2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

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

Here’s why they made an offer.

This shit is on Kyrie.

This was a week in the making.

“Around Kyrie and staying with the Nets? I have reached out to the Nets regarding this,” his agent Shetellia Irving told Bleacher Report. “We have had no significant conversations to date. The desire is to make Brooklyn home, with the right type of extension, which means the ball is in the Nets’ court to communicate now if their desire is the same.”

“The right type of extension” sounds like we’re back to talking about years. Brooklyn can offer Irving a four-year, $190+ million max extension (which would align with the extension Kevin Durant signed last summer). The Nets may not want to lock themselves into Irving for that long.

NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving reportedly requests trade from Brooklyn Nets ahead of deadline

A week after being named a starter in the 2023 NBA All-Star Game, mercurial Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving has requested a trade, preferably before next week's deadline, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Sorry @DJ Your dream is over lol

 

[thunderc]

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

You just don’t understand, I mean he did just go a full 2 months playing every game and hardly doing anything he really wanted to do. I mean it was almost as if he was a commoner with a job. If that’s not worth 4 years at max with no stipulations then f it.

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

I had a stent put in on Nov. 19th so that wouldn't happen. Then Wyk Grousbec tells Steven to "muscle up". "Just do it."

Brad is seriously looking for a big guy who can play 32 minutes at almost any price.

Is Durrant muscle?

Nets fans boo Kyrie Irving before game against Washington

Neil Dalal: Nets introduce their full roster on the Jumbotron before the teams took the court. Lots of boos when Kyrie Irving is shown.

That's been rumored. Stevens is keeping everything close. No one has been able to get even a hint.

SA and Boston were supposedly talking about Poeltl but nothing ever materialized. SA wanted Payton Pritchard and something else.

Someone who can bang with embiid

Or a really small ball 5

And a Gallo replacement

Pritchard is in play to some extent but not entirely. Center should be solved chesply

 

[msgkings322]

You call that triggered? Lol

It's your act. I'm a sarcastic troll, you're a triggered church lady.
