Nets need to just wait it out.

Ayton doesn't give a **** about Phoenix. If they don't find him a deal to Brooklyn he will just go sign with Detroit. What incentive does he have to deal with this soap opera?

And frankly Detroit will be a better fit for him with Cade and Ivey.

Once Ayton is out, that essentially eliminates Phoenix as a realistic trade partner.

Then either Toronto coughs up Barnes, Durant decides to stay or a surprise team like Boston/New Orleans decide to come in with a better offer.

All 3 scenarios are better than trying to rebuild around Ayton. No thanks.

Much like someone reported, I feel theres no good trade out there right now for KD.

Contenders don’t have the assets, and non contenders won’t leverage the future for 2 years of KD. KD is still a top 5 player, but the days of him being able to carry a team alone are over. Non contender teams would have to gut too much of their roster to have anything left worth pairing with KD.

The only trade that makes any sense is Barnes, but Masai does not leverage the future, even when he goes all in. He got Kawhi while keeping FVV/Siakam/OG at the time, and this time he would not trade Barnes/Precious.

Masai calls on everything available simply to see if he can fleece them, I don’t think there’s anything serious here. I’d bet his offer is something weak like OG + GTJ and picks.

IMO whatever you get back for KD can still allow the Nets to be a very good team next season and finish someone near atop of the East...

Stay competitive.

Heres an idea that sounds stupid.

How do you guys feel about trading KD to Houston for all of our picks back, a Houston first and Eric Gordon?

I know it doesn't really make sense but Houston can build around Green, Jabari and KD.

We can then just properly rebuild around Simmons and tank for a new elite star.

I think this would be my top trade out of any option.

It's honestly looking more and more likely that KD won't be traded right now, which means the Nets might have to run it back with both him and Kyrie. But from what I've heard the owner say, he wants both of them gone pronto so its a messy situation.

:lol:

Kyrie camp using Scoop B as their mouthpiece. That clown has a nerve to go on social media and represent their demands

These player stans extra toxic and media feeds on it. They not coming, not a chance.

I just wonder if they understand what they doing to themselves, players and players union. This upcoming CBA will get extra ugly for them, for good reasons.

Lol @ these clowns making demands.

Literally no one around the league wants Kyrie and he thinks he's in a position to make demands?

Kyrie realizing he won't go to the Lakers and KD realizing he won't go to the Suns?

Will they come crawling back? I doubt it.

At this point ship them to the highest bitter and be done with it.

Send KD to Canada and send Kyrie to Orlando.

Any team he is traded too will be utterly gutted because of KD's value on a 4 year deal. He likely won't be able to seriously contend on any team he gets traded to.

The stupid trade rules make it even less likely.

The Nets CLEARLY need an 25 or under all star player back in any deal. Or its not worth it for them at all.

AND the team Durant has currently Simmons/Kyrie is by far better than any team he would get traded too. Does he seriously think him, Booker and 40 year old Chris Paul are beating the Warriors and Clippers? Teams will multiple all stars and great depth.

Durant showed no **** foresight in making this trade demand. The much smarter move was to settle down with Kyrie and tell him to run it back. If the Nets were contenders and had good chemistry Kyrie wouldn't want to leave anyway.

But KD is a bitch and is always looking for an easy way out.

Now hes **** over everyone. Even if we bring him back the Nets chemistry will be so toxic we will be lucky to make the play in.

**** this snake. I hope to God he doesn't go to Phoenix and has to spend his days toiling away in Canada.
Toiling away in Canada? Haha
If you're representative of the average Brooklyn fan, I think that Durant and Kyrie are perfect for your franchise.

Canada doesn't want that ugly mf with his **** attitude. Totonto is a successful franchise and has standards, unlike the nets organization and fans like you

You can find @NetsKingdom and listen to their pods. They interviewed this guy @ScoopB

Yes it's legit. Kyrie been using him past few years and everything that guy said involving Kyrie and KD was 100% legit.

Durant is such a clown. Any team that trades for him will regret it.

If Boston offers Brown, Smart and draft picks i wouldn't hesitate to send Durant there, so he can be clowned relentlessly for being traded to the team that humiliated him

Yes, we raptor fans are lucky ujiri doesn't bow to pressure and make dumb mistakes (drafting barnes over Suggs, derozan trade). He's made tough trades if necessary tho (jv for gasol).

Yes, staying put maybe the best move for your gm. Phoenix needs to strike if they wish to keep their contention window open.

Pelicans, wolves maybe your best option
