Checking in on NBA - Brooklyn Trade, etc

[Villian07]

I cant believe dallas let porzingus go for next to nothing, that was just a suprising as the harden trade to me.

Hope we get to see Philly vs Brooklyn at some point

Kyries behavior really soured things. I still think it would have worked on the court but the combination of personalities and some unfortunate circumstances made it not come to fruition. I don’t think the Harden trade is necessarily bad for the Nets though. They got a solid shooter and a great defender, which they needed badly.

On paper, it’s a very good lineup but too many questions around Kyrie and Simmons for now.

Kyrie’s personality and behavior was a well known risk. Should have never brought him in. Durant and Harden would be a good pair.

I agree. Harden really made the Nets go last year, a lot more than Kyrie. But that’s who KD wanted to play with. Without bringing in Kyrie, the Nets weren’t getting KD

We're slowly trending to these guys heading to pasture. Philly was able to keep some core guys with that trade I still think it goes through Milwaukee but I'm not watching as much as I have in previous years. I don't even know the seeding.

And that’s exactly why you shouldn’t listen to players.

Is Embiid the best player in the nba?

If not, close to it.

If not, close to it.

He is so dominant…but always flirting with an injury.

He's getting there, definitely the MVP this year so far.

Is Embiid the best player in the nba?

Currently, probably.

This trade won't be a push, it's gonna be a big win one way or the other probably.

It probably sets up Philly better in the short term but I think it’s also a good move for Brooklyn long term as long as Simmons returns to form

I think it’ll be a repeat of lst years finals. I’m intrigued by the East though. Alot of teams with similar records. Could pose match up problems with seeding.
