    No to Kyrie. He is only good as a second fiddle to a top superstar on a top contender. He is worse than useless as the main star on a second tier or rebuilding team, he would be a major negative. Ask Cleveland (pre-LeBron) or Boston.

    Russel Westbrook averaged 22.5 shots per game last season to Harden’s 22.3. Seems like sharing to me.

    Harden has been letting wall go crazy with his shooting to. But obviously he doesn’t share it with anyone

    Yeah, he “shared” cause he was doubled on a regular basis. Unfortunately it was to Westbrook. They can’t come off Kyrie cause he can shoot.

    He’s already quit bro. He’s “sharing” cause he leavin bro. He proved to all that he can still score even at his shape. Now he ain’t gotta do ****. Calvin said it best himself - he quit! Y’all are all in denial. I wouldn’t mind having Beal with a healthy Wall who can apparently now shoot the rock. Beal and A. Gordon three team deal = a James Harden.

    So this guy gets to play for his hometown team, is signed to a max by them while they know he was injured and paid to do absolutely nothing for a year, now doesn't want to show up to practice for a guy who he should have tremendous respect in Steve Nash, and him being a new coach trying to establish himself, this is the guy who destroyed Lebron James in public while Lebron did nothing and said nothing but very positive things for this man, probably much more than he deserved, and we want to trade for this guy?

    I would rather be without a superstar than Kyrie. He has had significant amounts of injuries as well and will use that as an excuse to sit out or skip practice whenever he feels like. I like Kyrie as a player on the court when he's playing, Cleveland would not have a championship without him, and he was the best player on the court many times during that series, but no freaking way I want this version of Kyrie here.

    Maybe playing on a injured ankle has slowed him?

    I keep telling people Kyrie is a nut case.

    He's going to ruin things there before its all said and done. He can't help himself.

    Dennis Rodman was a nutcase but that dude showed up to games

    Kyrie forgot he has a job

    At least John Wall knows the world is round

    Good thing Nets were dumb enough not to trade Kyrie for Harden.

    Kyrie is a nightmare, I would never want him on my team. Every team he goes to, he causes unnecessary drama.

    He's also a locker room cancer in every team he's at. His value is going to plummet after this fiasco but I guess desperate teams like the Knicks would still love to have him.

    Also, Kyrie has an unbelievable amount of dumb fans who also believe the earth is flat. That says a lot.

    You thought LOFs are bad? You don't want to see KOFs on this board.

    I don't really get what Kyrie's problem is right now. He's on a new team with his good friend. Why is he pulling this stunt and missing games.

    At least Harden after his one party thing has shown up for games

    Bless Kyrie for shifting the focus away from Harden. Glad the media can go pick on someone else for now. I was getting tired of the rehashed stories on a daily basis.

    Maybe there was some truth about the Nets possibly including him in a Harden trade and now he's acting out. He's an interesting character so who knows.

    Things Kyrie say:

    "I Plan on Re-Signing Here Next Year"

    "My Intellect … Everything I’m Awake To"

    Pre-game interview between Kyrie's Celtics and the Warriors when a reporter asked him about his physical health.

    'I'm an Actual Genius When It Comes to This Game'

    April 30, 2019 - ESPN reporter MacMullan interviewed Kyrie after his nine-point Game 2 loss to the Bucks in the 2019 NBA playoffs.

    'It Connected Me More to Nikola Tesla' - On JJ Redick's podcast.

    Irving expanded on this, saying through meditation he’s become more connected to historical figures (geniuses, mainly) who were vastly misunderstood. Like Tesla.

    "There Is Not One Real Picture of Earth"

    On UCONN Women's bball coach's podcast.

    Not Kryie, but Duke's astronomy professor about Duke alum: Kyrie saying the Earth is flat.

    “There’s a lot of misinformation out there. In some things, it’s good that he’s questioning established theories but this is one that is somewhat undeniable, so he probably shouldn’t go there … Things like the nature of time, the nature of space, the nature of fundamental particles, and there’s a lot of information more recently that even questions the possible relation of these things to our consciousness, so I think there are deeper things he could question rather than the shape of the Earth…“

    It would be akin to trading for 2020 in human form.

    Kyrie is with the Nets, a team that nobody in Brooklyn really wanted. They are the Clippers to the Lakers.
    Even though the Knicks have sucked for decades, it's still the main NBA team in that city.
    The Nets were in New Jersey, nobody cares about that state.

    Kyrie for Harden is not fair value anyways. Kyrie can't be the main star on a team. That team would be bad.
