OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: JUNE 2024

Net's are going nowhere so might as well trade Bridges and I applaud the Net's FO for making a bold decision even if it could set the team back for a few years. Sometimes you have to take a few steps back to go forward and IF i was a Net's fan i would be sad to see a very good player leave but hopeful for the future.

sidenote - I wonder if the Net's will give Claxton a bag of money to stay OR will they give it to someone who was a Knick like a certain Center they cannot re-sign ... I guess we shall see

 

BIG POPPA PUMP

 

That’s how you do it. Not this half assed shit the Blazers have done.

Cronin has been awful at tanking with this mix of vets

 

Only if he can’t convert them into assets this summer. There wasn’t much reason to full tank this year. We tied for the third worst record and only got 7th.

 

Brogdon, Grant, Thybulle, Williams and Ayton can all go!

I'd only move Simons if we get something good.

 

So if I am right when it comes to FA's and I mean impact FA's were at like ...

Paul George - maybe
OG

- I feel I am missing one other or am I but if that is the case players like Grant and Ant and to a lesser degree Brogs and even lesser degree Thybulle and Williams could be could targets for contenders -- this FO needs to try it's best to take advantage of it and strike while teams might be desperate err I mean eager to get better -- LOL

 

But not all this summer, some at the deadline when they can fetch more from teams willing to overpay to win

 

It’s funny but I actually want to trade Simons more than I want to trade Grant. We have guards. We don’t have a decent power forward to replace Grant at the moment.

 

Why can’t Cronin offer the same thing or more for Bridges?

 

I like Scoot but Simons is good insurance.

 

Didn't the Nets half-ass it last year? They only did it this year because Bridges was going to force himself to NY

Ian Begley @IanBegley
Nets surely didn’t want to trade Mikal Bridges to NYK but Bridges’ side was prepared to force the issue by telling teams he wanted to be w/NYK, per SNY sources. Bridges’ side made it clear to BKN that he wanted to be w/NYK, reunite w/Villanova teammates Brunson, Hart, DiVincenz

 

We need a GM with a fawken Balls

 

I would think that could take Philly out of the Grant discussions until OG makes a decision. He may (and should) want to return to NY but if they can't pay I am sure 76ers would step up.

 

Right make KD sign here

 

I bet the next time someone demands a trade to Portland Joe will get it done.

 

Much younger and much more of a 2-way player. Not surprising he went for more. Surprising at how MUCH more.

 

Right. NY got their first taste of success in YEARS. And decided to push their chips all the way in.

 

Half the salary as well. Teams had 3 months to make that kind of offer for Dame but couldn't or wouldn't.

 

Woj reposts his KD to Houston rumor every half hour
