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

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.

@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

@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

@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

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

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

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

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

Brooklyn will be stupid enough to trade Kyrie Irving

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

Nets are definetly not trading Kyrie

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

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

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.

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 💀

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

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

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

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

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