    This is blowing up everywhere and Dame keeps re-posting it. Trolling game on 100.

    If I were Brooklyn I would take Ant, Sharpe, EBE, and a 1st.
    Those two and Simmons is a good young nucleus.

    Will say this, much better leverage for the Blazers versus last year with all the cryptic leaving shit.

    The Nets didn't underperform? They got 3 Hall of Famers and got eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. That's why the team has been dismantled and that's why everyone is moving on.

    As I said, Ant + picks + MAYBE Little. They definitely wouldn't be getting Ant AND Shaedon.

    Yeah I am not saying I would give it to them, just that if I were them I would accept it.

    Of course. If I was them, I would do it yesterday. That's top line return in a time where no team gets equal return for their superstars except for maybe Anthony Davis.

    If that were actually true, there's absolutely no chance Dame would jeopardize that by posting that pic, LOL.

    When does Kyrie have to make his decision by? The 1st?

    Is anything too much for a chance at a few rings? I would be willing to throw in swaps too. Yeah, it would mean a barren few years after Dame and KD drop off but I'd suffer that if we can have two, three or even more rings with that core.

    Why would it jeopardize anything? If anything it's getting a social media to talk about it which we know Durant is heavily watching. Social media can definitely will things into existence. Dame putting a pic on social media doesn't jeopardize anything. Let's hope there's some truth to it.

    A few rings? I would do it for a legitimate chance at ONE ring.

    If Durant wants to cement his legacy, coming back west AND beating the Warriors would definitely do that. Teaming with Dame gives him a shot for sure.

    Right now the narrative is still Durant needed the Warriors and not the other way around.

    The year before they were a Durant toe on the line away from going to the finals and most likely winning it

    Root hard for Kyrie to leave. Root HARD.

    If KD does actually become available, expect Joe to call. If we had Neil he'd still be twiddling his thumbs at offering CJ for KD.

    If we can get him for that, cool, if we need to add Nas cool, if we need to add Shaedon instead of Nas... still fucking cool. If you can put a starting lineup together of Dame, Hart, KD, Grant and Nurk with guys like Nas, Justice and someone good with the TPMLE then the ring chasers would flock.

    I think it's a guaranteed two championships... unless we get hit with injuries in the playoffs.

    If we did that, we'd be like the Nets trading for Kevin Garnett. Or the Nets trading for James Harden.

    I'd rather trade Dame to the Nets than trade for Durant. YES I MEAN IT
