Nets more open to trading Kevin Durant following Irving departure?
What’s the buzz on Twitter?

The NBA is waiting on Toronto but Toronto may be waiting on Brooklyn. And, as always, it all comes back to the Knicks.

My feeling hasn’t changed on what happens with Durant, and any feasible #Celtics involvement. Wait until the summer. Extremely unlikely anything comes together over the next 24+ hours. – 11:35 AM

Cuando @Kyrie Irving pidió su salida de Nets, Brooklyn recibió más llamadas de otros equipos interesados en adquirir a Kevin Durant que al mismo Irving. El Efecto Durant en esta fecha límite es que equipos prefieran retener activos para adquirir a KD ahora o a fines de temporada. pic.twitter.com/XKRmqr3xq7 – 11:20 AM

Melo started almost as young as LeBron, but simply didn’t score at nearly the same rate as LeBron (which is wild, cuz Melo was a lauded bucket-getter and LeBron is more known as a passer)
KD was actually neck & neck with LeBron until injuries slowed him down pic.twitter.com/9rVsW55v7A – 11:06 AM

If Heat concludes that Brooklyn would never trade them Durant this summer for package built around three first-rounders and Herro, then a case could be made to dangle first-rounder to offload Lowry contract if quality starter/rotation players come to Miami (from Clips or whoever) – 10:54 AM

From @Ian Begley:
“Several teams said (trade) talks had been impacted by Kevin Durant because many teams are waiting to see if the All-Star will be available at the deadline. So teams are holding off on any big moves until they get clarity on Durant.” – 10:47 AM

Wing shooting would be a little light. But keep in mind, the top 8 would all be under contract next season.
Nets will have more first-rounders available come draft night to make further moves. – 10:40 AM

Mike and Magic, fairly or not, were perceived as the purer “winners,” but once Magic and Bird faded, Mike never faced an individual foe as truly great as Durant or Curry, much less both together.
LeBron: First among equals. – 10:06 AM

Last month, LeBron named KD, Kyrie, Embiid, Giannis, and Luka as the five players who had the best chance at one day breaking his scoring record.
Here’s what would need to happen for each of those guys to get there:

Last three days:
* Jalen Brunson outplays Harden to lead NY to a win over the Sixers.
* Kyrie traded West and KD pulls out of All-Star Game due to injury
* Brunson puts NY in his back in the clutch – again – to lead NY to win in Orlando.
Brunson should be named an All Star ASAP – 9:47 PM

38,388 is obviously the big one but his NBA all-time record streak being 11x longer than any other active one is just absurd. – 9:28 PM

The market for Siakam and Anunoby sounds highly competitive. This would still give the Nets a very well-rounded roster.
Multiple self-creators behind KD, tons of length, several spot-up shooters. And I think this is very realistic in terms of price.

“The guy has scored 91 points in the last two games.”
@Frank Isola & @Brian Scalabrine think Cam Thomas is earning minutes even when Kevin Durant and Spencer Dinwiddie are back on the court

More on this storyline
But if you’re Toronto, if Kevin Durant comes back to market in the summer, Toronto has a very compelling potential offer for him. And I’m wondering how much the Durant, and I say wondering because I don’t know, but I wonder how much Durant’s availability is affecting Toronto and how they’re doing business. And how Toronto is doing business is dramatically affecting the deadline right now. -via ESPN / February 8, 2023
One factor that had slowed trade talks as of late Tuesday night? Kevin Durant’s uncertain status with the Nets. Several teams said talks had been impacted by Durant because many teams are waiting to see if the All-Star will be available at the deadline. So teams are holding off on any big moves until they get clarity on Durant. -via SportsNet New York / February 8, 2023
