As they said in the video I posted, the reason we're talking LAL and Dallas is that they're the two most desperate teams, short on assets, with stars who want to win now.
I don't think this will be a "take the best offer by the deadline" situation. I think it's a deal like a I described or he doesn't get traded. Again.
LAL and DAL are both desperate and potentially stupid front offices. BKN is desperate to try and prey on the dumbest front offices.
Is it possible BKN succeeds? Sure, but I HIGHLY doubt it.
BKN might hang on to him and risk letting him walk this summer. They might. But I bet they DESPERATELY want to be done with Kyrie and show KD they can build a winner. I think BKN is in a MORE desperate situation than DAL (as long as we assume a stable person is running the Mavs). If I was a GM I would play on that desperation and offer BKN a "win-now" package and get assets back from them in return. If they don't bite, so be it, walk away and let them sleep in the Kyrie bed they made for themselves.
