By knux-future Go To PostKyrie is nuts enough to just retire
Wouldn't opting in, then sitting out Ben Simmons-style, be more his speed?
By n8 dogg Go To Postis it too late to support the kingsThey were my second team until they gave Doncic to the Mavs. An unforgivable sin.
I suggest maybe looking at the Pistons.
Billionaire LeBron and Klutch gonna pay Kyrie under the table
Then Nike will renew his contract/endorsement x LA endorsements

Raptors are my second, baby. Gotta pull for dinosaurs.

I love the drama tbh. So what if he wants gone? Fucker thinks the tightest GM in the game is gonna just take Westbrook looooool
Give AD, Monk, Nunn and picks and then we’ll talk.
And if he signs longterm after a single year MLE, he just won't get much, iirc, since he would be limited to 20% raises.
I’m fairly zen about the proceedings, to be quite honest with you. Coming from football, one of the things I fucking HATE about that sport is player power and how they can down tools, refuse to play, force moves, etc. Maybe that makes me sound like a capitalist scumbag who is against workers rights, lol. But sport is different. When you sign a contract, you’re also signing one with the hearts and hopes and dreams of a fan base. So if I’m not allowed to turn up to my job without repercussions, you shouldn’t be as a millionaire throwing or kicking a ball around when people’s emotions are at stake.
It seems - rightly or wrongly - the Nets are pushing back a little bit against the player power era. Kyrie makes 35 million dollars a year. In the last two years, he’s gone awol for no reason and been seen at birthday parties, and he’s been absent because of Covid rules: myopic rules given other players could play and he couldn’t, sure, but ultimately he’s been unreliable. What do the Nets do if there’s another Covid wave and mandate?
Only in sport can someone underachieve at their job so much and be rewarded with such riches. The fact he’s looking for an out instead of trying to show he is worth whatever contract he is looking for shows me he isn’t ultimately worth it. Not worth the hassle.
Still, totally different Nets than I was used to the last two years lol. Went from just getting to know Allen and Levert to feeling like I was being spoiled every week with the big three. Now it looks like there’ll be none left. All I need is Harris and Brown and I’m happy m8s.

Bad luck n8. Of all the places to "upgrade", why Harris? Don't we have a million 6'2" guards to trade for wing depth?
Joe Tsai frequents slaent and has something against n8
It’s the only explanation
N8 how much shit have you talked about China

Nets going into a rebuild lmao
Fuck the Nets. Knicks dodged a trainwreck, I've been saying this for years. Didn't want Kyrie then, don't want him now.

There's been suns fans and "insiders" talking about the suns going for a superstar this offseason that wants to play with booker since the game 7 loss and I thought it was just copium. Now KD is seeming to be available soon and i'm trying not to get my hopes up, but then I remember KD saying phoenix is one of his top 5 cities.

Ayton, Bridges, Crowder and picks at a minimum?
By n8 dogg Go To PostGuy is honestly so fragile mentallyNo he isn't, if anything the opposite since he has a mind of his own. Also that tweet is full of shit since he was a big part on why Cleveland won a chip.
By unknown Go To PostNo he isn't, if anything the opposite since he has a mind of his own. Also that tweet is full of shit since he was a big part on why Cleveland won a chip.
The fact professionals being paid millions respond to this shit at all is mind boggling to me
By n8 dogg Go To PostAyton, Bridges, Crowder and picks at a minimum?It might be a three team deal, but yes I would assume its those three, somehow if james jones can make it cam j instead of mikal that would be a miracle but i guess it'd depend on the third team. Ayton, Simmons and mikal would be scary on defense
By knux-future Go To Postfuck barstool lolregardless of anything and everything else, i stand by this
By n8 dogg Go To PostMurray and Young both too ball dominant surelynah, that team badly needs another primary creator
By Kibner Go To Postnah, that team badly needs another primary creatorAnd a big guard that can play defense
By DiPro Go To Postdoes a Simmons and Ayton core make the play-ins?
Not without five amazing shot makers around them. Harris, Curry, Mills or whoever need to be shooting close to 50 at a consistent rate
I have a Durant black jersey from 20/21, a Harris Basquiat one and a BKLYN Kyrie one
thank fuck i didn’t get the throwback Harden like I was planning lol

By DY_nasty Go To Postanything for nu duncani would love if Victor went to the spurs.
By pkaz01 Go To PostIf they have mikal too they will, not with nash as the coach though
I’m sure it’d be a shame for you to lose Bridges. I guess if KD is on the table though… you move for KD.
By DiPro Go To Posti would love if Victor went to the spurs.No. I honestly do not need every team in the Southwest Division to have a potential HoF player.
Granted, Houston would still be without theirs, but three other teams is too many.
By n8 dogg Go To PostI’m sure it’d be a shame for you to lose Bridges. I guess if KD is on the table though… you move for KD.I've always preferred Mikal to DA so it would be a huge loss, but we aren't going anywhere with DA leaving so you have to jump on KD and go for it next year, then find a Paul replacement
By n8 dogg Go To PostMurray and Young both too ball dominant surely
Trae really isn't as ball hungry as it seems.
By Kibner Go To Postnah, that team badly needs another primary creator

4th highest USG in the league at 33.3 (although I guess you could argue out of necessity).
By n8 dogg Go To Post4th highest USG in the league at 33.3 (although I guess you could argue out of necessity).On an ideal team, you want literally everyone to be a capable ball-handler and creator. Even on less-than-ideal teams, you never want a single guy to be your primary guy. They will break down over the course of a season or run into a superior defensive team that makes heliocentric style offenses sputter.
Yeah, I see that. Memphis and Boston having that this season
This is why Pels are gonna be huge next year. CJ, BI and Point Zion. I believe m8.
