Very petty of the Nets to do this since he’s not playing. They did that to get that response.

With all of this nonsense the Nets need to just hurry this up and move on for both parties sake.

I had to edit my post…sometimes the nets will still show players on the display before games even if they’re out for the game that night but then I peeped dude actually announced his name too which was definitely done on purpose to elicit that response smh

Nets owner and GM sabotage their team with their tough on stars act. They operate like a reality show. Pay Kyrie his max cause he’s a max player playing at a max level and get back to competing for a chip, it’s really that simple. All the other shyt is media driven distractions.

They let him torpedo their championship campaign last season (along with all the other drama and turmoil he's shared responsibility in), and you think this is some "tough on stars" act?

I can promise you, right or wrong, every organization would be doing the same thing right now.

It's not like Kyrie has some championship currency he can bargain with to trade for some leeway. The Nets are in a predicament where they put everything on the line for that KD, Harden and Kyrie experiment and nothing to show for it.

Clearly the organization has had enough getting walked over, all for nothing.

wouldn't it be better to get something over him leaving come June?

Depends what the something is

2 picks 4 & 6 years from now isn't shyt. Lakers probably don't win even with him but they and Kyrie are the only ones that benefit in that trade. He's on a contender right now and he's blowing that up, so why does he get to be rewarded by going where he wants and being on a contender for the next 1-2 years before LA's wheels officially fall off? Math doesn't add up.

W.e. you think about the org they've shown they're not above being petty towards Kyrie which you see in that tweet, they're tired of his shyt. So I don't think they're in a rush and hurry to do anything Kyrie wants, if anything they seem more likely to sit him home and trade KD before giving him what he wants, which is LA, because LA is the only team that thinks they can deal with him. And even they aren't giving him the full max they can if they get him. So now what?

Fair but when you dig a deep hole the best thing to do is not to keep on digging

Because he's going to do this shyt every time until he gets the biggest bag he can (And that's not really a guarantee) or leaves? :mjlol:


The Kyrie/KD Nets are an eternal engine of fukkery.

I'm fine with it fukk him

This is the last season for him here anyway. At this point the experiment was a failure but you go for it if you have the chance, everybody talking shyt on the Nets and it's fine. But reality is 30 out of 30 teams are doing the same thing, the same way, if they get the chance to.

The only mistake was the personalities collected whether it's Harden getting detained in Paris and coming into training camp just as fat as ever, Kyrie cashing way more checks sitting than playing and I'm not talking injuries. KD's been alright and can't blame him for wanting out now, but he was supposed to be the leader of the group and when shyt was burning down around him he wasn't doing much even by his own admission. So he can't not have shyt on him, even though there isn't much to say bad about him otherwise.

I been trying to tell Nets fans and apologists alike, that this was never going to have a happy ending.

They were caught up in this honeymoon phase of winning these games after Jacque took over thinking a change in coach was going to make a difference. The state of the culture is rotten to its core and trying to mask it with some temporary cologne was never going to stop the stank from inevitably permeating the situation.

It's all types of messy and no single party is to blame for all of it, but they damn sure are all to blame in equal parts.
