New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

I would say kudos to the negotiator :p
That negotiator is none other than thought to be Celtic for life Danny Ainge who has his roots in Utah, who actually won the Executive of the Year award in 2008 for the Celtics. :D

say it isn't so. Pelinka is at it again....

Report: Lakers, Nets discussing potential Kyrie Irving-Russell Westbrook trade​

While several hurdles remain, the Lakers and Nets are reportedly 'actively engaged' in trade discussions that would reunite LeBron James and Kyrie Irving.

I do not understand why Kyrie, after so much disrespect to his team by not informing them formally of his 'opt in' move, can even be accorded the 'pleasure' of landing him to his desired team and have his nirvanic reunion with his big brother LBJ. If I were Sean Marks or Jo Tsai, I'd waste no time looking for a lottery team to dump him there for a year. And why should the Nets even buy him out if all plans fail.

I would really have a very low regard for the abilities of Sean Marks if he actually takes in Westbrook for Kyrie, after all that Kyrie did to the Nets franchise, as Stephen A said, he ruined the Nets, he would make Kyrie have the cake and eat it too. :(

if he's under contract and they don't want him, they have to buy out the contract
 
I think the only thing the Lakers want to achieve the year is to get rid of Westbrook. Beyond that they have zero chance of fielding a competitive team.

FWIW Luol Deng is finally off the Lakers payroll

So it's like the Lakers are the only team that wants him in. Don't know who is worse, Pelinka or Marks. Still, I would ship Irving anywhere but his desired team. Too much salt in the wound for the Nets. Irving could have opted out if he wanted to prevent all this, and become a free agent. Somethings not right here.

I wonder if Kyrie actually lands in LA with a 1 year deal, will he push for a 3-4 year contract from Pelinka? Maybe that was really his plan. He's a cryptic guy.:D
 
Who are these players? The Lakers are beefing up their roster o_O I have no idea who they are

Los Angeles Lakers add Lonnie Walker IV, Damian Jones, Troy Brown Jr., Juan Toscano-Anderson during NBA free agency

 
this will take years for the Nets to recover....

Nets join list of recent superteams that never won a championship

Steve, Jones and Toscana were from GS, they have rings. :D

were they starters? or bench sitters

Bottom line for me is nothing will change this year with the Lakers or for years to come

Bench sitters but both played when Curry or Klay were injured though.

I think that the Nets demands for Booker to give up KD to the Suns is dead in the water unless the Suns get into some serious negotiations with the Nets. I think KD is going to end up wherever the most assets are. I hear talk of Toronto

The barometer now is the Gobert trade. If he can fetch 10 players, maybe Sean Marks is saying to the teams, you gotta give me 15. :D It's a free for all rules in this league. I'm really feeling this league is going, or learning the ways of the WWF, the players, or wrestlers, talk too much, and then they can really talk, next thing they are movie stars. Hmm, Lebron is a movie star all right. :D

Yeah, that’s what I meant by a reprise of the Garnett/Pierce deals.

John Hollinger laid out a Toronto scenario. Personally I think the Nets should tell him to shut up and honor his contract if something great doesn’t present.

Sort of like what Jerry Buss said to Kobe. :rolleyes:

Exactly. Kyrie had a choice to be a free agent by opting out. But he opted in, and he and his contract became property of the Nets. He is rubbing it in to the Nets management by demanding to be traded to a team he desires.
