To be fair Porzingis did ultimatum them into the trade. He was done in New York.

They should've tried harder to make it right with him. He asked for a trade and they traded him 20 mins later.

Bodner on the Athletic is saying there's no way to do a Butler/Miami S&T without a third team because of salary restrictions.

Shouldn't be tough to find a third team. Lakers found one in the Davis trade to get cap space to make a run at Kawhi.

Alos, now that all these teams seem to have lots of cap space and no one to spend it on...

If we go back like 20 years, it's very possible their impending failure wouldn't even be in their top 10 of disastrous moves or developments.

I agree with this from a basketball perspective but the idea that a guy like KD would go to a joke franchise like the Nets over them pretty much only because their owner is such a clown isn't a good look.

There is no way KD is going to a second rate franchise like the Nets. They are about a billion times more second rate than the Clippers are.

The nets have actually been to the finals

As a Sixers guy, I'm not feeling that bad about this. Though I may end up feeling much worse about everything in a few hours, depending on the Butler situation.

If Kawhi stays or goes to the Clippers then the next couple of years are going to have an insane number of teams with a legit shot at the title.

Other best-case scenarios for maximum intrigue:

-Jimmy Butler stays
-Kevin Love gets traded to one of the second-tier West franchises
-Chris Paul finds a way to reverse the aging process

Look inside your heart. You know the Knicks are the joke franchise in this equation.

The Nets are/will be owned by the billionaire co-founder of Ali Baba. The commercial possibilities from that connection would be huge for these guys too

They were literally in the finals twice and not one person in this area cared in the slightest. They are the least relevant major pro sports team in the area.

They are a joke in different ways.
