leaving it up to the capologists to add pieces to make this legal. Here’s my mega proposal:
Knicks: Mitchell
Pacers: Barrett, Toppin
Jazz: Westbrook (expiring), two picks from Lakers, one from Nets, two picks Pacers, two from Knicks.
Nets: Turner, Fournier
Lakers: Irving – 4:00 PM

Fourteen of the most popular NBA players missed a combined 67 percent of available regular-season games last year, from Ben Simmons to Zion to Kyrie to LeBron. It’s a troubling trend, ⁦@The Athletictheathletic.com/3424723/2022/0…1:59 PM

“I never even expected to come into a situation like Brooklyn, where I had Kyrie and KD take me under their wing,” @Cam Thomas told @Andscape.

Cam Thomas focused on improvement amid Nets’ Kyrie Irving-Kevin Durant uncertainty. The second-year guard, who is leading the #NBA summer league in scoring, has taken valuable lessons from his All-Star teammates.

It obviously isn’t happening, but I just allowed myself to imagine Kyrie Irving getting traded to the Bucks.
Their 2029 1st is tradable now. They could come close to matching salary with Lopez and Grayson (albeit with a HUGE tax bill). If healthy, they’d basically be unbeatable. – 2:29 PM

Jose Alvarado says his next major target in the NBA for a little Grand Theft Alvarado is Kyrie Irving. – 6:39 PM

I think you can read the latest Kyrie update in one of two ways:
Kyrie Irving is unpredictable and unknowable, and the Lakers stuff has either been BS from Day 1 or he’s changed his mind.
OR
The Nets are really grasping at straws when it comes to leverage here – 5:32 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
On Kyrie Irving: I don’t know what to believe. I’ve just sort of thrown my hands in the air at this point. I’m just going to say that when one new report contradicts weeks of consistent reporting from a variety of sources, I treat that new report with skepticism. – 1:50 PM

Kyrie Irving reportedly wants to stay with Nets as Durant trade process drags out nba.nbcsports.com/2022/07/13/kyr…1:27 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
If the Lakers can somehow make the Turner/Hield trade AND the Pat Bev trade, I’d be totally fine missing out on Kyrie. That’s just an awesome combination of shooting and defense around LeBron and AD.
But I have no confidence in the Lakers to make either trade, so Kyrie it is! – 1:11 PM

More on this storyline

 

Jake Fischer: From my conversations with people in the league, seems pretty clear Kyrie’s accepting the fact that he is overwhelmingly likely to be back in Brooklyn. -via Spotify / July 16, 2022
