Irving, Harden, and Embiid is pretty scary trio.

Kyrie has the Nets by the balls. Pretty savvy move actually.

Stick around, play well, get the Nets moving up the standings.

And then... SQUEEZE!!!

New contract or I walk.

I love how adding Kyrie to the Clippers makes them win 3 less games and adding RW to the Nets makes them win 6 less games. Like are we serious here? lol

Kyrie will likely need a sign and trade or take less money than he can get on the open market.

The funny thing is the Nets knew this was the risk when they signed him, like they knew it would come to this eventually…it’s Kyrie. I don’t think they are sweating. They have been through this before

They can!! Easily. Lakers got squat!

....but will they?
Clippers would.

Dallas might be willing now as well.

Minny trying to rid themselves of DLo.

Shits not going great.

So, why not send him back to where he flourished?

All those teams have better players to offer than Westbrook.

FVV is another guy.

Doubt Raps want anything to do with Kyrie so that would have to be a 3 teamer.

But, like you said…..will they?

What a torturous asset! And yet someone will be dumb enough to take on cancer because he’s a talent.

Only a matter of time before KD publicly says fire the GM or trade me.

What a dysfunctional dumpster fire the Nets are. This is what KD gets for running away from a dynasty to team up with strip club James and flat earth Kyrie.

He actually doesn’t.

What would be the difference between letting him walk and letting Westbrook walk if they swapped them out?

Kyrie wants to get paid.

He can only do that in a sign and trade this summer.

Kyrie is also very likely to come up with some BS excuse to sit for the rest of the season in order to get what he wants.

….and he’s likely to not get paid for it.

That is the crux of his issue.

He lost a ton of money being a martyr last year.

He tried to bluff his way to a trade by suggesting he’d take a pay cut.

Didnt work because everyone knows it’s about the money.

If he sits out, he has left a nice little paper trail to lose his remaining salary.

He’s not doing that.

Well, it’s Kyrie….so you never kno.

But, I doubt it.

Yeah...too bad I missed it. I was out celebrating a friend's 50th bday with some other buds...dinner, drinks...yada yada.
I did catch some of the highlights a bit ago. Sounds like you went?
Close game...but can't believe they won at home seeing how subpar they've been there..and even w/o Brunson too? Damn!
Agreed....there's really no place like MSG...while Barclay's is just a place for the frontrunner fans of that team.

Maybe opposing teams are more inspired by playing at the "Mecca", but it's old hat for the Knicks.

Weird to use "Mecca" in that way on this forum, lol.
