Matt Brooks (@MattBrooksNBA) from Nets Daily joined me to talk about all the madness that is always happening with the Brooklyn Nets including the new rumors that Kevin Durant is open to playing with the Sixers. We discussed many things including Kevin Durant vs. Nets coaching and management, Durant and Harden's renewed friendship in Europe? a Celtics Jaylen Brown based package vs. a Sixers Tyrese Maxey based package, why a Sixers trade package might be more enticing than you think and why Morey might be actually willing to push in the chips more than any other GM in the NBA. After our discussion about Durant trades we held our very first SLOP TRIAL where we discussed Sean Marks entire tenure as the Nets GM and determined whether he is actually a good GM (and Durant is wrong) or a bad GM (and Durant is right). Enjoy!
