what can the Nets realistically get for Kyrie? 

Post#1 » by Ugalde » Sun Oct 17, 2021 1:20 pm

i have a feeling he won’t be dealt and he’ll just get his vaccine after he’s made his “point” but if the Nets were to decide to trade him what would they get?

my cousin is convinced they’d get nothing of value but i feel like as long as he was dealt to a team where the vaccine isn’t mandatory which is most teams, why wouldn’t they get a decent return?

He would probably just retire over getting traded. He has the money and prob would move onto things beyond basketball. It's just strange to see it in a player in his prime.

Nets would need a deal to get back lost picks from Harden trade

He'll get the vaccine before the playoffs and be healthy the rest of it because he sat out most of the season.

Before the playoffs? Why would team accept him back if he got it lets say 2 weeks prior to playoffs? Just to disturb their chemistry and suddenly disappear to one of his zoom meetings. No, I don't think Nets take him back at that point anymore.

As Rockets representative

We'll offer John Wall & Danuel House.

Then if he doesn't retire
Any team can have him for 3 1at Rd picks and expirings or 2 year contracts.

They'd take him back. It's Kyrie and they won't want to have a huge chunk of their cap sitting during the playoffs if he has made himself available. Being back in any capacity is better than nothing, even just showing up to hand out gatorade is better. It also doesn't have to be 2 weeks to the playoffs. If he gets the vaccine at any point from november to april he has already saved himself at least one month of regular season wear and tear. An advantage given his piss poor injury history in the playoffs.

Kyrie tripled down on not taking the vaccine. Hasnt even left himself the room of "ill wait and get more data on it" or some chit. Just straight up "im not taking it stance".

Not saying it's impossible for him to do a JKidd 360 degrees, but Kyrie seems like the stubborn type, and he's still getting paid 18 mill this year and next, so it's not destroying his pockets atm.

He's going to at some point make a huge realisation that unless he's ready to sit out his whole career he'll have to take it eventually or retire. He has the next 4-6 months to reach this conclusion. It's even surprising he hasn't already.

eh, we'll see. Dude not even giving himself room with the "ill wait and see" approach and being a hardliner is worrying. And dude seems like a man of conviction, even if the topic of that conviction is dumb.

Tobias Harris. Nets get a nice third option who fits well. Sixers get off that horrible contract (a win even if Kyrie retires) and can gamble on Kyrie showing up and playing well, which would make them a contender.

Not like the Sixers have any other paths back to contention beyond Morey's nightly ritual of packing a cute little toy suitcase for his Dame Lillard voodoo doll.

He alredy confirmed he's not retiring.
A Simmons-Irving swap makes so much sense.

I can imagine a lot of the trades offers are going to fall flat.

On paper, this would be awesome. In reality, a team with an unhappy Ben Simmons and unstable Kyrie Irving implodes in 2 months. Philly cannot afford the baggage that Kyrie Irving comes with, unfortunately.

Kyrie whisperer David Griffin should be all over this. Pels have some nice roleplayers too that could help KD/Harden.

Even if he goes to a state without vax requirements, he'll just find another reason to be a headcase. He literally said his job is to "inspire & influence" people, he believes he's ascended just being a basketball player.

He probably opts on his last year of the contract so you're just trading for this year. Given all the headaches & it's only for this year and you have to give up $35M of salaries which would have to include decent players (you can't cobble together $35M of 2nd round scrubs), there's almost no value whatsoever.

Nets get more better than the Sixers. Given that theyre competitors, cant imagine the Sixers would go for that
