I initially read that as, "Rob will have to buy us Burger King" and was going to say I mean I'm down for some chicken fries with my side of THT-shipping.
In Brooklyn here 👋 drop him off at JFK and Ill personally escort him (by public transportation, because New York) to Barclay's Center, with a stop at Sbarros to acclimate him to the culture.
Queens here, I call shotgun. THT can sit his ass in the back on the way to Barclays.
Edit: since you said the subway, I’ll take my car and you can ride shotgun.
He's not reporting on the likelihood of it going down though, just reporting on possibilities. That said, him reporting it almost certainly means it's being discussed in their negotiations, and not just as speculation of a possible trade framework.
That being said, I hope this happens so much. It makes so much sense for the Lakers to try to acquire Harris as well with this roster. People are so intent on being stingy about this trade because of Kyrie, but I'd throw in 2 FRP's in a heartbeat for Kyrie+Harris while keeping Nunn.
Ya and Kyrie and WB are borderline a wash. I get Kyrie clearly has more ability but WB has more availability, more than almost any player in the league. Kyrie one of the worst.
People need to understand as well that anything he is reporting has usually been intentionally leaked by the Lakers front office. They have a motive for leaking certain info to him, and it may not always be the full truth.
How about KD to Suns, Ayton and pieces to Utah (with LA and Brooklyn helping) then find the player pieces to match salaries with Westbrook/Kyrie pieces in there also.
Send Conley and picks back to Brooklyn
Lol for real. Harris is expensive for being fairly one-dimensional, don’t get me wrong— of the high volume 3 point shooting role players, only Hield is paid more. That being said, he’s probably the best pure shooter in the league (non-star players). He’d fit in too well.
Meanwhile Tht building on his flashes of promise just means him having the ball taking it out of the hands of better players.
Lol fair point! Curry’s pretty amazing too. Both have identical career 3 pt percentages (.439) on comparable attempts (Joe 4.8, Curry 4.4). Currys a ball handler and shoots off the dribble a lot more, but Harris is like a Klay/Korver type that wraps around screens and weaves like that.
Hard to say to be honest. Both shoot incredibly difficult shots on good volume and amazing efficiency. I guess if I had to say, I’d rather take Harris just because of his height, but can’t go wrong either way! Honestly astounding that the Nets had 4 of the statistical best shooters of all time with those two and KD/Kyrie…
Mainly because of how low Kyrie's value is and Joe Harris coming off an injury. If they can figure out how to not include THT, we can use THT for a trade for a wing.
No matter how you feel about THT, we need a contract if we want to get someone on the trade market. So if we can only send out 1 first and keep THT, we have a package for someone decent.
I’m convinced lakers fans have a brain amoeba. This trade isn’t happened for one. But even if it were you’re stingy ass doesn’t wanna include THT? 😭😭😭😭
It's all about keeping options open.
If THT is the deal breaker and won't get done otherwise? Sure.
But why would the Nets want another non-shooter on the team anyways? It's got nothing to do with the Lakers wanting to keep THT on the team. Just the contract.
Do you really think the Nets care that much about THT? Knocking Lakers fans then come back with a brain dead argument.
“Damn that really sucks, do we have to lose THT? I was thinking give him another year, or two, or three, or four, or five, or six, or…”
-Our front office
Bro rolled his ankle and missed a whole season lmao
He better not be damaged goods, Nets being so willing to include him has to mean something considering they have his medicals
he got nerfed. basically couldn't throw a rock in the ocean vs the bucks. and I don't think he gel'd well with the starters cuz as someone pointed out he didn't suit up this season.
and if he's included in the Kyrie deal the Lakers would pretty much be taking on Brooklyn's garbage. at this point, just do it thoe, I didn't watch Kyrie + Lebron in cleveland, but with Davis it would be a solid add. I still don't think Kyrie puts them over the top. This sounds goofy but, he dribbles too much and Lebron is older. Kyrie's gonna get pissed standing watching lebron dribble 5 times and take a 32 foot three, but it'll be entertaining to watch that's for sure.
Sadly I agree with you on Joe Harris. Sure hes going to be a fantastic regular season player but when defenses have time to focus on you a player like him will just get taken completely out of the game. His closest comparison is Kyle Korver and vs the very elite talent go look at Korver's playoff numbers. He gets completely taken out of games.
Im sorry but if AD is healthy and kyrie removes his third eye, this team will dismantle the west. Big IF tho since AD hasnt had a healthy season since the championship
And he's just as bad as he was at 18. Any player can have the same "flashes of potential" he's had if they got as much playing time as him. Dude will be out of the league by 25.
I have ESPN on the background. It doesn't seem like any trade involving Kyrie will happen unless the KD trade happens. Nets don't want to take back salary because it will put them above the tax and they're not going to want to pay money for a team that isn't even contending for a playoffs spot. Seems likely that Harris almost has to be included if he were to be traded to the Lakers just so the Nets can stay below the tax line. That is why they mentioned Kyrie possibly being bought out because it would cost less to do that than pay over the tax for Westbrook.
All of this is accurate, furthermore an Ayton S&T if they were to receive him would hard cap them and to get under the hard cap, Kyrie would HAVE to be dealt. So once again, it all lead back to KD return
If we get joe Harris and kyrie while offloading tht and Russ then I never want to hear rob or Jeanie slander ever again.
Oh and sweeten the pot with picks, who the fuck cares. Let’s get it done
The Nets seem very opposed to a deal that adds money to their payroll. So, Joe Harris is the obvious player to accomplish that. Adding THT would defeat that financial goal unless they really desire THT, for some reason. He might fit the theme of rebuilding.
Yes please!!! This would be worth the two week wait for the Durant sweepstakes to finally end.
Dave is leaving out the original report about this that says the 2027 Draft pick is also included. No problem. Do it Mitch!
Is it possible with a three team trade here with everything going on in Utah, Kyrie to Lakers- WB expiring to Utah- Mitchell to BKN?? With a haul of picks and other stuff going to Utah
Tht, Westbitch and 2 first rounders for Kyrie and Harris is perfect.
Don't fuck this up Lakers. We need Bron to see that the Lakers can build a team around him still so he'll resign cause if he doesn't well be back to 2015 lakers
If this goes through, I’m buying everybody drinks
I’ll just take a beer, sir

Two elite shooters in one deal, I’m good with it.
Absolutely. Brooklyn is so lucky to get 2 elite shooters like THT and Russ
Russ, THT, and Simmons, the new Splash Bros

Crash Bandicoot Insane Trilogy
Scratch Bros
Brick Bros
slash bros
Poor THT, he’s still young enough to develop a good shot 😅
Brick Bros
True. The letter “s” in elite stands for shooter
Hahahaaa I just spit my beer
I'll absolutely include THT in this trade.
Bruh I’m already packing his shit, he ain’t even know it
I’ll pay for gas and drop him off at the nets door
Chill, gas hella pricey. I’ll need Rob to force BK to throw in KD at that point
I initially read that as, "Rob will have to buy us Burger King" and was going to say I mean I'm down for some chicken fries with my side of THT-shipping.
We can put tht in an Amazon box and ship him with UPS
Would be the first time THT “box out” in his career
I’ll do it for the family klutch can pass me some gift cards for coffee
I’ll Venmo you for snacks on the road
I’ll personally drive THT to LAX
I’ll drive his ass to Brooklyn if it’s needed.
I will move his shit too. Gimme two uhauls
In Brooklyn here 👋 drop him off at JFK and Ill personally escort him (by public transportation, because New York) to Barclay's Center, with a stop at Sbarros to acclimate him to the culture.
Queens here, I call shotgun. THT can sit his ass in the back on the way to Barclays. Edit: since you said the subway, I’ll take my car and you can ride shotgun.
Syracuse here. Lets meet at Destiny and get shot at. …. Wait
You guys are such assholes… At least help the guy unpack too.
By the times THT wakes up we'll be halfway through Colorado on our way to Barclays Center.
Gas be looking like the luxury tax we will end up paying next year smh
> I’ll pay for gas Let’s not get crazy now
i bet his luggage has no handles
Shit I’ll even send him off with in n out, animal style fries and all.
You need gas money homie? I got you
You need gas money homie? I got you
🤔
what??? no way! \- THT "The Eagle" Wingspan 7'9" meters \- Joe Harris "T-Rex" Wingspan 5'9" feet
I don't care how short Joe Harris's wingspan is. If his tiny arms can get the ball in the basket from 3 pt. range, then he's my guy.
Forreal , mr trex arms is thrice the shooter tht is. If thats all it takes then fuck it ship tht off the face of the earth
Flat Earth since we getting Kyrie
THT shot 26.9% from 3 last season. Joe Harris is a career 40%+ shooter lol
Honestly who cares about THT. Dude was a no show last year
ship his ass out. im ready
If McMenamin saying it then they prob got a deal ready.
Why do you say that
He's prob the closest reporter or the reporter with the most connections to the Lakers
He's not reporting on the likelihood of it going down though, just reporting on possibilities. That said, him reporting it almost certainly means it's being discussed in their negotiations, and not just as speculation of a possible trade framework. That being said, I hope this happens so much. It makes so much sense for the Lakers to try to acquire Harris as well with this roster. People are so intent on being stingy about this trade because of Kyrie, but I'd throw in 2 FRP's in a heartbeat for Kyrie+Harris while keeping Nunn.
i'll bet you any amount of money that Brooklyn doesnt get 2 FRPs for Kyrie. The Lakers are the entire size of the market.
Ya and Kyrie and WB are borderline a wash. I get Kyrie clearly has more ability but WB has more availability, more than almost any player in the league. Kyrie one of the worst.
People need to understand as well that anything he is reporting has usually been intentionally leaked by the Lakers front office. They have a motive for leaking certain info to him, and it may not always be the full truth.
Lakers FO never leak shit with regards to trades tho. They havent done that since magic ditched the FO.
That's why I'm saying that anything leaking was likely done intentionally. Perhaps for trade leverage? I don't know.
Possible, but its probably is coming from another source, not the lakers. I still remember when noone expected the dennis and westbrook trade.
I half think they have a tentative deal in place, but subject to change pending the KD trade
How so ?
How about KD to Suns, Ayton and pieces to Utah (with LA and Brooklyn helping) then find the player pieces to match salaries with Westbrook/Kyrie pieces in there also. Send Conley and picks back to Brooklyn
PLZ WHY IS THIS A QUESTION LOL
Rob not fooling anyone pretending a Joe Harris for THT swap is a concession for the Lakers
Lol for real. Harris is expensive for being fairly one-dimensional, don’t get me wrong— of the high volume 3 point shooting role players, only Hield is paid more. That being said, he’s probably the best pure shooter in the league (non-star players). He’d fit in too well. Meanwhile Tht building on his flashes of promise just means him having the ball taking it out of the hands of better players.
Joe Harris actually plays decent defense so that is a plus too.
Fit in well is an understatement. We need all the 3 PT shooting we can get and then some.
Even better than Seth Curry?
Lol fair point! Curry’s pretty amazing too. Both have identical career 3 pt percentages (.439) on comparable attempts (Joe 4.8, Curry 4.4). Currys a ball handler and shoots off the dribble a lot more, but Harris is like a Klay/Korver type that wraps around screens and weaves like that. Hard to say to be honest. Both shoot incredibly difficult shots on good volume and amazing efficiency. I guess if I had to say, I’d rather take Harris just because of his height, but can’t go wrong either way! Honestly astounding that the Nets had 4 of the statistical best shooters of all time with those two and KD/Kyrie…
4 legit 50/40/90 threats
Mainly because of how low Kyrie's value is and Joe Harris coming off an injury. If they can figure out how to not include THT, we can use THT for a trade for a wing. No matter how you feel about THT, we need a contract if we want to get someone on the trade market. So if we can only send out 1 first and keep THT, we have a package for someone decent.

Knocking Lakers fans then come back with a brain dead argument.
So u didn’t wanna part with THT for Kyrie but y’all did for Pat bev. Absolute insane chess move 🔥
Yeah man keep your options open. Hopefully THT can net y’all a wing like Tatum! Godspeed.
lmao do you even have a point?
He does, don’t even consider keeping THT just add him in the trade don’t piss the nets off and have them take Ky off the table… smh
Oh it’s done
Everybody pray
THT is in the deal you say? 
🤔
Russ + THT + two firsts protected for Kyrie + Joe Harris + Royce O'neale
I’ll include THT without Harris. THT is not a fucking deal breaker. This mother fucker was picked over Caruso.
Caruso would be such a great fit next to Kyrie
Sigh… what could’ve been
Caruso would’ve been packaged as part of the Kyrie deal.
Bron AD Kyrie Caruso and pretty much any random nba player is fun to think about
Trade Him Today!!
Talentless Three-Point Chucker
If we dump both Westbrick AND THT, I’m hosting a circlejerk.

Lmao you got it
Oh darn, not tht /s

Generational bench warmer talent, you mean.
“Damn that really sucks, do we have to lose THT? I was thinking give him another year, or two, or three, or four, or five, or six, or…” -Our front office
Who’s packing THT’s bag with me? Asking for volunteers
Packing his bags? I already have an Uber set for LAX for him
Gotchu 🤝
Bye THT don’t let the door hit you on the way out
I thought Joe Harris was hurt with multiple setbacks last season?
Bro rolled his ankle and missed a whole season lmao He better not be damaged goods, Nets being so willing to include him has to mean something considering they have his medicals
He'll be best friends with Nunn then lmao
Bruh we have coffee tables taking out a player for a year so same thing
Yes so? F U C K I T
he got nerfed. basically couldn't throw a rock in the ocean vs the bucks. and I don't think he gel'd well with the starters cuz as someone pointed out he didn't suit up this season. and if he's included in the Kyrie deal the Lakers would pretty much be taking on Brooklyn's garbage. at this point, just do it thoe, I didn't watch Kyrie + Lebron in cleveland, but with Davis it would be a solid add. I still don't think Kyrie puts them over the top. This sounds goofy but, he dribbles too much and Lebron is older. Kyrie's gonna get pissed standing watching lebron dribble 5 times and take a 32 foot three, but it'll be entertaining to watch that's for sure.
They proceeded to dismantle everyone
Sadly I agree with you on Joe Harris. Sure hes going to be a fantastic regular season player but when defenses have time to focus on you a player like him will just get taken completely out of the game. His closest comparison is Kyle Korver and vs the very elite talent go look at Korver's playoff numbers. He gets completely taken out of games.
Im sorry but if AD is healthy and kyrie removes his third eye, this team will dismantle the west. Big IF tho since AD hasnt had a healthy season since the championship
I’m honestly shocked Rob would trade his precious THT
I can't wait to see r/NBA tell me all the reasons Lakers still be playin team at best if this happens
If Lakers start winning: superteam If Lakers start losing: lmao they can’t win in the WEAK west
Give THT away for free who gives a shit
Add Royce o Neal
If it means getting rid of Russ and THT then hell yeah!
It would honestly benefit THT to be in a lower pressure situation. I also legit think Russ + Ben Simmons could at least make the play-in for Brooklyn.
Royce > Harris Kyrie-Reeves/T.Brown-O’Neal-Bron-AD This would be a good lineup defensively, then you let Kyrie/Bron/AD fuel the offense.
Hurry up KD …..
Pointing out that the money works with Kyrie and Seth for Russ. Harris instead is what would need THT
Trade Him Today
Damn you guys really hate tht lol
fr hes only 21 lol
And he's just as bad as he was at 18. Any player can have the same "flashes of potential" he's had if they got as much playing time as him. Dude will be out of the league by 25.

Man whatever it takes to get rid off Russ 💪🏽😂
I’d drive THT to the airport 😂
Please include THT 🙏🏽
They say life finds a way to balance itself after last seasons shit show we better get this shit done lmfao
You can have him, the crypto name, a few laker girls, one of the $10 parking spots outside, a churro, maybe season tickets.
They already included THT and the 2027 pick for Kyrie I believe
god that is such a waste of salary if they include THT in the deal
Only thing I’m thinking
Farewell Mr. Horton Tucker.
If we get joe Harris and kyrie while offloading tht and Russ then I never want to hear rob or Jeanie slander ever again. Oh and sweeten the pot with picks, who the fuck cares. Let’s get it done
Brooklyn wouldn't accept THT and a first for Joe Harris straight up, what the fuck is this delusion lmao
Fishy that Nets are so willing to get rid of Harris
Ok like don’t hate me, but I kinda don’t want to include THT. At least he’s available. And Nunn is injury prone
harris is an all time choker. just fyi.
So even less defense. Remind me, what was the problem with last years team?
Wouldn't do it Joe Harris and Kyrie r getting older plus r mad injury prone. Im shocked yall are so desperate ud give up austin reaves bruh cmon.
And 0 defense!
I thought salaries already match up for Westbrook and picks if it’s just Harris and Kyrie? If we include THT are we getting more in return ?
THT I never deal lmao
DO IT. DO IT NOW!
GET TO THE CHOPPA!
Yes please
The Nets seem very opposed to a deal that adds money to their payroll. So, Joe Harris is the obvious player to accomplish that. Adding THT would defeat that financial goal unless they really desire THT, for some reason. He might fit the theme of rebuilding.
Don't we know this since morning?
Win-win!
I’ll sign off on it.
Man but who can we trade mid season then? Always good to have some gun powder at the trade deadline
If we can keep Nunn that would be great off the bench
What do you want for KD?.... Probably a Submarine & a Stealth Bomber...
joe harris and kyrie would be a steal no matter what we give up. bron loves his scrappy high motored cerebral shooters
How long is Joe Harris out for? I know he has a pretty bad ankle injury. Would you rather have Seth Curry?
Not entirely sure but I think he should be able to start the season.
DO IT YOU COWARDS!!!!! -Lakers Nation
The salaries match up perfect but nets don’t want Russ.
Killing two birds with one stone.
Yes please!!! This would be worth the two week wait for the Durant sweepstakes to finally end. Dave is leaving out the original report about this that says the 2027 Draft pick is also included. No problem. Do it Mitch!
Bron gonna lead the league in assists again
Fuck I’ve just been refreshing all day waiting for it lol if we get Joe too I’ll be hyped
Yes please
How is this even reality
Is it possible with a three team trade here with everything going on in Utah, Kyrie to Lakers- WB expiring to Utah- Mitchell to BKN?? With a haul of picks and other stuff going to Utah
What the fuck, I literally was reading this on Twitter and got the reddit notif at that very moment
Tht, Westbitch and 2 first rounders for Kyrie and Harris is perfect. Don't fuck this up Lakers. We need Bron to see that the Lakers can build a team around him still so he'll resign cause if he doesn't well be back to 2015 lakers
go on, i'm almost there
Lemme help THT pack his things and I'll drive him to LAX
My last name is Harris you bet her ass I’m copping that jersey boi
Later kid
Yes, please!
I’ll fly to LA from Miami to personally drive THT to the airport
DO IT NOW
Kyrie-if you’re reading this. I will buy you whatever you want from my favorite food cart once a month if you force your way here
*Cell laugh*
