Kyrie was never part of the talks from what I’ve read.

Could be that, isn't the constant drum beat that Tilman Fertitta is highly leveraged and could be in the verge of bankruptcy. Maybe trying to save a penny here, a penny there.

For those interested:

James Harden might win a title with the Brooklyn Nets--and the value of that would be "priceless"--but his trade to New York will cost him as much as $13.6 million in new income taxes. @SportsTaxMan and I break down the numbers in a new @Sportico story: https://t.co/RDPgVuL9Yd

Glad Sixers didn't make the move. I was starting to accept the the deal mentally lol. I don't like the long term outlook for the Nets. They will have to hit on the 2nd round picks and potential swap picks. Harden and KD will be in mid 30s and I don't see him playing deep in 30s(probably won't be there anyway). I can see them ending up in same situation they just got out of fron the Boston trade

I think Sixers can still upgrade their backup 4 spot. Still like a guy like Saric.

Mike Antoni strikes again.

I don't care if he's undersized, get PJ Tucker to the Lakers ASAP!

A championship is the only thing that makes this worth it. This is all about the next 2 years, just like it is with both LA teams.

I won’t lose any sleep over not hitting on 2nd rd picks since those are always low risk/low reward moves anyway. Best bet to hopefully catch the ring chaser stragglers in FAs and whatever flexibility they’ll have to create over the new few years.

Wish we could’ve got Tucker back in the deal.

Does Marks know something about Kyrie that we don’t, hence the trade for Harden?
