What are Lockes thoughts on DAngelo Russell in that podcast?

Lives off mid-range and that's a tough way to live. Usage rate has gone up and paint attempts and ft rate have gone down... basically not sure if he's good or not. Locke loves efficiency so DLo is likely not his first choice.

There is value to creating offense, I just worry he never creates good offense and that we'd be better off going another route. I'd be terrified to have him on a max deal, but I'd understand getting him.

Wow! Atlanta doin work... couple first for their cap space and Prince (who they had been shopping quite a bit based on rumors).

Is it Kyrie and KD? Is it Kyrie and Russell? Kyrie and Tobias? Kyrie and Jimmy?

Hmmmmmmmmmm… Celtics are prolly super bummed.
 
Nets just cleared capspace for 2 max free agents.

D'Angelo might be available... or Dinwiddie? We should attack.

If I had to guess Kyrie + KD...

I remember Jimmy wanted to team up with Kyrie... I'll guess Jimmy and Kyrie.

I can't see Kyrie and Russell working well, but Dinwiddie has trade value... will be curious to see how this shakes out. I think it's good for us either way.

Is it even possible to do that trade on draft night since Favors contract can't be guaranteed until July?

Yes. Favors' contract simply becomes guaranteed in the process.

I would try Jabari than trade for Love

I would too, but I don't think the FO sees it that way. Jabari is a really easy way to make some big improvements, which, again, I don't believe the FO sees it that way.
 
So apparently now we need to root for the Nets to land a big-time free agent to play next to Kyrie. It feels like an unrestricted D-Lo is our best chance to make a splash.

I hope the FO recognizes some of the opportunities sitting on the table. For instance, I think buying low on Jabari could very well be a better long-term move than going after DLo.

I mean it feels like a guarantee that a big-time free agent is going to Brooklyn with him. The Nets have opened two max slots. Plus I don't see a reason why Kyrie would decide to go there in the first place unless another star was going with him.

*React. The Nets can't keep both, but they can and should easily keep Dinwiddie now that they have that extra theoretical max slot... but that slot only exists if they renounce D-Lo.

I'm not sure what they do... renouncing D'Lo seems foolish unless they have a signature from someone... if they don't then they likely retain him rather than losing him for nothing and move Dinwiddie because he has a lot of trade value? I just can't imagine Kyrie and Russell being the plan... maybe he walks for nothing.

We might be able to negotiate a sign and trade where we use Jae and space for Russell and potentially get him at something slightly better than the max.

Does seem like there will be an opportunity here and that this is a significant domino.
 
KD and Kyrie to the Nets is a dream scenario. ****s over Boston and opens up a real chance in the WC. We better be able to capitalize.

Also, think about the pitch if KD heads east, the balance of power shifts substantially and you can suddenly start pitching a real chance at the finals.

Definitely. They hold the cards, though. You gotta wonder if they’re going to pull some serious tampering **** with D-Lo like getting him to sign for way-below market on a 1 + PO with the promise of maxing him the **** out next offseason.

They have some good young talent and a different vibe than the Knicks. He might have someone coming with him, but they needed to clear a little space anyway to sign one max guy... now they get a decent young wing and their hand may not be forced with Russell.

If they have Kyrie, Harris, LeVert, Prince, Allen... plus Dinwiddie and get a couple mid tier guys after renouncing Russell then that's solid.
