This tweet made my head spin lol. It’s weirdly worded.

| Let’s see if Irving really wants to team up with LeBron because that’s awfully a long list of teams he would like to play for .. for someone who has been in contact with LeBron. |

Is this good for us? |
I'm not sure that it makes a lot of sense, but if Kyrie opts in, that's a good thing in my opinion. The possibility of a Westbrook plus picks for Irving trade seems remote, but if it happened, I would rather that it not be a sign and trade deal. He would want a long-term deal.
It also indicates that the idea of him taking the taxpayer MLE was just as wacky as it sounded all along.

The clippers would be beyond foolish to trade PG or KL to land Kyrie; simply because they have extremely strong chemistry. Coach Lue might prefer Kyrie to PG, who knows, but while it might make sense from a talent perspective, it doesn't make much sense for their team build.
Then again, what the heck do i know. |

My prediction: the folks who are saying Westbrook won’t be traded are gonna end up being wrong as well.. it wouldn’t surprise me to see something go down today involving Westbrook |

| If KD goes to Boston I’m gonna puke, I love AD but you have to pull the trigger especially if it prevents him from going to Boston or to a WC team that is on crusp of winning. |

Btw, let’s hope the Clippers implode as bad as the nets
All we need is maybe one more year of Kawhi as a part-time player. |

| Are most Laker fans okay with trading AD for Durant if it’s on the table? Maybe Irving was a smokescreen all this time and our real target was KD. |

| Quote: | | Opt-in-and-trade is the logical pathway to get Kyrie Irivng to most of these teams. Irving has a 15% trade bonus that, if traded in during free agency, would raise his salary next season to $42.3M. Team acquiring Irving would need to send out $33.7M to match salaries. |

Take deep breaths. You're going to have a rough time getting through the next 10 days.

| Clippers have all the tools to make a splash. And if they don't, they'll still have the best roster in the league. |

| In a trade for KIrving, Rob may have some leverage and instead of sending a pick, requiring one just for the fact that Kyrie is not vaccinated. |

We need defense and we don't need more offense. With Lebron and KD, we might score 150 points but we would give up 160 points. |

| Ballmer is going to go hard after KD. He is probably still obsessed from when KD said nah and Ballmer was crying lol. |

What tools?
They have 2 stars, who they are not trading.
Good role players, who are all over paid
No picks. |

I'd trade AD/27+29 for KD.

At the end of the day, wouldn't be surprised if KD/Irving just come back to the Nets.
