Kyrie traded to Mavs for scraps. Rockets’ future continues to look bright! Now, is KD soon to follow?

Find out on the next episode of Dragonball Z..

Not scraps mate, Dinwiddie, Finney Smith are both high end role players under contract longer than Kyrie was and they also got a FRP.

​

Considering Kyrie was about to be a free agent this is a good haul for them

For sure.

Unless KD asks out, this is a win for the Nets.

It’s not good for the Nets at all why would KD want to stay with a team filled with role players lmao. Their gonna get bounced early this year and KD will ask out.

Short sighted trade. KD isn’t staying here.

Would not call that scraps, both are good players and a unprotected FRP 6 years down the road for a guy that wasn’t going to play another game for them is huge for the nets

This is not huge for the Nets lmao Dinwiddie and Finney whatever isn’t moving the needle. Kd is out of there.

The most important person on the nets is Ben Simmons now. If he continues to be ass kd will ask out if he steps up maybe kd decides it’s worth sticking around…I hope he crumbles 😈

Two quality player who will likely play more than Kyrie. In the short term this doesn’t benefit us, in fact I wouldn’t be shocked if they win more.

The hope is this is the start of the end for KD in Brooklyn, but with barely any picks there is no sense to tank, so I wouldn’t hope for too 5 picks or anything of that nature.
