Now fire Steve Trash and I'm happy.

This was inevitable and it was obvious these two won't win here as leading duo. Harden, Ime and D'antoni got it after a year stint.

We also weren't winning with him, or did you not see Durant piss himself against Boston?

Now f*ck off

I was honestly sad for the Nets the day the toxic duo of Kyrie and KD decided to settle there. You guys deserve way, way better.

Actually, I see this as good news for the Nets franchise, as KD still has insane value so the value lost can still be recouped. You need a miracle to win a championship with Kyrie, even disregarding all the off-court shenanigans, he is just way too injury prone. Better move on from now and go back to what was working, the youth movement.

Why do we need separate thread about Ducant ? He doesn’t deserve it , off-season thread was enough

the problem in that series was the coaching. Nash didn't put kd in proper spots to succeed

Doesn't matter. Great players adjust. KD couldn't even get past Al Horford in isolation.

This is what I've been saying for days on here. Sell KD now while his value is high to recoup picks and prospects

We weren't winning with him. KD is a) not a leader, b) often injured c) and in the Boston series he showed the first signs of decline.

I'm good.

Nope, check my post history. I've been calling to trade Durant ever since Kyrie started pulling his BS.

True. Made it to the finals and never got swept in the first round... oh wait.

Nets flip Kyrie for Westbrook.

Nets trade Durant for Ayton, Bridges and some picks.

Nets new line up is

PG - Westbrook
SG - Curry
SF - Bridges
PF - Simmons
C - Ayton

Great defensive team. Westbrook and Simmons aren't a good fit but maybe you can stagger their minutes. And you get to recoup some picks for ability to build towards the future.

Facts. Objectively, this is the best outcome for the franchise. Players like KD you cannot trade unless they request it, so now that the cat is out of the bag, might as well look at it for what it is. Ask Laker fans, they wish they can flip LBJ and AD for assets and play out the season with Westbrick and start the next with a clean slate, but they can't.
The goal is to win a championship, not sell tickets for the owner to pocket deep. The window for this team closed as soon as the Harden debacle happened. Time to move on.

Nets twitter is furious at Sean Marks and Tsai and while I get it, I really disagree. There is definitely some blame to go to Marks and co., but at the end of the day, KD hitching his wagon to KAI and not being a real leader is the root of the problem.

This would've never spun out of control if LeBron was the head of this franchise. IDGAF

Exactly. Honestly, once Kyrie refused to get vaccinated, that was the beginning of the end.

Nets twitter is full of idiots. Marks and Tsai deserve to get sh*t on but KD and Kyrie are both 100% to blame here.

He's very likely to sit out now since he won't be hiding behind kd and kyrie

Based on his IG post. He’s ready to be the face of the team.
