NYRaider Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Just now, MKnight82 said: Durant is gone. They are heading towards full rebuild unless Durant convinces Kyrie to stay. So honestly their best chance at not rebuilding is not trading Kyrie, Durant convinces him to play the rest of the year and they make a deep run. The Nets have a legitimate chance to get a ring this year, they need to maximize Kyrie's value while they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 The Jazz can take back Russ deal while also offering some combination of Jared Vanderbilt, Kelly Olynyk, Jordan Clarkson, Mike Conley, Talen Horton-Tucker, Rudy Gay, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and/or Collin Sexton.

Conley has actually played well this season but either way we have a variety of players that we could send back in a potential trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any way that the Lakers send out both of those FRPs for Kyrie Irving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's too risky. I could see 1 unprotected. Only way they send 2 is if they both are like top 18 protected or something. I do think, if they really want him, they should make the trade now. They can't afford him this summer unless they once again gut their roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Could Irving's trade request make Durant request a trade again as well? Immediately, not over the summer. Edited February 3, 2023 by seminoles1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKnight82 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 The interesting thing about the Nets too is they will have no motivation to tank. So they will probably want young talented players currently in the league over picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto, Memphis, New Orleans, Phoenix, Portland, GS, OKC. I don't think Denver has what Brooklyn would be looking for, unless Brooklyn just loves MPJ.

Portland (after unprotecting their 2023 pick to Chicago) could build something around Simons. They have a couple other intriguing young players as well.
