie when he was a FA like 3 years ago.

Remember, this is Kyrie's preferred list, not what teams are truly interested in him. Tbh I imagine the only teams who might be interested in him are the Knicks and Lakers (and the latter is more so assuming they could dump some of their more atrocious salaries)

Sounds like an Irving opt-in and trade is expected and likely at this point.

Have to say - seems like that relationship is already too far gone. Will be interesting to see who convinces themselves that they'll be able to change Kyrie moving forward.

I would love it if he got traded to the Heat just to see Pat Riley mentally break this guy. Riley would literally kill this guy.

[ozgod]

They'd be crazy not to give Cryrie his money and let KD walk. I think they will eventually cave

Wishful thinking. I think Kyrie said he won't even play out his career.

Players have all the power (not saying it's a bad thing, but I guess maybe in Kyrie's case it is).

From a legit Nets Reporter, Kristian Winfield:

If Irving and the Nets cannot come to an agreement that keeps the superstar guard in Brooklyn, Durant, who signed a four-year, $198M extension last summer, is likely to request a trade from the franchise that failed to keep his co-star in town.

Really feels to me that Kyrie AND KD are leaving. I wonder if Harden saw this coming LOL.

I didn’t think about it but what if Phoenix trades for KD

If those two + Beal all try and leave the NBA landscape will be very different.

Definitely

 Man, Houston could be in great shape...

They can run out a line up of TyTy Washington/Jalen Green/Tari Eason/Jabari Smith Jr/Alperen Sengun next year AND they control the Nets draft picks through 2027...

Which was why it's so disappointing that the Celtics couldn't win 2 more games vs GS. They could be 3rd choice in the East by opening night depending on what happens in July.

Perhaps, but conversely we may have shown ourselves to be a team that premier talents want to play for.

Not just premier talents. I can see a lot of proven rotation guys around the league saying 'I could knock down those open looks' that Smart/Al/White etc were clanking vs GS.  The next several weeks are going to be interesting, that's for sure.
