The Nets in 2-3 years. :D

I think:

Murray / Thomas
Harris / Barton / Beasley
Hernangomez / Porter Jr / Craig
Millsap / Lyles / Lydon
Jokic / Plumlee / Vanderbilt

whoops I know they have Lydon but I meant to say Lyles :oops:

they may actually be a top 5, 6 team in the west. Sean Kilpatrick would be a great final addition for them.

I don't know man about Skill. They already have IT and Barton coming off the bench who provides scoring.
I'm really intrigued by Hernangomez though.

Chicago probably cut Skill because they have Antonio Blakeney on two-way contract who is very similar player: scoring and nothing else! :lol:

Maybe we can add Skill like 13° man, we have two roster spot!

I like Skil, wouldn't want to add him though, takes minutes from guys like Crabbe, Harris and Musa for no good reason.

SK is the Okafor of guards.

He can score but anything positive he does on the court is undone by awful defense/decision making.

Pass.

I like the idea of Kawhi going to Raptors, ...

so that Ainge and Sixers forever have to deal with fact that they let Kawhi go as Raptors challenge them in East.

The players don't at all.

DeMar is not happy, to put it mildly. Doesn't sound like Kawhi is either, but he's an FA next season.

I’m pretty sure he would’ve been thrilled with a season in NYC considering he’s been rehabbing here for a whole year...

Buford is nuts and Masai is going to be fired if Leonard walks.

Lets watch how this plays out. This is exactly what some of you guys on here wanted the Nets to do.

This is shocking

I didn’t think deal would actually go through but especially not on these terms

So they are getting capspace ?? And DeRozan. And probably a pick in 20s

Dear lord what a robbery by the Raptors. 1 year of Kawhi + Green then they're in perfect position to rebuild if it doesn't work out. If Kawhi is healthy, this literally solves all their problems in the playoffs.

I’m just glad we can finally put the “Kawhi for RHJ/Allen/LeVert/Dinwiddie + three 1sts” trade scenarios to bed.

Yes because he’s been in NY for months rehabbing and we’re ascending long term.

The Raps are setting up for a rebuild if this doesn’t work. Toronto is getting clowned for the fact, Pop sent him to a different country and the Raps dealt their most loyal homegrown star (this will damage their rep). Plus, Kawhi already has informed them he wasn’t that interested lol

Spur fans are actually considering this a win because they sent Kawhi to Canada. Meanwhile the actual return for a prime superstar is awful.

as we all suspected, Buford would rather trade Kawhi to an unfavorable destination for peanuts than LA

Also, thank god Marks didn't offer Russell/LeVert/RHJ/Allen and two 1st rd picks for Leonard. That idea looks insane now in hindsight considering what was exchanged.
