It’s funny to watch Malone continually get the ball on the lower left block near the baseline. He’s always looking towards the foul line while Bulls defenders leave their man (the passer) and attempt to circle back and catch Malone off guard unsuccessfully ... until you know who does who know what.

I wonder if Caris Lavert, Jarrett Allen, Kurucs/Musa + 2 unprotected 1st round picks would get it done.

depends on how much they like LeVert as the main piece. I really like him and think he could be a really nice piece in any trade situation. I actually wouldn't mind the Nets trading all there assets for Beal. He's really not this missing piece there. Kyrie, Beal, and Durant is kinda overkill as someone will have to take on a lesser role just like Bosh did.

Kyrie, Beal, and Durant (now after that injury) aren't good defensive players and if there only other pieces are Taureen Prince and Deandre Jordan....that could backfire...with no picks and depth.

I don’t think the Wizards want to move Beal.

With that said think it could be enough as long as the Wizards aren’t scared of Levert’s history of injuries. I could see them asking the Nets for a third 1st round pick as well. They are making them instant contenders and should be compensated. Also we are seeing that Dimwiddle isn’t planning to stay unless he gets paid well too.....

Kyrie
Beal
Harris (Bird rights)
KD
D. Jordan

Is a really good five. Though their depth would be really slim.

I’d be weary if I were Washington. Levert has major injury concerns. Would probably ask for 3 first round picks.

Kyrie would have to go more as a distributor/more traditional PG style play. Doing so would probably prolong his career some. Or, maybe the Nets are concerned about the health of KD and Beal is insurance? :dontknow:

Looks like the Nyets are going to Nyet again. :lol:

The nets will still not be good even with Beal they still have a post Achilles KD and a chronically injured PG who lives in outer space and kills teams. Already got the coach fired. I can’t wait until we take them down

you wouldn't be getting the best out of them. The 3rd banana always has to cut down his production for the team. Remember Lebron, Wade, and Bosh were all plus defenders.

Those 3 aren't and if beal is only scoring 18 ppg are you really getting his full value? Or if you are treating Irving as more of a distributor is that using him more to his benifit?

No doubting there talent together...and they all can shoot it...it would just be an odd to get all that talent playing to there full potential together since they share similar skill sets (being able to score the ball).

Can Kyrie even play off the ball, because it seems like he has to dribble himself into a rhythm before attempting shots.

Bradley can easily have his best season if he changes his game to being a klay thompson/kyle korver spot up shooter from the 3 point line, and only going inside the 3 point line if he notices Kyrie and Durant need him to be more aggressive.
