kyrie will probably be traded as well, possibly Ben Simmons as well

this has been an unmitigated disaster for Brooklyn. They had an up and coming, feisty, go-to-battle together, talented group of young players and promising coach who had taken a team that was a bit of a laughing stock and made them a decent team and one that a lot of neutrals were starting to praise, and threw that situation away, through binning the coach to suit KD and Kyrie, trading away or letting walk in free agency many of the young players who had turned them around, signed players because they were mates with KD and Kyrie (DeAndre Jordan), and traded control of the next several years draft picks, and all they have to show for it is a single playoff series win.
Guess the question with Kyrie would be is he worth the baggage that comes along with him? For me the answer is no, great player though he is, the implosion is never far away. Even Durant to some degree is a risk as he tends to decide he wants to be elsewhere if he doesn't like the current set up. Utah seem to be going for the rebuild, I wonder if there's something that could happen there with Donovan Mitchell going to Brooklyn? I wouldn't be too shocked if the Nets even said no trade, the title window is open now and their best shot at it is with KD in the team. He only signed a new contract last year!
