The way the Shams tweet was worded, I’m not sure this is likely.
You mean the part where he quoted Kyrie? As if anyone should take Kyrie at his word on any topic?

What if the Suns were to acquire the circus of Kyrie instead of KD? Wouldn't be as expensive to acquire.
I'd rather have Ayton on a max contract.

The hardest pass.
I'd rather go to the circus than have it come to us.

Yeah none of this means Kyrie or KD are in Brooklyn during training camp.
But it likely means it will all take a lot longer to transpire, and the Suns may have Ayton signed or matched by the time Brooklyn is ready to trade KD. Which means no DA for KD, since they wouldn’t be able to trade DA until December 15.

If Kyrie's staying then KD is staying in Brooklyn to see how they go with Simmons you would think

Conversely, I think KD cares about basketball more than anything else and his two "best" teammates are part-time players.

Nothing is saying Kyrie is staying. He opted in to his 36M so he didn't lose it. But it allows the Nets to trade a guy that is now under contract and an expiring 36M deal and a guy likely playing for his last big contract. Very unlikely he will miss half the season or half-ass it.

I don't think that is true. I think they are currently working on deals and trying to line them up for July 1st.

To be clear, I am not pulling a Flex or saying that this will happen. I just don't believe that either is going to be in Brooklyn come training camp. Same for Ayton.

More pressure on the Lakers to make a move for Kyrie.

UFA's can do whatever they want before July 1st.

But yeah, Klutch probably worked with the Clippers to set it up in advance before the buyout. Not sure it really matters though.

If the Suns trade for Kevin Durant, I will buy and watch that movie Thunderstruck. I’ll even write a review and post it.

If KD doesn’t demand a trade and is convinced to stay, his karma will be playing his ass off with two half ass teammates.

Gambo says there's a better chance of the Suns ending up with Kyrie than KD.

If the Suns could somehow acquire Kyrie and keep Ayton I'd be totally fine with it.

Mikal and CamJ plus picks and filler? That is what it would take, right?

Also, I am not sure Kyrie is a James Jones guy.

And I don't think I would do Cam J straight up for him. He isn't worth the circus. Maybe Cam Payne. :lol:
