    Duren would be awesome, at least for this season, try to keep Lebron and throw everything at it, for the next season we get the cap hit from Reaves salary so we'll probably have to move some players.

    out of my curiosity, would you guys have done a Reaves for Duren trade? that probably would've been the easier way to get Duren.

    Very tempting from a roster balance perspective

    So the Nets are just going to be a pain in the a**. I really hope we sign Mitchell Robinson.

    It’s so funny OKC just refuses to trade with us.

    LeBrons not going anywhere. Luka Reaves and Lebron were actually playing great basketball together before Luka got hurt and Lebron bought in.

    I get what you’re saying about the way the team looked at the beginning of the season. But if we want to win a championship we’re gonna need Lebron on those 4th quarter plays.

    I hope you're right. We need to throw the kitchen sink at it next year.

    If we can keep Bron, upgrade the center position, get a 3&D wing and resign the rest (I'm probably okay with sacrificing Kennard if we have to), we are in business

    after next year, we get the cap hit from Austin's contract and Bron probably retires. That is going to make it much harder.

    never got to see them in the playoffs. I think that was last season now you move on to next season and after. Lebron situation is distracting.

    i think it's funny that underperformance in the playoffs is often cited as the reason to fire reaves directly into the sun, but we would want to trade him for a guy who got benched in the playoffs and will make 20% more. i say this as someone who advocates trading for duren, but man, that grass over there sure is green.
