REPORT: Lakers and Brooklyn in Active Talks for Kyrie Trade

[8Ball]

the hopeless situation that he is responsible for

Can't argue with that.

Brooklyn about to offload cancer for some killer assets

[kawhileonard2]

Brooklyn don’t want Westbrook

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.

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.

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

Who is who?

[hold this L]

LA remains a shit show!

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

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

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!

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

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.

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!

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.
