Betrayer Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 He was already looking like a train wreck with throwing his mouth guard at a fan and his drug using social media posts. And now this.

Motown Bombers Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 The Nets did everything Durant wanted and he still asks to be traded. It's getting tiring these stars demanding to be traded every couple years because things don't go their way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betrayer Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 5 minutes from the Finals with a home grown team...nah, let me go join the team that beat us for an easy championship instead. Now he wants to go the #1 seeded Suns. Classic Durant. How many more bridges will he burn before he's done? Between him, Harden, and Kyrie, it was nice having almost all of the players I hate on the Nets for a while. Spreading them out is going to make it harder to root for a team in the playoffs next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleterious Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 Durant is an interesting situation. A player of his caliber be available with 4 years left on his contract and without a no trade clause. Not sure we have ever had this happen. NJ can deal him anywhere and he has almost no say other than threatening not to play. But he misses out on 4 years and $50M a year doing that.

Deleterious Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 Probably the most controversial contract so far. People seem to be losing their mind about the $87M numbers. But over 5 years that is $17.5M per year which is less than 15% of your cap space. For a guy that scores 15+ ppg and plays good defense. Good value now IMO and looks like a steal if Dort can up his three point shooting a couple of points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddha Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 not sure what to think about that bagley deal. betting on upside, i guess. hopefully we can use our cap space to facilitate a durant deal...pick up some extra picks. is divencenzo a possibility?

Deleterious Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 My issue with the Bagley deal is Detroit negotiated against itself. He is restricted so let him bring you an offer then match it. I think the odds of a team making him an offer were pretty small. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984Echoes Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I guess they were trying to do the "right thing"? But I agree... that only works if he develops. Here's to hoping he does... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYLion Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 The Bagley contract is a bit of an overpay but not anything egregious. He's a pretty well rounded post scorer so if he improves his defense, the contract won't be an issue. My only problem is that they have all these bigs but none of them are floor stretchers outside of Olynyk who is old as dirt and oft injured. Looking at a Bagley, Stewart and Duren frontcourt long term and I can't see a fit unless Stewart starts hitting that 3 with more consistency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pistons will be playing him at power forward the next three years and I am not all that excited about have two big guys on the court that can't shoot.

Deleterious Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 Why are you making this trade if KD is out the door? I wonder if this was agreed to before KD asked out and Brooklyn is just sticking to their word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to have around $60m cap space as it looks now. The only multi-year commitment they made was Bagley and that was fully expected. Meh is good, who the hell wants to splurge in this free agent market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
