It looks worse and worse by the day. KD wanted Phoenix and the Nets had already traded Kyrie. Everyone knew Brooklyn was in an impossible spot with a disgruntled star for an irrelevant franchise. Before Sarver was out JJ wouldn’t give up that monster package the first time around but Ishbia needs to make a splash his first week on the job and traded everything. In a billionaire poker match I’ll take Joe Tsai over Mat Ishbia.
So shortsighted. It was clear that we didn't acquire KD to make a title run last year either since we turned over 12 of 15 the roster spots, all but Booker, Okogie, and Damien Lee, as well as the head coach. So why rush to add KD to a team for a 2 month run and a short playoff showing? You don't flip 80% of the roster if you're 1 player away.
