Saw a report that he's looking for a max contract amid the trade request?

Kyrie on the Lakers is good on paper.

In reality, the Lakers will have 2 of the top 5 most unreliable players in the league AND 1 of them would have to sacrifice stats and playstyle to make it work.

Some say AD should sacrifice, that's ridiculous because he's the best player on the team. Which means Kyrie has to sacrifice his playstyle.

How will he take that demotion...

Kyrie will become more of a shooter. He'll take and make a larger share of the 3's the Lakers currently miss. If anyone sacrifices scoring, it will be Bron. Which will be good, he can conserve more energy for the defensive end.

Bron has never sacrificed ANYTHING his entire career.

And you expect him to start sacrificing now???

Good luck.

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.

The nets supposed to protect that nikkas honor after all this shyt?

Cmon fam :mjlol:

I think some of you all are delusional if you think Kyrie is getting blackballed. There will always be teams desperate enough to roll the dice with someone that possesses this caliber of talent
Only people who hate Kyrie (and black athletes in general like @Gil Scott-Heroin) would believe or hope he’s getting blackballed. He’s having the best season of his career, shooting damn near 50-50-90 with no sign of slowing down.

The only people carrying water for the Nets organization are paid off reporters. It was stupid to offer such a deal like that, and it’s proven Joe Tsai is all about his personal feelings instead of creating a winning franchise.

Kevin Durant, one of the most low maintenance superstars in the league, asked for a trade last summer.

They offered Kyrie a guaranteed deal based on if he won a title in his last year. During a time when Kyrie has been carrying the team.

They traded for Ben Simmons, who they somehow allowed to pass a physical with a back problem that needed surgery. There’s a clear ineptitude with Sean Marks and ownership.

They can’t tell me NBA teams are afraid of giving Kyrie max money when they gave a max deal to Chandler Parsons who had a history of injuries :mjpls:. There have been far more undeserving and riskier players who have gotten fully guaranteed deals.

You think they wouldn’t try to get pg in the trade since the clippers don’t have some good picks right now?
It’s no way the Clippers give up PG since they gave up so much to get him.

I think they’d offer Wall, Norman Powell, probably Terrance Mann, Kennard, Marcus Morris. Basically young talent and easily movable or expiring deals and maybe the 1 or 2 picks they do have

That’s a lot for a potential rental.
