But isn’t Kyrie back in Brooklyn? So he’s going to show Kyrie how loyal is he is by leaving Kyrie? Or is Kyrie wanting a trade now too?

I'd guess this means Kyrie is gone too.

Kyrie just picked up the option because no one was going to give him a big payday and that was the best financial decision for him.

LeBron also went to a decent Miami team with superstars and made them into something. Then he went to bad teams in Cleveland and LA and won championships.

Durant actively seeks out already Finals-caliber teams, first the Warriors and now this

Phoenix and Miami are among two of the teams that Kevin Durant has on his wish list


Crazy how unlikable he’s become after being well loved his first few years

Bill Simmons @BillSimmons

Most fun KD trade outcomes for all of us just from a HOLY shite standpoint…

1. Zion/Pels
2. AD/Lakers
3. Knicks
4. OKC
5. Boston

Finishing last… Sacramento


KD on the Flap Show with Zion and Simmons in Brooklyn please

We complain that players don't care about winning then complain when the put winning above everything else.

In fairness, I'm guilty of it too but still.

I just don’t see Pels fricking their chemistry up for KD. I would’ve taken him on the Nuggs though.

Pels aren't going to do that.

I hate to say this, but I can see the Lakers getting Kyrie for Russ and 27 and 29 1sts.

They will be F'd once Lebron retires but may not help the Pels 23 and 24/25 picks.

I did it in the trade machine. Zion, Nance, Graham and Temple. Says it worked. Clears out some spots for us and we are super loaded..

I absolutely loathe Kyrie but honestly it’s probably the only halfway realistic move the Lakers could make to have a chance at salvaging something after the disastrous Westbrook trade.

And as much of a space cadet Kyrie has turned into, Lebron might be the one guy in the association that could keep him somewhat under control imo

I'd be very surprised if the "Governors" don't lock out the players over this stuff.

What a soft puss KD is. Could of just stayed in Golden State and been in the Finals almost every year but instead he acts like a prima donna every year

what kinda package doesn’t involve those guys? It wouldn’t even be in the top 10 offers being made


It would still be pretty good considering all of the Laker picks as of today

Some combo of
Jonas
Herb
Trey
Dyson
Laker 1sts
Mil firsts

That's a lot of young cheap talent and picks.
