Did the Lakers not offer both 1sts? Or did the nets just not want to send him there?

Taking back Westbrook is a non starter.

Yup. Because KD leaves. That should have been obvious.

Exactly. If KD asked out after Kyrie did, that's one thing. I have to think that KD was aware of what was coming back and signed off on it. Just my speculation of course, so don't hold me to that

Spencer and DFS aren't Kyrie but they will fill needs and won't throw a grenade in the locker room and blame everyone else.

Most likely the Nets are probably trying to flip what they got from Dallas to another team looking to sell salary, like Chicago maybe

I think Russ would be waived if not served as a filler in a deadline deal.

I think they will try to overpay to get Lavine.

If Durant indicated that he wanted out, sure. If not then the Mavs offer was the one to take.

You’re a cool dude man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s time for you to stop playing games and come root for New York’s real and only Team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ITS TIME MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yall are my peoples for real. I've got Stockholm syndrome though so i still root for the Nets, but honestly i f*ck with the Knicks too now because of how cool everyone has been here.

I'm a big Grimes and Brunson guy after all

Why do you think we still root for the Knicks

Cam for Bullock is back on the menu, boys.

I'm not saying keep him just buy him out

[HEZI]

Lol. Poor Luka.

Yeah poor guy, they were really going somewhere with Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney Smith

Luka is the one who pressed Cuban to make a move because he knew the team they had currently was ass

I don't really feel bad for him. He gone.

The West is wide open so whether he leaves or not he’s got a legit shot at a title at the moment

Read on Twitter

Yikes Ja!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ja and Tee Morant are in tight with rapper Yo Gotti down in Memphis, a dude who had another rapper in that area shot to death in front of a bakery if i recall.

It wouldn't shock me at all if this is true.

Maybe a three team deal with the Lakers could have worked. Those picks are gold.

I think Marks is still trying to salvage the season. If KD wasn't on board, Kyrie is probably a Laker

That's what the consensus is.

KD doesn't give a **** about high draft picks. Without an immediate talent return he gone 100%.

As I mentioned to MDB maybe a 3 team deal does it but they probably didn't have time to set that groundwork.

Our first rounder from the Mavs this year not looking so hot now

Eh it was already the 18th pick without him and there’s 28 games left maybe they push it into the 20s but it doesn’t make much of a difference tbh

I tend to agree. There was still the hope of the Mavericks dropping in a tight west but I think Luka alone wins you around 45 games. Also Dinwiddie was performing really effective and well for them (18points/5assists 46%/41%/82%) and Dorian-Finney Smith is a very solid 3 and D guy so the difference may not be as great as the trade suggests.

I hope that Ja story isn't true but it feels true.

True if kyrie gets injured or posts more nazi propaganda and gets suspended it could be even worse for them without dfs and dimwitted. But the pick is an afterthought to me

[MrDollarBills]

I hope that Ja story isn't true but it feels true.

Based on what I've heard about who Ja and his pops are involved with in Memphis, I believe it.

I'm no legal expert, i just pretend to be one, but I'm pretty sure pointing a gun on someone in this manner is a crime, but hey.

[Guano]

I hope that Ja story isn't true but it feels true.

same. I enjoy the villain story of memphis.


but the dick punching and gun waving is where I draw the line.

Your commiseration with Knicks fans is the #1 unexpected storyline of the season

When Cuban’s desperate Kyrie experiment fails, I wonder what happens to Luka.
