LaVert should flourish in Indy..

Cavs should have great defense but no offense hardly..Drummond & Allen are both FA after this season right??

Nets have no bench so if one of those stars goes down, they are done

Houston getting Olapido and picks is okay..better hit a home run with 2 of those picks

Brooklyn is either going to be epically awesome or implode and be terrible.  No middle ground.
I don't know, I can see chemistry issues with Irving pushing them toward that middle ground.  I'd honestly feel more comfortable with the Nets chances to win a championship if they told Irving to stay home.

Or trade Irving for better complimentary pieces.
I would see if OKC would take Kyrie for Horford and Hill. I don’t think they can get more for him given the circumstances

You would have figured that after the last time Brooklyn traded a bunch of picks and pick swaps for veterans to attempt to win a title, they would have learned their lesson and not trade a raft of picks and pick swaps for a veteran in an attempt to win a title.

Especially when you have one headcase/cancer on your team and the veteran you are adding is another headcase/cancer. I'm going to pop the popcorn and enjoy watching Brooklyn implode. Should be fun.

So those posters that make fun of the blockbuster trades with 4 teams and 12 draft picks exchanges (usually proposed by a couple of the posters here) now get to be proven wrong lol

It’s like the old Brooklyn trade except if Deron Williams was Marbury and KG was, like, prime Antoine Walker. Super fun dynamic to watch play out.

Gotta say, ballsy move by Brooklyn to mortgage almost an entire decade of your future for basically 2 seasons, especially where 1 of them could be scuttled by COVID

It's going to be a dumpster fire. Kyrie has already ruined his relationship with Nash and KD and is off the grid. Harden is an overweight malcontent who has failed to play well enough to compete in the playoffs with any of the other stars he's ever been paired with. The only guy who looks reliable is the guy who came back from an achilles tear and is on the wrong side of 30.

They lost their two most reliable guys outside of Durant in Levert and Allen on top of it, and completely sold off their future for the a long, long time.

That's a lot of picks for BKN to give up... Didn't they learn the last time this happened?


Maybe what they learned is that in Brooklyn (a valued destination for some) you can take risks. After giving way too much for Pierce and Garnett, they are closer today to a championship than the Celtics.

This bugs me a bit, and sorta makes me wonder about Danny's plan. I guess we're just left to hope that Tatum and Brown become huge stars who carry the Cs for many years.

Has any rookie coach had to deal with such a trial by fire? Nash stands no chance!

This is a big win for the Pacers. They were already playing well this year, and now Levert can give them what they would have had in Hayward, but at a younger age and for less money.

It is going to be glorious to watch the Nets implode. They have zero depth and if reports are true that Kyrie is sitting out the rest of the year, yikes!

What happens when you encounter the giant ice wall? Is it like on Game of Thrones? What if Kyrie was flying an ice dragon?

So... is Kyrie actually going to come back soon? Because if not, what's the point? You gave away LeVert and Allen. What's their frontcourt now besides DeAndre Jordan
