[@michaelman9358]

This is a huge Win for Sean Marks and Joe Tsai. For one, the timing of the announcement heavily skewed in Net's favor. If KD made the decision to announce then he just trapped himself in a losing hole. I would totally say that Joe Tsai was the one who wanted to trade KD, because he forsee the power KD is developing. He could have called KD to his office, discussed the teams direction and reach a mutual decision to trade him. The detail falls in "Why Now"? Well, it all started with the O'neele trade. I'd be surprised that when Jazz approached the Nets for the salary dump, Sean Mark and Joe Tsai did not bother to ask couple questions before agreeing to the deal. But why would the Jazz reveal info to the Nets you wonder? Oh wait, who did the Jazz HC Will Hardy worked for in San Antonio? That's right, Sean Marks, the GM of the Brooklyn Nets. When teams make salary dump moves ahead of a major deal, they tend to work with someone they have a personal relationship with. This gives us the answer to why the Nets is willing to take O'neele, who basically contribute to nothing they needed, for a draft pick. The pick was a trade for INFORMATION. Now armed with this news, Sean Marks and Joe Tsai realizes when the Jazz news broke, the trade value for KD will skyrocket given what Jazz got in return for Golbert. So they induced KD to agree to a trade (rmb KD has a no-trade clause), and releases that news just One day before the Jazz trade. It matters because if they release AFTER the Jazz trade, the Nets would be seen as Asset Chasing and desperate, like buying a stock when it jumps instead of buying a dip. So the Nets released the KD request and the O'neale trade within minutes. The Nets front office played this hand just so perfectly. Not only they have a benchmark for minimum asset in return, they also played KD and Kyrie against eachother in the public eyes. Now KD might not get moved this year, but it reduces his influence power significantly. Because not being able to be traded tells you the value of player has dwindled, it will keep KD grounded for the time to come. If they move him that'll be also win for the Nets, because of the significant asset they asking for. They will almost certainly move Kyrie, for the Nets Kyrie is a write-off already. Edit: With all the "What KD said to Joe and Sean" news, one has to rmb. Information are divulged to the media in a way that serves the source the most. Nets certainly want maximum denialbility on it, but one thing gave it away. You don't "Work with" KD 's business manager to find a trade if the Nets didn't want to move him, after giving him a 4 year deal. The fact is that the Nets cannot trade KD without his consent, so this is a mutual decision, if not a Nets decision.

Last week he suggested that the Warriors trade Wiggins and Wiseman and Kuminga for Bradley Beal, who shot .300 from three last year and was a -6 on defense and would be a third string bench player for the Warriors. Stupid people always look stupid.

Broussards take doesn't even make sense. There's Lebron and then there's everyone else. It's disingenuous to expect KD to do the coach and GMs job. As good as Curry is, he had Kerr and Myers. As good as Kawhi is, he had Pop and then Nurse and a great GM in Toronto. As good as Giannis is, he has Bud and a great organization who made EXCELLENT moves to put talent around him. It's not all on any one player. If KD had the right parts around him, he would've been just as successful and no one would question his leadership. We really gotta stop overstating this leadership stuff. It takes more than the best player on the team.

If Nick’s guess for KDs reasoning is on point, I have lost all faith in KDs career.. It’ll be the biggest what if story that’s not die to injury in NBA history

[@rabidlenny7221]

6:31 this aged very well. I thought this was a bold statement from Wildes, thought he was throwing it out as an alternative theory, albeit an unlikely one. Right now the odds are that he was correct.

[@Jkeebz]

From not needing a coach to being a GM to now demanding a trade. Lol.

[@future_teknokrat7585]

The Nets paid KD for an entire year to sit and heal, now he wants to be traded 😭😭

[@BoskoShabazz]

I’m surprised nobody has brought that up lmao

[@BigTweez9]

Brew is right

[@willliam1420]

Most people are now convinced it's not worth taking KD if he's dragging Kyrie along

[@Jhyphi]

KD is a bus rider. 100%.

[@darnellbrown2905]

KD is probably one of the most skilled players in NBA history. Unfortunately that doesn’t translate to him being able to lead a franchise to a championship..

[@dsauls1940]

Love chris take on Simmons and kd

[@dodiereynolds386]

KD is now an official Front Runner and Ring Chaser .

[@Mezukage27]

KD didn't want to waste 3 more years waiting for Kyrie and Bench Simmons to finally stop being divas

[@aminuabdullahi5922]

I thought I was the only one that didn’t think he’ll leave at the end of the day

[@KDRusha]

Bob Myers can get all the jokes off he wants long as he pays me 10s of millions of dollars lmfao

[@xcwilliams7980]

I'm not sure KD is upset that Kyrie felt disrespected, I think the thought of an organization saying "we'll let Kyrie go for nothing" proves that they're not all in on contending for a title. Dude is in championship or bust mode, and the Nets organization seems more worried about being tough or whatever.
