Just saw a pi. Of Kyrie at another Seton hall game.

Question, has he been at a Nets game at all?

In fairness, He Who Shall Not Be Named cannot come to our games, that's part of the mandate. Seton Hall is not in the state, so it is not subject to the mandate.

Of course! Thx u...

Alright y'all, fire up the Kyrie trade machine!

I'm just about ready for this saga to be over. The mandates aren't going to change(especially with new variants that has already started popping up) and he's convinced himself he is pulling a modern day Ali. Get what we can for him.

Anyway we can get Myles Turner from the Pacers?

[NetsWorld]

Word on the street now is Kyrie posted another "cryptic" message and KD liked it. If KD liked it, maybe it's basketball related with him knowing Kyrie will eventually be back. Just a thought; it was posted on Twitter.

The headline doesnt match the context of the video...

There is no news. Shames references what he said in october, that the nets are taking calls, not making them, but with little interest. He speculates that something would need to give the mandate or a trade, but that isnt some insider news he got where kyrie or the nets said he wont play for the nets this year.

the most interesting news was that shams called the city on the mandate.

this isnt news, its talking about things from a month ago

Myles turner is not good. i wouldn't take him for carter let alone Kyrie.

Our best bet is to hope Kyrie plays. even if its like 0.1%. no one we would get for him moves the needle, and its more likely the team who gets kyrie gets closer to contention then we do.

just letting kyrie play road playoff games has more value then anything we could get.

unless someone is offering a top 15 player, its not close to beneficial for us.

it wasnt cryptic. he has been posting native american and black art. he has always done that. KD liking it isnt news. as KD says himself, "you scrolling through the app man, we arent making world decisions, its twitter bro"

I would love for Kyrie to return, but it's looking less and less probable as time passes.

Marks is a savage, so I fully expect him to flip him for the best deal available.

We need competent bigs to help elevate Harden's PnR, and to help us rebound/protect the rim against elite teams.

Blake and Milsap are just not good enough defensively to play the 5. (Old, slow and small).

Claxton is a huge question mark considering his health/injuries and can't be relied on.

Aldridge has been huge so far this season, but he suffers defending PnR vs. elite teams(Suns, Warriors, etc abused him.)

[Hello Brooklyn]

You guys are **** nuts if you think Kyrie will go play for another team.

He wants to be home with his family. He even took time off randomly last year to be with them.

You think hes just going to up and move to Indiana or Orlando?

Kyrie will just retire. And teams know this. Nobody is going to trade for a guy that might just retire.

Our best bet is to just wait it out. Maybe Kyrie comes to his senses by the playoffs. If not maybe we can just resign him next year.

The mandates will not last forever. Eventually Kyrie will be able to play again. A year off isn't the end of his career.

I dont think anything has changed. we knew a month ago it was going to take a mandate change and that cant even happen until adams takes office on Jan 1. and even then it would likely not happen quick if it did happen.

It doesnt make sense to trade kyrie now. there is 0 benefit to it.

If you deal him, its closer to the deadline when you know what you need. example Joe Harris just went down. luckily we have mills but if we didnt have patty and traded kyrie for a big and then lost harris we'd be like "damn, we could have traded kyrie for a harris replacement"

We are 15-6, best start ever. wait until the deadline to see what you can get. 2 benefits, 1 better idea on the mandate and 2 better idea on realtime needs.

Then, also, anything we get for kyrie is likely to minimally move the needle. having Kyrie for just road finals games would likely trump anything we would get from say, myles turner

This...

like i said in the other thread. it was not long ago we were upset because we couldnt land Kent Bazemore and Tyler Johnson in free agency. The ability to have and add players like Kyrie comes like once every 15-20 years. you dont deal that for junk or ancillary players. if someone gives a top 15 guy consider it, sure. but thats not reality.

Kyrie is now walking back his stance on being a voice for anti vaxxers, still doesn't want to take the vaccine due to fears of "long term side effects", and is possibly open to taking a plant based vaccine that is currently undergoing trials in Japan, and may be presented to the FDA for approval in March.

Keep in mind, there are no animal based products in either moderna, pfizer, or J and J's vaccine, so Kyrie's reasoning here is half baked. He's also clearly not "doing his research" if he's still caught up on side effect fears after billions of doses world wide have been successfully and safely administered.

Also, he clearly doesn't know anyone who is suffering from long term issues from catching covid, or who may have died for that matter, if he's more concerned about what the vaccine would do to him...besides protect him and the people around him, or course.

Dude is an idiot. I guarantee you if he gets sick to the point where he is going to have to go to the ER, he will gladly take whatever they give him if it comes down to dying or not....like pretty much every antivaxxer that ends up hospitalized.

I'm glad he's happy though. He should f*cking retire.

I'm on the same page as you, although with vegans who are all organic and use only holistic treatments, i give a bit more room because those people actually do care about where the stuff comes from that they ingest. unlikle the trumpster moron who doenst want the vaccine but then treats himself with horse medicine and is eating prcessed fast food 7 days a week and smoking malboro reds.

I'm also skeptical about what he really beleives based on the media. Kyrie doesnt speak through conduits, who goes live on IG. I dont doubt that it was always about the vaccine with him, but im also not taking anything but 1st hand, given how the media has it out or him.

This is a dude with native american roots who believes strongly that what you put in your body should come from the earth. its probably hippie nonsense, but i mean, its also a big part of alot of native american culture. he has followed every rule, sacraficed his salary, ,maybe his career. all so that he can wait for something he feels more comfortably is made up of stuff he is ok with?

He isnt out here posting right wing nonsense. he said its my choice and ill keep it at that.

i dont really see the issue. i get the fan frustration cause it hurts our chances. i dont see any issue with what kyrie is doing or has done.

Here you go again, Prok, acting like my burner account. In other words, I agree 100%.

I'm still worried that HWSNBN's stance will be co-opted by right-wing extremists that he does not represent (and definitely do not represent him). But I can at least acknowledge, his approach has been consistent.

And yes, I'm pretty frustrated from a pure fan perspective, as well as a public health perspective. I feel like from whom much is given, much is expected. He is behaving irrationally with his platform, for millions of people who do not have his privilege of financial independence, and are putting themselves in harm's way by following his lead. Ultimately, their decision is their responsibility, but it behooves a famous, influential person to make choices on behalf on not only themselves, but their constituency.

You don't have to respect his views, but you should respect his integrity by now.

So you guys still believe this is about politics, huh?

Have you ever heard of THE BIG CLUB?

No? Not surprising, cause Democrat or Republican, you ain't in it.

Alot of positivity from Nets teammates in todays media availability regarding Kyrie. It clear his teammates never were upset with him and are hyped to have him back.

Claxton: "He’s going to break the game for us and make things easier for everyone on the court. I’m ready to get my brother back.”

Bembry: "“I know he’s in good spirits,” Bembry said. “He was always attached to the group chat, so he’s always been connected with the team. Somehow, some way, he always checks in"

Harris: "We were always with Ky whether it was basketball or life. Its great to have him back on the floor but off the court its like [kyrie] is always there"

Nash things 1-2 weeks once he clears protocol, which should be Wednesday. 2 weeks from then would be January 12th. if he was back 3 days prior he could play @ spurs. i think they would probably give him some minutes there, or else its another week to the next road game.

Mods will probably delete this comment because they are simpletons from NY that can't deal with getting their emotions challenged but I called this over the summer. All of the BS Kyrie unearthed for his low IQ agenda was all about slacking so he can get paid a full season to only play half a season. Kyrie knows he can't play a full season w/o getting injured and the sheep just couldn't handle it and even protested at the arena for this rich lazy bum. I bet he will even get vaxxed for the playoffs.

Congrats, BK. Enjoy your flat Earthed hero.

None of your speculation has any teeth.

1) Kyrie was in training camp ready to play home and away games. it was a few days before preseason that the NY mandate came out. Unless you think Kyrie worked his influence to get NYC to put in a mandate so that he wouldnt have to play home games, then it makes no sense this was premediated.

2) Again, he was in practice, ready to play road games only, when the Nets prohibited him from doing so. it was the nets in fact, not kyrie that changed so he could come back

this theory is just way off. the bottom line is he has conviction in his beliefs and choices. he doesnt believe the vaccine is right for him, so he didnt get it, and was willing to accept the consequences. the idea he didnt want to play a full season is nonsense. maybe he would have gotten hurt, that wasnt going to be a deterrent.

this sounds like sour grapes.
