It made no sense to trade for a PG then sign Irving in the off-season. Irving also grew up as a NET fan so it makes sense that he would be interested in going there.
Maybe the plan has always been pairing Durant with another wing like Butler or trading for AD. Kyrie was never in the Knicks' plan.

What I’m saying is that Woj is not breaking any news here in this clip today.
His opinion is that the Nets are a viable option for KD/Kyrie.
In my opinion, the Knicks are more viable.
He also said Clippers will target KD....well duh. We knew they were. Warriors are in it too. Lebron & the Lakers will call too. Hell, I’m sure Mark Cuban will try to at least get a call from Rich.
Holy crap. I'm quoting you too DowNY cause we all in this together. 3toheadmelo, mad spiiinn
First of all, Woj says that the Nets HOPE that Kyrie can be like a Pied Piper for FAs. In other words, they don't have any guarantees on anyone else after Kyrie. And even Kyrie himself isn't a lock, just a team he's suddenly now interested in.
He sais the Nets are basically now an option for the Durant/Kyrie combo. Not that they're favored. He also barely mentions the Clippers as another spot, and like Dow says, it's a given.
Woj is pushing the Nets here as an option, not as a guarantee. I even think there's a strong possibility that Kyrie spurns the Nets. Seems like smoke.

we aint got but at best a 14 percent chance at wiseman. this rebuild sh*t aint a real plan no more. we did the best out of the 3 worst teams and still ended up 3rd.

I’m a Brooklyn boy, born and raised. Loyal to my boro and a die hard basketball fan. Do these guys have any idea how irrelevant Brooklyn is?? And neither player is gonna truly captivate the masses with their games as potent as they are. They make an earth shattering salary dump trade and we heard we MIGHT talk to Kawhi and boom, we get the back page. From a publication that legit hates us and the team owner.
“Guys that want to be here”
That’s real. If they’d rather hide in BK, cool.

Once KD and Kyrie join the Nets, hoping that the basketball gods finally cut us some slack and give us Wiseman or the Ant-Man.
Along with RJ, DSJ, Mitch and company, we will have a core that would take over the league sooner rather than later.
god shammgod wrote:best core in the league ? you got mitch and maybe rj barrett if he's any good. we don't know yet if he is. and that's it.
