They are not getting Siakam. We are talking Mo Bamba, Gary Harris, Jarred Vanderbilt, Malik Beasley, Dario Saric, Jae Crowder type of players with our assets.
The window is NOW. It´s not next season. It´s now.So might as well trade everything in the next three days.
There is a reasonable chance >50% that the egomaniac Kyrie Irving will behave until he inked that 200/4 extension.
AFTER he signs that deal, ALL bets are off.
Now think about the fact that the Nets wanted three firsts for 36 year old CP3´s contract (62/2 after this season). That teams want two 1st round picks (plus two rotational players) for Westbrook´s EXPIRING 50M contract.
Now I let you figure out what the return would look like, when Kyrie goes home in early 2024 and demands a trade. He´s 32 years old, worst personality reputation in the league and sits on over $150M remaining. LOL. The trade value is worse than Bertans/McGee combined. Completely untradeable. $50M in dead money every year.
Luka is done here the moment, Kyrie throws his first hissy-fit. And if you don´t think Kyrie only cares about Kyrie you have not been paying attention for the last decade.
Now that I typed it out and you can quote me on the bolded part, when it happens, I have come to the conclusion that him leaving, possibly in a S&T for Hachimura + Lakers 1st round pick is the better outcome. Though I doubt there is a single team stupid enough to even offer him the 200/4, besides the Mavs. And the Mavs have to offer it, cause otherwise he´ll have an irrational meltdown that could range from retirement, China to Real Madrid, the Detroit Pistons or the Lakers on the minimum.
