Exactly!

At this point f his fragile personality, he’s a fn narcissist who truly thinks he is humoring us all by letting us live in his world.

 

[DJ Fieri]

That’s nice.

What’s your conference and head to head record with them and the teams ahead of you?

Not only do you have to catch teams in the standings….

You have to overcome head to head in some cases.

Even if they tie with you, you still lose.

* see Clippers 3-0 head to head.

Only 3 games behind the Clipps.

 

[DJ Fieri]

IGo put all your money on the Lakers title right now. You better hurry lol

 

[msgkings322]

Then they say no too.

Simple.

Better than making him a half assed offer.

And you are totally speculating.

Am I? Gee I should never do THAT here.

 

[msgkings322]

Everyone is within 3 games of everyone out West LOL

You get really triggered easily by these guys

Ummm, that has been reported.

His agent tried to pressure them into an extension now, they wanted to wait.

Kyrie wants it done now, so they gave him a offer.

What have you seen that states they half assed him?

All I have seen is no guarantee of the last year unless they win a chip.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Rob, don't let me down!!!!!

This might be the year I have a heart attack around the trade deadline.

I agree.

At the same time though, the Nets know this about him. They willingly signed him and took on all that came with him.

Now all they have to do is get through 1 more season with him.

And honestly?

If giving him a full max deal keeps him dialed in this season?

They should have done it.

Because teams like the Lakers would still want to trade for him next summer if the Nets want him gone.

He wouldn’t have much trade value on a 4’year max, but it wouldn’t be negative either. He is just too talented and too productive when he plays.

You call that triggered? Lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

Bulls have young pieces, a vet in Vuc and an injured Lonzo to offer

That is what I mean. No point in making the offer if it short of what he is asking for.

Exactly!

I can’t believe you guys are actually taking Kyrie’s word for what happened….lmfao

Link?

Heres mine…..


Haynes didn't provide any clarity on what, exactly, this "championship stipulation" entailed. Reports earlier in the day indicated that Irving wasn't happy with the final year of Brooklyn's proposed contract not being guaranteed. Might that final year become guaranteed if the Nets were to win a title between now and then?

Kyrie Irving insulted by Nets putting 'championship stipulation' in contract offer, per report

Irving, who has requested a trade, reportedly took the championship stipulation as a 'big insult'

Isn't speculating a good portion of what we do on here?

It would be dumb to take Kyrie’s side on anything. He is a narcassistic, egotostical maniac and pathological liar

well if you are going to have a heart attack anyway might as well throw caution to the wind and eat up. Oh, wait.

You said they half assed him.

Im asking what you are basing that on?

Why in GAWDS name would they offer him a guaranteed 4 years?


Why did they make the offer?

Because his agent asked them too…lol

He wants no stipulations…..ZERO.

Totally guaranteed…lmfao

Thoughts?

Report: Will Barton, Boston Celtics have mutual interest should Wizards wing be bought out

RW is expiring.

We can't trade for him in the offseason.
