My 12yr old suggested that Pop could sign Kyrie with the idea of KD demanding a trade.Right, the cap space teams are Detroit, Orlando, Indiana and the Spurs. The Knicks are in the process of creating space.
The move is LeBron gets him a very lucrative role in Space Jam 3.also, the league would likely consider it a circumvention of the cap
As a member of the alien team who's on IR.The move is LeBron gets him a very lucrative role in Space Jam 3.
I agree with you in principle. I do think he probably wouldn't mind going to the Lakers if he didn't have to sacrifice $30M.This is a leverage play. Kyrie threw money away last year, but let's be real about what this whole situation is.
Kyrie/Nets can't come to a contract agreement. It's almost certainly because the team isn't willing to pay max to a guy like Kyrie Fucking Irving. Irving wants the max, wants to be co-GM, and is going to tell people to shove the vaccine up their ass.
So, because of that disrespect and lack of financial security...Kyrie is going to option out and go to a team for the $6M vet minumum? When in the next 24 hours do we hear the, "Kyrie may get vaccinated in the right situation!" rumors start to float?
This is bullshit agent spin, and it has been from the beginning. They wanted a max and weren't getting it.
"KD may request a trade if Kyrie isn't brought back!"
Sorry. Still no max offer on the table.
"Yeah? Fine! Kyries going to put out his trade destinations!"
We don't care. Go for it.
"Oh yeah!? Well then maybe Kyrie is going to ask to explore sign and trade options!"
Dude, we already looked. Nobody wants you. You're a fucking asshole. Go explore the market.
"...well...fine! Maybe we'll just opt out and go play for the vet minimum! What will you do then!? You wont get any assets back!!"
We'd rather have no assets than bad assets. We'll help you pack your bags.

Space Jam 2: Uncle Drew Boogaloo?Couldnt lebron sign him to an entertainment deal or something under one of his production deals to develop shows? That could carve into that 30 million lost
More like Uncle Drew 2: The Reverse...a movie where a grumpy old basketball star tries to pass himself off as a younger guy who yearns to be good and win championships. It'll probably be about as popular and relevant as Breakin' 2.Space Jam 2: Uncle Drew Boogaloo?
And even so he throws out the “normal people” nonsense. Puke.
My boss is one and while he hates Kyrie, he likes Durant and loves having a conceivable shot at a title. He's cautiously optimistic.I'm sure the Nets fan(s) is/are thrilled
GM contract up next and then focus on the rest of the roster...A11even
He's daring to be different by accepting $36M? If he truly wanted to be different he would've opted out.
Maybe he was talking about Enes Kanter?
How moveable is Kyrie’s contract? I do wonder at some point if they just don’t want him back.So much for my KD dream
Two plus eleven is an anagram for one plus twelve.Six, two and even > A11 even
We have as much idea about it as we do about A11.Two plus eleven is an anagram for one plus twelve.
That’s all I got.
edit: love the Joe Morgan reference, tho. What did that mean, again?
Imagine having your hopes hinge on both Kyrie and Simmons working out.My boss is one and while he hates Kyrie, he likes Durant and loves having a conceivable shot at a title. He's cautiously optimistic.
It's definitely arguable. What if Durant ended up on the Heat, for example? That would not be good for the Celtics.While it is arguably the best possible situation for the Nets (not committing to this jackhole) and the worst situation arguably for the Celtics (Nets will be formidable if the 3 of them are healthy), it is pretty fucking delicious that nobody wanted this asshole forcing him to to tuck tail and run home without a contract extension. His narcissistic brain not allowing him to just graciously announce it without some condescending, arrogant quip is just the *kiss* on top of it all.
I was catching up on the Lowe post and he and Marks basically said they don't think MIA would be in the conversation, too many other teams have better offersImagine having your hopes hinge on both Kyrie and Simmons working out.

Well, sure, I would just imagine this means that KD is running it back for one more year though.It's definitely arguable. What if Durant ended up on the Heat, for example? That would not be good for the Celtics.
I meant if Kyrie left. In that case Durant is probably gone as well. That's just one example outcome which would be worse than current state for the Celtics, since you said this is the worst.Well, sure, I would just imagine this means that KD is running it back for one more year though.
"Dare to Be Different" would be an improvement...This thread might need a new title.
6-2 at home and even (.500) on the road was his recipe for making the playoffs.edit: love the Joe Morgan reference, tho. What did that mean, again?
Yeah, this is Schefter-level water carrying when literally everyone knows these “multiple opt-in and trade scenarios” were bullshit and the Nets called Kyrie’s bluff.I am guessing Shams is talking about how he likes it when agents call him or answer his calls to feed him info.
I find it funny that this post could apply equally to Ben Simmons or to Kyrie (I know you meant the latter).So my biggest question now is: Is this guy still in the league in 2024?
My money is currently on no but I guess he could actually decide to just play basketball this season.
i don’t know exactly what it means, but I’m pretty sure it was what Dick Tracy said when he signed off from his radio watch. I think it was from the old DT radio show that Morgan listened to as a kid.Two plus eleven is an anagram for one plus twelve.
That’s all I got.

As far as I'm concerned Ben Simmons currently ISN'T in the league since he has not played basketball (or gotten a paycheck as far as I know) in over a year.I find it funny that this post could apply equally to Ben Simmons or to Kyrie (I know you meant the latter).

Jesus, that above paragraph may as well have been written in Sanskrit.
Apparently, it was a horse racing term used by bookies. A horse that was “six two and even” carried odds of 6-to-1 to Win, 2-to-1 to Place, and even money to Show. Six, two, and even.
I'm assuming asking to see Kobe's MVP trophies is a dig but I'm not sure the exact reference?
Basically that Kobe deserved the MVPs that Nash won in 2005 and 2006.I'm assuming asking to see Kobe's MVP trophies is a dig but I'm not sure the exact reference?
