Fwiw I had faith in KD. Nets sport science is top shelf. Former socceroos campaigner.

You know who could be a good play maker off the bench? Kyrie irving

THey were?

 

[Marcel Proust]

Agreed, but there is zero chance in hell that is happening

They will start harden and irving , then stagger them for most of the game.

So kyrie will essentially be playing with 2nd unit..

Irving. Brown/shamet. Tlc. 4. Clayton.

That said harden played 40mins just then and the 2nd most after lowry last season.

 

[peternorth]

Bacon overcooks it

 

[Elmer_Judd]

That’s what I’m saying

I’d be looking at any which way to offload him

Wouldn't surprise me at all if he ends up reunited with LeBron at The LAL.

Doubt any other contenders would touch him tbh.

 

[Marcel Proust]

If Harden can gel like this for the rest of the season, do the Nets really need Kyrie back? Been a very impressive debut for Brooklyn.

They don't need him but it would be pretty bloody nice third option.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if he ends up reunited with LeBron at The LAL.

Why would brooklyn make themselves weaker and la better significantly? Would surprise me

 

[peternorth]

lol the ref said new jersey

 

[Marcel Proust]

I'm on team kyrie irving but ibaka or Westbrook trade would be nice for old times sake.

Ben is playing like absolute poop today

 

[Richard Cranium]

Durant's bald patch is seriously captivating.

Are you Philly fans ready to admit that Jaylen Brown has gone past Simmons yet ?

 

[NSWCROW]

Geez those Nets stats read like 2 blokes lobbing them out and comparing sizes

 

[Memphis]

Pistons about to win their first away game.

Have a sneaky suspicion that the Bulls threw the game away against OKC yesterday.

Mobley would be a nice fit at chicago

Cade obviously be handy anywhere

Iirc dubs get the twolves pick. If they finish outside bottom 3

Why would LAL want him though. And that's disregarding the price.

 

[fidstar]

Also, LeBron is miles in front in the (way too early) MVP race.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Cause he is much better than their other smalls?

Irving. Ad. Lebron. Is much better than ad and lebron.

The lakers are probably a bit worried about the brooklyn superteam. Nets could have a very solid roster post trade/buy out periods.

Not the best player in his team let alone mvp

Kd, Giannis, embiid etc. > Lebron

Lakers are comfortable favorite at the moment. Why would they bring in chaos?

And to get to Kyrie's $33M, they would have to completely pull apart their team.

Would be a terrible move.

Are you watching much LAL at the moment? Davis is off to a slow start (for him).

LeBron is easily their best player this year.

Kd, Giannis, embiid etc. > Lebron

Not in the MVP race.

Joker is actually the only guy I think that is close (now I think more about it). And their record would preclude him anyway.

Well to be fair, the only playing environment where Kyrie has not gotten off the rails is with LeBron.

Trading Kuzma, Caruso and a couple of other eexpiring picks and contracts for Kyrie would actually be mutually beneficial to both teams..

Or just send him to Philly for a similar deal they offered for Harden, Christ knows they need a shooter lol

To be fair, Kyrie went off the rails while playing with LeBron.

I am surprised by the odds.

I wonder how much of it is due to the west looking quite weak outside not kawhi and PG. The lakers have a clean run it seems to the final.

The nets have to contend with a very decent east; Giannis. Embiid. Tatum etc.

I reckon the narrative is underestimate brooklyn a bit if irving comes good. I expect their roster will look more balanced come deadline day

I wonder if lebron is a bit scared of kd and friends again like the kd warriors?

Still won them the championship
