Show notes

With the news that Kyrie Irving might be wanting to stay as a Brooklyn Net for the foreseeable future, the Locked on Nets guys had to look at the situation and what it means right now.

If Kyrie Irving is willing to stay in Brooklyn even without Durant has that relationship fizzled? Or is this just kind of what happens with NBA players?

How the market for Kevin Durant was ruined by the Rudy Gobert trade Jul 12, 2022

Show notes

With a day off in summer league action, the Locked on Nets guys dive back into the prospect of a Kevin Durant trade this summer and discuss whether this will go all the way into the season. One major thing seemingly crushing the market for Durant right now is the blockbuster deal between Minnesota and Utah a couple of weeks ago that sent Rudy Gobert to the Timberwolves for a haul of draft picks and some players as well. How has this trade skewed the market for Kevin Durant and are there any teams out there willing or able to even meet the price that Gobert seemed to get on the market? It would seem this has caused some issues in the Nets’ ability to trade Kevin Durant at all.

NBA rumors - Scottie Barnes untouchable in Kevin Durant trade to the Raptors? Jul 08, 2022

Show notes

Sean Woodley from Locked On Raptors joins Adam Armbrecht to discuss the state of the each franchise and if Toronto is truly desperate for Kevin Durant's services. Blockbuster trades are never easy to pull off, and in the case of Toronto they have the recent track record to comfortably refute any package that feels to steep.

They guys discuss how winning buys you time, why the Raptors have trust in their roster building, and if the Nets should feel desperate to make a move any time soon. It is a great look at an outside perspective as the offseason moves along for two franchises at seemingly different points, but also joined at the hip.

No solid trade market for Kevin Durant? Nets could wait this out until season Jul 05, 2022

Show notes

Would the Nets be willing to let the potential Kevin Durant trade drag on until closer to the season? Recent reports seem to suggest that could be the case with the market for the superstar possibly not materializing in a meaningful way right now. It would be an interesting gambit from Brooklyn, especially considering they have him under contract for the next four years. There would appear to be no rush on that front and if there isn’t a suitable deal then why should the Nets just make something happen for the sake of it? The Locked on Nets break down the situation and the moving parts around a potential trade.
