    Let's grant that he is telling the truth (a real generous grant). Would you want to pay millions of dollars to a guy when encountered a stress situation, a mental block would be created and triggered disabling physical injuries?

    The question is about Next year
    Nets SHOULD be stacked (barring a mass exodus)
    Kyrie - KD - Simmons - Harris - Mills

    I dunno the status of all the contracts
    If they still have Curry, Claxton and Drummond
    (I think Brown leaves for more money)

    That should be a good top 8
    The question is DEFENSE . . . will they play it

    Have they offered him his own bus and a set of protocols?

    Ben Simmons is doing more for the Rockets as a Net than he ever would have if he had been traded to the Rockets. Keep doing you Ben Simmons.

    They should be stacked, but
    - will Simmons play
    - can KD stay healthy
    - can Kyrie stay interested
    If all yes then they are one of the favorites to make the finals next year. Also, will the coach hang around? Will be interesting to see.

    I predict they'll roll into the All Star break with some ridiculous record like 43-9 and then Kyrie decides he wants to take a longer break to walk the Earth.

    But doesn't it feel like KD is about to kick him to the curb after all the "bus driver/rider" hate that's going on?

    Who knows. I wouldn't be surprised if he gives the Nets the green light to trade Kyrie but I wouldn't be surprised either if he just sticks with Irving and Simmons.

    Now that's some shade.

    Everybody and they mama coming after Durrant these days, it's all downhill from here, especially since he has hitched his wagon to Kyrie.

    I bet Kyrie talked him out of staying with GS, gassing his head up.

    The nets aren't stacked. They're the Lakers of the East. Lets not get fooled multiple times. We knew this team couldn't defend and they got exposed. That's not changing for this old team
