#Cavs value size and versatility. They need a big wing with two-way potential. Ousmane Dieng watches Luka Doncic, Brandon Ingram, Kevin Durant and Paul George for tips and nuances. It’s a massive gamble on upside. Should the Cavs take it?

I would take Chet Holmgren No. 1 overall, especially after seeing this @P3sportscience assessment. We all know why Kristaps Porzingis is the first comp that people think of, but KD makes more sense to me.

📅 On this day in 2012, Kevin Durant became the second-youngest player in NBA history to average at least 30 PPG in a Finals.
The only player to do so at a younger age is Rick Barry in 1967. In fact, Barry is one of only three players to average at least 40 PPG in a Finals. pic.twitter.com/db65ddoRnl – 2:01 PM

The biggest variable in whatever happens between Kyrie and the Nets is how KD reacts.
Evidence from the past 3 years indicates where this is heading, unless something has dramatically changed. ziller.substack.com/p/how-kd-figur… – 8:51 AM

Just saw the video where Barkley said of KD that “he’s gonna have to win a championship as the guy, as the bus driver” to get respect, and he won’t get that respect until he achieves that very specific criteria.
Hmmmm … by that logic, isn’t Chuck saying we shouldn’t respect him? – 6:05 PM

And, maybe more important, how would Kevin Durant feel after Kyrie gave him the big recruiting pitch for Brooklyn (“Two max slots!”) at the 2019 All-Star game in Charlotte? pic.twitter.com/0TxAMPRubE – 11:24 AM

hard not to feel bad for KD, but he’s in a mess of his own making.
Durant chose to leave the comfy confines of Golden State and the chance to spend the rest of his career alongside another all-time great in Steph Curry.
Instead, KD decided to hitch his future to Kyrie Irving. – 10:19 AM

Celtics have Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum and made the NBA Finals.
Nets have seven playoff wins in three years of KD/Kyrie and now it all might be breaking up.
I guess Boston did win the trade after all!

Despite the Nets and Kyrie Irving hitting an impasse in their talks, both sides are still working to find a happy medium in Brooklyn rather than an exit strategy out of it. Or as a source told The Post “what’s good for both [sides].” -via New York Post / June 22, 2022
Several league sources said the perception is that this is a game of poker being played by Irving to bluff Nets GM Sean Marks into concessions, as The Post reported Monday. An ESPN report Tuesday concurred, and most around the league feel a return to Brooklyn is the most probable end result. -via New York Post / June 22, 2022
