Must be back off his pills again

[Hey Yo]

Just like his idol Kobe did.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Can we say that the Celtics have officially killed this Nets "dynasty?"

Though this could be a collusion thing where he gets himself traded to LA I think the Nets may be angry enough to not give in and cut off their nose to spite their face.

Durant and Irving to OKC for SGA and a shit ton of assets. Who says no?

[SouBeachTalents]

:roll:

And he was actually managing to be normal the last 2 months. This imo just killed his chances at a max deal, as talented as he is, why would you want to put up with this bullshit from a guy who can't stay healthy and isn't even a legit superstar.

[tontoz]

He just can't control himself, even in a contract year.

KD must be like :facepalm:facepalm:facepalm

Time to face the music, Manny.

The chickens have come home to roost.

[FireDavidKahn]

This fool agreed to play the full season with the Nets in hopes of a championship before the season started.

This guy is the biggest fruitloop in NBA history

[SouBeachTalents]

I know logic doesn't apply to Kyrie, but I'm scratching my head trying to see his angle here. Like I said before, he had maintained a low profile since all that shit went down a couple months ago, has been playing extremely well, and when KD comes back would have a legit chance at a title.

What advantage is he looking to gain by doing this? I can't imagine any real contender will bite and risk him destroying their chemistry. It's honestly a very perplexing decision.

[FireDavidKahn]

KD left the Warriors for this

:oldlol::oldlol:

Possibly in collusion with James he could be trying to get to LA where he can get the max and won't have to face the Celtics.

[1987_Lakers]

Well that was out of left field.

[FireDavidKahn]

He really should just go back to LeBron. LeBron was the only one who could contain the crazy.

[RRR3]

The Lakers definitely would be dumb enough to invest in Kyrie

[tontoz]

Well that was out of left field.

He owns property in left field.

[8Ball]

Westbrook + 2027 first round pick.

Get it done.

[8Ball]

Possibly in collusion with James he could be trying to get to LA where he can get the max and won't have to face the Celtics.

Could be Trying?

He literally tried to force his way to the Lakers last summer and they have the cap space to give him a max deal.

[Real Men Wear Green]

The Lakers definitely would be dumb enough to invest in Kyrie

If they are all in on James it makes a lot of sense. Sooner or later they will have a few bad years regardless but with James if AD and Irving stay healthy that is their best chance to win this season. There's no better possible move.

[AlternativeAcc.]

Dude more than anything is just an attention whore.

Honestly one of the most despicable humans in sports history. He's a loser.

If the Nets do trade him just make sure to get a shooter or 2 and it's for the best. Durant has never had any talent on his teams anyways. Doesn't need it

[Proctor]

:roll:

He is such a loser

[ArbitraryWater]

wtf?


This is so weird.


Theyre actually paying well. They had a good year and a good shot with KD.

[Patrick Chewing]

Kyrie gonna Kyrie. There's something mentally off about him. And it's a shame because he is such a great player.

[ArbitraryWater]

are they gonna trade him for Russ or what? :lol

They have been 4 and 7 without Durant. They just got thrashed by their chief rival by 43 points. They are not playing well.

KD isnt out for the season dummie.

4-7 without KD is quite respectable.

Theyre 31-20 and had a 12-game win streak at one point.

[sdot_thadon]

Well damn, thought we weren't due another one of these until next year after settling in with the new club. I'm not sure it's a great idea but Lakers will bite.

You said they were playing well. That is present tense. So I pointed out what is presently going on. I know that you are an idiot but... nevermind, you are an idiot.

I guess if you think a 24-28 team will win the championship is within reason to call 4-7 respectable.

[RRR3]

Thats funny.

lakers go on a 5-game win streak: "theyre the 13th seed" says real men wear green
nets go 4-7 cause KD is out: "they arent playing well" but are still the 4th seed

too dumb to be true

[Real Men Wear Green]

Gosh I recall when Manny called me the dumbest poster on this forum because I said the Kings and Nets might be at the same level.

Nets have more talent but two of their big three are headcases and really one of their big 3 isnt so big anymore.

I would say that Durant deserves better but he is the architect of this shitshow. Won't stop him from demanding a trade as well of course.

[RRR3]

You said they are playing well. What part of present tense don't you understand? Is English not your primary language? We can do a Google translate for you if it helps.

[ArbitraryWater]

Literally just lose to the Celtics a few games ago

Im not sure anyone has any idea what youre trying to say right now.

It sure doesnt make sense at first glance.

[PP34Deuce]

Kyrie wants the money and compete.

He will go to a decent team that can pay him. Lakers clippers and probably a team that's west coast.

[highwhey]

this just changed the whole trade landscape right before the deadline lol. wouldn't be surprised if KD is fed up and just asks to be moved.

[ArbitraryWater]

You said they are playing well. Part of present tense don't you understand? Is English not your primary language? We can do a Google translate for you if it helps.


The Nets are paying well. They have a good shot at the title this year. 4th best odds to win the title, even though theyre 4-7 in the last 11.

Can your peanut brain muster why that is?

Now you can act dense as you always do and minimize their season into this itte frame with KD out. Sure know no one is better at the dense act than you.

Again: you said they are playing well. That is present tense. So right now they are 4-7 in their last 11 and got beat down by some kind of record 43 points. This is how they are playing right now. This is present tense. Very simple.

[PANTHALASSA]

I have to think the Nets have made it known to kyrie they don’t plan on giving him a max extension.


There would be no reason for them to make that decision now, let alone inform him of it.

They can allow this season to play out and then make a decision. Even if they feel it's unlikely, there's no way they straight up told him while the team has been rolling since the coaching change "Hey Kyrie theres no way we're bringing you back."

Wouldnt make any sense.

Again: you said they are playing well. That is present tense. So right now they are 4-7 in their last 11 and got beat down by some kind of record 43 points. This is how they are playing right now. This is present tense. Very simple.

fragile bitch cost the GOAT 2 rings:


Irving admitted recently that those Cavaliers would have won more titles if he had been more mature at the time, if he had spoken to LeBron rather than being closed off. Irving appeared on the latest “I Am Athlete” episode and opened up, as reported by Brian Lewis of the New York Post.

“If I was in the same maturity line and understanding of who I am, and I look back, we definitely, definitely would’ve won more championships, because there would’ve been a better man-to-man understanding about what I’m going through. I didn’t know how to share my emotions,” Irving said. “I didn’t know how to do that. So instead of sharing, I isolated myself.

if kyrie's fragile ass didnt go down in the finals in 2015 thats a guaranteed ring. cost the cavs back to back rings.


and then he got his shit kicked in when he tried to be a leader in boston. and then boohoo, learned his lesson late, complaining about how hard it is to be a leader.


and all of a sudden had all this newfound respect for the GOAT - too little too late little boy


and now he's causing the nets to implode after they gave up everything - I actually feel SORRY for these brooklyn fans now - even though I'd still beat them up on sight

Normally this is true but if LA is going to squeeze another championship out of the James eta they have to do something drastic and I'm not sure what other major move is or there.

The Lakers suck. They have no hope with Davis and Lebron on the sidelines. Kyrie certainly doesn't help them

[Im Still Ballin]

He's definitely colluding with Lebron and screwing Durant in the process. I doubt the Nets will entertain Westbrook + pick(s). This entitled POS will have to wait until the summer to join the Lakers.

If they don't have good health it's hopeless but they have James and Davis already so they might as well try. To be clear I am not predicting they win a championship. But I don't see what better player they have a possibility of getting.

Wtf ??????

After thinking about it for a sec, he at least gives Brooklyn a little bit of return instead of walking for nothing in FA.

On the other hand, asking for a trade is screwing Durant and teammates big time when you really have the chance to win a fukking chip.

Now here's the thing: if the Nets deal Irving they can't tank properly because they've already won a good amount of games and don't own their picks anyway. Making a deal makes a lot of sense for the Lakers but if the Nets are mad over how Irving's time there had gone... and that would be completely reasonable... they are going to want a lot for him and/or just have an attitude of "**** it."

He can walk for free to the Lakers in the offseason. LA just so happens to have Westbrook's 47m coming off their books. 2 FRPs and more beats nothing. Phoenix and Dallas might offer something that beats LA though.

And if he signs there that's his business but it doesn't mean the Nets have to facilitate that right now. What's a first round pick from a team with James Davis and Irving really worth? Is this significant value knowing that Durant doesn't want to play with Westbrook and will be the next to demand a trade? The Nets are screwed. In their position I'm not going to make things easier for Irving after I paid him 100+ millions to screw up my franchise year after year.

The two FRPs 2027 and 2029. Could be very valuable - LeBron will be 42 and 44; AD will be 33 and 37. The Durant situation is a concern, and that I agree. Any decision they make regarding Kyrie will influence his decision.

They world basically be praying for AD to have bad ankles. That's not something you want to be in the position to hour for. And you are again ignoring all what they have paid to Irving and what he has given them in return. They have to be pissed. Their plans have been completely ruined. Don't expect them to be cool with that.

[AlternativeAcc.]

Nets ain't trading for Westbrick. Durant already left that scrub. Trading for him would just upset Durant who carries rhe franchise by himself. Would be an all-time dumb move... they'd be worse immediately with him and it would force Durant out. Pls people stop bringing this up as a viable possibility.

why would anyone have to pray for Davis to have bad ankles? The chances of him being healthy are slim to none. Never seen an old guy like Lebron get healthier as they age

[NBAGOAT]

yea there's potential lakers do it. Phx can offer better I doubt they do it and they obviously want to wait and see what durant does. James/AD/Kyrie even with a trash roster outside them is a superteam on paper and should scare anyone. Stuff like this is why teams can vastly overrate how long their window is. Your own players can regress and league changes so quickly now. Hawks thought they had an long window after 2021 now they're floundering even with a more talented roster

2 FRP is better than losing Kyrie for free. Kyrie will easily tell any team trading for him, that he wont resign. So no one will trade first-round picks for half a year rental Kyrie.

It will be the Lakers 2 FRP, or nothing for the Nets.

Hawks were a Trae injury away from probably being in the finals (at least IMO) and maybe a championship and they will never get close to that again without significant changes. Life comes at you fast.

Man, imagine if the Lakers do trade Westbrook for Kyrie.

KD and Russ back together in Brooklyn.

[highwhey]

Man, imagine if the Lakers do trade Westbrook for Kyrie.

oh shit i didnt think about that :roll:

[Lakers Legend#32]

Keep him as far away from the Lakers as possible.

[Wally450]

The Nets two best players have requested trade in the last 6 months lol. :oldlol:

Kyrie said he only wanted to play into his early 30s. Here's his opportunity. No one's giving him a large contract after this.

[AlternativeAcc.]

2 FRP is better than losing Kyrie for free. Kyrie will easily tell any team trading for him, that he wont resign. So no one will trade first-round picks for half a year rental Kyrie.

It will be the Lakers 2 FRP, or nothing for the Nets.

Nothing is better if they keep dursnt. They'll have cap space to sign a better player who isn't a phycho

Trading for westbrick guarantees Durant leaves. With durant you still have a window to actually win instead of starting all over

[NBAGOAT]

Hawks were a Trae injury away from probably being in the finals (at least IMO) and maybe a championship and they will never get close to that again without significant changes. Life comes at you fast.

yea I've seen fans of teams like say like the grizzlies kings even nuggets who have taken the we're young so have a long window and it just usually doesnt work out that way. There's a lot of parity this year, if you can upgrade talent or fix a flaw you should go for it this year imo. Even for nuggets who look pretty dominant, if you can upgrade from mpj I would do it.

[highwhey]

yea there's potential lakers do it. Phx can offer better I doubt they do it and they obviously want to wait and see what durant does. James/AD/Kyrie even with a trash roster outside them is a superteam on paper and should scare anyone. Stuff like this is why teams can vastly overrate how long their window is. Your own players can regress and league changes so quickly now. Hawks thought they had an long window after 2021 now they're floundering even with a more talented roster

shams just reported suns are among the suitors for kyrie

MPJ was looking like he was gonna be a stud the last full season he had. Not sure what’s going on this year with him he’s been much less impressive. Still very big impact on offense.

yea might've just been a really hot shooting year.

Denver needs a backup center and a versatile defender who can guard the perimeter and be a secondary rim protector.

backup center shouldnt be too hard but they've been in some og rumors. They should definitely go for that though likely dont have enough. if portland retools, I think replacing mpj with grant should be an option too.

[bladefd]

Who would the Clippers trade?

Clippers do have options

and a 1st

And if he signs there that's his business but it doesn't mean the Nets have to facilitate that right now. What's a first round pick from a team with James Davis and Irving really worth? Is this significant value knowing that Durant doesn't want to play with Westbrook and will be the next to demand a trade? The Nets are screwed. In their position I'm not going to make things easier for Irving after I paid him 100+ millions to screw up my franchise year after year.

I doubt Lebron and Davis are on Lakers roster in 2027. I think both will be retired. Davis will pull an Andrew Luck due to the injuries. Kyrie would probably be gone by 2027. That is why the picks are very valuable

[DevBooker'sMask]

Just like his idol Kobe did.

he didnt learn the way he should have

[Hey Yo]

Nets say they'll sit Kyrie till he's traded.

Seems the lakers have enough if they want it but Kyrie has to take the shorter extension first

That trash the Lakers are offering isn’t enough return for Kyrie Irving.

[dazzer87]

To Dallas……:lol

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Dallas bound, wow

[Wardell Curry]

I don't think Kyrie Irving solves the Lakers' problems. They will still have no depth, no shooting, and no defense. They will be a better team for sure, but even if all 3 stars stay healthy, where's the rest of the team?

edit: to Dallas.
