It is part of Robs job to convince them |
Exactly! Dude can’t close tho. I guess he needed to sit in Otto’s driveway instead of using the 500k burner line.

Just because the Lakers target a player doesn't mean that player is interested in playing for them.

| As mentioned, the only interest from the 76ers for Kyrie would be for his expiring contract and to unload the Tobias Harris contract. |

There’s no appetite for him in Philly.
The Lakers are the Nets only current suitor.
Per Nick Wright.
Sorry if this has been posted. This has to get done. |
We need reporters to tell us that? We already knew even before Kyrie opted in that he would only play for the Lakers so the Lakers are his only destination.
Philly and Mavs are just noise in an attempt to give the Nets more leverage. I'm sure Pelinka will not fall for social media's tricks.

Do we entertain that move? Westbrook for Thybulle and Harris? |
I have bought up that possibility a few weeks ago, I would only consider it if the Irving deal falls apart. |

| Well, if we want to sign Kyrie next year, then we have to hold on to Brick this year. We actually need his expiring contract. |

| Trade should be done unless they are haggling over the small details. |

Have to get Kyrie now bro. Not wait until next year…no guarantee we’ll get him like PG, who everyone thought would come play with Bron. Also, the FA signings don’t compliment Russ at all….not one is a knock down shooter. This is the moment right now….it’s Kyrie or bust. The only other trade that would salvage this team if Kyrie fails is getting Turner and Hield for Russ. Longshot. |

I know who this is from but why don't you please leave a link or a source. |
Because I am posting from my iPhone and I have no idea how to copy the twitter handle with the tweet |

Yep. I bet the Nets' GM is scouring LakersGround by the minute discerning exactly how desperate the team is to make the trade!  |

I think he’s just talking more of the cap aspect of it. Not sourced. |

He posted that a hour ago and no one has confirmed it I call pure BS on this 1. |

I could see Harris being flipped for Hield. Pelinka loves his former clients. |
I can see Curry + THT being flipped for Hield.

| Probably putting it out there if Nets want to ask for more to get rid of Kyrie. Lakers have options. |

| Not a fan of a trade that only puts one 3pt shooter in the starting lineup, unless it's Kyrie. |

Not convinced that the Kyrie deal needs to follow the Durant deal. There are likely no players coming or going in either deal that are going to make a differences. Kyrie and Harris are clearly two guys they want to get off of. Russ works moneywise. They likely don’t repurpose any assets they get from the Lakers in any other deal. They should be able to move out one there is a agreement, IMO.
