I think BKN will at best get usable players and possibly GIVE up assets to get those usable players. And now we can stop repeating ourselves and see how it unfolds.

Yeah, some team(s) are going to make bank on this Lakers/Nets trainwreck, but I´m sure it´s not going to be Cuban. It´s just not in the Mavs DNA. RE: TRADE & FA: Mavs interested in Nerlens? Collins?

But perhaps Nico can use the trust he has built with players over the years to say something like: With respect, you're not seeing it, fully. You know who Kyrie's uncle is? Rod Strickland, one of the first players ever to get obscenely wealthy in the NBA and then totally stop trying. One of the OG "money stealers" if you will. That's Kyrie's role model, all his life. This is not a matter of trust. This is a matter of a conman, a truly evil person, trying to trick someone into giving him one more huge, guaranteed deal so he can go right back to finding excuses to miss road trips, not play, and generally be one of the worst teammates in league history. Whoever invented the term "team cancer" was describing Kyrie Irving, they just didn't know it at the time. He's asking for a trade now because he has realized the Nets aren't going to fall for it this time, despite him doing his job for a full 3-weeks. (Wow!) This is about Kyrie and his agent finding a mark who's too stupid to avoid being his last victim. This isn't something "relationships" can fix, because at the end of the day, this is not a serious person worth any kind of investment, whatsoever.

What I'm describing is EXACTLY what Dallas did with Porzingis, who hadn't even played a game for them yet. They told him they were going to max him when they could and then they did it. I think you're burying the lede in this video, Killer. At 10:50 in Windhorst picks his nose. At 14:00 he eats it. THIS is far more riveting than thinking about how Kyrie would destroy the Mavs. RE: TRADE & FA: Mavs interested in Nerlens? Collins? Bojan?

LeBron has controlled him before. Two year extension lines up with the Bron/Davis window (and Luka free agency, I kid ). I think the Kyrie to Lakers with extension has mutually been agreed upon for months. They just haven´t found a 3rd team for Westbrook yet that can make it worthwhile for the Nets. That´s what this basically comes down to imho. RE: TRADE & FA: Mavs interested in Nerlens? Collins? Bojan?

B) Even if so, that's STILL better than the situation they'll be in if they do what you think they'll do. What they'd GET is not having to do a deal like what you're describing, which is obvious. You want them to trade Kyrie Irving, who's distressed, sure, but not on a longterm hamstring of a deal, along WITH assets, for some bad contracts and a couple of good role players? Nope. They're smarter than that. Kyrie walking (away from a player in Durant who I believe will be excited to see him go) is not worse than that. It's just not. And, I bet they'll get something small (but positive) for facilitating, as I said. C) Do they even HAVE picks to trade? Houston owns that franchise for years, yeah?

Seriously? Oh hell yes, I take that road long before I take back Bertans and pay pick(s) for the privilege. When both Durant and Irving are healthy this season, it's working. They're one of the better stories of the season. And again, I think this is 100% about his bird rights and him wanting a 4-year-MAX. I think that a team WILL give that to him, and they'll either have to pay a trade cost now to make it easier or something small to get around the cap over the summer. They're not PAYING a team to take him. That's not BETTER than losing him for nothing.

Seriously? Answered this one too fast, sorry. I think they'd love to turn Irving into those players, but not nearly enough to PAY for the privilege. Irving is the payment. Period.

The problem is not Kyrie walking. In a vacuum that´s fine, but it´s about Durant. If Irving walks in the off-season, Durant becomes a 35 year old stuck on a team with Simmons, Harris, O´Neale, Claxton, Mills and no assets/capspace to upgrade the team. What you think teams will be willing to give up for Kyrie in a summer S&T with a Durant trade request looming over any deal. Not exactly a position of strength for the Nets.

Isn’t that what a negotiation looks like. You ask for the moon. I counter asking for the stars and sky. I think Dallas can walk away if they don’t get what they want. You seem to think they won’t be able to help themselves and are destined to make a bad deal. I think the question here is what are we competing against. It is a two part question. If it is Us vs. LAL, part one is the contract going forward. Is LAL willing to trade for him ‘naked’? In other words, give up the assets needed on the hope Kyrie will sign this summer. I sure wouldn’t. I would predict no one is doing this on a long term basis and so FG’s S&T for 2/$79mm is likely an even playing field. I just can’t see anyone hitching their wagon to Irving for longer than that ESPECIALLY since such a hitching can’t be agreed to now. So, what is the talent LA has to offer? It won’t be RW and two picks. As you’ve noted, Brooklyn wants to win now. It will have to involve a third team. Someone has to want the LA picks, be willing to take RW for a few months and have some assets to give away. Utah is the logical place. I’ll presume Conley, Vanderbilt and one of the scoring guards (Clarkson, Beasley or Sexton)…no picks. So, let’s compare. SD vs. Conley? I know who I’d take if it were 2018, but for this year and next, it is close. DFS vs. Guard? Brooklyn already has plenty of no-D scorers. It is why they don’t want THJ. So, I’m not sure they’d particularly value Clarkson, Beasley or Sexton. DFS fits so perfectly into the Claxton, Durant, DFS front court. I’d think he’d be highly valued. Add SD and one of their floor spacers and they have a starting unit. Does Vandy move the needle. Probably not. He can’t be played with Claxton or Simmons. I think we have just as competitive an offer as LA can make using pieces from Utah. I think we have a core of a deal. I certainly wouldn’t add Green or a pick if I’m giving up DFS and Dinwiddie. In fact, I think I’ve improved your chances by converting Irving into two very useful players. I’m with Kamm, I want something back in such a deal. Their 2023 pick is probably their best asset. I don’t believe that line of thinking is that far off. RE: TRADE & FA: Mavs interested in Nerlens? Collins? Bojan?

To be clear on my position: 1) I do not think they will have to pay to get someone to take Kyrie to the same extent LAL would have to pay to get someone to take Westbrook. 2) I think Kyrie likely can be turned into "usable players" (as I have said above). 3) I think the MORE "usable players" you include then they would have to add picks to the scenario. 4) With that all said, I think it is MORE LIKELY they have to PAY to get rid of Kyrie than they will get PAID for someone to take him off their hands. But that does not mean I think them having to "pay" is most likely. RE: TRADE & FA: Mavs interested in Nerlens? Collins? Bojan?

I don’t believe that line of thinking is that far off. Well, to be clear, I think adding Kyrie Irving to this team even for the rest of this one season, let alone on a 2-years (or longer) extension would be extremely disappointing, regardless of how the deal looks. So there's that part of it. I don't disagree with you, Kamm or Gump on what the Mavs' interest SHOULD be if they don't share my distaste of the idea, but I don't have any faith that it will go down like that. And what scares me is that I think you're right - they really could put together one of the better deals. Far better than LA's, even with those two picks thrown in (which they will be, as far as Dallas knows, for negotatiing purposes). I have a very, very bad feeling about this.

We went YEARS rarely disagreeing about anything. Then came 2022/2023…yikes. Russell Westbrook is bringing the family back together. So I´m landing on two potential trades now... Westbrook + Lakers 1st unprotected to Mavs Irving (+ extension) + Bertans to Lakers Dinwiddie + THJ to the Nets if that is not enough for the Nets then.... Westbrook + Lakers 2027 1st unprotected + Nets 2023 1st unprotected to Mavs Irving (+ extension) + Bertans to Lakers Dinwiddie + DFS + McGee to the Nets I think the Lakers are fine with this and there are enough possible iterations of the Mavs to Nets part to find a trade agreement, which then just hinges on Cuban being willing to take a step back, "lose" the trade now and win it in five months. Maybe Nico can pay Zach Lowe to write a pre-trade A+ grade for Cuban´s ego. RE: TRADE & FA: Mavs interested in Nerlens? Collins? Bojan?

So there's that part of it. I get it. If this is how you feel about KI, then no deal is going to satisfy you. He isn’t my favorite player either. But, I’m also not particularly enthralled with the current state of affairs. Kyrie is quite a talent…maybe good enough to get Luka a ring. Luka/Kyrie/Green/Something/Wood backed up by Powell/Maxi and Reggie? I’m OK with trying and if it doesn’t work, you are fishing in the free agent pool in 2025. The key to me is that “something” spot. I still need that defender who allows Wood to stay off the floor defensively in the playoffs. The reason I’m so interested in the Brooklyn pick is I think it helps us get Mr. Something.
