Yes? You're the owner, you can do whatever you want. Owners do this all the time. Like maybe not give him a new contract becuase the last one you gave him was a disaster? Why would it be rational to give him one now? And lol at the Nets, mangement "blow up a team that went 18 of 20" - Kyrie blew up a 60 win team - known as the Brooklyn Nets - the previous year with his ongoing, many-years long pattern of antics, Kyrie helped blow up Cleveland, Kyrie is literally MR TNT DYNAMITE BLOW UP teams. Bad tweets, bad bad tweets.

Yeah but at least you have a chance to compete this season. Just extend him, and the trade him next season
