The article added to two beliefs i already held. Zach Lowe is a better nba analyst that 99.9 % of all nba pundits. And the Nets should not trade Durant.
Here's the issue with flex. He absolutely has a source that gives solid scoops about players. That's why he was a month earlier on the KD stuff, a week earlier on the CP3 stuff, and has better info on player injury stuff for the Suns.
I’m pretty sure both things are true. It seems like there was a legitimate offer that the Nets declined. My guess is it probably happened before the Brogdon deal was completed and the C’s sent out a FRP they could have used in a Durant trade. Once it became clear that was the best offer the Nets got, they leaked it to drum up better bids. But, I think at this point the Celtics roster is pretty much set and the time for this deal has probably passed.
The only semi-plausible motivation the C's brass might have had is Brown leaving in two years. We now know this is false, with multiple insiders stating that he loves it in Boston and wants to stay. Lowe's article admits that the team doesn't think he'll leave. Things change quick in the NBA, but all evidence points to Brown resigning for the max in free agency.
Flex said this was actually at least a few months old and leaked to entice Suns to offer up Mikal Bridges. According to Flex, Nets really want Mikal and will take less picks if he's the centerpiece.
Does anyone remember the summer of the Dwightmare? This feels similar to that. The entire summer was so boring because all the teams were waiting for that shoe to drop and it never did until mid-August.
Nets should’ve taken the deal the KD era is over imo and they won’t accomplish anything. I think the bridges are burned and Kyrie will be salty about not getting the extension.

He’s going to stay. He’s literally on the best team he can potentially be on right now.
Flex didn’t say it not listening to this fraud.
Suns fans rubbing one out to Flex right now

Smh
I still think this trade leak was the Nets trying to drive KD's price higher, and not a legitimate trade that the Celtics are considering.
If it was, shouldn't the FO from the Celtics denied with strong a statement?
I think it was KD’s side (they’ve been working with the Nets FO) to get the market going again.

I’m not sure that the Celtics want KD. He will want out after one year
It also could be the Nets trying to ruin the relationship the Celtics have with Jaylen Brown, making them feel more willing to deal him

Fucc u get it done
I don't have insider, can anyone summarize any new facts?

He's not going anywhere how many more stories are going to be made and elaborated on?
This FO/Ownership is braindead man. Throwing away an all-time talent because of vibes lmao.
