Missing the point. The suspension wasn't the problem. The 2 main issues were

1) Wasn't a set suspension

2) You forced him to do a list of things before coming back

Both are unacceptable.

Suspend him 5 games and move on

 

[bksballer89]

If I’m the Nets owner he’s not playing now. F it I’ll go down with the ship.

And your franchise will go to the shit for the next 30 years.....real smart

The group of owners that wants to do a lockout just got a little stronger, that is a guarantee.

They will lose this unless the league just rolls over. Since Silver is a huge pussy they probably will though.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

It's mind boggling, and DISGUSTING, that most players seem to want to give him a pass for this bigotry.


All forms of discrimination, racism, homophobia, religious persecution, bigotry should be punished.

Not just the ones that are personally offensive to 80% of the players.

Justice is not for JUST US.

Could not agree more.

Sometimes it's really hard to believe we're now in the year 2022.

All the progress that's been made to benefit many many people here in this country and the world over always seems to get destroyed or challenged by few selfish ignoramuses.

If they lose then they lose. Thinking people were just going to sit back and let Tsai abuse his power is just hilarious to me.

He’s the man that signs the checks, he doesn’t have to let his business be drug through the mud. The players have never looked worse than they look right now.

They look just fine to me. He came out and said one thing indicating everything went great during his meeting with irving. Days later he made it seem like kyrie was ways away from coming back even though the 5 games passed already. People will find issue with it AS THEY SHOULD.

Yes he can get rid of kyrie down the road. KD eventually gone as well and as i said before good luck getting any top level free agent to ever want to play for your franchise again.

Good luck

Yeah, and the white guy who played for the Heat? Hasn't played since.

There seems to be a double standard here.

All because he made the mistake of letting a player control his team. Just another thing adding to what is coming.

Quality of player matters as proven with the kaep situation. Kyrie is a top 10 offensive player. Leonard was a role player. Had he been Jokic then he would have gotten the kyrie treatment

I honestly wish the racial stuff would go away, it’s not productive. And to be honest I have no use for anyone that can’t be fair no matter the circumstances. The players look horrible here.

Double standard, I stand by what I said.

I mean, conduct detrimental to the team is kind of a catch all.

The NBA is about to force their 2nd white owner to give up his franchise for saying, and doing, some unsavory shit.

We don't know what Tsai and Kyrie discussed after their 1st meeting.

But, whatever it was, Kyrie's continued insistence to carry on must have violated that.

None of us was in the room where it happened, shout out to Hamilton, so I'm just guessing.

But, let's not act like Kyrie has been a model fucking employee before the bigotry happened.

For the record, I believe he should be able to play.

But, I also believe he's a bigoted clown who deserved every day of his suspension.

A ban for the rest of the Season?

No.

...and I'd say the same if he was white.

Leonard said nothing crazy but he wasn't a good player. Was going to be out of the league sooner rather than later without even if he didn't say that.

And in the old days, you know when we really needed unions, the union would go out of their way to insure equal treatment for ALL. That was the reason unions were created. The union starts losing its power when it forgets that basic fundamental.

There is a double standard.

But, it's not racial.

One is a asset, one is a scrub.

* See Watson, Pacman Jones etc

If anything, this is closer to Kyle Larson Nascar.

Difference between leonard and irving as well is the league suspended him....not the team

Like i said had Tsai suspended him 5 games and not have that ridiculous list of things needed then all is well

Something or Nothing crazy?

Because, that shit is the N Word equivalent.
