So Nets are a mess & its bc 1x person, Kyrie Irving.
He has made day to day operations so unbearable that Ben Simmons don't even like going to the facility to put in work.
Nets take back control & GM & Ownership realize KD is under contract for 4yrs. Time to get to work.
Problem #1 - remove the cancer
But before doing so, KD wants nothing to do w Ben Simmons. They seen him in playoffs fall apart under bright lights.
KD says 1st things 1st.. Move BS...
Operation Fix Bkn Nets - remove the cancer & the BS...
Enter Cle & 23 yr old Fut Star C Sexton. KD Nets seen 1st hand what he's about. Google Sexton 42pts vs Nets big 3 highlights.
Sexton in sign & trade + Loves expiring makes the $$$ work w Cavs taking back injured J Harris bad deal for 2x more yrs. Cle incl 3x fut lotto protected 1sts in 25 & 27.
Next after the bs. Time to remove cancer.. Cuban needs replace Brunson swings 4 fences w KY. Paired w Luka could build Dynasty.
Bkn gets best return.. 2x fut 1sts lottery protected ..
D. Powell T Hardaway Jr M kleiber F Nkitilina
All for Kyrie Irving, even as a rental gets off Hardaway bad $. Picks lotto protected in 25 & 27.
It's worth it. Mavs could win 🏆 & kyrie resign long term vs LA and LeBron at 38 on expiring Deal & no depth. Compared to Luka w shooters. Kyrie fits perfectly into Mavs team. Cuban takes a gamble. Plus they got j Mcgee, plan Finney at 4, & got C Woods too. Mavs can pull this trade off.
So now Nets got 4x 1sts...
A team in Atl just gave up a bunch 1sts to get Murray & trying to get off bad $$
Nets send:
4x 1st Rd picks D. Powell T Hardaway Jr
Nets get :
J Collins C Capela
Both on God awful contracts.
Hawks can play owongku at C & Powell as backup but most importantly create Cap Space gettingnoff bad money & get back 4x 1sts rd picks.. they sent alot of picks out for Murray & swaps.
So now Nets by making a few moves are in a position to keep KD.
Added legit depth..
Plus TJ Warren .. dude was getting 30ppg in bubble..
Plus Royce O'Neal.
So here's what Nets got as projected starters
Se Curry C Sexton K Durant J Collins C Capela
K Love P Mills R Oneale Tj Warren M Kleiber N Claxton F Nkitilina
Etc.
All of a Sudden KD has depth. Imagine this death lineup
Sexton Warren Collins Love Durant
Mills Sexton Curry Nkitilina C Thomas. Etc
They all of a sudden got legit depth & you got great 3 pt shooters around KD. Last yr, Blake Griffin was shooting wide open 3 after wide open 3.
Most importantly on Def Wing..
W O'Neal & Warren, Nets know what there building.
This option is too keep KD..
It's possible.
Ill look at other option of moving KD but it's not easy to make that move..
Thoughts on Nets keeping KD.
Nets problem is depth. They got none..
This solves it w right pieces imho.
