2022 NBA Offseason thread

Last update was KD would stay if Tsai sold the team

 

[fightinfunbags]

Not as players. But you did try to compare KD & RW III's injuries. Last I checked KD now has legit injury issues that have spanned multiple seasons. RW III. I don't think one injury can make a player injury prone.

32, 29, 52, 61 games. I know in the first two years he didn’t get much time because he was a late round pick and a project. But two years as a contributor and he played 52 and 61 because of injury. Plus he’s a Big Man. Injury history for Big Men is much more troubling than that of a wing. Injury risk here is comparable. It may not be 50/50 but it’s damn close. And the upside of what both players can bring when it comes to competing for a championship is night and day different.

But we’re good. You’re claiming you aren’t pigeon holing me into an argument I haven’t made and I’ll take you at your word:

KD joined the Kyrie cult. No going back now

 

[DJ Fieri]

Dude...wtf?

Does he not know that meaning of that statement ?

Suuuuuuuuper Gay.

Yep.....LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I recognize his age. KD with load management for say 56 games and playoffs is much more valuable in my eyes than some role players for 78 games a year. Shit, how many games did RW III miss last year. KD is one of the best players in the league. Even at 32 with the wear and tear he’s a unicorn.

He's 34.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Phil would've smoked up Kyrie and got him vaccinated in a haze.

LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Technically, I said two of three on the non-Brown players not all 3. I think that’s what’s needed to get Boston to the level of championship contender. The only guy I would try and keep is RWIII because of Horford’s age.

Also, why do you do this? Did you honestly think my invocation of RWIII was to try and compare him to KD? Be real. It was clear when you called out KD’s age and wear and tear I was pointing out RWIII’s injury history which is actually a thing. Did you honestly think I was doing a head to head player comparison on that? That’s a retarded assumption. RWIII is a pimple on KD’s ass cheek. There’s no way any casual fan of basketball would even attempt that head to head comparison. I was clearly pointing out that he has an injury history too.

The Celtics need to try to get the Nets to take Brown, White, G Williams, and a few picks.....with a pick swap or 2. Brown is the centerpiece obviously.

Smart and Robert Williams mean too much to Boston's defense.

 

[DJ Fieri]

That works both ways. If he isn't good enough to be making demands, he isn't good enough to bring back the loot level the Nets are asking for either. This would resolve itself quickly if they eased up even just a little on those demands.

I think the Nets will now.

Petulant children tend to not like to be told no

 

[trojanfan12]

Seems to me like he is forcing his way to Miami

They've been awfully quiet and Riley is a sneaky bastard.

Wouldn't surprise me even a little bit if he ends up there.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Bam can't be dealt for him since Simmons is on the team.....Seems like Boston can offer the better deal.

Did you check out the comments? Lmao

Kyrie's simply 100% me-first, all about himself. He'll never be happy. And he'll never change.

He like Cleveland then didn't and wanted out.

He liked Boston then didn't and wanted out.

He liked Brooklyn and now has yet another issue with another team.


Since he joined the Nets three seasons ago.

2019-20: plays only 20 of 63 games (think a legit injury was involved with that, not his fault)

2020-21: plays only 54 games. He needed some me time to clear his head. So he went out clubbing breaking league virus protocol & missed more games

2021-22: more selfishness from him as he missed 53 games because he's an anti-vaxxer

But somehow in his goofy flat Earth world him being a bad teammate and a pain in the ass for the organization isn't on him.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

KD is the least alpha top 20ish player in nba history

... Smart and Robert Williams mean too much to Boston's defense.

I agree with you overall... and more specifically to RWIII, if the C's traded him they'd be left with old man Horford and scrubs at the 5-spot.

That would he untenable... therefore, not gonna happen.

Yeah....it is easy to say do whatever to get it done but you need guys like Smart and RW. And they mean so much to that defense.

Dwight's available, problem solved!

The only conclusion I can come to on Durant is that he has no idea what he really wants.

KD is the emo guy with black nail polish and a duster at the Dennys from 1A- 4A ordering only a bottomless cup of coffee of the NBA.

Good thing Knicks are keeping things quiet this off season
