It's going to be in the middle of Luka's prime so they are gambling that it's going to be a low pick. Kyrie is 7 years older than Luka. By then, he'll probably be hiding in a bunker waiting for aliens to arrive.

Mavs definitely rolling the dice, their defense will be terrible and they need to get going fast too if they hope to resign Kyrie.

Conley likely fits better for Minnesota, and I guess Lakers got more bodies for Westbrook, just pretty certain D'Angelo isn't really moving them forward.

I think I've literally watched zero Timberwolves games this year, so I have no idea how this would help them, if it would.

I'd say the nets org. got it done even if it works out great for Mavs / sun's. But sadly Simmons is still a big elephant in the room.

Wolves are going to build around Edwards and Towns. I think they don't want to pay Russell so they traded him.

Suns didn't give up much for KD. Mikal Bridges is the big one.

Nets got a couple good 3 and D wings. Might be decent if they can land a star.

That is true. Assuming Durant doesn't suddenly fall off a cliff, 2023 and 2025 should be low. Who knows about 2027 and 2029 since Booker is their only young star. Ayton is not quite star level.

Plus three first round picks and a swap (!). That's sounds pretty much fair, imo, for one of the best players in the world (who will probably decline a bit in the coming years because of age/injuries).

And I think Nets would've kept the team if Irving didn't ask to be traded. Durant was willing to play through a trade request and was actually producing. Of course, he's also a bit injury prone now.

Strange that the Bucks are sending all those 2nd round picks away to pick up Crowder while the Warriors sent Wiseman away to pick up a ton of 2nd round picks. Warriors trying too hard to both contend and build for the future. Considering the Wiseman miss, I don't think that's going to work.

basically wiseman for GP2 + whatever knox turns into (some bags of balls most likely)

every trade has 5 2nd round picks

this video too funny
