Lol woj is such a b1tch. Took the wind out of the sails on KD’s live announcement on his channel.

[bison]

Finally, GSW is back to normal no more superteams

They will still be a top 3 team in the west. Curry and Klay = automatic 50+ win season. They just need to use the money they were planning on giving KD to shore up their depth and bring some younger players in.

[Wally450]

The nets are going to suck this year with Durant out. Kyrie can

[Jay-B]

Must suck that they got to wait a year for KD then they gotta wait for chemistry and plus see how healthy KD so this huge signing is really kind of watered down if you think about it

[stalkerforlife]

Durant won't play next season.

May never return to form.

I don't get the hoopla.

[90sgoat]

I hope people are joking mentioning Deandre Jordan along with KD and Kyrie.

Deandre Jordan is now a serious net negative on the floor and likely off the floor as well. Plays Lebron esque matador defense and doesn't move at all on offense.

He'll play harder for black teammates.

He quit while with Luka.

Honestly I understand why people like lebron block out woj and them...

Durant probably didnt want people to know until his show platform.

[Hey Yo]

Sure sign that KD's duckin LeBron

He is NOT scared of him.

Maybe he should have employed better people around him? Obviously there's a rat

Now you can dream of your team one day being an NBA Finals Champion like the Toronto Raptors

[Naero]

Good for Brooklyn and the league as a whole. :applause:

Even if Durant's impact remains on the backwaters this season, title contention is likely in the offing for the Nets. They have an able coach, a franchise cornerstone in the wings, a provenly adept championship-level second option, and a platoon of solid role-players; they just need Durant to convalesce and add another ancillary piece or two, and they'll have just as plausible of title-contention chances as anyone else with the league's likely-seeming parity moving forward.

Whether or not that parity materializes, though, could hinge on Kawhi's decision; that's why I'm hoping he either re-signs with the Raptors or joins the Clippers out of all likely suitors.

[Meticode]

Brooklyn rose from the ashes like a Phoenix, my god.
These are the types of comments that make me laugh. So many knee-jerk reactions. We have no idea how this is going to work. Kyrie was setup in a perfect situation in Boston. A bunch of young talent, and he was the alpha dog. He couldn't lead them.

Now he's in Brooklyn without Durant for a year. We have no idea if Durant will return to form and how well Kyrie will fair sharing the ball with Durant. He didn't like sharing it with LeBron who was a more willing passer.

Can Brooklyn get a 1 year rental anywhere at the PF spot?

[sbw19]

Talk about best way of losing out on Kyrie. Nets Lakers games now are the new draw it seems (health aside.) Domino effect in effect. Infrequent to have FA more exciting than preceding playoffs, this is one of those occasions.

[thefatmiral]

Dang I was a nets fan too. Future is unsure for them still though.

Kyrie isn't a leader. He can be be a nice piece of a championship team if he can stand on the shoulders of a Lebron or a fully-recovered KD type player.

If KD doesn't recover at least to the point of being vastly better than Kyrie, the nets will not win a championship. But if KD recovers by 90% or more that team could work.

[hold this L]

Wow

[Nets fan 93]

Finally. The Nets have finally pulled something amazing off. This is ridiculous. The Nets have never signed another team

[72-10]

Cool, the Nets will be perennial title contenders once again, and if they don't make the Finals, something's amiss.

[bluechox2]

Kyrie and Durant taking less than max to give Jordan a 10 mil salary... **** em

[Bronbron23]

Y'all are crazy. Nets ain't doing shit. Kd couldn't win with Westbrook why do you think he'll win with Kyrie coming off an Achilles injury?

[It's A VC3!!!]

What a great time to be a Nets fan. Watching the rebuilding take place a few years ago to having marquee free agents WANT to play for the Brooklyn Nets is amazing. It does really suck that Durant will likely miss all of next season.....



The only thing that is confusing me right now is why we let Ed Davis walk for $5 million per year. For the value that he bring we are not going to find a better back-up forward at that price so why let him walk away like that? I don't want this team to be top-heavy. Need two more bench pieces. Either way really curious to see how this unfolds over the next four years.:cheers: :banana: :D

[Draz]

:roll: knicks didn't offer him a max.

They're desperate to gamble on the worst injury possible for an athlete.

[bullettooth]

Durant's career ended with his achilles injury.

Him going to the nets is a non-factor.

[bluechox2]

Congrats nets, I applaud y’all

I’m stuck rooting for a team ran by dumbasses

[Vino24]

Durant will be a nonfactor for a very long time. They pretty much paid him for the advertisement. That injury is brutal and magnified by the fact that Durant is 7ft tall

[CelticBaller]

say it with me

Knicks are a joke

:banana:

[Nike D'Antoni]

I think Durant should have stayed IN GSW, Just take the most money.Because he will never be same player again. That Achilles injury was his end.

[Session]

Brooklyn Nets signs one half of Kevin Durant with super max salary :facepalm

[AirFederer]

Aside from his injury and how he recovers, I

[DoctorP]

Meh. Wake me up in 2 years when the dude can run again. Kyrie fd up.

[Manny98]

lol at these idiots acting like KD is going to be some scrub when he gets back :oldlol:

He's the most skilled 6'10+ player the league has ever seen. He doesn't even need athleticism like that.

He is singing a different tune now...:lol


We decided not to max out a player coming off a full achilles rupture and a headcase who doesn't think the earth is round.


I have zero shame in my game. We gonna roll w/ RJ Barrett and company. Btw RJ is being compared to a hybrid of Wade and Harden.

I'm filling up right now just thinking of 10+ years of RJ

This is still a huge gamble on Brooklyn's part. They need KD back at old KD-status, not 50-70% of KD like Boston fans are watching with Hayward right now. 70% of KD is still great player but it's not winning a title.

A 70% KD can still shoot jumpers in anyone's face all day long. Hayward cant.

This gives them a much bigger chance of winning than literally anything they could have come up with otherwise.. by a monumental margin. They were an irrelevant team regardless of what moves they made unless KD joined them.

[brooks_thompson]

This is the only time I've had or probably ever will have inside information about an NBA transaction, but I told you guys this months ago. I don't blame you if you missed it (there's a lot of trash here) or didn't believe me (fair, I will never have the same quality of info again, unless maaaaybe it's Durant-related). But I just had to say I told you so.

[D-nugz]

As bad as an achilies rupture is, KD will be fine...if anything he'll be even more of a lethal shooter. Having said that, Nets ain't going anywhere.

[GimmeThat]

it's as if everything is taken directly more at Michael Jordan than anything else

[tanibanana]

Durant-Irving is a long term project. Durant needs to heal, and Irving needs to accept he

[It's A VC3!!!]

Giannis is coming in 2021 as well. Durant will be on his way towards the finish line and it will be Kyrie and Giannis then. :banana:
