Hey did you know there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? Did you know the hoods of America imported crack in the 80s? And of course the original Black Panthers were a dangerous group of criminals ravaging their community. Did you know cloud seeding is 100% fake as in not a single government website says it has happened in the past. MKUltra is totally fake. Do you really believe there is/are islands the elite go to and take part in crazy/immoral activites? Everything the government tells us is 100% fact, so I don't know why people like Kyrie and others like Steph Curry question the official narrative on anything because thats dangerous! damn where's Hitler or Stalin when you need them to stop all this wrongthink by banning books and ideas again
I would love to have a Horry type player on next years squad. BTW, I don't blame Stone for not trading for Irving. But at some point Stone needs to take a chance if he wants to win a championship. Williamson and Mitchell are the two players available that are high risk, high reward type guys that are reported to be available.
There is a reason they are available. First Mitchell has been reported to be headed to Knicks for a couple of years. Because Brunson has been pushed to a Super Saiyan character......rumor is Nets will overpay for him. It will be a bidding war forcing us to give away excellent potential in some of our young kids. Plus, Aaron Gordon nixed a trade to Houston (then traded to Nuggets), why would Donovan Mitchell go to Houston over staying in Cleveland who made a good playoff run? People need to ask themselves a question like that. People are so amped to get rid of Jalen Green that they forget to ask why star would come to Houston when losing half the team in the process. At least Nets are in his desired destination. Second I predicted Zion Williamson would have eating/weight issues which would result in physical ailments and lost time. Why would Pels trade him? Because they are feed up with his weight issues. Best ability is availability. Irving was anti-vax and his state did not allow him to play home games. I wouldn't pay a star full time money for part time play. Kyrie is wishy-washy about when he wants to play. He decided to play this year; but didn't look interested in making it work last year. I would go get Paul George if I can unload players like Jeff Green, Tate, Dillon Brooks, VanVleet and keep most of our young kids. I'd let Paul George have a two year deal, and play part time minutes for load management. PG can start the 1st, 3rd and finish games. Every other star will want to be ball dominant and snub the development of the kids.
Kyrie Irving: Side-Kick Extrodanare has been very successful everywhere he went aside from Brooklyn where everyone was injured and political shenanigans occurred. Kyrie Irving: The Main Act was a catastrophe in Boston and set them back a few years. Kyrie was going to be the #1 if he ever went to Houston, wrong place, wrong time.
character matters. esp when u got a team of youngsters and trying to build a culture... same reason i wanted no part of James hard-on.... if u r a piece away... u turn a blind eye maybe regarding the guy that you think can 'put you over the hump'... If u r building a team from the ground up - do it right... there will always been time to sell your soul later,,,
The “politics” matter when it pushes why people think he’s insane and a cancer. Again what my second paragraph reinforces; mavs made a risky move buying him at an all time low and it worked out, now people want to erase history and call out stone for not getting him
All this hard nutting over Kyrie but Kyrie isn't even the one carrying the Mavs it's Luka, not Kyrie. Kyrie is just fulfilling the 2nd banana role multiple other stars could have done like Paul George, Harden, Curry, LeBron, AD, Maxey etc With Luka carving up the Minny defense it's easy for Irving to pick his spots and attack.
I dont think they would have to give up much more than Green, #3 and another 1st for Mitchell, but if they had to give up Eason I would be OK with this. A 41-41 team with a lot of young talent and money to spend in FA would be attractive to Mitchell IMHO. Much more attractive than the Nets. I would pay Irving for 1/2 a year because it's not his fault that the vax hoax was perpetuated on our country by Fauci. He made the right call and I say this as a guy that got the first 2 pokes. God I feel stupid for trusting our govt. Bunch of liars. Is Williamson a risk? Yes he is, but right now there are no players with top 25 potential on the team and I dont think any of them have the talent to lead the Rockets to a championship. I'm betting Ime can get Williamson in shape and focused. The Talent to be a top 10 type player is there. To be great you've gotta take some risks is my point. Nobody is going to trade you Jokic/Luka/Giannis etc... so to be great you've gotta take some chances like the Mavs did with Irving.
Politics shouldn't ever matter when it comes to sports. Unfortunately in today's world that's a pipe dream.
Stone is actually a pebble in the grand scheme of things...... Could have, would have , should have.....
Harden was just a possible rental for Clips Harden PJ Tucker Filip Petrusev x Nic Batum Marcus Morris Robert Covington KJ Martin 2028 1st Rd pk 2 second rd's Another team's 1st Rd pk __________________ Rudy Gobert x Malik Beasley Patrick Beverley Leandro Bolmaro Walker Kessler Jarred Vanderbilt 4 future 1st 1 pk swap _________________ Donovan Mitchell x Collin Sexton Ochai Agbaji Lauri Markkanen 3 first Rd picks 2 pick swaps I laugh at people thinking the world doesn't know about Donovan Mitchell. As if he is some kind of sleeper talent smuck.......he is one of the best talents in the league. Good luck with that. Rumor is the Cavs fired Bickerstaff to please D Mitchell. He gets to pick his next coach. They won't just give him up for a bunch of scrubs.
