Who definitely shouldn’t put a finger in their mouth is Draymond Green. The Warriors forward has learned that Nets owner Joe Tsai has personally banned management from trading Kyrie Irving to the Lakers. LeBron’s friend was outraged.
“I was informed that they refused to trade Kyrie to the Lakers. I call it the “petty billionaire”. Joe Tsai seems to be saying that he doesn’t care if they have the best offer or not, he can be petty. Few people can compare to petty billionaires,” Greene said.
To exchange three players from the top 20 in terms of the amount of money earned at once? Easily!
Recall the salaries of the exchanged stars:
- Russell Westbrook $47 million
- Kevin Durant $44.1 million
- Kyrie Irving $37 million
So far, there is still a news lull across the ocean and club offices are just waking up. It’s time to recall that Durant and Booker played together for the US team and took the Tokyo gold. Insiders note that there is a “normal relationship” between the players.

Toronto Can Trade Oji Anunobi!
At least such conversations are underway. The player has a salary of $17.3 million this year. And there are two more years with an option on the latter: $18.6 million and $19.9 million.
American insiders unearthed another fun fact.
Former Phoenix Suns player Cam Johnson found out about the move to Brooklyn from social media. Moreover, his younger brother read the information on social networks and passed it on to the basketball player. Pam Pam.
Just a curious fact.
While the offices of Phoenix and Brooklyn were preparing the most powerful trade of Durant, their teams played a regular season game yesterday. The Suns won 116:112. And who was the main star? That’s right – DeAndre Ayton! His 35 points + 15 rebounds look powerful. But the center remains in the team. But how many shots will he get when Durant arrives?
Kyrie Irving on Durant’s move to Phoenix!
“I’m just glad he got out of there,” the newly minted defender of Dallas answered shortly.
You immediately think after this, what was going on in the Brooklyn locker room when Harden, Irving and Durant were there at the same time?
Jay Crowder, traded from Phoenix to Brooklyn, is likely to be part of a new deal. The New York team is actively looking for options. They say that Milwaukee really wants a defensive specialist to join their squad.
Just remembered Ben Simmons and here is his comment, from which tears well up.
“Back surgery is a serious thing, it takes time. It affects everything in the body. It’s important to remember this. I said from the very beginning – there will be ups and downs. It’s hard for me to be the player I was a few years ago. It will take time before I get back to that level,” Simmons said.
Simmons still has time. For the current season, he will receive $ 35 million, for the next $ 38, and then another $ 40.
Wow! The Clippers are ready to fight for Westbrook if his contract is bought out by Utah. Did the Californians not see how terrible the defender was in another team from Los Angeles?
Yesterday’s behavior of Davis surprised (and even disappointed). LeBron James’ partner and friend didn’t even get up to congratulate the King on his NBA scoring record.

Maybe he is being prepared for an exchange? There is still time for this.
Recall that exchanges in the NBA are possible until 23:00 Moscow time.
As for the Lakers, it is unlikely that the team’s game will change dramatically with the departure of Westbrook. Still, the problems were not only in him. LeBron is doing his best, but if there is no threat from the ever-injured Anthony Davis, then even making the playoffs will remain an impossible task.
Reminds me of Ben Simmons.
When the Durant-Irving-Harden trio was going to the Nets, the questions were just how healthy Durant would be and could these guys share the ball? It turned out that it never came to real basketball. Now it’s a little exciting for Devin Booker and Chris Paul. On paper, this exchange looks very impressive. But how will it really be?
Main events by noon Moscow time:
- Durant traded to “Phoenix”
- Westbrook went to Utah
- D’Angelo Russell returned to the Lakers
- Josh Hart – Knicks player
- Peltl returned to Toronto
- Conley in Minnesota
Just imagine how Ben Simmons feels now, who once came to Brooklyn in exchange for James Harden.
“Expectations are now even higher” – this is already Luka Doncic optimistic about the future in which he and Kyrie Irving play together.
The Knicks have agreed a deal with Portland!
Josh Hart with a salary of $ 13 million goes to New York.
Details begin to emerge that finally forced the Lakers to part ways with Westbrook. It turns out that the player was so upset by all the hype around a possible trade for Kyrie Irving that he even had a fight with head coach Darwin Ham.
Another return!

While the rest are only being changed or are about to be changed, Kyrie is already gaining his first points for Dallas. By the way, in total for today’s match he has 24 points + victory + Luka Doncic’s joy.
Kevin Durant in Phoenix
I’ll have to get used to the fact that now Durant will play again in the Western Conference. The network has already thrown a new team uniform on the striker.
It seems that Phoenix decided to put everything on the coming seasons. The management decision is risky, but how can you turn down the opportunity to get Kevin Durant? That’s right – no way!
And now what will Brooklyn get!
- Mikal Bridges (26 years old, 198 cm)
- Cam Johnson (26 years old, 203 cm)
- Jay Crowder (32 years old, 198 cm)
- Four 1st round picks and a chance to trade picks in 2028
- Unprotected peaks in 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029
T.J. Warren, 29, is on his way to Phoenix with Kevin Durant.

D’Angelo Russell
Still, the NBA is amazing. First, Russell was traded for Russell. And secondly, it was the Lakers who once in 2015 drafted D’Angelo with the second number. The circle is closed.
For Westbrook, the Lakers received point guard D’Angelo Russell (he is 26) and forwards Malik Beasley (26, 193 cm) and Jarred Vanderbilt (23, 206 cm).
Russell Westbrook and LeBron James
This is what a picture could look like of LeBron James and the Lakers saying goodbye to Russell Westbrook and his huge contract. Russ clearly did not succeed and it is not a fact that he will be considered an NBA star at all.
One of the main days of the year! The deadline for trades in the NBA is today at 23:00 Moscow time. In the meantime, we are closely monitoring what clubs will do and how players and experts will react to it.
