Per Caesars: Among all NBA title bets placed today at Caesars Sportsbook, a seismic 77% of the total number of tickets and 94% of the total dollars wagered are on the Nets: down to 30-1 from 50-1 amid report KD-Kyrie could somehow possibly stay – 9:04 PM
Something I’m unclear on with the Durant trade request. It’s because of how the Nets treated Kyrie Irving? Like, he’s so close with Kyrie and back him and didn’t like how the Nets treated/handled Kyrie? – 7:24 PM
Cleaning up a hard drive and found this Kevin Durant commercial from his rookie season, which aired during a Rockets game. Seems like it applies today. pic.twitter.com/DUt4sqic0L – 7:23 PM
Durant and Irving situations being the obvious exceptions, I don’t think there’s much more to do. There’s little in the way of malcontents, bad deals, obvious rotation holes, etc. We might get Tobias/John Collins deals in the aftermath, but I don’t see anything seismic coming in. – 6:47 PM

Say you’re the Raptors and you can get Durant by trading two of FVV/Siakam/Anunoby (with picks and such). Which of the three would you want to keep?
Siakam is the best player. FVV has the most complementary skill set. OG is the youngest, cheapest and has the most room to grow. – 6:34 PM
Why KD is way more likely to stay in Brooklyn than land in Toronto in a mega deal. pic.twitter.com/xdKw9KPf0h – 6:07 PM
The addition of Roby also gives the Spurs a full boat of 15 contracts (I am assuming Gallinari is waived soon).
Their boucoups salary cap space remains a prime dumping ground for teams hoping to clear salary for, let’s say, Kevin Durant and/or Kyrie Irving. – 5:47 PM
Last time TJ Warren was healthy, he averaged 19.8 PPG and shot 57.5% on 2s and 40.3% on 3s. Since 2010, only 6 others have done that: Steph Curry, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, KAT, MPJ and John Collins.
