    What would you want Kyrie to teach - Like flat Earth type topics or how to only play part time? Or maybe how to create drama?

    Kyrie is a good way to trash a franchise, unfortunately there's no way to get him to the GSWs.

    Kyrie has never been a top 5-10 player. Too 5 -10 scoter yes. But if you factor in defense play making etc. he's barely top 20 in my opinion. Never led his own team anywhere close to the playoffs.

    This is Texas

    We aren't the liberal bastion of a a state that New York is. Thank God

    He can play every game except against the Knicks/Nets. I used to not like Kyrie, but him standing up for his rights has made me a fan.

    Yet Kyrie helped win a championship by making the biggest shot in that series.

    Welcome to the board Senator Cruz. There's an urgent need for your expertise in D&D.

    He would have found another excuse to not play.

    He has missed 253 games over the last 11 seasons.... and has missed almost 140 games over the last three seasons.

    Put him on a bad Rockets team and he will find a reason not to play.... he has done it everywhere he has been and it has only gotten worse with time.

    Banchero/Green/Sengun/KPJ/Kyrie is the start of a pretty good team. Just gotta add a couple of more pieces and Stone has the trade chips to to that.

    This would be a very hard team to defend. Just gotta learn to play defense and add a couple of 3-D guys

    What does Cruz have to do with exercising your rights.

    Absolutely not. I’d rather be a lottery team for 3 more years than have that clown on our team.

    Defense matters. Unless Banchero surprises everyone that would be a horrible defensive team. Now if you could add Jabari instead of Banchero and another defensive big then we would complete for playoffs this year. KPJ would have to play SF though, but with his new found efficiency as a spot up 3pter it might work.

    I support his right to believe that the earth is flat. But I don’t want that kind of insanity near 19 yr old kids.

    Because no team is giving John Wall $47.3m for a single year again.

    Hell, he may not make that much over the rest of his career.

    Wall opting out is a terrible financial decision.

    cause it makes 0 sense for either to opt out of that much guaranteed money, which they won't. it's literally common sense

    lol at people actually wanting Kyrie here…fool me once, ok, but you’d think people would finally learn after getting fooled 3+ times

    Kyrie wanted to be in BK…it speaks volumes if they’re already ready for him to gtfo

    but yeah, he’ll turn it around playing for the sorriest team in the league 2 years running…
