LOL at Kyrie sitting out the year

So basically he's going to be paying James Harden's salary for the year

someone said they might be able to invalidate the contract. but i think with deandre, harris, durant & harden's deal it doesn't open up any cap space anyway.

Yeah and idk what team that would trade for Kyrie right now, not knowing if he’ll show up. Maybe Nets go for bodies on big contracts? Kyrie for Cole Anthony or Fournier and Aaron Gordon. If Kyrie doesn’t show up, they take the L & at least clear cap. Something like that maybe.

A healthy and sane Kyrie would be nice for the Knicks....is there such a thing as one of those? Can teams make trades for players that only exist in an alternate universe?

i don't think it will be even that good. some small market team might take the chance that eventually he'll want his money and come back and play and give them some mediocre pieces in return now for depth. like if we gave them payton, noel & bullock. not that we will :lol:

basketball players are doing a horrible job. The NFL and MLB did a far better job managing this. The NFL has over 60 players on the there teams and never had these kind of outbreaks...wtf are the basketball players doing?

Y’all laugh but Kyrie is the type to ask to be picked up by the Knicks just to stick it to the Nets and KD.

BK was supposed to be his team and they just said FU.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if he sat out, he’s done it before but used injury as an excuse.

Did Harden sign his extension or just got straight up traded?

kd went to the nets for kyrie who went for, supposedly, the other players, the coach and the culture. and all that is gone now.

I don’t think it will yet. The NBA is monitoring how these players are going about their business outside the workplace. It’s sad that some of them are not taking this serious. Costing young players and rookies lots of money.

each day it's more players. and those players are in contact with other players. that's how viruses work, they grow exponentially. it's why they were thinking about a pause. that might have to do that at least. they're cancelling a couple games every night now.

WTF James Harden was traded to the Nets?

I heard there might be some trouble in Nets paradise, but when I'm not cheering for the Knicks, I'm usually cheering for the NETS.

Winning can cure a lot of problems, people. :nod:

Russ must be scared.

He has to join the Lakers to win his title.

It sucks that the only way to win these days is to join Lebron or try to put together a 92' Olympics superteam.
