No I actually agree. I don’t know who will want to pay him

Well…. He just apologized in full. So sounds like he’ll be back

You mean his PR rep apologized in full.

And only because he was suspended.

media coverage is Kyrie's oxygen. I don't think he watched any of the movie but saw Kanye commented so he jumped on knowing it would draw attention. Mad Dog was right yesterday - Pop, Kerr, LBJ and a host of others love to lecture on everything, where have they been in this issue? This isn't the time to shut and play - this is the time to stand up and say. Silver, the NBAPA, the faces of the league and the NETS look awful here.

I don't know. There were so many typos in the apology I'm kinda led to believe he wrote it lol

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

KD back to the Warriors for Wiggins, Kuminga, and Wiseman.

I was thinking Green, a couple of guys, and picks. Make a run for 2 more rings.

Duke guys. SMH

Lot of people out there saying how Kyrie was bullied into apologizing and he should not have had to. Free speech etc and media pushing it (which it is, to an extent).

But what they don't seem to realize is the Nets employ Kyrie.

 

[MSOrange]

i came across some exclusive video of Steve Nash after the Nets fired him earlier this week.

 

[Cusefan0307]

If the Nets owner doesn't want Kyrie would any other team even trade for him at this point?

Such a weak defense.

There is a story out that Ben Simmons is on the trading block.

Tsai should just ship everyone out, get as many picks as he can, tank, and try to get Wemby or Scoot.

Apparently this was on Reddit, in regards to the Nets having 6 of the 7 deadly sins covered, lol.

Pride - Kyrie Sloth - Simmons Envy - Durant Lust - Udoka Greed - Tsai Wrath - New York fans

Last spring they traded Gluttony for Sloth

If you believe Bill Simmons, the Nets have been trying to trade him for weeks now but haven't found any team with interest.

I tend to agree but (1) I think they should just get rid of the GM first and (2) I gotta imagine it's hard to mentally get on board with another tear down after they did it, successfully built the team up into an exciting up-and-coming team, and then tore it all down to go all-in just to have it blow up spectacularly in their faces. Especially when they have one of the biggest stars in the league on their team.

Is it better for the NBA that the NY and LA teams struggle or that they are good? I kind of like to see the Milwaukee's, Miami's, even Boston do well. Definitely rooting for Cleveland this year.

IMO, its always good when boston, ny, la are good for sure. But the bigger picture is that superstars go far.

You need conference finals with star power. For instance, I think if the Pels go far and Zion is amazing, that will be a big draw. Luka, Giannis, Ja... and obviously the Stephs and Brons of the world have major sway over viewership.

Why would you want a guard who can't shoot?

Must be those special courses that Duke athletes take .

Kyrie is basically a 40% 3 point shooter the last 6 years at high volume.
Shooting is not his problem.
Being an idiot is.

I took the comment to be linked to Ben Simmons. Clearly Kyrie's issues are off the court.
