Haynes is a credible reporter, if he says something you listen the thing is we are getting different info from different parties so who knows what’s going on right now..

Everyone basically saying Westbrook + Lakers picks = Kyrie Irving a Laker


Either the Nets are waiting on another team to join the fray

Or the Lakers still haven’t offered the picks

The Nets will not be tanking this year. They want to be competitive. They might keep Kyrie and add players they get from the KD trade.

I think it's going to come out tomorrow morning that the Nets are asking for 2 first rounders from the Lakers, who are unwilling to part with them and are telling the Nets to go find a better deal so as to not bid against themselves. But the Nets are preoccupied with Durant. And so nothing will happen until that domino falls. You'll probably immediately get the Kyrie trade executed and the remaining FA get signed.

I think there's better odds of Westbrook winning Finals MVP than Kyrie playing a single game for the Nets or even being let in the facility.

N. Bjelica, Thomas Bryant & Jeremy Lamb are names the Lakers could be looking at. (Potential Free Agent Targets)

Thomas Bryant and Bjelica would be some solid gets.


Bryant is coming off a Torn ACL and didnt look well.
Bjelica is probably reuniting with GSW.

Id look at Taj Gibson, Triston Thompson, Robin Lopez, Boogie Cousins for Stretch Big purposes or Moses Brown for rim protection and rebounding.


I would be surprised if GS brings Bjelica back after re-signing Moody and GPIII, especially with Weisman in play next year at C. Bryant may have been still playing back into form last year after the injury so expect him to be fully recovered next year. I would take the risk now that he possibly could be had for the vet min. I would have rather spent that tpMLE on Bryant or TJ Warren and offered Walker the vet min…wouldn’t have signed Walker for more than vet min.

I too would look at Cousins as a stretch big.

That's over a quarter billion dollars to a guy who scored like 2 points in a play-in game.

He's making a joke about your ability to use the proper their vs there vs they're and you're vs your.

But you didn't rehash what his wording was, you completely changed it to something vastly different than what he said. You got people, including me, excited.


He literally said their a good chance as ever that Irving is a Laker, that alone should get you excited


Yes. You got it right this time. "As good a chance as ever" is very different THAN "a good chance".


I have as good a chance as ever to date an SI swim suit model. Oddly, that alone doesn't get me excited.

Beefy little boy drafted during a Taco Bell commercial has signed the biggest deal in NBA history.

Without diving into the detailed math I can see a end scenario somewhere close to this as one deal or two for BKN:

Ayton/ Russ / picks - indy
Kyrie / Harris - LAL
KD / Hield - PHX
Turner / Brogdan / Bridges / picks - BKN



Some interchange depending on money off course, but allows all parties to get something that fits and allows Brooklyn to build with pieces that fit simmons
