    I would trade Kyrie for Paul George straight up

    The Nets was like the best situation for Kyrie.

    Is it because Simmons is now the baby and Kyries the middle child? :eek:

    I don't watch SAS too much, but in this case, I kind of agree with both Kyrie's tweets and SAS's criticism of Kyrie.

    It is true that people like SAS make money from talking about other public figures. 100% true. (He's not worth billions to anyone, LOL, but they make money from ranting about him.) But then it's also true that Kyrie doesn't appear fully dedicated to his profession.

    4 years of 60 win seasons, deep playoff runs, and fun, huh? Probably has nothing to do with a four-year extension he's eligible for.



    Which $200 million contract would be worse out of Kyrie and Harden?

    Great question. I would say Kyrie would be the worst of the two. I understand James Harden has not played elite, but maybe he gets in shape, hamstring gets healthy and he has a CP3 renaissance. While Kyrie is still elite, he is going to have his drama moments like he always does.
    Edit: I wouldn't pay $200 million to either.

    Kind of a bad look. SAS basically broadcasting that Kyrie lives in his head, rent free. That was not an impressive rant, and it refuted none of what Kyrie said about the media.

    Neither would be good Harden because his game is getting worse by the minute and Kyrie because he's been injury prone his whole career and as he gets older it probably will get worse.

    Interesting question, I think harden.
    He doesn't want to change his lifestyle and he's older also.

    A guard averaging 20ish pts can still warrant a payday, but Rockets harden vs Philly harden is such a dramatic difference.

    Klay was upset he wasn't on that top 75. Klay, who would have no case it was top 300. Some of them are so delusional it's just wild
