Okay ‘frogs! Who do you wanna see the Sixers take in the draft? Was expecting to trade any combination of Danny, 'Tisse, #23 for either Eric Gordon or Josh Hart
Can't complain about Melton - 24 years old, versatile on a cheap contract
Curious to see what moves are coming next.....
Yeah. Ty Ty Washington or Nembhard at point guard coulda been a nice pick. But the trade for Melton might actually be better. He’s already a little seasoned. And he’s improving every year. Hate to see Danny Green go but after yet another knee injury his knees might be shot.

Hate to see Danny Green go but after yet another knee injury his knees might be shot. Everything I've been reading/hearing about today - I've been salivating (can't stop watching his Youtube clips)
Apparently he's a two way player and was the Grizz's 6th man last year. Very versatile and can play the 1 and the 2 -
But what I love from what I'm reading/hearing - he has a ton of dog in him and is an elite defender - very tough player - and he's still young on a cheap contract. Love the trade. Can't wait to see what Morey has in store next....

Finally got time to watch Skip and Shannon's response to KD
Highly entertaining. I am with Skip and Shannon.

Dame posted this to his Instagram Saturday
Would love to see it
But isn't this kind of.......tampering? I would be furious and ticked off if I was in Nets management/ownership. One of the top players in our league, putting arguably the best player in the game, who plays on our team in an opposing team's jersey and placing it on social media? If Steph Curry did this to Joel Embiid our fans would be going nuts right now.
Wonder how his teammates feel who have his back on the court - many of whom would likely gone in a trade involving multiple teams
It's kind of like being married and being overly blunt with your wife you're not happy and looking for a new wife to move in
If you want to play with KD - request out behind closed doors ask to be traded to / go to Brooklyn - don't recruit him here uprooting our lives in the process

KD's legacy is he's an empty angry shell with ghost accounts.

Per NBA Insider Marc Stein - '“Numerous rival teams, meanwhile, say with even more conviction now than they did last week when I first it reported on Wednesday - that they expect P.J. Tucker to land in Philadelphia on a three-year, $30 million deal in free agency.”Per Sixers Insider Harrison Grimm - 'The Sixers need to shed $11 million+ to gain access to the full MLE. If Harden opts in, which all signs point to, you’re looking at a Thybulle/Korkmaz/Milton trade or Tobias Harris being moved.'

Per Legion Hoops via NBA Insider Marc Stein - 'REPORT: The Rockets and John Wall are expected to negotiate a buyout, if successful the Clippers, Lakers and Heat will express interest.'I'll take him - he's friends with Jo-Jo
Fire!
Get it!

'ESPN Sources: Outside of the Lakers, there are currently no known teams planning pursuit of sign-and-trades for Nets G Kyrie Irving. No sign-and-trades can be formally discussed until after 6 PM on Thursday. Brooklyn isn't believed to have interest in available Lakers packages.'

Per Windy -
Nets prepared to lose both Kyrie and KD
Just putting this out there.
KD owns our soccer team The Philadelphia Union. Him and Jo-Jo also have a mutual respect for each other and KD thought Jo-Jo should have been the MVP
Just sayin' don't be shocked if once October rolls around KD is in a Sixers uniform because he requested to be here -

Phenom Dejounte Murray - love this guy - could be on his way to Atlanta
Apparently John Collins is getting moved too - but rumor has it he's not part of this deal
Legion Hoops per NBA Insider Zach Klein -
'BREAKING: “Multiple sources throughout the NBA” believe the Atlanta Hawks are on the verge of trading for the Spurs’ Dejounte Murray.
The trade package reportedly includes Danilo Gallinari and multiple 1st-round picks, reports @zachkleinwsb.'

This era of the NBA will prove to be Steph's Warriors, LeBron's senior tour, Toronto's Kawhi swindle, & stars load managing their way out of play & demanding out before the ink is dry.
I saw someone tweet a Zion clip going past KD. That's where we are. Let's see a guy do that in 76+ games a season first.
Kyrie on the Lakers? He'll demand to be a Knick by Thanksgiving. KD to Portland? He'll demand a larger market by Valentines.

Disappointed in Kyrie Per Shams - 'Kyrie Irving: “Normal people keep the world going, but those who dare to be different lead us into tomorrow. I’ve made my decision to opt in. See you in the fall. A11even.”Isn't that what the normal person would have done? Opted in for $36.5 million as opposed to signing for $6 million with the Lakers I wanted to see the NBA turned down upside on it's head and absolute chaos over the next few days with KD and Kyrie on the market

Shams Bomb! 'Boston Celtics assistant Will Hardy is closing in on deal to become the next head coach of the Utah Jazz, sources tell @theathletic @stadium.'Good news for me as it means Sam Cassell is staying with us (for now)
