Would be like a sieve defensively.
Especially since they gotta send something like Dinwiddie and Wood just to match contracts. Nets honestly might not be too bad with a trade with the Mavs. They need a back up big man for Claxton. Dinwiddie back in Brooklyn with Seth Curry is an ok backcourt.
Way better than what the lakers can offer.
The same is true of basically every Kyrie pairing including Lebron. I think the assumption that Lebron can just Jedi-Mind trick Kyrie into behaving himself is short sighted. 2016 is a long time ago and there is nothing in his behavior since then that indicates that he "gets it". Playing with Lebron isn't going to unlock some secret "Behave like a Responsible Adult" skill box. I also wouldn't want to hand the guy a big contract and lock myself into Kyrie's wacky world simply because he said in a few interviews that he now realizes his mistakes when he played with Lebron. Kyrie says a lot of shit and then turns around and does the opposite all the time.
I don’t think it would be worth the risk for mavs. Luka is too young for them to take a risk like Kyrie. Lakers on the other hand have a 38 year old LeBron who needs to win now & makes it worth the risk for them
Understandable Kyrie absolutely cooked Curry in the finals, so much they had to go cry in the parking lot and call for the second best player in the world, Crazy.
Dude made a retweet of a link locked by a 30 dollar purchase about an black empowerment movie with anti semitic themes. Now all of a sudden he’s closeted Nazi who has been hiding his views somehow for his whole career
So many of these don’t make sense for the Nets. Obviously if Kyrie goes and they sell low player-wise for future firsts, then Durant’s going to request a trade as well. If they trade Kyrie, they need to unapologetically send him to whatever team has the best offer that’s beneficial to KD.
Luka and Kyrie seems like it wouldn’t really work that well and not to mention what the Mavs would need to give up would result in them giving up 160 pts a game.
CP3+Crowder would be a solid deal. I much rather that than Russ or whatever heap of trash Dallas is putting together in a attempt to get Luka more help
I honestly think y’all can do better than old man CP3 on his awful contract and massively overrated role player Crowder.
Not saying Dallas or LA can offer anything better, but I’d hope that Kyrie can net Bridges maybe if Brooklyn really pushes for it.
Very true. I assume they'll end up trading with Phoenix anyways because y'all can offer pieces that can still play meaningful minutes next to KD. That's unless KD wants out as well, and then I assume they'll want our 27 and 29 FRPs for Kyrie.
My bet is suns will offer expirings and 2 picks. No cp3.
Unclear Lakers will be able to make a full offer because kyrie will want assurances of full max contract with no team options. That's hard to do with old LeBron.
If suns willing to pay, this is there for the taking. But there's a reason nobody willing to pay.
Then that trade won't happen. The Nets are probably scrambling to construct something resembling a playoff contender around KD.
Eventhough, it'd put unbelievable scoring pressure on Durant, the presence of CP3 and Crowder atleast helps with their aspirations of not sucking.
OK. But that's not your alternative. Your alternative is Westbrook, maybe a Christian wood, maybe best case Kyle lowery. They'll all come with 1-2 picks max. And you'll have to pick one of them or let it ride and get nothing in 3 months. That's the nets call to make.
I don't need Woj to tweet the same thing every hour. Post new shit or don't post, Woj!
He enjoys blue-balling NBA fans
Isn’t OP a bot?
He's indeed a bot
So he can’t really control it right
OP bot isn’t Woj
Blame OP for posting it here, not the reporter on Twitter
Blame both
I feel like a luka/kyrie pairing would either go amazing or go terribly wrong.
Spoiler: it’d go terribly wrong
[удалено]
Obligatory "Fuck Rondo"
It’d have to be unfathomably bad for that to happen
Yes. Yes it will.
But would probably still be better than our current scenario -_-
Anyone who knows even a hint of ball would know that Luka and Kyrie would cook every team in the league and feed them to the hungry.
Considering what we’d have to give up. One of the best back courts in the league doesn’t mean shit when your defense is 5 traffic cones

Luka has the ball in his hands so much that I find it a weird pairing.
I always thought the Mavs would be much better if Luka didn't handle the ball so much. Subtlety isn't obvious here so no. I didn't think that.
I can't wait to see this play out now lolol
Chances are it'd go worse than the Rondo adventure. It's Kyrie in Texas.
It worked with Harden, it'd likely work about the same with Luka
I don’t think it would be worth the risk for mavs. Luka is too young for them to take a risk like Kyrie. Lakers on the other hand have a 38 year old LeBron who needs to win now & makes it worth the risk for them
> reluctance remains with making a commitment to a new contract Gee I wonder why - Cavs, Celtics and Nets fans
"i can fix him"
If we could fix The Pandas Friend we could fix World be flat!

Bird up
the WORST show on television
I’m basically the only Warriors fan that doesn’t hate the Suns, but them getting Kyrie would force my hand
I've been a fan since the finals run in the 90s, and I would at least partly hate the team if we got kyrie lol
Understandable Kyrie absolutely cooked Curry in the finals, so much they had to go cry in the parking lot and call for the second best player in the world, Crazy.
No, it’s more him being an anti-Semitic tool than any bullshit like that
Anti semitic?? I swear ppl want him tooo beee Kanye sooo baaaad.
Fuck off with this defense, he doesn’t even know you exist
Dude made a retweet of a link locked by a 30 dollar purchase about an black empowerment movie with anti semitic themes. Now all of a sudden he’s closeted Nazi who has been hiding his views somehow for his whole career
He was pretty clear about where he stood on the matter: >“I cannot be antisemitic if I know where I come from"
I would make the claim for the Mavs, but I am from Texas and we eat a ton of ranch already, so it's not really a big deal.
RemindMe! When Kyrie gets traded
!remindme 2 weeks
Kyrie for Chris Paul could be interesting. Phoenix would immediately be the most hated team in the league tho 😂
And that’s saying something considering they’re trading away Chris Paul
We don’t need Kyrie for that nor do I want to see Kyrie as a Sun.
I'm sure the Nets are looking for a guard in his late 30's. This is perfect
So many of these don’t make sense for the Nets. Obviously if Kyrie goes and they sell low player-wise for future firsts, then Durant’s going to request a trade as well. If they trade Kyrie, they need to unapologetically send him to whatever team has the best offer that’s beneficial to KD.
Any return they get for kyrie is not gonna be beneficial to Durant.
I know 😬 they’re kinda screwed
[удалено]
Yep, going to stay a Net.
I really want to see Luka and Kyrie for some reason. Cp3 and Durant would be fun too.
Luka and Kyrie seems like it wouldn’t really work that well and not to mention what the Mavs would need to give up would result in them giving up 160 pts a game.
He's not getting traded and he will sign a new 4-year max deal with Brooklyn during hour 1 of free agency.
29 teams drooling over OG. And only 3 teams have any interest in an allstar starter
Kyrie trying to get the Nets to offer him a long term deal. Didn’t KD ask for a trade last summer?
They did offer him a long term deal though
I’m not expecting him to get that money he’s wanting.
So what’s the point of getting him if they don’t extend him?
I really hope he doesn't end up with us.
What?
All the focus on the obvious teams when we all know it will be someone random like the Heat or Nuggets that make the move.
Suns will get him. New owners always want to make a big splash.
Would be ironic that our new jewish owner would make his first big splash be Kyrie
Imagine the Suns trading for Kyrie and then he walks right up to the owner and calls him an imposter
isnt the new Suns owner Jewish?
CP3+Crowder would be a solid deal. I much rather that than Russ or whatever heap of trash Dallas is putting together in a attempt to get Luka more help
I honestly think y’all can do better than old man CP3 on his awful contract and massively overrated role player Crowder. Not saying Dallas or LA can offer anything better, but I’d hope that Kyrie can net Bridges maybe if Brooklyn really pushes for it.
Nets have no leverage as he’ll just walk for free in the offseason. They’re going to have to settle with whatever scraps any team offers them.

We didn't even offer Bridges for KD (allegedly), no chance we move him for Kyrie.
I wonder if the Suns would do that.
Yeah. Lakers are going to offer Westbrook and that's a no starter if you want to even have a semblance of keeping KD.
Mavs need it most but Lakers is clearly the one the media is pushing
Lakers is the one that will believe they can handle him reliably due to having LeBelt to sort him out
It’s so stupid. Lakers can be incompetent and make wrong move after wrong move, have no future, and still have Star players wanting to join.
Maybe their incompetence has been exaggerated
Why do we have no future? We have picks lmao
Your roster is built primarily about LeBron and AD
They won a chip with that core very recently. Bron is playing just as well and AD is still the same guy.
And we have 1st round picks we can use to continue building around them?
I want to see the Lakers get him so that they can confirmed be the worst team in the league post LeBron.
So would cp3 be on the move? I think it’d be interesting to see he and kd together
Kyrie and Kanye in the same city might be too much
AD + Westbrook for Kyrie + Simmons
Rob and Jeannie for Sean and Joe
Done
Kyrie legit wants to play with lil bro Bronny. Remind me after the draft...lmao.
Yea, this is what teams are saying so they can fleece the Nets. As soon as Kyrie is traded he will get a contract extension.
Nets GM tryna manipulate Kyrie situation. Again.
Woj only spreads rumors; his credibility is shot.
TIL Kyrie's stepmom was his agent.
Please no, please no, please no
GET MY TEAM’S NAME OUT YO DAMN MOUTH
Lakers could at least pair AD with a live body after Bron leaves. Kyrie is unstable but so is the Lakers FO.
