Nets Going Forward: Planning for Next Season

What's the ideal scenario here in terms of the rest of the roster if we do get Harden?

This is a long shot but I think this would solidify the Ibaka interest. I'm thinking:

Kyrie/Brown
Harden/Harris
Wes Matthews/TLC
KD/PJ Tucker
DeAndre/Ibaka

Still a little light on straight up athletes but it's probably the best combination of skill + defense you could ask for. I think we're already a hot spot for ring-chasing vets but if we sign Harden, we jump up a tier.

And where exactly do the nets get money to sign all those players? Our entire salary will be taken up by three players.

Baynes is not signing up to play with Kyrie again. It was his lying that caused the Cs to renounce Baynes so that he had to sign in PHX. He was pissed about that and I don't see him voluntarily signing up for that again

Evidence?

How do we get Wes Matthews? Most likely the Ibaka signing happens under the MLE if Serge is willing to take a paycut

Fake news. Baynes is pissed at Ainge for not picking a direction and hanging on to a pipe dream of keeping kyrie and other trades to swing for a star.

I'd invite you to the Cs board so you could post this nonsense to people that know him, but I know you can't. I was 100% accurate

If we trade prince and Irving for harden I’m in. Add a pick if we need to.

No way.

Bringing in Kyrie was to bring him back home and he has already done tons for the community and was the lynchpin to bring in KD. The idea of Harden is to form a big 3, not waste an asset to turn Kyrie into Harden.

Wow, that's definitely a big time move.

Everyone thought OKC would tank last year and CP3 lifted them to the playoffs. It'll be interesting to see him in PHX and if he can do the same in PHX alongside Booker. I do wonder if they'll take a hit defensively considering that Rubio and Oubre are gone.

This is a good haul for OKC, and I respect PHX for not tossing in the #10 pick. That was a rumored inclusion, and I thought that would have been a gross overpay.

Giannis is telling the Bucks, "tick tock". They really pooped the bed by not getting in on CP3 talks. Bledsoe is fine for the regular season, but he turns into hot garbage during the playoffs.

Did no one here really post about the actual trade we made? Musa + 2nd round pick for Bruce Brown? It's a low key really solid move, and it can have some interesting implications. Brown is a really good perimeter defender, and while not a good offensive player, he is on a good trajectory there. We finally have our first perimeter defensive specialist, and this can also mean that Temple is probably gone, while Tyler Johnson may not be re-signed either.

And where exactly do the nets get money to sign all those players? Our entire salary will be taken up by three players.

Ibaka for the MLE. Wes Matthews for the minimum which is 2.5 mil. On board with his current contract.

How does it not work?

There's already a thread for it. Things are going to happen at a breakneck pace. I'm excited even if nothing happens for us.

It's right where? You can't post a link to one article from a credible source to back up what you said about Kyrie and Baynes?

I thought Matthews was making more. Okay that makes sense.

Honestly if we could get Serge for the MLE, that would be a major coup even if we can't get Harden.
