CWood21 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 12 hours ago, NYRaider said: How does moving Kyrie for nothing in return help them make the playoffs exactly? That move by itself? Nothing. But potentially as apart of another deal. Let's take your deal and simplify it. Brooklyn Nets Receive: '23 FRP Pick Swap (via LAL, after New Orleans) '24/'25 FRP Pick Swap (via LAL, after New Orleans defers or doesn't defer) '26 Pick Swap (via LAL) '28 Pick Swap (via LAL) Los Angeles Lakers Receive: PG Kyrie Irving SG Josh Richardson San Antonio Spurs Receive: PG Russell Westbrook '27 FRP (via LAL, Top 3 Protected) In that particular deal, the Nets get a giant $36.9M TPE which gives the Nets a TON of flexibility to add more players without having to give up any picks. That combined with a potential Kevin Durant deal would give the Nets a HUGE TPE and a TON of draft picks to maneuver with. If you're able to make the BKN/PHX/UTA deal work where Donovan Mitchell and Mykal Bridges comes to Brooklyn as well as a ton of picks and you have that cap flexibility to add to that core. That's probably a fringe playoff team, and you've got a TON of flexibility to make moves beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't think the team with the #1 pick adds Durant and becomes an instant contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're trading for Donovan they also have to find a third team to take Ben Simmons and likely will have to attach picks to move him. Not to mention basically all the draft capital that they'd be getting from Phoenix would be rerouted to Utah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDez Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Flexsiah has spoken. Too bad Ayton couldn’t be a ~15% better player so he’d either be worth the max or more attractive in a trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was, along with Ayton, but reportedly we have no interest in Ayton, he's likely headed to Indiana. Donovan and the team were reportedly meeting early today and then it came out that he's not going to ask for a trade and we've shut down discussions with other teams.

Are you not seeing Capela to Phx or you don’t think they’d get rid of him? With Murray and Hunter needing new deals within two years I think they’d swap the Collins/Capela contracts for Ayton.
