    The Durant Sweepstakes

    honestly, i think the Nets are embarrassing themselves. Posturing is one thing. But they've been putting out nonsense. The Suns have been much more mature and (quiet) during this whole process. i wish our local sports media was more measured rather than blabbing bs like "when you get an...

    The Ayton Plan

    interesting to weigh the implications of Ayton's video game addiction is it more a minus in the trade equation or a plus if you consider how much better he might have been, and might be, with his addiction under control and with more sleep and focus?

    Booker signs Super Max Extension - 2022 Offseason

    yes, Booker's "been loyal and should be rewarded" -- with a max contract and incentives (all-star, all-team, defensive goals, etc..) and what is a better reward than telling him and his agent not to be greedy so we can put enough talent around him to win a championship? (wow -- consider the...

    Booker signs Super Max Extension - 2022 Offseason

    well, if a super-sneaker company and a super-video-game company and and a super-model are investing so much in Booker's boyish good-looks i feel so much better about super-max paying him like he's a top 3 player in the world. You'd think he just won a championship or something instead of (as...

    NBA Free Agency and Trades 2022

    any way you slice it, management really screwed up with Holiday. he either had less value than they anticipated when we acquired him or it will turn out that he has more value that we didn't utilize another "internal matter" we may never be privy to

    The Ayton Plan

    so, perhaps Ayton has an offer and we're on the 48 hour clock to match... but i think it's more likely what i alluded to 2 months ago: that while we were getting all bent out of shape about that "internal matter" Jones and company weren't -- knowing Ayton is a bit of a big baby with $ signs in...

    Why I don't want Durant

    i don't know why i was ever excited by the idea of KD coming here. If he couldn't get anything done with Kyrie and Harden when they were all in excellent form, why would he win a championship now with Booker and a 37/38 year-old Paul? and without our best role players?

    The Durant Sweepstakes

    yes, an important point. "mutual attraction" gives us more leverage than is being publicly acknowledged. and if i were the Nets, i can't be optimistic about what he's going to give them after the way they finished their season. hell, no one's calling it like it is in Jersey. because just like...

    The Durant Sweepstakes

    in that clip, Colin makes great points about all the recent busts with stars who have moved around and the importance of chemistry he's also on target with saying phx is the best destination for KD because he's not a leader and we've already got Paul for that. but he's still talking about...

    The Durant Sweepstakes

    regardless of your stand on Durant, i think if it's still at a stand-still tomorrow it's time to make plans without him. The Nets and the media have wildly over-rated Durant's value at this stage in his career. Let the Warriors or Heat gut their team on the gamble.

    The Durant Sweepstakes

    the Suns were a bunch of lemmings falling off a cliff in the second round and KD was doing some cliff diving with the Nets as well

    Why I don't want Durant

    it IS odd how LA is always getting the best of big trades any deal that ends up with Kyrie in LA and them getting out of Westbrook is a gift

    Why I don't want Durant

    the problem with the "we will still have a Batman & Robin" speculation is that championships are won with a Batman, Robin, and Catwoman -- and Booker may still just be a Robin in 2 years, being paid like a Superman

    Why I don't want Durant

    i do. but that's kind of the main concern with Durant. age. injury. maybe losing hope again is Durant the fix to our problem? or will he be par for the collision course that is the phx suns -- and the bust that was 2 seasons of the Jersey Nets?

    Why I don't want Durant

    unfortunately, the other side of the debate is that Durant seems to be the only promising opportunity to salvage our title hopes next season with CP3 with Ayton and Paul gone in 2 years we could essentially be back to Booker-ball and he'll be taking up about 55 million of cap space per year

    Why I don't want Durant

    i didn't follow enough of the Nets playoff games, but if my memory serves, i recall seeing Durant get punished in the 4th quarter of their elimination game -- ineffective with his one-on-one, neutralized, committing turnovers?

    Why I don't want Durant

    the anti-Durant trade sentiment is rising and i share it but i also share the sentiment of not being ready or willing to surrender our title aspirations for next season not adequately replacing Ayton, McGee, and Payne is not palatable. Ayton would have to be signed and we'd need some...

    The Durant Sweepstakes

    between Paul's hand issues, Booker's hamstrings, and Durant's health risks we'd have to get lucky to not become Nets 2 i'm lowering my Durant bid instead of raising it and considering their disrespect, i'm thinking about retracting it all-together in fact, go back and tell the Nets, "my offer...

    The Durant Sweepstakes

    hold the phone on all these sacrifices to get Durant here. why isn't anyone taking into consideration that he missed 27 games last season and 37 the year before and there's no reason to believe he'll miss any less after he's 34 in a couple of months?

    The Durant Sweepstakes

    we may have lost our best window of opportunity already but we still have a window without Durant so, imo, the Nets can get blanked if they think we're that desperate

    The Durant Sweepstakes

    i get the theory. but off the top of my head i can't think of any examples of overwhelming offensive power winning a championship without the team having a respectable level of defensive competence. the Nets and Lakers are recent exhibits A and B of the the flaw in the theory we don't want to be C

    The Durant Sweepstakes

    indeed. Bridges should be almost un-tradable because of his versatility as a defensive anchor. there are far fewer of him than there are of stars that can get you buckets. and every team needs a Bridges in their starting line-up. and yet, i wouldn't be surprised if he's never an all-star or...

    yes, the Suns seem to be a relatively minor mention in the ongoing Durant news breaks
