The Bigfooty NBA Week 17 Thread - "Insane" trade sees Aussie NBA Star Kyrie Irving headed to the Mavericks

Suns fans hold onto your hats.

Suns are done as a franchise. That’s franchise killing move for 5 years. That’s hideous.
Cam Johnson is developing, Mikal Bridges is a underrated gun. Three picks.
For a 35 year old. KD Will leave after this season.

CP3 and KD gone. Phoenix have nothing left

 

[Memphis]

Oooooohhhhh

That's a bloody good haul for Brooklyn imo

Just remember jazz got more for gobert LOL.

I know durant is great but at his age thats a massive overpay by the Suns imo. He might only have a couple good years left and they arent winning the league in that time. 2 r1s + players would have been enough.

Wow kept managed it with no ayton, cp3 or booker

They are all in for the chip in the next 18 months. I’d be okay with it

They’re not winning.

Mikal Bridges is way more valuable than CP3 and Ayton these days

This is potentially KG and Paul Pierce to Brooklyn all over again.

Suns selling their soul for KD. Bold strategy, let's see if it works out for them

Why are they all in it for the next 18 months? They wont win it and if they dont its a massive overpay as KD wont be there for the next wave. You dont give up guys like johnson and a whole bunch of picks (ie the future) unless you know you are going to win now to make the pain later worth it.

 

[Iceman!]

If they stay fit they surely win it this year. that is a ridiculously good top 4

Well I think they are favourites now personally.

Oh I agree they are, but I thought ayton and bridges were going to have to be Included

Why?

Still got Denver coming out of the West tbh.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

As an aside it will be interesting to see what the nets do.
Do they plot a long term path around thomas and johnson and claxton and a whole bunch of good draft picks? Or do they try and bring in some older leaders as well?

 

[DT_35]

I hate being a fan of a small market team.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Well I think they are favourites now personally.

Favourites? Nah they are not at that level imo.
They clearly think they are but they are wrong.

 

[nahnah]

When your team has no more games vs Phoenix or Dallas and 2 more vs nets >>>

 

[peternorth]

Arizona weather should be good for KDs ailments.

Look2Me4Guidance big city team hits the jackpot again.

#Kdmynextchapter


East lost two all stars to the west.

Wow, I didn't think hotchilli would react to the Durant blockbuster trade in such an extreme way

One of the more weird day/nights in recent NBA history

Bill Simmons emergency podcast is going to be lit

Rockets twitter is ridiculously hyped with the KD news right now.

All those Nets 1st round picks look juicier.

Curious, why would Houston be hyped?

WCF matchup with KD v Kyrie and Doncic v Suns could be huge

Storylines everywhere
