    Wait, is this a real Woj bomb or a fake @BonesJones Woj Bomb? The lines of reality and fiction are blurring...

    Brooklyn is gonna get KD and Kyrie. They’ll let Russell go. Knicks take another L.

    If they let Russell go they open up two max slots...for KD and Kyrie.

    Not sure where you fall on Stephen A Smith, I know he evokes quite different feelings for different people, but I did hear him say a few days ago that Brooklyn told him they had already gotten affirmation that Kyrie wanted to go there.

    Why would you want Kyrie over Russell??

    I wouldn't. I don't think they will either.

    When people talk about trading a pick to give up salary look at what Brooklyn just had to give up to clear Crabbe's contract. Are two 1sts worth getting rid of ET if we get a Prince type player back in the deal?

    I'd trade ET the 25 and next year's pick (lottery protected) for Prince.

    Seriously though, a very similar trade happened in our game. It was basically Crabbe and #17 for Prince and Len.

    I think Olshey wants Porter so we will see how that works out getting closer to the draft.

    Two firsts to offload 18 million.

    That gives me no hope that the Blazers can offload Turner with the 25....

    Well 25 has less value than 17 and our pick next year is probably not worth as much as Brooklyn's either (depending on who they land this summer).

    KD ain’t going to Brooklyn to play with DAngelo Russell.
