They're legit ****ed if Harden walks. No cap space to get another star player. This is their best chance to get a title this year AND maintaining a window for Embiid in the future
I don't want Irving . . . . and those BKLYN picks values just shot through the roof!! May be time to cash in a couple of them. OG Anunoby anyone?
Kyrie isn't the problem. The Nets org is the problem. How do ALL THREE of your stars ask for trades within a year timeframe? It's just Tsai and Marks being stupid and overreacting to the hebrew thing. He's willing to play as long as you give him his guaranteed money.
Harden asked for a trade because Kyrie is unreliable, which in turn led to KD later requesting a trade, and now Kyrie himself is requesting a trade because his own actions over several years and several instances have led to the Nets not trusting him Kyrie had guaranteed money and years on his current deal, and has missed the majority of the games, so how can u say with confidence he's willing to play as long as u give him guaranteed money? Because he went a few weeks without an incident? He was on some hiatus when the Nets did the trade for Harden, and he ruined last season...nobody was beating Harden, KD, and Kyrie even with Harden's decline Kyrie is currently setting a 3rd franchise ablaze
games played in the last 4 years 20 of 72 54 of 72 29 of 82 40 of 51 but he'll play as long as you give him his guaranteed money per this CF's sauce
Pretty smart by kyrie. Waits until near deadline to push for a trade. He has the leverage. Nets have to trade him or risk losing him for nothing.
Harden already gave out the blueprint to get up outta there Kyrie is available for tomorrow's game...if he wants, he can push a trade through between now and the deadline fat suit mode, activated
Or Nets brass once again points out that there is no interest for Irving on the open market. Can go both ways. The dude is asking for four years 50 mil per year after sabotaging 3 years worth of prime championship caliber teams. That's straight up setting a franchise up on fire if I ever saw it. Only a desperate GM/owner will sign up to have Irving on their team on those terms
Surprised some posters are 'defending' Kyrie by stating that the Nets should have just offered Kyrie everything he wants, in order to stay. You do that with regular superstar players, not players who have a chance of missing a couple of games because the smoke from burning sage spoke to him in a dream that he shouldn't be playing or that he feels disrespected because something something Jewish something negroes something. All the talent to be a top 10 player in the NBA, and the personality / work ethic of an extremely unreliable person. So sad.
I see it's already begun. Every ESPN video uploaded on my YouTube is about Lakers and Kyrie. Predictable. If i'm the Nets, i tell Kyrie play out the season and walk this summer and take the chance Kyrie threatens to sit out. Fine him. Don't pay him if he does. Better than taking some teams garbage because you keep your balls and don't come out looking like the Lakers little b**** like so many franchises throughout NBA history. I'm sick and tired of teams always helping the Lakers whenever they need it.
