Kyrie and Jimmy would be a disaster as teammates I would love to see it happen

if KD really wants him back, he'll be back...the owners don't really have much leverage. If KD doesn't (and despite his sourpuss tude on twitter...i think KD just wants to ball), then he will be gone and KD will simply go out there with Benny Boi and the gang.

Would be funny if Kyrie goes LA and Westbrook goes Brooklyn.

Lebron-Kyrie and KD-Westbrook

A starting lineup with Westbrook and Simmons would be brutal!

Wouldn't be opposed to trading Harris for Kyrie.

But how would that help the Nets? You would have to send something they want with Harris like Maxey or a couple FRPs to get that deal done. Also, what is the relationship with Harden? Isn't he part of the reason why he wanted out of NJ?

I'm not sure he'd be that expensive given his baggage. There's a risk factor/cost of doing business attached to Kyrie that keeps his value in check.

I think the Nets would have a really hard time getting any value for Kyrie if it came down to a trade. Can’t convincingly demand a couple FRPs for a player you don’t trust enough to give a contract.

If I'm the GM for the Nets I would prefer to just let Kyrie leave to another team than to trade him for Tobias. Harris is a negative asset. I like Harris as a person and I think he is a good player but his contract is horrible!

Publicly, at least from Kyrie's perspective they seem to be fine.

"Everybody has their own visions starting off their careers and ending their careers. If that's what James wanted, then I respect his decision and that's just what it is. I wish him nothing but peace and love. We have a great friendship, but it didn't work out. I wish things could have been communicated better for all of us as men, but hey, no hard feelings here with me or anyone else."

You'd trade a bad player for good one?

Shocked.

Completely prepared to go into next season as Rockets East + Maxey + Embiid

Damn. Too bad all those dudes are 5 years too old now.

Tucker will literally snap in half if we sign him.

Also, I hate signing him unless we're trading Tobias.

I'm guessing it would be something like:

Rockets get:

Thybulle
Korkmaz
Green

Sixers get:

Gordon
Martin

Don't love it...

Also, Tucker opted out because he wants a raise from his 7.5 mil contract. Sixers can only offer less than that as a taxpayer. Miami can offer 10.5 mil along with a few other teams like Memphis and TOR.

I'll take Eric Gordon if it's just salary and a disappointing youngster like Thybulle. Would not trade them #23 for Gordon at his age and his poor conditioning.
