KD is 10 years older. TEN years older plus is coming off a major injury. There's no way I would do that trade. None. KD is great and a HOFer no question but his age and the fact we have no picks in 2 out of 3 years coming up by the time KD retires? Heeellll naw.

If everything was kosher with Trae, we wouldn't even be having this discussion, at least from my perspective.

There's a lot of things that one can joke about.

There's a subset of those things that one can joke about and it's actually funny to other people.

Another subset are those things that one can joke about, and effectively reaffirm that one was never serious about his/her apology... ie, not funny.

 

Speaking of being right, I called that one.

 

It's not wrong to say you're skeptical. What's wrong is to say someone is "pretending" (the verb you used) to know things they don't actually know (ie, what's routinely understood to be lying), and taking an unprovoked and inappropriate jab at the character of someone who doesn't deserve that. Other people around here might let you off the hook. I'm not one of 'em (obviously). You need boundaries, my man... maybe start with the golden rule.

Go back to bed.

How come nobody told me about this trade. Usually I’m the FURST out the gate and intel wise @sturt.

Anyways, @NBASupes ideally yes, Kyme is a perfect fit for Luka, then again, so was KD and the Nets. Kyme has been absent a ton. As a Hawks fan that has a personal vendetta with FAKEa$$GM and all the Mav morons, I’m happy they went this route and believe Kyme only wants a paycheck. His career ended when he got that shot in the finals to beat the scrubs. After that, it’s all clowning around and show at tell.

Nets win this deal. Dumbwaiter alone for Kyme is enough and you get funny Finney Smith and parts and picks. Ya, Nets win. But at the same time the Nets owe all their picks to Houston for the Harden deal.

 

ps @kg01 bro, comon broh dis issss a bigggg deo! Wake me up before you GO GO!

The only winner of this Mavs/Nets trade is Ben Simmons. 

He gets to play point again and pass to shooters and a vertical threat in Claxton.

Oh whoa I honestly forgot he was on the team.. lol. I’m like oh KD is out with just Dinwiddie. 
 

If I was a betting man (I kinda am) I’d bet they both fail!  Kyme and Ben will be the same broke d!ck bums they always been. drop. Im out!

He also becomes the #1 target for blame @ Brooklyn. Can he hold up to the pressure?

eh. I think most fans are resigned to him being a role player at this point.

Heh, lemme wipe the crust out my eyes before you chastise me squd.  I been tryna digest this deal.  As you know, I've been calling Dinwidd a poor man's Kyrie for a while.

I'm thinking DAL feels they can step up to the real deal but have no idea what they're in for.  I'm waiting for the first time (of hundreds) when kyrie does his own thang... then the golden boy barks and claps his hands like 'pass me the bawl, scrub!'.  For better or worse, Kyrie ain't gonna take too well to that.  So I'll save my reaction to after that starts happening.

I think there's a decent chance this is another Kyrie-to-BOS scenario (alienate all the folks then bolt) and a part-year rental job.

[Diesel]

I believe that there will be an epic clashing of Egos!!!  Unless Lebron makes a deal for Kyrie with Dallas.

Bbbut didju see tha triple doubles tho!!!!!!

(Wait when it was Westbrook, I thought we all decided triple doubles were overrated?)

[JayBirdHawk]

So will Kyrie 'try' to play nice from now until the offseason? Seems like he has a 30 day shelf life before doing/saying something 'weird'

Like he couldn't do in BKN with his bestie on the team?

[NekiEcko]

So that means, we will do nothing for the trade deadline and I kinda understand besides we are still 8th place (in the play-in) but we cant do anything until offseason

Is he really though?

Ben Simmons has missed the last four games with left knee soreness, but sources familiar with Durant’s thinking tell the Daily News the star forward has been less than enthralled with Simmons, who is averaging just 7.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and six assists per game on a max contract in Brooklyn.

Can I ask what exactly Kyrie brings to the table that Dinwiddie doesn’t? (And this is not coming from a Dinwiddie fan)

He's just better.  They do a lot of the same things but Spenc ain't as good.  Plain, simple.

Kyrie is really good on the court...it's what comes with him off court is the issue particularly when it prevents him from actually being on court.

I think what happened was Lebron told Kyrie to ask for a trade and LAL offered Westbrook and 2 1sts...  To punish them, BKN made the deal with Dallas.
