@YahooSports"



Poor Manny :lol

[Patrick Chewing]

Both teams are doomed.

[Xiao Yao You]

LA remains a shit show! :roll:

[Gotterdammerung]

I, for one, am looking forward to the Brick City era, courtesy of Westbrook and Simmons.
:cheers:

[FultzNationRISE]

Imagine giving a max to Kyrie Irving when LeFatherFigure only has one more year left :lol

[8Ball]

LA remains a shit show! :roll:

A team with AD, Kyrie, and Bron will score a lot.

All 3 players' games fit

[Xiao Yao You]

A team with AD, Kyrie, and Bron will score a lot.

All 3 players' games fit

Will they play 100 games between them? Will the earth remain flat?

[Spurs m8]

Oh, so now the bron stans are back to loving Kyrie again :roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:

[Spurs m8]

Why poor manny?

You told him all that Kyrie was absolute cancer?

Kyrie also won't come cheap

[MrFonzworth]

Bran stans excited daddy Kyrie can bail him out in the clutch again ala 2016:yaohappy:

No shame:yaohappy:

[And1AllDay]

LA remains a shit show! :roll:

ummmm what? :oldlol:

[8Ball]

Kyrie:

Helped Bron achieve GOAT status.
Destroyed KD's legacy.
Apologized to Bron and desperate to come play with Bron in LA.


Of course we love Kyrie.

[8Ball]

Bran stans excited daddy Kyrie can bail him out in the clutch again ala 2016:yaohappy:

No shame:yaohappy:

Wrong.

We are bailing Kyrie out from his hopeless situation in Brooklyn.

[MrFonzworth]

Wrong.

We are bailing Kyrie out from his hopeless situation in Brooklyn.

You aren't doing anything from that basement of yours:roll:

[Xiao Yao You]

Wrong.

We are bailing Kyrie out from his hopeless situation in Brooklyn.

the hopeless situation that he is responsible for :lol

[8Ball]

the hopeless situation that he is responsible for :lol

:lol

Can't argue with that.

[Spurs m8]

Brooklyn about to offload cancer for some killer assets :applause:

[kawhileonard2]

Brooklyn don’t want Westbrook

[Spurs m8]

Brooklyn don’t want Westbrook

Exactly.

Needs to be a third team involved...Lakers don't have enough assets to ship with Brick

[1987_Lakers]

Bron haters on full meltdown mode.

[Johnny32]

Brooklyn don’t want Westbrook

they have no choice lol. kyrie has made it clear he's going to lal asap. no one is trading for a 1 yr rental, let alone a 1 yr rental that might decide to not even play for you. bkn knows they have no leverage whatsoever. the holdup up reportedly is bkn wants harris' contract packaged with ky and lal wants curry.

another miserable season incoming for legoat haters.

[DMAVS41]

Exactly.

They do if they take back Harris...apparently that is what the Nets are insisting on.

But it isn't like there is a market for a one year rental of Kyrie in the league. Almost everyone would pass giving up something of value for that.

It is crazy, but this trade needs to happen. Russ and a pick for Kyrie / Harris seems good, but if I was the Lakers, I'd be trying to get Royce as well.

what would they do with Royce? He actually suits up every night

[DMAVS41]

Who is who?

[hold this L]

LA remains a shit show! :roll:

They become a top contender immediately if they lose WB and get Kyrie.

[Johnny32]

legoat about to lead the lg in assists again...at 38 yrs old.

[Xiao Yao You]

They become a top contender immediately if they lose WB and get Kyrie.

Seriously? Lebron has been hurt for 4 years. Davis has never been healthy. Kyrie is who he is. Might be better than last year but they are a year older and the west is better after taking a step back last year. Play-in or bust for the 3rd straight year in LA! :cheers:

[Spurs m8]

Lol I can't wait for the championship cruise threads...and the sinking of it...

People forgetting they're gonna be 7 years past 2016, there's no D, AD is injured and Monk isn't there to help the bail out.

Could somehow be even funnier than last season

[kawhileonard2]

GOAT's 3 peat for the franchise that drafted them.

You gotta be delusional to think BKY is giving you Curry and Kyrie for the worst contract (literally) in the NBA.

If they literally just remove WB from the team, they probably are a play-in team alone this season. Adding a top level PG even if it's a total dipshit like Kyrie would improve them big time. But yeah, their injury history is a massive question mark. If they're not healthy during the PS, nothing will matter.

who's carrying the team while Davis and Lebron watch from the sidelines again?

It's an expiring contract...that has value, especially when all your draft picks are in Houston.

[Spurs m8]

I read johnny32s post for sheer lols

The funniest part is its not a satire account

[Axe]

Lmao good luck

[Johnny32]

Lol they're starting to panic.

[Shogon]

So apparently the Lakers don't want Joe Harris and are asking for Seth Curry instead... the absolute balls... lmao.

Imagine... Westbrook + THT for Kyrie, Harris AND Seth... saves the Nets money for the next 2 seasons.

Jokes aside... the Lakers shouldn't **** around with this. Kyrie is an expiring deal and while no team may want him other than the Lakers, that could change at any moment with someone deciding... "**** it... he's on an expiring deal, let's roll the dice" because they sure as shit aren't getting a deal like this for Westbrook to come around again.

Maybe test the water to try to maximize for a day but I'm pulling that trigger sooner than later.

Westbrook has a better contract than Bradley Beal because it's expiring.

Westbrook is going to look a lot better on a team where he dominates the **** out of the ball and he doesn't have the national media attention on him for every single regular season game.

That being said, I have no idea how he co-exists with Simmons... none. What an absolute shitshow that is going to be.

If Westbrook handles the ball... what the **** is Simmons doing on the court offensively? If Simmons handles the ball, Westbrook will look like shit again.

[And1AllDay]

rudy gobert :oldlol:

[hold this L]

What value does it dummy? Kyrie and Brick both have expiring contracts. If they make a deal where Curry and Kyrie go Lakers for Brick and some late, garbage fillers.. I can imagine Silver and Lebron must have a gun locked in Nets FO's heads. Because that makes absolutely zero sense.

No, that's fair. Beal due to length is definitely the worst in the league. But I agree with you, having two ball dominant players who can't shoot makes no sense. Again if this deal is made, there was must be some shit happening at the background, because it makes no sense.

[NBAGOAT]

The nets may straight up buyout westbrook like Hou did with wall, I don’t think they care that much about being competitive. The offer seems bad but the lakers are the only ones offering a frp. The nets want to give up harris because he has long term money and is negative value coming off an injury but I would give up curry too if it meant getting 2 frps some seconds and a swap or 2.

[Phoenix]

A potential backcourt of Westbrook and Simmons. That's some GOAT level spacing right there.

Awe it's cute that you think Kyrie would actually show up and play and not just take the money and get "injured". Russ is fighting for his career he's going to perform...Kyrie and Durant probably not.

You mean Russ will try and perform...and fail

Why would Kyrie fake an injury?

What's with the name John and being stupid on here?

kyrie took time off 2 seasons again for literally no reason. Think it was family reasons but you can absolutely pencil him to miss some games even if he's not injured

We're going to get Kyrie AND Joe Harris for WB + a 1st

You make an embarrassing point (Kyrie who has been "injured" for half of his career) and then you insult people. Do trolls know that they are trolls?

joe Harris is finished imo.

White players that get ankle surgeries are normally done career wise. He will have no athleticism left.

[Thenameless]

So, then he didn't lose much.

[shrempf_on_rice]

You think Lebum's media going after Westbrook was bad, wait til they start crucifying Kyrie Irving for all of Lebitch's failures.
:roll::roll::roll:

[ImKobe]

Meh. He can still knock down open 3s as well as any player in the league. He's perfect for Bran Ball. He's the 2020s Kyle Korver.

[sdot_thadon]

This will be entertaining af, because Kyrie has developed his own legion of haters to take back to LA with him and some of his "fans" are Lebron haters. Rollerskates and backpedals gallore. On a seroius note if I were LA and I come out of this with Kyrie, Harris, AND.....Curry. I'd feel like I won the offseason.

There's no chance in hell they're getting all three of those guys. Not unless they're giving away a plethora of picks and swaps and some players of their own like THT/Nunn. Kyrie + one of those guys seems like the deal on the table.

I just think there's more possibilities on the table, even Simmons because unloading him would be the domino that allows BK to get a higher tier of return across the board for Kd due to the rookie extension deals.

He's an asshole who whines too much about other posters if they don't hate lebron.

[Full Court]

Oh, so now the bron stans are back to loving Kyrie again :roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:

That'll last until the Lakers underachieve again. Then everything will be Kyrie's fault.

[Lakers Legend#32]

The toothache for an earache trade.

[Lee]

This will resurface soon again.

[Real Men Wear Green]

This will resurface soon again.

Well yes but with you bumping the same thread is a bit of self fulfilling prophesy

[bladefd]

I don't see Lakers trading for him right now under the current controversy, and they are not giving up much of anything. I suspect they will also want a public apology from Kyrie if it ever goes down.

[rawimpact]

Will they play 100 games between them? Will the earth remain flat?

Not as flat as Rudy's stats these days

[bullettooth]

At some point, everyone in the league is going to be credited with carrying the corpse of LeBron. This guy is NOT a leader.
