Oladipo and Levert is a wash but why didnt the Rockets take Allen?

Bro they got 3 firsts and 4 swaps. That's quite a bit.

They'll all be 25+ picks that NBA teams trade sometimes just to preserve cap space. These picks 90% of the time are nothing.

Maybe. But the Nets might only have a 1.5 year window. If they can't get to the finals this year or next things could get ugly. KD/Harden/Kyrie are all FAs after next year. It's a team with no leaders and no defense. I like the gamble on the picks.

That is the underrated part of this. We have already seen Harden have somewhat of a fall out with CP and Westbrook over the last 2 years. I would say the odds are pretty high that it happens again. My guess is with Irving who may not be happy as the 3rd fiddle.

Jokers in this thread crowning the Nets. Hilarious.

If Kyrie didn't have his issues, I'd have the Nets as slight favorites.

But he's such a wildcard that you never know.

Well.. I guess he was gone anyway so it's not a bad deal for the Pacers but still..

Even I appreciate Reggie for doing his entire career in Indy. Sucks that this kind of turnover will probably be the Pacers' norm for awhile. I don't blame you for not wanting to buy anything new. These players and the FO don't deserve your patronage beyond mere viewership (and that's if you wanna continue doing that much).

Well I like our FO tbh. They do what they can with the possibilities we've got. KP did an amazing job after he was dealt a horrible hand from Bird. It's more on the players that have no loyalty in them.. and I'm probably unlucky with my choices.. :lol:

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.

you got no1 who can stop AD or Bron

Well technically there are no players in the NBA that are capable of stopping AD or Lebron. However, the Lakers won't be able to trade 3's with a squad of Kyrie/Harden/Harris/KD. The Lakers have a fantastic team and can bully any team in the paint so the only way it looks like you can beat them is to just outscore them and this Nets team looks like they may be able to do it.

The Nets should really see what they can get for Irving. Maybe call the Clippers and offer him up him for Marcus Morris, Zubac and Beverley? It's not the greatest value, but it fills a lot of their holes.

Rockets fans, or really anyone, quick question:

If you're Houston, would you rather have Oladipo or LeVert?

I would've thought LeVert was the play, but maybe Oladipo is more of a sure-thing and/or the age timeline better matches? Or is it just the contract terms for the owner.

PistolPeteJR · Post #472 » by **PistolPeteJR** » Wed Jan 13, 2021 10:46 pm

I wonder if the Lakers now try to make a move for Dipo? They have twist it takes to get it done I think.

He literally tried recruiting Kawhi to join him last year to make a super team!

They have 3 superstars; prioritizing the franchise is excellent. And if the can win a couple championships it's more than worth it.

Smells like the owner wanted this move Marks said he didn't want to mortgage the future.

They're going to dump Oladipo at the end of the year. He's a FA.

Kyrie is going to be pissed about this

But he brought this on himself coupled with Houston overplaying their hand with Philly

Do you really think Lebron would turn his nose up at getting Harden in?

He tried getting Kawhi last season....

People keep saying they should trade Kyrie, but who in their right mind is going to trade anything of value for a guy who is AWOL with no given reason? Especially a guy who it seems has quit on every team he's been on? Demanded out of a contender in Cleveland, left Boston in FA after previously saying publicly that he was staying(and apparently being disliked by most of that locker room), and now is missing in action with Brooklyn.

The evidence suggests this is not a guy you want to put your trust in.

I honestly think we took a step backwards THIS YEAR our future now looks like a hemorrhoid.

I'd be thrilled if I was a Brooklyn fan having Irving, Harden and Durant all in their primes. Who cares about the future The goal is to win titles and you may as well pencil in the nets in the finals the next two or three years.
