Brooklyn is trading Allen Crabbe and No. 17 pick in 2019 NBA Draft and protected first in 2020 to Atlanta for Taurean Prince and 2021 second-round pick, league sources tell ESPN.

Kyrie Irving is serious about the Nets -- and the Nets are serious about beating the Knicks -- and rest of league -- to the biggest free agents in the marketplace, per league sources.

Nets went from laughing stock of the league to a legit threat for two max guys.

PG: Kyrie Irving/Patty Mills/Jalen Brunson
SG: OG Anunoby/Norman Powell/Matisse Thybulle

  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
Good move by the Nets. They get a guy who can help now, and a guy who they don't need to pay til later.

Have to say that if Kyrie does leave, I'd like it to be the Nets. And long term might not be a bad thing for us

One of the max slots is going to be Kyrie...wonder who the second will be? Jimmy Butler?

And can they sign 2 max player plus Russell? I just do not see how Kyrie and Russell can work.

Would love for Boston to get Russell

I prefer the Lakers because it would be a the Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. show he deserves. Plus you keep him in a loaded conference

Hey Cap people, if Brooklyn renounces Russell's rights and he becomes a UFA would there be anything stopping us going after him if Kyrie walks?

I don't like D'Angelo Russell the person but I think his up and down 3 point gunning game would be a great fit here.

Yeah, I cant see Russell and Kyrie fitting either. Especially on defense.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Sounding like it is. I prefer to know sooner than later so Boston can plan accordingly.
I think the road is going to be Tatum, Brown, Smart and Hayward. Keep Al. Use the picks or trade for a vet.

Boston is going to be super young next year.

Yeah, being able to pay him. We could do a S&T with Irving (counts for $20.1M), Yabusele, and pick(s) for a S&T of Russell (counts for $27.5M), but that isn't going to happen.

Anyway, this blows if you're a logical Cs fan and don't want to lose a top 15 player in his prime for nothing. For the rest of you guys, I guess you'll get what you are wishing for.

Unless Smart starts the season as a dominant PG I don’t see this team happening. One of these guys will be traded for a Center or PF.

Yes, cap space.
