I don't know, it's a bit of a waste for the league to have Lebron and and AD waste away for another season- at least Kyrie may make the team viable and increase the entertainment in the west- this years playoffs sucked for the most part. Plus, I won't lie, I like the idea of Westbrook being reunited with KD no matter how briefly (maybe they plan on using Westbrook's presence to pressure KD into widening his list of teams!

The Heat and the Lakers always seem to find themselves in beneficial situations no matter how many mistakes they make. The Lakers mess up about as badly as they could have and might luck into a talent like Kyrie for essentially nothing.

If the Nets end up with Westbrook for Kyrie that would be ironic. Way to go out with a bang. And a big FU to Durant

Silver probably trying to promise the nets front office future top 3 lottery picks if they trade Kyrie to the Lakers

Can't believe no one has anything to say about the biggest move to date. Mark Cuban sure showed us.

He did such a funny one of these years ago- was it when Lebron signed with the Heat, or KD joined the Warriors or Nets? Can’t remember but he played all the fans from each team reacting to free agency news live

If the lakers don’t get sweetheart FA deals it’s not the NBA?

I'm surprised how little interest Ayton received from teams this summer, even those few with cap space. Coupled with the Suns reluctance, wonder if he really has been red flagged

Spending max money on a Center that is not an mvp candidate is a no go. Someone in another thread/forum did a list of all the starting centers in the league and a shocking amount of them was drafted in the 2nd round.

I thought it was pretty common knowledge that he has a ton of red flags around him. Dude was pulled from a game 7 WC finals where his last straw was not rotating out to a 3point shooter.

Centers simply aren’t a hot commodity in today’s nba. It’s a pg and wing league. Probably also why we were able to resign Mitch to a reasonable deal

Gonna be fun watching Westbrook average triple double in an empty Barclays Center next season

Interesting prospect but Knicks roster already packed

Very good move on a talented kid who will get a chance to put in minutes and show his worth. TJ is very good player but teams would and should be wary of his injuries.
Curious if Nash sticks it out. Does he want the opportunity to really coach now?

Also in the summer of fun..........Atkinson moved on from Charlotte knowing Miles Bridges was a ticking time bomb? Did he find Lamelo to be a bit of a young diva and deal with Lavar and that nonsense?
Was he told he'd be in Kerr's shoes in two years and really he is developing the yoot for himself going foward?
I saw met with Jordan after Atkinson rescinded his acceptance but no mention of why he did not step into the role. He was seen as the close runner up to Atkinson. Could be the same reason Kenny back out?
