    A rebuild for Brooklyn makes no sense, though, since they traded away a lot of their future picks to houston.

    But comes at a much higher salary costs. If they are rebuilding id prefer our offer.

    The thing is, the Suns are going to trade away half the team that won those 65 games to get him.

    Los Angeles is just as far from the East Coast as Portland, and you don’t hear players complaining about going there.

    Sounds like they aren't rebuilding because they have traded away all their picks and they are said to be keeping Simmons. But if they trade away Durant, Irving, and Simmons, that's alot of picks for rebuilding.

    Thing is, this very embarrassing for the Nets. I don't see how Marks isn't fired. They are fucked. They have to try and make a 50 car pileup look like a beauty contest.

    Another pressure ploy to get Irving extended quickly.

    Maybe Kevin Durant wants to come back to the Pacific Northwest to finish his career?

    I thought that was self explanatory. Portland is not LA in terms of lifestyle for these players.

    Blazers will have to at least throw an offer the Nets way. The Blazers can't tell Lillard they didn't even try.

    He needs to get on the fucking phone and call KD. It doesn't really matter what Joe does if KD doesn't want to come here.

    Either

    He doesn't want to play with Irving

    He's an attention whore seeking Prima Donna

    Both
