    I'd say everyone but Dame, and I'd also assume they wouldn't want Nurk (who can't be traded until Jan 15 anyway) since they already have KAT.

    Unfortunately for him, Minny does hold some sort of leverage in this and can trade him wherever the hell they want. Unfortunately for us, they probably don't want to deal him within the division and are dumb enough to uphold such tenets.

    He wants to be paid, that’s what this sounds like. Literally nothing more..well maybe living in a nice city too. What a “competitor.”

    I think we'd have to take Dieng in any deal. Brooklyn and other teams might not be willing to do that but that has to be our move if we want this to happen.

    Pretty much. Although the clippers have a bunch of expirings and could use Dieng.

    If we can't get him, can we be the 3rd team and help facilitate a trade and get something we need in return?

    Of those teams, he should go to the Knicks. They could make the playoffs with him and Porzingis is better than any player on either the Nets or Clipps.

    Porzingis probably won't be back until the all star break this year. And who knows about his future after an ACL? Not an easy injury to come back from while 7'3.

    Jimmy + Kyrie + Prorzingis could make the East Finals easily. Boston should look out.

    Brooklyn trading Allen Crabbe and RHJ for Jimmy Butler will be the ultimate irony.

    That would be, but why would Minnesota want those two?

    New York: Don’t see a match there, not financially, not assets wise.

    Brooklyn: the most likely scenario. They have a huge expiring in Carroll, plus desirable, controllable assets in RHJ, Russell, and or LeVert.

    Clippers: Can offer numerous expirings (Gortat, Tobias, Milos, Beverley, etc) and have young assets Brooklyn would probably want in Gilgeous-Alexander and Jerome Robinson.

    As mentioned before, our only chance is if we took on Dieng.

    If that was true; why would he want to join a Kyrie team?

    Well we don't know that Minnesota necessarily wants expirings though.

    I don't see any of those guys as very desirable.

    I got no problem taking on Dieng if they take Turner or even Leonard.

    I'm sure the Wolves are happy they gave up the #7 pick for Butler last year. There's no player in potential deal with the upside of Markkanen.
