[WOJ/SHAMS] 4 Way Blockbuster, Harden to BK, Prince and Allen to Cavs, Oladipo, Exum, Picks to Hou, Levert to Ind

[The_Ghost_of_JB]

They pretty much got Harden for free because those pick won't amount to much because the team will be so good. plus Brooklyn doesn't need picks when they have people that are always willing to sign there

That’s what Brooklyn thought when they traded for KG and Paul Pierce.

They were older than dirt. Irving KG and Harden are in their primes. Those picks are going to be late 20s

[Braggins]

What is Indiana doing?

Getting a nice replacement for a guy who was almost certainly leaving them after his contract expires this year.

[zeebneeb]

I'll eat my hat(it's a nice Pistons hat)if Brooklyn even makes it to the finals with this horrible "team" they have assembled. I'll then eat my shoes if they win a title with it.

Just thinking about match ups with various teams and they are going to be heavily exploited in certain positions, and they have zero answers. I just don't get it. Seems desperate.

[Mk0]

The Cavs involvement in this is wild to me.

The Rockets would essentially rather the Bucks 22 1st and Rodions Kurucs instead of Allen and Prince. Allen and Wood should be a pretty decent fit I'd think, but I guess they would just rather the cap flexibility.

I guess Boogie isn't going anywhere.
Wood was on the Woj Pod and said how Wall/Cousins had great chemistry so I guess Houston is committing to it.

[Adam1221]

As a Nets fan I think Im gonna vomit.
I honestly think we took a step backwards THIS YEAR our future now looks like a hemorrhoid.

[Beethoven]

KD, Kyrie, and Harden. Book the championship parade.

Definitely. Guaranteed champions. i suggest strongly you liquidate all your assets and your childrens' souls and bet on the nets. YOULL WIN BIG GUARANTEED

[RyderMike]

Imagine being a scout for the Nets. No picks ever

[lars_rosenberg]

Levert is a bum, I like allen but centers are easy replacable in this league.

Even if the nets stink in three years they still are in new york and they could atract some free agents so who cares.
If i was a nets fan I will be thrilled.

It didn't work out for the Knicks. Why would for the Nets?

[NyKnicks1714]

A couple of other takeaways:

KD's MVP chances are likely gone

Kyrie is now the third option for the first time in his career. Let's see how he deals with that.

[benson13]

Brooklyn should be fine as long as the Warriors don't get to the Finals. Curry has historically owned Harden's vagina.

[Hello Brooklyn]

Nets honestly didn't give up that much.

Just Levert, Allen, Prince and some picks?

Lakers/Clippers basically gave up the same amount of picks to get Davis/George.

Its not the perfect fit, but you just have to stagger Kyrie and Harden's minutes.

For defense you can start Bruce Brown.

I can't believe Houston couldn't find a way to get Simmons in the deal.

The biggest question is Center. Jordan has to be better or maybe you start Green there instead.

Kyrie
Brown
Harden
KD
Jordan

Closing lineup you put in Green at the 5.

Also Nets can just sign a decent starting Center if they feel like Jordan is that bad. They still have a 5 million dollar exception I believe.

Center is the easiest position to fill. Warriors were starting freaking Zaza and the Lakers got away with Dwight lol.

[Patches Perry]

Nets are going to be must watch. Of course the question everybody is wondering is whether their defense/rebounding will be good enough, and whether having 3 brilliant ball dominant offensive players will yield diminishing returns.

I always thought the 2010-2014 Heat would have been much better with a couple of quality support players rather than Bosh. Same goes for the 2015-2018 Cavs with Love. Same with the prospect of the Lakers grabbing Kawhi. The 3rd superstar is where you start seeing diminishing returns imo, especially if their skillsets overlap quite a bit.

I think Durant and Kyrie, plus a group of quality support players would be pretty scary. All the offense you can handle, plus some quality roleplayers. Thinning out your defense, rebounding and depth for a 3rd brilliant offensive player is bold. I guess we'll see how it works out.

[JN61]

Major. I'm not sure if this is good to them though. They totally lose their depth and Harden has proven he can't play but ball in his hand.

Also doesn't solve their defensive issues.

[TdotRap4Lyfe]

I'm confused why Houston chose to trade Levert for Oladipo, he is young and on a long term deal.

[HoopsterJones]

Your insecurity is showing bruh.

[SerialChiller]

So Kyrie, Durant and now Harden....all star players i despise, hope these clowns fail miserably! They dont deserve to win.

[nitocobola]

Levert is a bum, I like allen but centers are easy replacable in this league.

Even if the nets stink in three years they still are in new york and they could atract some free agents so who cares.
If i was a nets fan I will be thrilled.

It didn't work out for the Knicks. Why would for the Nets?

Are we really comparing the nets and the knicks? There's a reason why KD and irving decided to go to the nets

Of course that no one cares about the nets in new york, well maybe now they do But that's not the point.

[TroubleS0me]

Rockets won

[Mk0]

Imagine being a scout for the Nets. No picks ever

Easiest job in the NBA
