2022 NBA Offseason Thread: Preseason kicks off; Things are fine in Los Angeles, Draymond beats the charges

Bruhhhh if KD and Kyrie go to the Clippers lawwddddd plz don’t

wut

 

[pmatic]

Yes

Russ
Harris
Bridges
PF
Ayton

Is a great starting point along with 4 first rounders from PHX and 1 2027 first rounder from LA. Not to mention what you can get for a healthy Simmons. At least 2 first rounders.

Don't think Simmons has any trade value at the moment.

Maybe they buy-out Westbrick and just roll with Ayton, Bridges, Simmons and role players?

 

[casper90403]

What assets?
Tyler and Duncan?

Lol

2 draft picks only. 2027 and 2029

And two white boys.


No they don’t.

I was thinking Butler would be involved.

But realistically, I'm just trying to talk myself into not seeing KD on the Suns!

Windhorst on ESPN:

“If [Durant and Kyrie] would be kept together, the Lakers would potentially have a package that you can trade for both of them.

We don’t know, it’s too fragile, because we just don’t know where KD and Kyrie are, if they’re still interested in [playing] together … after seeing them together, there’s almost no team with options would do it. But, the Lakers don’t have options. So, that’s the only place I heard was possible, but we don’t have the information to know.”

I don’t want him in suns either.

I think the whole appeal of Miami is to play with butler and bam

KD wants to win.

The real Westbrook and the Australian one on the same team ?

What can Ayton do that Javale McGee aka plumber chip era Bill 2.0 cant?

allows your team to play any defensive scheme. only 23 can still improve

Rob: hey you want Russ and ad and tht and 2 firsts for KD and kyrie
BKN: no

ESPN: Omg there are rumors of KD and kyrie to la!!!!

The Nets should of have know better.

They asked for this BS.

They knew they were signing to fragile and sensitive dudes .... once they started giving you **** about Nash, they should of have back tracked and find another coach.

That was the start .....

 

[shuges]

Make it a multiple team trade and start with bringing KAT home to BK, Ayton to Minny. Squeeze Bridges plus some picks for the Nets as well.

Bridges and KAT playing with Simmons plus 4 1st round picks (3 from PHX and 1 from MIN) is a good START as far as negotiations go.

 

[rolaholic]

Y’all think Skip hit the blunt?

Spoiler: Absolutely

 

[DLF]

Simmons would be traded.
Also I am making assumption that kyrie demands trade to laker or else threatens mental health break lol. Which would make Russ and 2027 first rounder a steal for kyrie at that point.

bridges might not even play this season

CLEAN SWEEP for the Owners next CBA.

Owners getting ready to smoke that Players Pack.

Knicks been hoarding money for years, folks gotta stop worrying about their pockets.

We all knew Brunson was gonna get paid after the playoffs
Folks only laughing because it's the Knicks paying him
If Dallas gave him that money there'd be congrats all around

To clarify I don't think we should've given him that money but comparatively it's not a lot for a starting PG in this league

You're right. Not nearly as appealing without Jimmy.

Random thought. But I feel like Jon Lovitz hosting an NBA Free Agency special would be funny.
Not sure why I thought this. But Jon Lovitz + this chaos would be GOLD

Thanks, Ben Simmons
