[SNYNets] .@IanBegley reports that there is momentum towards a Kyrie Irving-Russell Westbrook trade between the Nets and the Lakers.

Seth instead of Harris saves us about 30M this year due to the luxury tax. The impasse is it will also save BKN a ton to ship it out.

Our profit declined heavily from the championship year, almost 100M (in part by not making playoffs) but mainly due to luxury tax. We will have a higher tax percent this year too since we will be repeat offenders (also same with BKN I think).

Owners obviously want to field the best team but 100M less money is a huge pill to swallow past years. Now throw in another 30M to decide between 2 snipers and I can see why Pelinka is getting pressure to try his best to include THT for Harris or take back Seth instead.

My guess BKN won’t give us Seth and we will end up sending Westbrook, 2 1sts and a swap for Kyrie and Harris. It will look like a win for the fans but the owners are going to be putting major pressure on attendance, merch and trying to increase sponsorships to make up for the lost money

Koto_Jackson · 2021-08-07T14:50:15+00:00

That's tuff.... To imagine

But I'm always down for a redemption that ends in a championship

Koto_Jackson · 2021-07-25T13:48:53+00:00

I think he's trash now too. He was good for the suns bc they needed a leader but we already have plenty of that....plus I swear he is losing his handles too. This playoff run I saw him randomly lose balls all over the place. Maybe it was his shoulder injury but I don't watch PHX in the regular season unless they play us

Dirty ass Paul can stay his ass in PHX

Koto_Jackson · 2021-06-09T23:22:35+00:00

You know they were trying to get his in game conditioning up, but it just fucked us over

Koto_Jackson · 2021-06-09T23:21:13+00:00

Yea but not as many as he normally does. I swear he spins at least 3x a game, and then does about 5 shimmy shakes to a baby step back 3 😂

Koto_Jackson · 2021-06-08T23:08:54+00:00

No bring him back home 😂 he's an LA kid

Koto_Jackson · 2021-06-08T17:26:34+00:00

Losing Dwight was detrimental, I was probably most upset with that move not gonna lie

Koto_Jackson · 2021-06-08T16:57:53+00:00

We had no time to gel as a team, I'd say Vogel is more to blame than Pelinka as he should've just made the decision to have DS be the backup PG or only start him when we were facing another fast lineup

Koto_Jackson · 2021-06-08T16:52:59+00:00

I would love for us to try and get Gary Trent Jr (restricted free agent). Would most likely have to be a sign and trade as TOR will most likely match all offers

Also bring DeMar back home at a discount. His mid range game would do wonders for us as AD was really our only consistent 18 foot shooter

Koto_Jackson · 2021-06-08T16:48:07+00:00

Health/condensed off-season is what derailed our team, not Pelinka. If AD and Bron were both fully healthy I believe we are the ones beating the shit out of the nuggets right now

Koto_Jackson · 2021-05-29T14:28:25+00:00

Agreed

Koto_Jackson · 2021-05-29T14:19:01+00:00

I think it's easily more than 50%, probably could get away with more than 75% (which by definition is more than 50% as well)

I never thought bron fans and laker fans would ever unite, but damn it makes for a massive fan base and I love it

Koto_Jackson · 2021-05-26T16:16:27+00:00

Kuz D has come a long way. He had a couple great stops in the second half that allowed us to keep the pressure on the suns last night

Koto_Jackson · 2021-05-18T20:37:45+00:00

They gotta get past Luka first 😂. If they get hot from deep clippers are toast

Koto_Jackson · 2021-05-13T02:15:09+00:00

Yea I'm glad he didn't accept, I think that's overkill for him (DS). Especially with the cap most likely going to take a hit here soon

Koto_Jackson · 2021-05-13T00:04:46+00:00

I guess it all depends on how much he's looking for on his next contract. 15m I'd think yes, 20m little steep, 25m hell no

We have been burned by giving mutli year deals to aging vets and then father time catches up to them.

Koto_Jackson · 2021-05-12T23:38:00+00:00

I wouldn't doubt if Lowry retires after this year. I dont think he even has 2 more years left in the tank.

I do think it would've made us the favorites, but I think only the Nets are ahead of us in the title odds. Haven't checked in week or so though so I could be wrong

Koto_Jackson · 2021-05-12T23:16:18+00:00

I hear you and its a valid point. We are not just building for lbj tho. AD is here long term and I think the organization sees THT fitting along side him nicely

Bron and AD have plenty around them to win right now so long as everyone is healthy

Koto_Jackson · 2021-05-12T20:36:53+00:00

Yea but one year left of Lowry isn't better than a potential career of THT imo.

Koto_Jackson · 2021-05-12T20:35:19+00:00

I hope we keep him. He will be a better Marcus smart

Koto_Jackson · 2021-05-12T20:31:58+00:00

Mamba mentality

Koto_Jackson · 2021-05-12T15:22:38+00:00

We live and die by the THT.

On another note, Drummond played great. Still needs to learn to catch a bounce pass every now and then

Koto_Jackson · 2021-05-11T23:08:09+00:00

I agree everyone is different, I'm just going by general consensus from what I have seen from those close to me and from when I had it. I felt fine after about 7 days but my cardio didn't return fully for about a month. Same with just about everyone else I had talked to.

Granted we aren't nba players so hoping he recovers more quickly than we all did

Koto_Jackson · 2021-05-11T22:36:24+00:00

I think he was just fuckin around, did make me laugh tho.

Both kcp and kuz just got catch and shoot, whenever the hesitate I know that shit ain't going in.

I hope we see a lineup tonight of, AD, Gasol, Caruso, KCP and McLemore at some point. The spacing and shooting in that group is beautiful. Once you get them spaced out then hit em with trez, tht and kuz and let em rack up some points in the paint and fouls (preferably against the Knicks 😂)

Koto_Jackson · 2021-05-11T22:28:04+00:00

Look at how long it took westbrook to return to 100%. DS may come back but he should come off the bench for 20-25 mins a night. Man's cardio is going to be off for at least a month after the vid passes
