    At least all the Kyrie-stans can STFU for now. KD did all he could do, but Seth Curry and Goran Dragic wanted it more down the stretch than Kyrie did.

    Kind of why I felt they won the trade by a wide margin. I felt Harden and Simmons was a pretty even deal.

    I’d trade Blevins for Simmons. That way if he decides to sit another year, no big deal. Nets might have to toss on a pick though, at least Blevins can physically play.

    Somehow the NBA has to work out a way to combine the Nets and the Lakers into one SuperSuperTeam.

    A 2022 first round unprotected with the right to rollover to 2023, and 2027 top 8 protected first round pick.

    The cost would be the lottery pick. Depending on where the pick lands, it might be more prudent to buy low on Simmons or Grant.

    Right now Ben Simmons trade value is at rock bottom. You know who else has low trade value right…..Russell Westbrook.

    I would definitely trade Bledsoe, Hart and the 2025 Bucks pick for Ben Simmons and I think getting Hart and a future first along with cap relief and what they got with him in the Harden deal would be pretty good value for the Nets.
