Nothing will top the work he did on First Take yesterday and the memes that followed

Anybody that watched a Jazz game last year would know that flipping Royce O'Neale for a 1st round pick, any 1st round pick, is a steal by the Jazz. O'Neale, at best, should only be playing 15 minutes a game. You can't rely on him on offense, and he's not as good as a defensive player as the Jazz would like you to think he is.

Oh that was a terrible trade.

I think Windhorst was just alluding to the Goebert trade likely being finalized but he just couldn't announce it yet so he went into that rambling diatribe.

Right and did so in an amazing way that has provided much joy to the internet.

So Harden and Durant just didn't want to deal with Kyrie? Lol

Raptors suddenly surging in the betting odds to land KD.

What's going on in Toronto?

[Chris2K]

If he goes to the 76ers I am really looking forward to what the 76ers could possibly have that would be enough as a trade bargain.

If you need any indication of KD's character, one of the main reasons he wants to leave is because he blames the Nets for not allowing Kyrie to play half of last year. Not the selfish prick who wouldn't get vaccinated, the team that respected the laws of the state they play in. He's also going to be traded before he even starts the 4 year extension he signed in August last year.

Thybulle/Maxey, Tobias Harris, and picks would go to Brooklyn. But I can't possibly seeing that being the best offer they get. Unless KD says "Philly or bust" it won't happen.

[Pooker]

Whatever is going to happen, needs to happen ASAP so that the rest of the off season can get moving.

[DMN in the House]

We're going to trade Russ for Kyrie?

Watched a little bit of Chet Holmgren tonight during the SLC summer league. He definitely has the offensive game to compete, but he is going to get bullied playing defense.

[Twist]

He’s get bullied by a light breeze.

I missed Jeanie Buss going scorched earth on someone - probably LeBron but possibly Westbrook or Kyrie. This is incredible from a team governor.

 

[Maxx]

If you wanted someone who put team over self, you never should have signed LeBron James.

Jeannie looks unhinged in her profile picture.

Thinking about a pending Durant trade and how the Nets have imploded makes me wonder about how that would all be different if Durant's foot hadn't been on the line against the Bucks in Game 7 last year

It seems the Wolves might have blown up KD's trade plans. Our ridiculous haul of players and picks for Gobert has the Nets wanting even more than that for KD, and nobody is remotely interested in offering it.

Why would anybody in the NBA give up anything of value for KD? He's never shown the willingness to stay anywhere and there's no guarantee that you wouldn't trade your future for a 2 year KD rental. The Wolves got a haul for a guy that will stay loyal to them, is a total class act off the court, and deserves a haul. As great a player as KD is, he hasn't shown any of that.
