YoloinOhio Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 5 minutes ago, JohnC said: The Nets prefer Kyrie over DLO. They held up on signing DLO until they knew they had Kyrie under contract. If DLO goes to LA or wherever it is because he was let go by his own team. Also, it was because the Nets signed Irving that they were also able to sign Durant. That wouldn't have been the case if DLO was signed instead of Irving. He went to the Warriors on a huge deal - sign and trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great place for him because it will be an environment where he will become a more balanced player. The best thing that happened to him is leaving LA and starting over where it was a better environment for him to mature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will likely be traded next off season. If those reports are true the warriors are going to ruin their reputation with players a la the celtics trading i.t. Unless dlo was in on this from the start.... The nba off season is much shorter than the NFL's but man it is so much more interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westbrook alone does them no good, so they wanted the picks. Not sure what will happen with CP3. It has to suck to be a okc fan. At one point you were in the finals and had Durant, Harden, and Westbrook, 3 of the best players and biggest stars in the league. Then one by one they are all gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t really earn it, it was just that Curry wasn’t all that impressive, so the cynics and haters had to find someone else. Cornbread Maxwell was another cynical pick by the jaded media.

Just getting up, will flutter around the interwebs a bit to see what I am missing (edit) owed $124M for next 3 seasons..not bad work if ya can find it eh? has to be flipped, no doubt. Will prolly have to take a pretty good clip on a buyout..which i guess you can do in the NBA? OKC now has 16 first round picks through 2026..GMTM is calling them them with expertise on how to use that haul!

section122 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Cp3 is the perfect guy to lead the tank for okc. Don't forget he was on the new orleans hornets teams that played in okc after katrina. He has clearly diminished skill wise which actually works for them. Big enough name to sell tickets, bad enough player to not cost then draft positioning. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. I really dislike cp3 he and harden were the worst duo. Both very good players but harden's style of always looking for a foul and cp3s dirty play/constant whining did not make for fun basketball viewing. Edit and now woj is reporting that okc hopes to move him quickly and without him playing at all for them.

stony Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I suppose it's good asset management by Morey. Even though his contract is ludicrous, RW is younger and better at this point than CP3. And when you factor in Paul's remaining term, RW is more valuable over the next couple of seasons. I just can't see him playing second fiddle to Harden.
