    Trying to figure out how Kyrie missing a few games but playing at optimum ability but you have max contract players coming into the season overweight, underperforming and sitting out due to rest. How is that not worst

    • Adel Abulkhirat

      Exactly, media buffoons just love shitin* on Kyrie and minimizing him

    Worst case is they finish last in the standings in the NBA

    Best case is they win the championship

    Literally best case, worst case.

      💯

    In the meantime, the nets should look for a big man ( maybe Ibaka ). Barring that they remain healthy and get a capable big man, I think the nets can win this year.

    • Jay Borough

      @Jayden Fedler thank you, I forgot to mention Poetl. A lot of teams want him and the Spurs know this. It should be interesting to see which teams can meet the spurs asking price for him

    • Jay Borough

      January 26, 2023 at 4:03 pm

      @Vikram Krishnan I don’t think many people can guard these guys one on one 😅. Truthfully, I’d prefer Ibaka as the backup Center over Simmons because he can knock down jump shots and still provide rim protection

    • Vikram Krishnan

      January 26, 2023 at 5:00 pm

      @Jay Borough I would prefer a ham sandwich over Ben Simmons. Not sure why the Nets let Drummond go, he is not a bad backup center

      @Jonathan Oscategui Reid is more reasonable and won’t cost much trade wise. Ibaka too

    Just win

    SAS is Kyrie’s fan, but unfortunately he has to sell headlines 😢

    • swaraj thapa

      He is a fan of his talent but not his of the court antics which is reasonable

    • Deed!zel

      January 26, 2023 at 11:33 am

      @swaraj thapa of course it is for surface level programmed people

    Kyrie wants the extension with Brooklyn. He wants to stay in New York/New Jersey. Sign the contract…

  7. OsamaBinLadensSecondGirlfriend

    January 26, 2023 at 11:22 am

    TMill is one of the worst analysts this show has. Says a whole lot of nothing, but takes 500 words to do so.

    January 26, 2023 at 11:26 am

    Brooklyn will be stupid enough to trade Kyrie Irving

    • A C

      January 26, 2023 at 12:29 pm

      Not happening. He’s a free agent after this year. If he leaves, that would be how. They won’t trade him in the middle of contention

    • freeddawg

      January 26, 2023 at 7:42 pm

      Nets are definetly not trading Kyrie

  9. Vena J.

    January 26, 2023 at 11:29 am

    Am I missing something? Kyrie missed games either because of the whole not being vaccinated thing or because he was hurt. Was he not showing up for any other reasons?

    • Jay Borough

      January 26, 2023 at 4:06 pm

      They never provide the full context they ( mainly Stephen A Smith ) only quantify how many games Kyrie has missed. Outside of the nonsensical vax mandates, the bulk of games that he’s missed were due to injuries

    • reggie hopkins jr.

      January 26, 2023 at 7:31 pm

      @Stopitthathurts 1 week and a day. Everything else was injury

    • Wesley Miller

      January 26, 2023 at 9:47 pm

      Breaking Covid protocol, refusal to vaccinate, being too upset by Jan. 6 (I think), suspended for anti-semitism on social media. Probably more. Always something.

    • Kameron Davis

      All Kyrie haters just want the Nets to let him go smh

    sAS is so 🎓…this man demeaned Kyrie and now he’s worth the “headache”…

  11. Brayzen

    January 26, 2023 at 11:59 am

    Give Ky his money.

  12. Eatma Kock

    January 26, 2023 at 12:10 pm

    I swear sas refuses to give context to Kyries absences in the previous seasons, dude talks about black folk needing their opinion to get recognized only to criticize kyrie over VACCINES 💀

  13. escamunich A

    January 26, 2023 at 12:20 pm

    Kyrie is ballin right now but we all know it’s only a matter of time before he says something controversial again. I say get Nets needs to get rid of him while he’s still of value.

    • Kameron Davis

      January 26, 2023 at 5:15 pm

      Aint no “we all know”. Because it’s only “controversial “ when people make it controversial. He’s very black and white with his points

    • escamunich A

      January 26, 2023 at 11:07 pm

      @Kameron Davis It controversial enough that teams will suspend him and Nike ending its endorsement deal.

    • KillaKam94

      January 27, 2023 at 3:06 am

      @escamunich A he didn’t say a word when that happened actually

  14. Gus Web

    January 26, 2023 at 12:25 pm

    It’s crazy how they are talking about the Kyrie bag but not Ben Simmons who is stealing money from the nets and missed more games than Kyrie. Drymond green # are better than ben

    • TheMoneyDigger

      January 27, 2023 at 5:06 pm

      The other guy is not muslim

    • ga ma

      Yeah. Ben is garbage

    Brooklyn nets can Brooklyn nets make patty mills a coach instead of trading him

    Today is 3 year death anniversary of Kobe Bryant. It all started when Kobe passed away and kyrie left the arena without saying anything to anyone

  21. West Burns

    January 27, 2023 at 12:06 am

    Be careful brooklyn he told my celtics the same thing

  22. KST Ianit

    January 27, 2023 at 2:11 am

    We need Kuzma, trade Ben Simmons

  23. Curtis Freeman

    January 27, 2023 at 5:22 am

    And his track record is that as soon as he gets his new contract,
    KYRIE WILL DEFINITELY TAKE GAMES OFF,

  24. jean-claude van damn

    January 27, 2023 at 5:57 pm

    lord, trade for zion to pelis otherwise you lose him for nothing. it looks like they gonna trade.
