hootie249 293 Report post Posted February 4, 2023 I would love an old guy if it was at old guy prices 15 years ago. Problem is contracts for the Lowry's and CP3's of the world have skyrocketed. Those guys already got bank and stupid teams still paid them 30 million dollar contracts. 20 years ago these guys would be on a team for 15 million mentoring younger players. Now every player gets to go to a "contender" and still get bank. System is kind of messed up right now. Durant is still playing at an elite level and i would love 2 or 3 years from him except he doesn't fit our team. He also costs too much. That is not even counting the off court crazy.

J Roc Baby 24 Report post Posted February 4, 2023 16 hours ago, All Eyes On Me said: Looks like Kyrie demanded a trade. I don’t want him anywhere near our squad, and he won’t be, but sounds like a trade is imminent He will go to some contender for cheap while the Magic would have to pay a fortune. Pass on that headache Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J Roc Baby 24 Report post Posted February 4, 2023 Keep Suggs. Cole has the ability to take over games and have amazing nights but it's not a consistent thing yet. Suggs is amazing defensively. I think we just gotta lock the young man into a gym with a shooting coach all offseason and he's good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hootie249 293 Report post Posted February 4, 2023 Starting to think no trades happen and we just release Ross so he can go where he wants. Mostly i think they won't mess with chemistry and just want to see how the season goes. And that's fine. These guys like each other and bringing in someone else would mess that up. Easier to do something in the offseason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTMagicUK 1,480 Report post Posted February 4, 2023 Jarred Vanderbilt's name apparently coming up in trade talks. Would love him as a backup on this team. Hustle, rebounding, terrific defense. He's exactly what we need. Wonder what his value would be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All Eyes On Me 1,206 Report post Posted February 5, 2023 Mavs didn’t have to give up much for Kyrie. Dinwiddie traded back to a team that traded him like 3 years ago lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,206 Report post Posted February 5, 2023 Didn’t want any part of him here, but this might be the cheapest an established star has ever been traded for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,206 Report post Posted February 5, 2023 Last thought on the deal and apologies for multiple posts, but this had to have been done by the Nets so quickly to give them time to get a KD deal done by the deadline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,480 Report post Posted February 5, 2023 Have a feeling both Dallas and Brooklyn have more deals to make. Not sure if Brooklyn will look for (or find even if they do explore it) a KD trade though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
