I think it shows just how unwilling they are to take on salary beyond this season.

Simmons a actually a very deferential player. Playing with an Apha type like Westbrick may help. It might actually unlock his roll game. … or maybe it will be awful…..

Still crazy to me that the lakers ruined their classic away uniforms by adding black side panels to them. Tragic.

The balls on the Lakers to ask for Seth as well as Kyrie for Russ.. what a joke.

Lol. If other teams offer a better deal, I’m sure the Nets will take that.

Can you run a pick and roll if both defenders just sit in the paint?

Kyrie Irving ain't netting no three 1st round picks, that's freaking insane.

Kyrie is such a distraction and the Lakers are the only team desperate enough to take him.

If California uses a vaccine mandate again, Kyrie isn't going to be able to play most of the season.

Which would be hilarious so they should trade for him.

The real question is who's going to average a triple double on that team with the anti-gravity these two stars possess.

Desperate? We’ve resisted the Wall rumors, the Hornets rumors, the Knicks rumors, etc…Pelinka made it clear they have no intention of giving up a first round pick in any of those garbage offers and will hold onto Russ’ expiring if needed. Kryie is a different animal altogether, well worth the risk.

Dunno why people are upset at the Nets for this. What do you want them to do? They cant create a market for Kyrie out of nothing
