I’m worried that in 2 years, Ingram will be better than KD 2 years from now. I’d hate to give up the assets

This is purely a philosophical issue imo.

I think the Gobert trade is a colossal mistake for Minnesota. I think trading a decades worth of picks always is.

Way too much to gamble on the health of a skinny oft injured dude nearing retirement age for 90 percent of the NBA. If he was 28 maybe.

34??? frick no


Gobert isn't worth all those picks imo. Big mistake.

"Steve Nash" is trending now because of this clip of Cam Thomas seemingly showing frustration about a hint that he's a ball hog.

I wonder how much of the reason that KD and Kyrie want out is that they wanted Nash as their head coach and now they don't.

Cam Thomas is a ball hog that isn't very efficient at offensive basketball. Nash isn't wrong here

I agree, but the point is that it's another example of the dysfunction on the team right now.

That's fair. It there is dysfunction, they need to all look in the mirror. They wanted the players coach because Kenmy wasn't scared to be a hard arse, and now they can't take it when Nash calls them out.

Windhorst is reporting no one in the NBA is giving up what the Nets want...

Maybe a Draft Pick and Expiring situation evolves at the trade deadline now

Think that's where this is heading.

They are gonna try and find their own Nets at the deadline. That team that's season didn't go quite as ideally as they wanted and are willing to go all in to level up their roster.

And if history is a guide, there will be a few of those teams.

Which just means they don't want any coach, they want to run the team. Kyrie has essentially said as much. Hell, he's talk about running the team on and off the court

They want 2 studs and 4 1sts, they're not going to settle on 1 1st.

Some team will give up a haul, just not nearly the haul BKN wants. It may take til the deadline though.

I'm not even sure this is true. Brooklyn signed KD to a max while he was injured with the most career threatening injury you can have. They signed his legit crazy costar and fired a good coach because they wanted to play a washed up friend over an up and coming, soon to be All Star. Then there's the James Harden mess which had them mortgage their future to Houston.

KD has shown himself to be a scorpion and teams don't want to be his frog. Miami might be the only team willing to risk going "All In", and by that I mean anything they want besides Jimmy and Bam. Unfortunately everything but Jimmy and Bam is pretty meh for a Super Star trade.

nothing should surprise me with these narcissistic players but, I am genuinely perplexed how Durant and/or his agents didn’t see this coming. Like, did he really think that Brooklyn was just going to bend over (especially after the harden fiasco) and take what they could get and send him where he wants? And did he not know there was really no market for him?

of all the stupid player power plays, this one might be the stupidest
