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.

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
:mjlol:

Serial Angry Face Dapper hoping for a midnight miracle for Kyrie to land next to Lebron :mjgrin:
I don't want Madame Zenobia next to no damn Bron.

You writing love letters and have the Clippers shedding their bench for a part time player :mjlol:

My only thing is figuring out which one of y'all apologists is Drederick, which one is Rod Strickland, and who's Asia :mjlol:

People acting like Joe Tsai wasn’t the fukk up that basically caused all this with his tweet blowing Kyrie’s shyt up and with them dumb ass demands.
I don’t think Kyrie was even going to stay even if they offered him that max with no stipulations.
Joe dumb ass just made it easier for Kyrie imo

Kyrie didnt get paid every day. He was suspended multiple times for things not basketball related. The only games he didnt show up for were the games THE NETS told him not to. Joe Tsai fukked that up. If he think thats supposed to make someone go above and beyond then thats on him. His teammates understand so thats all that matters. When Jacque gets sent packing, I will enjoy it. Just showing up to work and doing your job is fantasy land. Politics at play is what made Kyrie and the Nets turbulent. And its been like that for years.

He just a company man.

That's absolving Kyrie for his part in what's transpired. Both of them fukked up. Kyrie has always created problems for himself when he didn't necessarily have to.

Sean Marks ruined everything he built up prior to signing KD and Kyrie. Now my squad gonna end up in a worse position than the Boston trade.

Let's be honest, D'lo's as delusional as ever in Minny and might not re-sign him, Caris is a bench pieces that the Cavs are looking to trade, Jarrett's the only real loss and Claxton looks like he has a higher ceiling. What was really lost?

You turn KD/Kyrie into young players and picks and keep it moving. There was nothing to show for trading for KG & Pierce, we can still come out of all this a play in team, keep developing and be in talks for max free agents again in 2-3 years. That's a lot better than what was had before
