I think SAS is just talking trash takes so that they’d have a balance in the conversation. But JJ has great points

“Here’s what you’re missing” and proceeds to tell me the sky is blue. Thanks Stephen.

You don’t have to sign him, you can go and get Harder if you unload Simmons for picks and then restructure Tobias Harris’s contract and release him and pay the dead cap and then we can pay for Harden without giving up Maxey or Thybull. Simple especially for someone like Morey

Blazers, for instant rebuild, trade lilard for Ben Simmons plus picks.
Then trade Ben Simmons for James wiseman plus picks.
Instantly blazers get 7 foot lotto pick teenager that does it all, and a boatload of picks to pair with wiseman who is gonna be a Scarier version of Giannis in 3-4 years and able to play for nearly two decades.

Yo that was valid point by Molly. But we don’t need another ball dominating player, mend the fences get Ben back see what happens.

No team has ever been coddled and giving all these “what if” passes as much as last year’s Nets. They still had a chance to beat Milwaukee and they lost. Period. Get over it. Kyrie ain’t never healthy anyway. Do we do this same thing for the 2018 Celtics when he was hurt for example? No. So stop doing it with this Nets team. You don’t get a pass for being injury prone divas!

Stephen A is so petty sometimes. I think he honestly feels like he has to be right about everything. JJ is really smart and is definitely giving him a run for his money.

Make jj permanent for basketball!! We don’t need to see Michael Irvin talk basketball. And please stop Molly from butting in, you don’t have to share your opinion every 4 minutes

Stepehen A cant talk about “just basketball perspective” without consideration of capspace because that is always part of trades lol
