Its unbelievable how well all that is going from a Rockets point of view. I don't think I could have scripted it any better.
KD and Kyrie are the ones who wanted Nash and applied major pressure to Marks for things like the DJ contract and Harden trade
I wonder if Tsai will tell KD to go brush his hair, apply lotion, and gtfoh. KD and Kyrie have been attempting a hostile takeover of the organization while providing just 1 playoff series win
Irving was quoted as saying they didnt need a coach. Now they not only want a coach, but they want to fire the one they have.
Steve Nash is a horrible coach, but he is only there because KD and Kyrie did not want Kenny Atkinson now they want coach #3
Yeah, it is comedic that Durant thinks he can make these sort of demands when Kyrie/himself have had complete control over the moves that front office has made thus far. If I'm Tsai I'm there sitting asking Durant the following questions: "Didn't you and Kyrie not want a good coach, but rather someone to mold to your liking?" We hired Steve Nash for you. "Didn't you and Kyrie want James Harden?" We mortgaged our future to bring you James Harden. "Didn't you and Kyrie want flexibility to run the team as you both saw fit?" We permitted Kyrie to have extended vacations. We gave you full autonomy of our franchise, even though you didn't even play the first year. "Didn't you and Kyrie want DeAndre Jordan signed?" We signed Jordan for you guys and he suckeeeeed! Then we traded Jarrett Allen, a future all star, to get James Harden on board. "Why are you complaining Kevin, you've gotten everything you wanted and you just haven't delivered. Now you want me to fire Sean Marks, the one guy that has actually driven this franchise in a positive direction after Billy King destroyed it, and then I forced him to bow down to you and Kyrie? **** you KD."
This whole generation of "greats" kinda sucks. At least the team hoppers do. Dirk, Steph, Dame, Zion, Giannis, Jokic should all be held in a higher standard than the team hoppers. It's why the GOAT debate isn't a debate at all. It's Jordan. As far as I'm concerned, Steph vs Lebron is a real debate. If you team hop to a title, you shouldn't be looked at in the same light as the guys that did it on their own. Dirk's one title means more than any of Lebron's. Durant should've just stayed in OKC with Russ. Now he's just going to retire a miserable old has been that rode Steph Curry's coattails to his only titles.
Nothing will motivate a GM to trade a player more then a star player demanding the GM be fired if you aren’t traded lol
Stop with these silly facts... KD went in there with the owner and said the exact thing needed to guarantee they trade him asap. The media had them believing their own BS that they could wait this out and all would go back to normal because teams weren't putting out good offers.
they’d be doing Sean Marks so dirty Of all the bad moves the Nets have made in recent years, how many of them weren’t at the behest of KD and Kyrie? KD just signed an extension last year, so what changed? Maybe he should’ve applied pressure on Kyrie to do what he needs to do in order to play all the games, and Harden would still be there. Harden-KD-Kyrie was the betting favorites for the title. Now they got broke back Ben the thing is, even now, the Nets roster isn’t even that bad when healthy with KD and Kyrie there and a real coach
