Yeah, that's a no from me as well. Bridges, Ayton, four picks and three pick swaps for KD is just not reasonable. Swap Bridges for Johnson and a fillers, take a couple of picks out, and I'd think about it.

That’s the absolute most I’d give and I wouldn’t be happy doing it. I’d be doing it because the alternative is walking away with just turner for Ayton.Ayton/Bridges/4 1sts/3 swaps with Utah?
I bet the Suns think that's too much. (I do too)
Unless we're getting another decent wing back, (Clarkson or something like that) I'm not sure I'd do it.
Pacers are big winners there. Nets as well as they send kd where he wants to go and also unload Simmons while getting back two good young players - one of which will be viewed as a star bYeah I don’t like how we’re the only ones giving up crazy picks

According to TJ money isn’t the issue, he’s gone. I’ve seen nothing that leads me to believe otherwise at this point.Is the situation with Ayton that bad? Would giving him max make him happy? I thought the Jazz were interested also.
If we are giving up Bridges and all our picks and only getting back KD, yeah I think that is too much.Ayton/Bridges/4 1sts/3 swaps with Utah?

Honestly if that is the deal, I think the Nets are getting a damn good returnYou must be registered for see images attach
That trade doesn't mesh with what the Nets have been asking from every team. All the rumors are the same. When they talk to team they are asking for multiple 1st round picks in return. Makes complete sense. The Nets gave up a ton for Harden. They gave Houston three unprotected first-round picks in 2022, 2024 and 2026. Then they pick swapped with them in 2021, 2023, 2025 and 2027.You must be registered for see images attach
I've actually heard the opposite. Marks supposedly wants players now not draft picks, because he's worried about keeping his job.That trade doesn't mesh with what the Nets have been asking from every team.

The Nets are trying to rebuild their draft stock. That deal doesn't get it done. It's not just about the players they can get now. The Nets have been pretty consistent with their asking price. I don't see them trading Kyrie or KD without pick compensation.
Almost every trade rumor out there has multiple picks coming back to the Nets in their trade demands. Most of the trades suggesting the opposite have been fan or media driven. Look at all of the trade rumor articles and Tweets posted on this forum. They all have been pretty consistent.I've actually heard the opposite.

I think that is because it is what the Suns want to give up, not necessarily what the Nets want.Almost every trade rumor out there has multiple picks coming back to the Nets in their trade demands.

I don't want to include anyone for Durant trade, including Durant.I don’t want to include Bridges for Durant trade.
Nobody thinks we can get Durant for Bridges straight up.I don't want to include anyone for Durant trade, including Durant.
But the idea of the Nets trading Durant for nothing but Bridges, straight up, is absurd. It requires the sort of negotiation posture where you assume your partner's an idiot. Danny Ainge might have done that, knowing him; but I wouldn't.
3.8, 8.3, 7.8, 17.3/10.2I don't either but $10 million or so over a 4 year contract is not worth losing Ayton over when other players like Jalen Brunson are earning over a $100 million for 4 years.
I’m not too worried about future picks because there are so many factors a) lottery luck b) getting the right guy (I mean teenager) c) developing him correctly... Hell look at 2015, if Kaminsky isn’t taken we don’t get Book. A lot is out of your control.The draft is overrated if your front office sucks and can’t scout. It wasn’t always this way for the Suns
There was a time when we couldn’t miss. Finley, Nash, Marion, STAT, Barbosa
Even recently Booker, Bridges, Ayton, Cam Johnson and Stix all look like they have a future.
Good teams invest in scouting and the future.
Yes, it's bad. Ayton feels slighted that he sacrificed his development in 20-21 for the betterment of the team and that it was not recognized in the form of a 5-year max contract last offseason. Ayton wants more offensive responsibilities and Monty wasnt willing to accomodate.Is the situation with Ayton that bad? Would giving him max make him happy? I thought the Jazz were interested also.
soon it will be the “Durant Delima“ and the ”CP Conundrum“ threadsOver 5000 posts on this thread. Amazing. Does anyone have a real job?

i disagree. It's not bad, it's overblown. The Lakers and 3 teams in the East, mainly Durant's Nets, had real bad issues. This Ayton stuff is more of the garden-variety -- both sides wanting more from each other. Greedy agent, immature player. Common stuff teams go through and can get through.
it's fair to say Ayton wanted more offensive responsibilities, but i'd say Monty, and everyone else, wanted him to have even more than he really could handle. With Ayton not being aggressive enough to get open and hold on to passes, the responsibility was more his than anyone else's, and he's not mature enough or experienced enough to understand that -- yet.
