Looks like the Nets were able to get Durant to back off his self-created cliff. Smart move on both sides, they weren’t going to get a better player or the draft haul they wanted. Will this ease the logjam? I’m not so sure. Mitchell hasn’t asked out and that roster in Utah is actually competitive as-is, easily as competitive as us. Indy won’t be taking a pick and pick swap since the Lakers are essentially out of moves.
Time for the Lakers to start mending their own fractures with Russ unless Rob is given the green light to overpay for two decent to above average role-players. Otherwise we’ll be in a worse situation with the Nets. Since I don’t see either Indy or the Lakers finding a middle ground here the time for a Kumbaya moment has now arrived.
