 No, I just think the timing of this again. I think it was very strange. Like I felt like we just talked about kind of the drama is Finished and everything's in the past and Jack Vaughan's doing such a good job and Kyrie's an all-star starter and then this happens So that was confusing But listen, I like it for Brooklyn too. They give back future picks that they could build in the future and they get players That can't help them right now. I love Spence. I love Dorian Finney Smith He's one of those three and D guys that you know very very valuable in today's league But like Eddie said Kevin Durant doesn't have Kyrie Irving over there now And when double teams come you're now looking at you know, curry and Joe Harris and you know Cam Thomas is probably gonna get more minutes like who knows so it's gonna be a different look because it's a lot easier to guard One star than two stars and so they're gonna definitely have that hole to fill But listen, they got back picks they got back guys that can kind of fill in now And I still think they're right there in the thick of things in the east. I just I don't think they can win at all now But I want to I want to tap Katie But Choms just yes or no, I guess on this one real quick I'm gonna ask you because when this broke on Friday a lot of people were speculating because we sort of been here before with Kyrie is all of this just deploy is this is this a negotiation Option or is he still gonna be a net and people thought oh, he's not going anywhere Whatever was there ever a chance that he wasn't going to be moved to this time? No, I think wherever this ended up during these negotiations these contract negotiations and you know as this the last couple weeks went on I think Kyrie Irving was was out regardless whether the Nets had offered him a maximum contract extension Full four years guaranteed. He would have been out. I think he looked at I think when you talk about Kyrie Irving He's representative. I think they looked at this window of time right before the deadline him being a free agent at the end of the year is leverage and I think James Harden We saw him go through a similar process last year You don't want to lose a guy of that caliber for nothing And I think this was the moment that Kyrie Irving Strike and he used this moment in this week window that they had and requested a trade and so even if the Nets So yes breaking news for running back even if the Nets had offered a four-year 198 million dollar max contract Kyrie Irving would not have taken it and he would have gotten Forced a trade and as we saw he did not play before the trade And it didn't seem like there was any intention that he was ever gonna step foot for net for Nets uniform again Man that thing is broken. All right, Eddie. This is a gazillion dollar question Kevin Durant What happens now? I mean, it's a very easy spot. You're talking about somebody who eight months ago asked for a trade Very publicly and then admitted it on media day didn't didn't duck and hide from it said yeah I did and here's the reasons why and a lot of it was organizational a lot of it was The issue of when he went out they lost 10 games straight 11 games straight and how do they tread water without him? And how do they hold things together without him being there to be the tie that binds everything and When he goes out this year, they tread away their other superstar and he immediately asked out and you know They I guess they treaded water on the court, but they obviously didn't do that. Otherwise, so You know, he knows basketball. It's like Taylor Parsons those basketball and he looks at them and says probably thinks the same thing Chandler just said yeah, did they improve some stuff? Yeah, are they true title contenders now? I'm the most biased guy in the room, and I don't think there's true title contender now as they sit with this team right now So if anybody knows that it's him So there's got to be some frustration and if you're the Nets you got to be wondering a little bit about a guy who Just recently asked to be traded and the other guy who was asked who's essentially asked out twice now and got out What that means for the future of your team? You know a lot of talk about draft picks a lot of talking and then the pick they got from Dallas is 2029 the picks they were thinking about getting from the Lakers or 27 and 29 the the Sixers pick I think it's 27 or 26 depending on where it lands and all stuff Kevin's 34. It'll be 35 in September He what is a 2029 draft pick matter to Kevin Durant right now that guy is in eighth grade He does not care about the 2029 pick from whomever You have to be really aggressive and I know we're gonna talk about him And I know this is like you know hit it on your bingo card now And it took what are we looking at 18 minutes? But I look at him the same way as you look at LeBron If you're LeBron and the team you're with and it's your plan as well as you are at your age It's far in your career and titles is the only thing that matters and your team is not overly aggressive to improve Your roster to be a championship roster on the fly. Yeah, you got to fill away So I look at him and Kevin in the same boat You have to maximize the time you have prime Kevin Durant left and whatever LeBron is anti past prime Verily past still a little bit. Whatever. He's still amazing. He's averaging 30 points a game He's looks incredible. You have to maximize that and you're looking at two teams Who are kind of like fiddling around with whether or not they should and I think you might be looking at two disgruntled mega stars now not even in the summer now and You can't blame them and listen on the flip. I think that's exactly why Dallas makes a move like this because they have to maximize Luca Donkic and everyone's talking about how this is impossible to sustain And he's gonna get frustrated This just showed him vom Luca. I'm hyped. I'm willing to they're not gonna trade Luca if this doesn't work He's gonna walk in the summer and yeah, they have to rebuild it's probably worse than it was now But I have to respect I have to respect me go and I have to respect mark for making this bold move That is a risk at the end of the day and and and same thing for KD KD goes to Brooklyn to play with James Harden and Kyrie Irving He's now playing with with Ben Simmons and Royce O'Neill. So like it's it's it's a different dynamic That's not what he would there do and again that get he said this guy has to be traded. They didn't trade him Kyrie Get traded. They trade him 48 hours later So there's definitely if I'm KD if I'm frustrated I'm frustrated and talent trumps all in a situations like this and with Kyrie They're a contender and without Kyrie. They're not so if I'm KD. I'm definitely frustrated You know, we've seen we've seen we've seen this team before we've seen the team with great role-players And the one-star and they usually run into the team with great role-players and two stars three stars and beyond Look at the teams. We just saw play in the finals last year Steph Curry, Clay Thompson, Draymond Green, Jordan Poole who I would call a star at the moment as well And then the Celtics on the other end We have what we think is the best duo in the league the best wing though the best young duo Jason Tatum, Jaylen Brown the defensive player of the year the other guy who put a lot of people thought was the defensive player Dear great role-players. That's how you win titles. You don't win titles with the one-star and the great role-players That's just not how it happens So if you're LeBron and if you're Kevin you're sitting there and you're looking around and LeBron does have AD don't get me wrong But LeBron AD and Kyrie Irving and the way the West is right now We just talked about how vulnerable everybody is and and Chandler said, you know if nobody's gonna play defense We're gonna play defense either you put that trio on the court and all you lost was Russell Westbook and maybe Austin Reeves That's looking like a championship team whether we love it or hate it or whatever and so if you're LeBron, yeah I tweeted yesterday. He should be livid. He's me pissed and I bet he is you saw him in his press in the scrum the other day They asked him and he tried to play Koi. He tried to play as Koi as he could he said, yo, you know, that's a question for Rob That's the front office. I play basketball. They run the team blah blah blah and then he goes Duh duh, we would want Kyrie Irving and this team of course and so you know, he's upset Austin Reeves is like the Knicks not putting in Quentin Grimes. It's like that that that's what you you have it's like the Raptors The Raptors in with Scotty Barnes in that was the deal breaker, right? What are we doing? Yeah, like I don't really get it by the way shout out Ben Simmons For getting a pass this weekend and getting to go on a date with another Hollywood starlet because he just gets a slide Right under this all silently. I want to concentrate on the Lakers for a second and as basketball fans I do feel like we got ripped off, right? We got what 74 games of Kevin Durant and Kyrie playing to get the 74 in three seasons. Come on, man Like that's not right
