everything that transpired shows he’s basically going nowhere.

If they felt one upset Kyrie away from being forced to blow it up by also having to trade KD…

they wouldn’t have put value in Dinwiddie or Finney-Smith
they probably would’ve traded KD first
they could’ve just extended Kyrie
they could’ve just cut bait in the summer

Everything they’ve done points to them having no intention of trading KD

Originally Durant came there specifically to join Kyrie, will he really just shut up and play now??

Thanks for this news... I'm glad I know only the Suns will be ready for Durant.

Also funny that their best trade asset in Ayton is no longer value to the Nets with Claxton emerging as a their Center of the future lol.

It would have to be mostly assets coming from a third team. Someone like the Raps in a 3 way.

This is the perfect scenario for Durant to prove that he can lead team by himself.

exactly; Nets was a nobody organization before; it was Kyrie who make them good, first signing himself and then bringing KD; Kyrie should be so p!ssed at Nets for doing them so many favors and in return getting disrespected again and again

The nets will try aggressively buying all the borderline all-star guards to keep Durant happy.

i could see a trade to Denver for murray/MPJ+picks if Denver doesnt have success this playoffs. Nets get win now young players and Nuggets could not get a better guy next to Jokic then Durant on both sides of the floor

Who does Phoenix offer for Durant?

CP3 has to be part of that, right?

For contract matching? Of course. Is he included in any trade? Pretty unlikely unless BKN demands it. Then again, they said that there was no deal without Booker and that would still be the case unless he said he wanted out.

Durant will want a trade to a contender. The Nets will want a haul in return, which will convert a contender into a pretender.

I agree. They better be looking to trade for a guy who can actually help Durant score. Otherwise, they're looking at another first round sweep IMO. They have nice role players and much better depth now, but they only have one scoring option.

Pg: Dinwiddie / Mills
Sg: Simmons / Curry
Sf: Durant / Thomas / Harris
Pf: DFS / O'Neal / Warren
Cc: Claxton /

If you collapse on Durant, who's really hurting you when it counts? Dinwiddie is the only option, and he's just sorta meh...

Lol We have plenty of scoring elsewhere.

Why?

Our defense just spiked with Finney Smith, Royce Oneale, Clax, Ben all on the same lineup.

That literally makes no sense and this current lineup actually now can properly matchup with others like Cleveland.
