    Yeah that guy doesn't understand leverage, I've tried to have the same conversation. Just genuinely does not seem able to get his head around the concept at all, which is why he still thinks it's ass backwards and FVV has all the power.

    Since you put this in the Rockets forum, let us remember how hard Kyrie flaked out on Durant and Harden in Brooklyn.

    Flat-earther, no-vax, personal issues, etcetera etcetera.

    He’s still an incredible player! I wonder if Dallas is willing to go into that next apron for him?

    Lol keep Kyrie away from this team. No chance he and KD are on good terms.

    Going from Fred & Jalen to KD & Ky
    While only losing Dillon in the process

    We'd go from the ugliest game in basketball to one of the most elegant that's for sure. We wouldn't even need Ime to figure out how a basic PnR works either, we could just let Ky cook and KD casually score beautiful jumpshots lol.

    It’s only a wet dream… Unfortunately Fred is our franchise player

    Kyrie would be a great addition. If we decline FVV can we sign him ?

    I don’t trust Kyrie and Durant to be leaders as far as I could throw them


    Pass on that reunion

    He was 100% right on not taking the vax and If you haven’t figured that out yet you need to reevaluate your entire life lol… regardless he won that on both principle and law. No one can force you to take an experimental drug that you don’t want to not your job, not the state, not the federal government

    Jrue hasn’t updated yet on trade machine but would this trade work?

    Houston: Kyrie
    Mavs: Jrue
    Portland: 2 picks + they buyout Fred’s option(maybe resigns here and moves to bench when kyrie back)

    LOL. Why stop there. Kyrie, KD, Westbrook, Harden, Paul. BOOM! Who needs a bench or a center

    Amen's the leader, keep up. He can definitely beat up both of them so they'll get in line.
