That's a lopsided trade in favor of the damn Lakers. Kyrie and Joe Harris/Curry for Westbrook, Nunn/Tucker and picks. Damn, moving Westbrook is a positive for Lakers, so they're getting Kyrie and Joe Harris for Nunn, or Tucker and two #1's. Hell, I'm not promoting a Pels trade, but the Pels could trump what the Lakers are offering, then turn around and trade Kyrie for whatever, and then keep Joe Harris who is a great shooter. I just don't understand the Nets bailing out the Lakers. I'm sure the Lakers are foaming at the mouth dying to complete this trade. Maybe they'll implode, but if Kyrie behaves, they'll be a threat to win the west.

Did you read a fake trade? I don’t see anything about this being real

Yeah, I think you're seeing something that's not real. The last "news" I saw was that other teams were getting in on Kyrie too besides the Lakers.

Some cap expert also recently chimed in that the Durant trade has to happen first bc an Irving-first trade severely limits any post-Irvng moves by the Nets and would make a KD trade practically impossible.

I think Harris is more injured than we know.

He injured his ankle back in November then never returned for the season, getting scoped near the end of the regular season.

That doesn’t sound good considering he has two years and about $36m left on the books.

I’ve read the Lakers don’t want Harris but the Nets are pushing for him to be included in the trade. Lakers want Curry instead. So it must be a health issue.

Isn’t Harris out all year due to ankle ligament surgery?

I get why either side doesn’t want him, but the Lakers have to know their off-season options are add Kyrie, or roll back a worse version of the team from last year. They are trying to get greedy when the Nets have no reason to I give Curry, a positive asset, away for basically nothing
