That seems like a no brainer in terms of what the Nets can get in return Suns vs Miami.
Speculation or did you read this some place? Kyrie opting in makes sense for Kyrie, I don't know what it says about the Nets, Ayton, Durant or even Kyrie's future.
Announced on the radio that Kyrie opted in. Now if they want to trade Kyrie is severely limits his trade options. I think they said only the Knicks have room?!? If KD was waiting to hear what happens with Kyrie sounds like he is now staying.
Okay but what's the bearing on Ayton? And why would that make them want to trade Durant? It seems to me it's more likely a forerunner to a multiple team trade that puts Kyrie next to Lebron and Westbrook next to somebody else.
Late round picks and filler isn’t going to trump dejountey murray.
Ah. Man I would think that would be a given considering Paul should throttle back a bit and Ayton is heading into year 5. I mean, let him know he gets more touches but we expect a LOT more FTs. Like double (asking him to average 6 FTs shouldn’t be a huge ask).
All the reports were that Durant was waiting on what happened to Kyrie. Meaning Durant isn't going anywhere now. Also, the reports were the reason Kyrie opted and decided to play for the Nets because they couldn't find any partners in a sign and trade.
They also said Ayton to Nets dropped off many sports book sites.
If the Spurs are willing to trade Murray for John Collins, they’ll sure as hell will be open to trading Murray for Ayton. If that’s on the table we have to explore it.
Fair. I’d say the same thing to him
If he opted out, he wouldn't have needed a trade partner.
Sorry, those were two separate statements. I was just typing as they were talking. They said Kyrie's team couldn't find any trade partners in a sign and trade scenario. So, I think the implication was that he would just opt in and resolved to the fact he would play for the Nets next year. Which seems weird because there were many reports saying the Lakers were interested.
I’d explore it. But I also want to know why the spurs are looking to get off murray.
Okay, I re-read your original post and it all makes sense now. My confusion was that when you said "Ayton to the Nets is done", I thought you meant "it's a done deal".
Oh sorry.....I meant the trade scenario. It's what I get for typing and listening at the same time.
