2022 NBA Offseason - Rest in Peace Bill Russell

[PAOerfulone]

Another offseason and it's always something involving Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and the Lakers.

Honestly, if I'm the Nets GM, I would tell KD "You've got 4 years left on your deal and you'll be 37 by the time it's up. And I'm not trading you unless I get a blow-away, Full House deal. Bigger than what the Jazz got for Gobert. So, until that happens, you better just suck it up, go out there, and play."

As for Kyrie, he's most likely gone after this year assuming a deal doesn't get done now or before the trade deadline. And all roads seem to lead to the Lakers. Honestly, if I'm the Lakers, I'd just wait it out. If Kyrie really wants to be there, they can just wait for his current deal to expire and then sign him in FA next offseason without giving up any assets. Because there's no way the Nets would ever agree to a straight up one-on-one swap for Westbrook given how much he'll be making next season.
