Your hate for LBJ/anything Lakers is just pathetic dude lol
Lakers offered WB/2027 and 2029 first rounders.
Has more to do w/ the Nets owner being spiteful and not wanting to send Kyrie to his preferred destination being LA.
if the Nets goal is to compete now, Dallas' offer is better. most GM's don't last long enough in the NBA for 2027 and 2029 picks to materialize btw

I heard conflicting things
I think the lakers offered both 1sts
One thing I heard was the Nets wanted their young guys (Reaves & Christie) in addition to Westbrook, both 1sts, and multiple pick swaps.
Other thing I heard was Tsai was never going to deal Kyrie to LA bc it was his preferred destination
we know that they were unwilling to do this for Hield or Turner. I'm not sure what else LeBron means by "maybe it's me"

Lmfao :rofl:
Regarding the trade though, Tsai had no intention of trading Kyrie to LA. He also rejected the Suns offer of CP3, Jae Crowder and unspecified picks, per bleacher report. Cuban made a very bad decision with this one IMO.
CP3 is washed and Crowder is just a guy at this point. I think Dallas' offer was genuinely better for the Nets.
