West is such a clusterfuck

A lot of teams think they can compete given how it seems like everyone is in contention

Wonder if other West teams try to cram in big moves

That is major but I feel like the Nets made out like bandits after dealing their two best players. I know it may not seem like it now but they acquired a lot of picks and will be able to reload faster. As for the Suns I like this deal better for them than the Kyrie to Dallas deal but giving away their best defender in Bridges as well as 4 first round picks means they better win it all now.

Suns strike in the middle of the night

Nets won the trade big time
Durant old and injury prone now

Trade deadline went crazy this year.

Agreeed. Nets are primed for a great team in near future with these trades.

Nets rebuilding the team using the young assets, also it's about time for the young players to shine.

Suns clearly won this trade. Took them from West has-bens to favorites if Booker comes back healthy.

They gave away tons of picks but draft picks not as valuable in the NBA as they are in, say, the NFL. Good teams can continue to build in free agency much easier instead of draft

KD the poster child for joining teams to create a “Big 3”.

I really like what the Nets got in this trade. But at the same time I also think it gives the Suns a real chance to make a title run now so could eventually be one of those "good trade for both sides" kind of things.

You know what’s fucking low key hilarious to me ? KD Irving & Harden played 16 total games together = epic fail.

Yep gonna ride the coattails once again

Him & Lebron

Durant lucky if he plays 55 games each of next 3 years

Unbelievable deadline trades this year.

JJ does Durant win a ring in the next 3 years?

 

[stormtrooper8]

Nets would never have done this trade if Durant didn’t want out. Suns won this by a mile

They now have like six small forwards and a bunch of useless draft picks

That said I’m definitely more of a fan of them now without the diva drama
