Re: How should nets handle Kyrie/KD
I’d take Herro and Adebayo for KD and Simmons, since they don’t have their own picks. Build a young roster from that

Sit down with both of em and try to work it out. If it doesn't work, salvage what you can

Re: How should nets handle Kyrie/KD
Get the best package you can from whoever will give it to you even if it means shipping Kyrie off to Sacramento

Herro and Bam on their own aren't enough to get KD. Before he got injured he was leading the MVP race. Herro is also due for a huge pay day and has been atrocious the last two playoffs.
Nets should keep both unless they feel like they are getting fair value in return, especially for KD.

They need to sit them down and do everything in their power to fix what they don’t like there and have them play this last year at least.

Re: How should nets handle Kyrie/KD
Get the best package that you can for both. Being that the Jazz traded Rudy Gobert for 3 unprotected 1st round picks and some good starting caliber talent,the asking price for both KD and kyrie should way higher than that. They could also just keep how things are and just change the coach and give Kryie the long term max.

I agree I think it's a bad look to hold onto KD out of spite but Kyrie deserves nothing, he has ruined the franchise and could have just opted out but by choosing to opt in the nets should take advantage and either force him to play for them (or let him choose to risk impact of sitting out on a contract year) or only trade him for a legit deal, no buy out.

Re: How should nets handle Kyrie/KD
80-90% of owners would have given Kyrie a 2 year extension with availability/ performance clauses and it would have never gotten to this point. Tsai is free to run the team how he chooses but it's not like Kyrie has assaulted a woman. Kyrie's stance on the vaccine doesn't make him a bad person. The fans love to fuel the flames of panic and hysteria when what has transpired in Brooklyn wasn't that big a deal.
Brooklyn was half a toe away from winning a title with an injury ravaged team, and then lost 4 games by a total of 18 points without Ben Simmons and Joe Harris to the 2nd best team.
People need to chill out, not panic so much and acknowledge the variance that exists in sports. Having a 20% chance any given year to win a title is amazing and any team would take that every year.
Now Joe Tsai is irrationally throwing it away.

It's not a moral issue but a logical one, why would you extend a player who has not shown commitment to winning and has openly stated there are issues he will prioritize over basketball. Again morally there is absolutely nothing wrong with that but if you are paying someone to play for you it doesn't make sense to tolerate that.

Re: How should nets handle Kyrie/KD
Nets go into full rebuild.
Seth Curry to Celtics for 2nd rd pick.
KD to Suns for Ayton (s&t), Bridges, and 3-4 unprotected 1st rd picks
Kyrie to Lakers for Westbrook, THT, and 3-4 future unprotected 1st rd picks (the picks wont be for a while)

Since when losing in the second round is almost winning the title?....It must be the same thing for the 2008 cavs
And losing 4-0 in a playoff serie is always a bad thing,the point differencial don't matter

Re: How should nets handle Kyrie/KD
I think they might as well keep both. It will be a while before the team will be contenders again. Just go all out for this one final year. You might get lucky and the season might be a success. If it's a disaster then you just trade everyone at the trade deadline and you're really not much worse off than if you cleaned house this offseason.

Re: How should nets handle Kyrie/KD
After being dick'd around for the last couple years, BK has to seize this moment and start fresh but strong.
Send Kyrie to Lakers and drop Harris' money on them for Russ, THT, 27 1st, 28 swap . Move KD to Phx w/Utah in the deal and try to extra every pick from both those teams. Something where KD to Phx, Ayton to Utah, Bridges, Cam + picks galore to BK.

Trade them both to the Lakers for WB and other scraps to help Lebron catch Jordan in rings.

Wait so Celtics can get Seth Curry for a 2nd but Lakers gotta pay 3-4 1sts 7-10 years from now to go from Westbrook to Kyrie when Kyrie has likely turned 28 other teams off from trading for him?

I would love for the Nets to do this as a way of saying "you know what? **** the NBA! Let em take both of them and screw the league balance for several years until the next CBA negotiations where we take control this time".
Obviously it won't happen, but man...the absolute mass hysteria if the Lakers got Durant and Irving for Westbrook, THT, Nunn, Johnson and Genbrial? (Fun fact: this works on nba trade machine)
The absolute chaos by the entire nba Fandom would be the most insane the world has ever seen.
