Honestly, I see Brooklyn saying "We haven't found deals we want, we are keeping both, they are under contract"

And going James Harden and letting this play out for as long as it takes to find the deals they want.

I think Kyrie has more leverage than people realize here

He is an expiring, so the Nets either get something now, the deadline, or never.

I could see this dragging out to the deadline if the Lakers play hardball, but in the end Kyrie can pull an AD and say we will walk at season’s end to the Lakers regardless. Which will depress the market for Kyrie, and unlike AD at the time, team’s know he’s toxic and can destroy your culture in a 6 months if you let him.

I think eventually you will see Kyrie for picks, swap, and Russ + pieces. Either this summer or the deadline.

And for the Nets, it’s probably not the worst deal cause the Lakers will almost certainly be terrible when Lebron is gone and that team has literally no draft assets.
