so when you "hear" stuff, it is from random twitter users? |

I should have been more precious and tell you guys to take it with a grain of salt, their is a lot of chatter about the Nets and Lakers possibly trying to get into trade talks which is why I posted this or else I wouldn’t have. |

if they want to team up, it is either Nets take RW or Lakers take Kyrie or Simmons. either way, there will be a lot of draft picks involved which neither team has much at the moment. KD and LBJ alone is not good enough to win a championship. |

I have no idea if it is true but I could see both of them accepting mortality and pulling out all the stops for two more titles. That would greatly affect both of their legacies. That being said, I don’t see it ever happening.

I think the idea is to team up together in Brooklyn not L.A. it will be LeBron going to BRK for Simmons and picks |

I agree. I think they may both by tired of playing with unreliable players (players made of glass or not having the right mindset). |

| Durant and LeBron will be a unstoppable duo, if this rumor is true it means that both realize that teaming up together can help them while they are still great players, Brooklyn will definitely be a favorite next year to win it all if LeBron goes their. |

Didn’t the Sixers send picks to BRK with the Harden trade? |

those are pretty complicated as it involves the OKC options. i don't know if Lebron wants anything to do with Kyrie again, so i don't see how this can happen. |

The idea of the Nets trading Durant seems very unlikely to me, this is why my assumption is that LeBron would team up with Durant in Brooklyn, would love it to see KD in Purple and Gold but it’s fantasy. |

Defense wins championship and Lebron and KD are at an age where they are no longer dominating defensively. Sure they would have no problem scoring but they would need a good defensive supporting cast.
As evident with the Lakers this season, offense wasn't an issue. Lebron could still score on 3 defenders. The problem is stopping teams from scoring so that Lebron's scoring would be more meaningful. KD doesn't improve the team defense. Bring back the dawgs like KCP and Caruso. |

They got some defensive guys in Claxton and Brown. |

You can add Minnesota to the list of forward thinking, modern NBA organization.
They are finally on the correct path. Meanwhile, Jeanie is still fixated on the 90s and Doc. |

Not so fast IG.
In your proposed scenario, I would need to see more availability from KD and LeGrandpa before I can confidently say they would get through a playoff run. |

Lore and ARod now own 40% and they can purchase another 40% next year. Taylor reminds me of the Buss family, how the NBA used to be run. I would expect an e-commerce mogul to embrace modern technology and practices when running the organization. I’m going out on a limb and saying that there won’t be any Kurt Rambis or Magic Johnson types advising ownership.
