WOJ BOMB: KD, TJ to Suns for Cam Johnson, Bridges, Crowder, 4 unprotected 1sts

[MrDollarBills]

Damn you guys cleaned up on the KD trade. Congrats.

I'm sure it's bittersweet ending the superteam for good but you're very well set up for the short and longterm future.

Thank you. it's honestly a relief that we're free from them.

[ArksNetsSince99]

Trading Bridges would be insanity.

He's showing signs of being a #2 type wing player(Jaylen Brown level) on a really nice contract.

Untouchable, will be better then Brown, without all the weird political stuff

I like the idea that they coming here together with Cam Johnson , ( as they r close beside basketball court) makes changing of scenery and moving way easier for them

Thank you for the kind words. Much love brother! Funny thing is Kyrie's childish side was on full display the past two days by bad mouthing us.

Honeymoon in Dallas is already over ? Kyrie connected moving to Suns in off-season

Oh I think they are def gonna try to make that happen

[Keith Van Horn]

It’s unfortunate we had 5 grown guys who couldn’t for once sit down and set their priorities to be on the same page , it never even happened , 3 of those it’s not our problem anymore , sadly remaining 2 is still at the wheel of the bus

1 Durant ( wannabe leader ) on paper but when s$it hit the fan he was always quiet and huge Kyrie enabler

2 Kyrie ( wannabe boss) center of attention, basketball was never his no 1 priority in Brooklyn, constant drama

3 Harden , he came here for an easy ride to championship ( that’s what he thought) once he find out it’s not gonna be that easy he bailed in a second

This three is gone and I’m happy about it , sad part is this team still have 2/5 of the problem and it looks like they’re not going anywhere

4 Marks , it’s GM job to keep communication with coaches players , yet he allowed for this cluster f@ck to continue for a three years

5 Tsai , the worse of all , Billionaire shmuck who all of a sudden decided to be a GM and made things even worse

This team never had Spurs culture, Marks being connected to them doesn’t made us to be Spurs culture

I'd have to disagree on that last point. There were GREAT vibes from this team pre KD Kyrie Harden. The players played with 110%, Atkinson was proving his chops, and Marks was getting making $20 on a bunch of $1 scratch off tickets via scrap heap FAs, salary dumps, and late draft picks. The attitude was great.

His problem is when he left the door open for too much player empowerment. I agree on that part that he let himself get walked all over during this last era.

And it blew up in everyone's face.

Remember Tsai did not want to trade Kyrie where he wanted to go….

[Hello Brooklyn]

what asset of consequence have they lost that they havent already gained back?

if you preferred quiet mediocrity that's your choice. or if you want disquiet mediocrity you can root for the knicks. surely nobody has ever considered their last 2 decades an epic disaster or embarrassing.

Our own draft picks until 2028. And our reputation as a competent franchise.

How is this even a question?

would you trade every pick on this list (plus the 5 seconds for crowder) to get back the 2 net FRP and 3 pick swaps outstanding after this year?

if so you would be trading 6 firsts (5 unprotected) and 1 pick swap for 2 firsts and 3 pick swaps.

Of course I would.

The difference is we could bottom out and get a top 5 pick.

These Phoenix/Dallas picks could all end up being late first rounders if Booker/Luka stick around.

0% chance of this happening, Kyrie is in Dallas and he gonna make sure Luka will have enough quick , then Kai move to suns and will do exact same thing to Booker

All of this picks could be high lottery picks after Kyrie is done with them

Yes Marks got desperate. That was the problem.

He should have just stayed the course.

Obviously if KD/Kyrie want to come you do it. But you only do it on our terms. You don't let them dictate anything.

[ArksNetsSince99]

One hour left , I still want to see Joe , o Neale Patty and Seth moved for the assets picks

Like LeBron in Miami. Pat Riley didn't let him and Klutch Sports run everything.

While it eventually led to LBJ leaving after only 4 seasons, they still managed to get 2 titles out of it. And if LBJ wouldn't have had his meltdown in 2011, maybe they do a 3-peat.

Luka will be on the move if Kyrie leaves for Phx/LA. Nets traded with Dallas and Phoenix with the possibility of one of those two players being available in the not to distant future should one or both teams fail after this year and next. I would say give it until the 2024 Offseason.

[NyCeEvO]

One hour left , I still want to see Joe , o Neale Patty and Seth moved for the assets picks

We still need to field a competitive team. I bet Marks is weighing how many players we can trade to acquire more assets while still remaining a decent side.

[Born_Ready]

Any way that Marvin Bagley might be available now for trade since they got Wiseman? Team still needs quality big men.

[Crives]

Untouchable, will be better then Brown, without all the weird political stuff

Bridges will be an All Star in my book and the perfect compliment to Cam.

Cam/Clax/Bridges are untouchable to me.

Mikal would be an all star now if he got same opportunity he’s had the last 20 games since beginning of season

[bubonicphoniks]

Well we wound up in mediocrity anyhow and now look at us.

I wouldn't set these crazy expectations on Mikal, he's a fine player but he averages something like 16 PPG and that's nowhere near all star territory. Trae and Jimmy Butler aren't even all stars. Let's just enjoy Mikal for what he is, a zero drama, always healthy elite role player.

Clax, Mikal and Cam are a nice little foundation to build on. We've got so much length and youth we're gonna be running some teams out of Barclays.

Hope we can offload Seth by the deadline for another pick or two and call it a day. The rest of the season belongs to the kids.

[Born_Ready]

Lakers are killing trade season my goodness.
