Favorite Player from a Team That’s Not the Lakers

Brooklyn/New Jersey Nets -

D'Angelo Russell. No surprise here, but he had huge growth from his first stint with the Lakers here, had a well deserved All-Star selection, really changed the culture of that team and led them to the Playoffs. You wonder if they regret letting this team break apart for KD/Kyrie now and as a Lakers fan, I hope they don't make this same mistake.

The first hint that Kevin Durant isn't happy after Nets' trade with Kyrie Irving

Kevin Durant wanted the Nets to trade him in the summer. It’s unclear what he wants now as Kyrie Irving was granted his own trade application on Sunday. But Durant and the Nets are having “tough talks” after the Irving trade, Adrian Wojnarowski reported Tuesday on ESPN’s “NBA Today,” the first hint that Durant may not be pleased that the Nets are selling Irving to the Mavericks. Wojnarowski…

Kyrie Irving Is Now Luka Doncic’s Problem

“The Dallas Mavs are brave souls“

For a while there, it looked like the Brooklyn Nets were finally doing what they should have done from the beginning of Kyrie’s time there by just focusing on basketball and winning on the court.

This latest Kyrie Iriving trade request is proof that no matter how well incentivized a person might be, they will fall back in to old patterns where they create distractions over and over again. 

So you’re trying to tell me, that the one time Kyrie Irving has to be the one to carry the load because KD is out injured, the guy winds up requesting a trade? Wasn’t that the exact same expectation Kyrie had of James Harden back when Kyrie was protesting the “medicine”?

Fortunately for Kyrie, there is still a team that believes the Kyrie hype.

The Dallas Mavs are brave souls.

The idea that they think Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic is a duo that can work out without any headaches?

So what happens in the 4th quarter, who takes the last shot?

But before you can even pattern that, how do you figure out a defensive scheme that prevents opposition from exploiting Kyrie or Luka?

The good news for the Mavs is that this year’s Western Conference is not stacked.

It’s all about whose players are healthy, and who they get matched up with in the playoffs. 

If these Mavs are matched up with the Denver Nuggets, The Clippers or the Grizzlies, you know teams that can attack opposing guards off -the-dribble with a more than adequatley talented player like Jamal Murray or Ja Morant, then that’s a problem for the Mavs.

On the other hand, do you really believe any team in the West can win a shooutout against a team that includes both Luka and Kyrie?

Time will tell.

And in closing. I want to adresss the homeboy, Kevin Durant.

Throughout this iteration of the Brooklyn Nets, the only guy I’ve consitently felt bad for, was Kevin Durant.

He was the only guy that even seemed halfway committed to the collective mission Brooklyn, and to be honest, he deserves better than what he has been surrounded with and hampered by.

His time with the Brooklyn Nets proves that the social and relationship/friendship dynamics between NBA players, are of far less importance than we may have been led to believe, and please believe The Brooklyn Nets from 2019-2023, will serve as a lesson to all future General Managers in the NBA.
