Not that hard to see how he would have felt disrespected.

Tsai has made a number of public comments indicating that he doesn’t want Kyrie around around.

Not offering a full max was probably the last straw in Kyrie’s mind.

Kyrie done plenty wrong to deserve being unwanted, but if you look at things from Kyrie’s point of view (in which he is always right) it is very easy to see why he would feel disrespected.

You just aren’t seeing it because Kyrie has clearly been wrong on a number of things he has said and done.

But an irrational person will never be convinced of that.

Some of these newer owners say and do things that can hurt the franchise without thinking things through.

One of which is deciding to be a man at times.

Ugh, the timing of Lebron's record is flooding the Lakers news, making it hard to find rumors updates.

Celtics and Magic are discussing Mo Bamba. No details.

Celtics and Hornets are discussing Grant Williams for PJ Washington

Celtics will do something between now and tomorrow.

Outing disagreements in public is never a good look. Neither is taking a potentially lesser return in trade to spite the outgoing player. The new Suns owner looks prepared to step in it as soon as he can too.

I don't get the Williams move. The Hornets are unwilling to pay PJ, but will trade for Grant to pay him this summer? Weird.

In the end it’s his decision though. None of us are there, we don’t know anywhere close to everything I’m sure. It is what it is.

Both have expiring contracts and it doesn't appear that PJ will resign with Charlotte. Williams would probably sign an extension for the increased playing time and a salary bump. We never really know all of the stuff that's in any players' diapers.

Of course. Just need to keep in mind that any time you go there, you can potentially lose trust from other players as well. Handle that shit in house if at all possible.

Grant supposedly wants a bump to the $20M per neighborhood. Can't imagine that the Hornets would be interested, but who knows? Jordan's team rarely makes much sense.

I think Grant gets that and probably more

I think Irving was the one that leaked about everything.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I think that's kind of a harsh thing to say considering the bounty for him is directly from Turkey's president Erdogan for publicly speaking out against him.

But what he posted and the timing of it just completely outta line and classless.

I mean, speaking out against Lebron shouldn’t be punishable by death.

Speaking out on anything, actually.

Grant is getting more than that.

Dunno why he’d leave Portland if they are willing to pay up.

Wrong Grant.....Grant Williams.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I wonder if KD would want to return to OKC...they have the combo of a lot of picks and youngsters the Nets could be interested in. They could use a veteran.....they are really young.

I honestly can't remember how his tenure ended there....so forgive me in advance if it's not possible.

Got me too, ok now this really isn’t worth talking about lol.

He will get way more.

The Blazers already offered more.

He’s just waiting to get the longer, larger deal.


The Blazers offered Grant a four-year, $112 million extension, the maximum contract he can be offered at this point in time. However, if he enters unrestricted free agency this summer, that number jumps, according to Quick.

If Grant doesn’t accept the offer, he will become a free agent on July 1, when he will be eligible to offered as much as 5-years and $233 million by Portland. Other teams could offer him as much as 4 years and $174 million.

Left as a free agent, don't remember too much bad blood?

Ah….

You think he’s worth 20 mil?
