Around the League: Week 16 (1/30 - 2/5)

[Shabazz]

I think if KD to PHX happens, it’ll be a summer move.

[Flagrant Fowl]

A 2029 unprotected pick.

"Mavs can see how it goes and decide on a new deal in the offseason." That's not how dealing with Kyrie Irving works.

[Superbone]

Luka/Kyrie is dangerous, but that Dallas roster is thin. Their defense is gonna struggle with Kyrie/Luka/Wood

Luka is going to have to learn how to share the ball.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I don't think Luka has a problem sharing the ball with guys who can do something with it.

[Wally_West]

People on twitter saying Mavs gonna try to go all in now for OG. Go for it.

[Split T]

What do they still have to trade?

[Split T]

Kyrie plays well off ball, his best years were playing off LeBron

[Flagrant Fowl]

They'll have to do something with the protection on the pick they owe to the Knicks. It's top 10 protected for the next 3 drafts.

What do they still have to trade?

They gave up only their 2029 1st round pick to get Kyrie, so presumably they would offer contract ballast plus future 1sts.

[Mori Chu]

The tweets on this trade are a real delight.

[Split T]

So the most they can trade is 2 1sts, if they remove the protection on the pick they owe the Knicks in 2023. Does Josh Green/THJ and 2 1sts get OG?

[Drewsprocket]

Anybody got an idea of what teams have competitive packages for KD? Can Toronto offer better?

I think Toronto is completely out…doesn’t make sense. I can’t imagine anyone being able to make it happen except us..perhaps New Orleans if they want to go all in.

I do wonder if we could involve Toronto to take Ayton and give Brooklyn OG along with other stuff.

Yeah Pels have a good offer if they wanted. The ball right now has got to be in KD’s court. If he wants to play for us, he needs to move now to jump on the CP3 timeline this year. KD has the leverage right now to say he tried.

Feels more like rosterbation tbh

[Flagrant Fowl]

So the most they can trade is 2 1sts, if they remove the protection on the pick they owe the Knicks in 2023. Does Josh Green/THJ and 2 1sts get OG?

I like Josh Green, but that doesn't seem like enough talent and Luka is locked up so those picks would most likely not be in the lottery.

[Flagrant Fowl]

What the hell is going on with this guy?

[Wally_West]

What the hell is going on with this guy?

Bro wtf!

[Split T]

Ja was pretty likable coming into the league but he’s going the other way fast

[Flagrant Fowl]

Usually this kind of stuff comes from guys who grew up in difficult environments. Broken families, poverty, etc...

That's not the case with Morant. Seems more like he's cosplaying a gangster.

[bajanguy008]

Yeah was coming on to post that headline
That is mind boggling if not disturbing
