What will happen at the deadline

I’ve been all over the place on my prediction but I’m back to thinking Monte will add 2 good bench pieces. I think he knows the West is potentially tougher next year and we should be going for it this year. I’m not talking a swing for the fence trade but something that gives us a good shot to stay in the top 6. If we get to the post season and all the stars align you just never know.
Thybulle and Vandy together would either be a monster tandem defensively or a total offense killer off the bench. Do we know how well Vandy plays as the roll man in the PnR? Monk needs a center that can feast on lobs and those short drop off passes in the paint.
I'd probably rather have Richardson over Thybulle if we wound up with Vandy due to Richardson's versatility when it comes to everything. Collins and Thybulle would be an interesting pair as well.

I can't imagine the clippers risking a more or less successful core on a rental for a nut burger that latches on to any stray conspiracy theory that wanders through his general direction. Sure he can play ball but I would argue he's been a net negative at least since landing in Brooklyn if not a whole lot sooner. Classic Lakers move if they can scrape together enough assets to make the trade half-ass attractive to Brooklyn but I really don't know what assets they could offer up at this point.

Clippers would have a tough time matching salary without sending back a bunch of future money that the Nets may not want. Russ for Kyrie could be made to work, I guess, but the Nets can't really possibly get fair value. Maybe the Bulls try to get in the playoffs now and build something around Lonzo Ball, so the Nets could get next year + player option on him?
The Nets have almost $105M tied up in just KD, Ben Simmons, and Joe Harris for next season. So they're definitely not going to have cap room to replace a talent on the level of Kyrie.
So if they get a decent offer that makes sense then you make a deal and move on. But I wouldn't trade him just because he wants out. How many teams will offer anything of value or that actually fits with the Nets?

They could do a sign and trade in that event though. I'd probably roll the dice on that and at least try to salvage the season because Kyrie gone also means KD redoes his trade demand.
What's Kyrie's specific problem that has him begging off a team that got hot after they showed Nash the door though? (if it's just that he's a crackpot I already know that)

Durant was a S&T from the Warriors for D-Lo even though the Nets had the cash to sign Durant outright, they did the deal allowing Durant to get a bigger payday.
Although this might describe why the Nets are always on the wrong side of the worst deals in history moreso than other teams willingness to S&T guys this way. But did we see similar deals with either Ball in Chicago or Lowry in Miami?
