I think KDs foot being on the line will be one of the most important moments in modern nba history. If the Nets had won, they had a great shot at the title. With a title, there's no way the team would've melted down like this, and the players wouldn't have been traded as early. That moment has led to a shake up of the nba's top teams (76ers, suns, mavs) and has changed the trajectory of at least 5 teams. Would love to see a video on how this disaster turned out in a few years.

[@John6-40]

I barely pay any mind to the NBA anymore. The league is now a trash product. No defense, all rules changes favored offense for 20 straight years, player empowerment has led to toxic personalities putting teams and fan bases through the wringer. Players more focused on politics and their own legacies than winning. Players winding up on 4 teams in 4 years. It's hard to keep track. They need to fix the league. It's broken.

I can understand the Nets here. They have a diverse pool of talent to give time and see who sticks out, and those picks will probably allow them to round out their team into a very consistent, deep roster. They're prioritizing team basketball and want to grow their own stars with Claxton and Thomas with a bunch of great two way players. No superstar drama, no untenable cap situations. I honestly like their strategy.

[@legendarycollection7184]

Somehow there are superstar change to the worst because he win chip and sometimes they get better when win chip Durant kyrie to arrogant to think they can shut the media down just with they skill, bisede championship team is come from teamwork and sacriface. Thats why we saw guy like MJ, the team know how best to work with MJ and other guy should sacriface his talent for good resume like steph did for durant. Well just my opinion. I more like to build your own star in trustfull organization like nowday GSW, Milwaukee, Mav for example. But its not mean player like durant kyrie lebron who need to jump team to chase chip is bad, just sometimes it won't work because there is no chemistry for both in start play.

[@MrBrightside390]

As a suns fan from phoenix I'm hyped but also cautious. We gave away a lot of depth with Makal Bridges and Cam Johnson. Both of them were young players that developed their whole careers within the suns ecosystem. In addition to our first round draft picks we've pretty much traded our future away. Kevin Durant is one of the greatest but he's very injury prone especially recently. I think there's a bigger chance that this could blow up in the suns face than people are willing to admit right now

[@DuranceBell]

Yeah, the odds of both KD and CP3 going through an entire playoff run without getting injured is pretty much 0. That's assuming they stay healthy enough during the rest of the regular season to even make the post season. They're only 2.5 games ahead of the 12th place team. That's not much of a buffer.

[@ConstantineH]

username checks out. jokes aside, i agree with you, although i think with a healthy KD this could very well work in the suns favour and bring a championship.

[@Joe_Ma99]

Agree, great move but it’s riskier than most ppl are saying.

[@jaketerpening3284]

TBH, KD isn't that injury prone. He doesn't rely too much on attacking the basket, and the times he goes down are hard hits. He's not like AD who pulls a muscle while helping up his teammates. I think it's more of a bad luck thing than him being injury prone.

ITs different. You guys have ALL TIME Player generational talent Steph, with Klay Thompson who is also arguably a top 50 player all time, and Draymond one of the best all time defenders, whom already won a few chips before Durant. then added Durant on top of all that. The Suns (i am not defending I actually dont like them even before Durant) Have a past his prime and gets tired if her exerts to much in a game Chris Paul, Devin Booker who is a great offensive talent but chokes(Klay is better than him IMO), and Ayton who sometimes shows up for big games but is often rather quite(also got out rebounded by Luka in that series) They need Durant to win (I still think they wont) Golden state did not.

Looking back on this video, the true takeaway for me is that the Gobert trade was too prematurely paraded as the worst trade in NBA history. As long as you have a plan with what you’re doing (like the wolves seemingly did) and aren’t just trying to go out and get great players (like the Suns and Mavericks did), it should work out. A good video idea would be about how the NBA or sports fans as a whole are too impatient. I know that last year as a Wolves fan I was.

[@moresuccess2503]

[@notperfect101]

I don‘t agree, I think the Nets got great value. You said it yourself, KD era in Brooklyn was terrible in terms of results. It just wasn‘t working. And he wanted to leave. Also, as great as he is, he‘s quite injury prone and it won‘t get better with age. After the trades, the Nets have a solid team with some excellent players. Great defensive players, very good shooters. If they can get organized offensively, get everyone involved and ball and bodies moving, they can make a run without a clear number one option. Also they‘re a young team, they will still get better. And they got a shitload of picks. I think they can look optimistically into the future after the big three disaster. And the suns: I like them but I don‘t think they got a great deal. The starting lineup is very impressive now, but they‘re lacking in depth. Also who‘s gonna play defense now? They gave up some of their best young defensive players. If they don‘t get a title this or next year, they will regret this.The window is short.

@@webgem14 Agree'd, I think we will hold #1 seed by the end of the season. With that said theres a lot of time for KD and Kyrie to get accustomed to their teams. They can either be great fits or bad fits. Should be a good playoffs for the Nuggets either way if they all stay healthy.

I don't think the nets are quite so bad off as it looks at first blush. They've got a solid group of quality role players and starters, just need to find or develop a centerpiece. They are so flush in 3&D guys that they are likely going to need to move some, and everyone likes some good 3&D.

@@EJxSB that got Bridges Johnson DFS and Dinwiddie. That's 3 quality 2 way players and a decent PG. This isn't the same weak defensive team anymore. Bridges was runner up in DPOY voting and DFS is an excellent defender. Add that to Claxton and Simmons if he fixes his health and you have a ton of defenders. They lack a star to contend but they are a very solid team with good depth. They were a thin team with a few stars and now they are a deep team with no stars.

The Nets are honestly stacked with budding talent now and ended up with 5 first round picks and 4 second round picks (they traded Crowder after the Durant trade and got 2 more second rounders) A bunch of young talent shooting 40% from 3 and a pretty stacked looking defensive look now.

And on top of that, the draft picks. Those who will be selected, are starting to live their dream now, maybe they aren't even thinking about the NBA. Many people around NBA players think about everything, when a trade occurs. But there's a lot to think about. An NBA player is an enterprise.

To put you into perspective, Midseason deadlines trades are statistically more downgraded values than those Offseason deadlines, if you look at the history of trades. Offseason trades got more inflated due to availability of free agents, no worry of giving up players with more alloted roster spots open and Cap space market is easier to conduct moves than of Midseason trade deadlines, with less open spots, you need boughout or either you can't suddenly waive guaranteed players, you have to match salary. Thats what makes this 2023 Mid season deadlines so Unique than ever before, i never seen at this extent of players to be traded.

[@marius3212]

I actually think, that teams are starting to see that forcing thin rosters around forced together suprstars doesnt really work. look at the nets or the Lakers. I think teams are opting back to the more traditional, current celtics or Bucks approach of slowly building a solid team and having your guys rise up to the challenge. I like the look of the new Nets, or cavs or jazz for example, they could become extremely fun. You cant really talk about Brooklyns „downfall“, shit didnt work, so they are trying another approach instead of digging deeper into the dirt lakers style.

I agree with the overall point of, if you got a player like KD on a contract for a while you simply don't trade him, but if it's true teams were offering 4 1st round picks for Mikal Bridges they basically got 8 1st round picks, 5 2nd round picks, and Cam Johnson for KD who didn't want to be there anymore. That is quite the haul

[@user-zd9vy4nw1e]

KD and Kyrie are no good for the Nets, period. They have being tested and for some reason didnt make it. No reason for the organization holding players that not winning no matter how good they are. Especially if there are first round draft picks available instead. Kd has glass feet, health issues with injuries etc. Its a high risk contract to sign for someone who may play like 10 games and lose the rest season. Kyrie has non basketball issues that effecting serioucly his game and even his career. As players both are unicors, as Nets team members they where less of good. And no way they are the leaders people may think they are. Kawhi, Giannis take a chip being the star of their teams with worst rosters that Mj's bulls. Kyrie got his chip with Lebron, not even one mvp, not even one all nba first team 30yo, no skills to handle situations in ways that not affeft his present on a team. Kd hass glass feet, he may be an all time great as a unit, but he got his chips with one of the greatest player ever on one of the greatest teams ever. And hes not showing he could do it again without steph or someone else as good

Do you think with this happening, regardless of if they win or not, KD's legacy will be more tied into always being in a superteam? The okc one shouldn't count but after a few years, people might forget harden wasn't exactly the player he is now and a few years ago

[@spaceb6y]

Yes, even excluding Harden. How the nets history went down with 3 superstars has to be the worst way a team has fumbled. Imagine if Shaq and Kobe never won a chip together after playing for 3+ years

[@jgray2718]

I think you're right that being on superteams won't help his legacy, even if he's the most talented player on them. I feel like he might play in Phoenix for 2 years, realize CP is too old, they traded their best young players _(Cam Johnson and Mikal Bridges)_ and all their draft picks to get him, and demand another trade _(possibly to my Lakers to play with his buddy Lebron, which I think would be a disaster)._ I think the Nets end up more successful with no KD and teams realize that you can't just throw a bunch of talent together and figure it out on the fly. You really do need supporting players and a plan for how you're going to use everyone, not just a pile of talent.
