Durant staying in Brooklyn

 

I wait for the implosion of the nets at some point this season. It is going to boil over. I think the writing is on the wall that no one had a package good enough for what the Nets wanted. And Kevin Durant is just stuck because he’s too old for anybody to give up more than what they are and he’s had injuries so no one is going over the top to get him.

I wish Durant would stay with the Nets. His growing frustration, turning into outright contempt for Simmons, tearing the team apart, would be a joy to watch.

I got killed for mentioning this. 

I guess the focus will shift back to Donovan Mitchell who the Knicks haven't been able to pry away. 

Gotta be honest, I was concerned the Nets might fire Nash and get a competent coach in order to bring KD back. This really is a fantastic outcome -- now we get to watch the season long meltdown of both the Nets and every talking head on ESPN and FS1. 

Over/under on games Ben plays? 30?

Kyrie? 40?

No thanks. It would cost Maxey, and I wouldn’t even do that trade straight up.

I’ve said the nets should’ve traded for jaylen brown if the Celtics actually made that offer. I much rather have 8-10 years of brown then 3-4 unhappy years with KD on the nets. Brown is a legit all star caliber two way player. The nets are stupid if they turned that down. I don’t think that’s what happened. I think Boston called and asked what it’d take. Nets said jaylen brown, smart and then some. Boston said no thanks. And nets Leaked saying brown was offered.

i do think if the sixers could get him for maxey and Harris with some picks they’d do it. Ditto for suns with bridges, cam and ayton. Ditto for Miami if it was Herro, straus and picks. Problem is the nets want way too much and teams aren’t going past those packages for him at that age and with his injuries.

Rather have maxey than Mitchell. Mitchell is kind of a diva and inefficient. He’s a good player but tbh i rather have someone like jaylen brown then Mitchell.

Same here -- I wouldn't trade Maxey for Mitchell straight up. I feel like Mitchell is a horribly overrated, inefficient volume scorer.

Poor Shai, forever tanking 

This new media is a bunch of bozos 

 

Until Giannis pulls a gun on a teammate in the locker room, he’ll never really understand basketball.

Giannis does have flaws in his game, but he works on them. 

Unlike somebody.... 

Markieff signed with Brooklyn

 

Barkley was a great player. Him, Kevin Johnson and Dan Majerle were quite the trio.

Tiny backcourt but two monster defenders in Mobley and Allen behind them. 

I came here expecting digs at our former PG's breakup from his fiancee.  Ya'll slipping. 

Cavs gave up a lot of assets for Mitchell. Imagine if Morey traded Simmons last offseason for a similar package. They would have had a lot of ammo.
