The Official NBA Thread: Mavs v Celtics in the NBA Finals | elpablo21 is Taking Receipts

Scotto reported the Hart to Knicks deal 12 hours before the trade went down.

I understand the Nets took a swing for the fences. But trading away all 3 just to prove a point that ownership/FO has power IS THE ISSUE

It’s like running a college team lol

I thought the only ownership/FO flex was just moving Kyrie anywhere but the Lakers after his trade request. Harden and KD both wanted out and they collaborated with them to get them the one of their preferred destinations. I didn’t view those two as power moves. Even Dallas, was a partial move IMO.

Why should we as fans want that to happen?

I never said I wanted that happen, I was simply stating what I think will happen.

Woke up to these trades for my Nets squad. I'm relieved and very slightly disappointed.

I'm not mad at management or ownership. They bet big and lost. I am mad at Kyrie and KD. They some hos. Harden kinda too.

Nets get some players back who actually play ball and unprotected picks.

In the end, Nets got the stars they wanted just maybe the wrong stars.

All KD cares about is a ring. Even more so after Steph won. So whatever team maximizes that he wants to go to. Kyrie just wants freedom to get paid tons and so whatever he wants to do. Maybe if he was 25 you let him do it(also not causing controversies).

Sometimes you get these weird personalities that just don’t mesh well together

Owners willing to force a lockout to take power?

Grizz going after Bridges and OG

Getting Bridges would be all I could ask for. Perfect complement to Ja/Bane/Jaren

Proof humanity is getting dumber and dumber

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

The Nets also owe Houston all their own picks. So I’m theory they can rebuild but they have to hit on the margins

Pick swaps with a team like the rockets isn’t anything guaranteed

The nets can still pivot and trade players for more picks to make up for the two firsts they lose outright to Houston

It’s the price they pay for building their super team. It’s not setting their franchise back in any way like the wolves did

A Phoenix-Boston finals would be nasty.

Look at what KD did for tryna get revenge on the Warriors. Just nasty.

@osh kosh bosh

I swear our beat writers are the worst. Anything looks better if you’re playing captain hindsight. There’s a decent chance raps might have taken Koloko at 20 anyways.

It's only worth it if the air came from the net after Bron hit the fadeaway.

Refusing to trade KD last summer

Playing dumb with Harden last year after his request

That’s them tryna hold power and dictate what’s gonna happen. But the players have more power sans Myrie

 

[WASHED KING]

Joe Tsai deserves this. He did it to himself.

 

[NickFolarin]

PG - Dinwiddie
SG - Cam Thomas
SF - Mikal Bridges
PF - Ben Simmons
C - Nic Claxton

Rotation - Curry, Harris, Johnson, Finny-Smith (Factoring O'Neale & Crowder are traded)

Playoff team?

Nets can get some picks for Bridges

Dude had been hooping in Booker's absence

I would have preferred CP3 been including in the trade instead of him. But Nets would have been stupid to do that

Harden played 2 playoff games on 1 leg. That same injury he continued to struggle with the next season while KD had an injury and kyrie was refusing to get vaccinated. Kyrie was clearly the problem

 

[masagipatron]

**** the Nets, pack ‘em up, send those bums back over the GW #Knickstape

 

[rolaholic]

Those summer rumors about Phoenix were true

Yep, the Grizzlies can nudge themselves into the trade and throw more picks at the Nets to re-route Bridges to Memphis.

Any of the mvp contenders would be able to compete with that roster

 

[B Sox]

Suns got TJ Warren too? Good for depth.

 

[NickFolarin]

Please don't send Bridges to Memphis, I actually like him

Again, I don’t think it’s quite power. Maybe be stability and reliability and the Nets would be b st case study. Signing a player to a max contract and tooling your roster around him only for him to ask out after multiple years ain’t it famb. It becomes like why even go through the whole rigmarole at that point? I don’t knowing what optimal solution is because everything I am thinking of at the moment is too draconian but I believe they will attempt to address it.

 

[B Sox]

Warriors better go get at least one of those Nets wings.

He fits in there perfect though. He’s as much a hotdog as the rest of the trench boys.
