If I was a nets fan I would not want to do this trade. But since I am not, I want them to for the lulz.

Sounds crazy but it’s not it’s gonna be similar to what Lebron did in Miami and Cleveland...a bunch of good older player will take pay cuts and take the veterans min to win possibly some players like ibaka, gasol, Wes matthews, Dwight, rondo etc

Kyrie - 33 mil -
KD - 39 mil
Herden - 41 mil

Whats the salary cap again?


Don't forget the roster, who needs 12-15 players, we can have 8, and they good.


They can get enough players to go around, but can they get enough balls to go around after the tipoff. I don't really see KD as a ball hog, but he's best with the ball in his hand unless he was paried with a really top notch point guard. But Harden and Kyrie??!! That going to be something to watch to see how they try to get all the touches they want.

People are saying KD isn't a ball hog and moves without the ball; did anybody forget his 2nd and 3rd year in Golden State? He basically said buck the system and started wanting to go ISO. KD, Kyrie, No. 13 won't work at all especially with one of them having to go from their regular numbers to about 18-20 ppg.

How is this Tillman Fertita's fault? He's had the team for the last two years and brought in No. 13 close friend Westbrook for a massive price.

I wouldn't even listen to his request, let him play his deal, and then let him walk. They got you Dwight and it doesn't work, they got you CP, and yet again it doesn't work; they got your best friend Westbrook and it still doesn't work? At some point, I'll stop listening to your request and let you finish out your contract disgruntled and all because I acquiesced to your demands and you failed to get us over the hump.

All the players you've named with the exception of Wes Matthews, have won a ring already. Ibaka and the Lakers have interests in each other, Dwight and the Lakers have interest in each other, Wes Matthews may want to go there, and Rondo may go to the Clips, as for Gasol I'm hearing he wants to finish his career overseas with Spain I believe.

After game 7 against the warriors he should have said we are running it back and instead of cheaping out and letting everyone walk, he pays the luxury tax and brings them back.

Who did he let walk? CP? Trevor who wanted to get overpaid?
