Brooklyn is a decent team, but is Kryie really a magnet for some free agent star? That would really surprise me.

Knicks have to lose out on all these rumors about being one of the finalists about players teaming up.

Better to send KD and Kawhi to the Nets or at least the Clips.

Not sure anymore how to handle things otherwise.

Some reports that Kyrie going to the Nets could somehow cause a problem for KD wanting to join (Begley?) because of claims he doesn't want to appear to follow anyone, and if Kyrie is a Net (as we are hearing more of a reality and D'Angelo a Laker) that also would pose problems for the latest rumors of Kawhi and KD together somewhere.

KD and Kyrie to the Clips. It is written in erasable marker.

Done deal.

6:00 tomorrow.

That's great for Celtics. Much better for them than prima-donna KI. Congrats Bank!

Max (30%): $32.742m  (e.g., Kawhi, Kemba, Kyrie)

Non-tax MLE: $9.258m
Tax payers' MLE: $5.718m
Room Exception: $4.767m  (this is the only exception teams under the cap, such as the Lakers and Knicks, will have)

Won't come cheap, Charlotte is going to pursue him aggressively.

So BOS loses both of its PG's and recovers nicely with Kemba.  Sure he costs a lot, is shrimpy, and more a Lowry-type grinder than a super-talent.
But he's a hard-worker, focused, seems solid and steady.  With Kyrie and (likely) Horford gone, Celts need Kemba's leadership.


Nets.  Pay Kyrie $35M per or Tangelo $27M?  Kyrie a genuine PG, and an offensive wizard.  Can he get along with the young guys?  Can he actually lead?  Good thing for BKY is Kyrie has already jerked his way out of his last two stops.  So a failure in BKY, will really hurt Kyrie's rep and legacy.

Tangelo is young, but sloppy, and still more of a combo G than PG.
So I think it's the right move for the Nets.  But I'm glad the risks that come with Kyrie -- health and attitude -- are being borne by another team and not the Knix.

Probably Rozier to CHA, so it's a question where tangelo winds up.  Mini interested.  Lakes too.  PHX? 

Apparently DRose to DTroit.

If this all goes down, they'll be fewer teams looking for a PG.
I'm still interested in Brogdon, Rubio, Pa Bev.
Doesn't it seem like Rubio should have been a Knick PG already?

My preference is for Raptors to retain Kawhi.  But I wouldn't mind KD/Kawhi teaming up somewhere.

(Yeah... believe it.  NY?  Crazy biz.  Never know.)
