He’s not sitting out an entire season. It’s been well documented that the man just loves to hoop, so why would KD in essence cut off his nose to spite his face by basically pout sitting for 82+ games? Makes no sense. It’s not gonna happen lmao

It all depends on how much he despises kyrie Irving and the nets organization for allowing him to ruin the team last season. .this nonsense is all about kyrie the home and team wrecker ,just ask James harden and Kevin Durant.

I’m convinced KD don’t give af. No player can be that oblivious about how folks would react to convince me that he cares about what the media or general public thinks.

Stephen A. Smith, I don’t know if Mr. Durant (Kevin) will show up for the Brooklyn Nets 2022 training camp, but what we all know for sure You, Shannon Sharpe and other black men in sports journalism have illegal involvement with NBA owners business! C’mon stop it Stephen A. Smith, Joseph Tsai did a legal financial transaction with Mr. Durant (Kevin) name and basketball performance only in 2019, while Mr. Durant (Kevin) underwent surgery and rehabilitation, which increased the Brooklyn Nets Organization revenue and investments by a huge percentage, and such business decision by Joseph Tsai and Mr. Durant (Kevin) team helped increased their revenues. Stephen A. Smith, you have too apologize to Mr. Durant (Kevin) and the viewers because such lies and confusion is harmful.

IF Durant was 24 he might sit a season. They never mentioned his age. Dude is at the final stages of his prime. He can’t waste these last precious years. Like Rodgers, this is his last real chance to make something happen and expand his already extensive resume. I think Brooklyn fires Nash, keeps Marks and KD comes back for the season. Hire D’Antoni and let’s move on.

I think KD hates being lied by some dishonest people. Something screamed to me that the coach and boards are saying something to him but doing another.

Why some sport heads still saying KD the best player on the world? Maybe most skilled player, just maybe but his attitude towards his teammates, other than Kyrie, has ruined the teams he has been in. A question for Stephen A. Is Kyrie the best player of the world just based on his skills? I never hear you say that because you know he is very selfish and unreliable. Kyrie thinks he is smartest more talented player and ignores the value of team work. That is why he thinks a player like him and KD do not need a coach. KD has no leadership but knows he has leverage. He has let Kyrie do his dirty work but there is no difference between KD and Kyrie. Just for this reason KD won’t get another ring until he values his team including coaching team and support staff. Totally different to Steph Curry who elevates everyone around him, often times sacrificing his game to let others shine, something he did even with KD but KD never even understood that. Often times people do not recognize Curry being one of the top 10, only because he is not the typical dominant player. Well he doesn’t need to be that in order to dominate the game and at the same time elevate his teammates. Just ask the coaches having to plan to contain Curry or plan to contain KD. Stop elevating the selfishness of KD and start looking at all around great players. Also stop comparing Curry to dominant players and analyze his greatness from a different angle. Nobody can deny his impact on the game and his teammates.

I want you guys to debate
Will Kyri be part of the 100 best players all time if he continues to be a drama queen and not compete for finals team?
