Jalen Rose said KD having surgery in NY could mean he plans to rehab in the area.

He has business offices there but also if one or both NY area teams offer him the max, that may be where he signs.

So the Kyrie and KD union may still happen.

That #8 pick could have landed SGA. I'd sure take him over Scary Terry right now...

Don’t care for Kyrie (everyone knows this by now) but that trade by Ainge to get Kyrie was definitely one of his best deals. No question.

That’s ridiculous. Too convoluted. To want whatever the No. 8 pick was going to beat.

So you know what you do? Trade those guys. Get Davis. And fire Brad's ass.

But you omit last year, when they played as a team guys were out there for each other. Kyrie wasn’t complaining about Brad then. In fact, he said that he wouldn’t play for any other coach.

His idea that he was the leader started his maverick attitude and holier-than-thou ideals
No. What started it was inability to deal with the fact that

1. He was a bit bitter about their success without him
2. That he was frustrated with the entitled play of the young guys, and Brad for not being able to get them in line.


THEN he used his "role" as the "leader" to try to intervene (LeBron Style) and justify his frustrations.

Kyrie wasn't the initial problem. He just couldn't handle it and exasperated the issues.

This all is a result of Kyrie's lack of self awareness and emotional intelligence, which of course results in this reaction formed pseudospirtual intellectual persona he currently wears. I've said this before, but he acts a lot like someone who's been predisposed for substance induced psychosis (weed CAN do that; as a social worker, I've seen similar patterns)

Not saying he will be.. I don't think he will. But my point is that the dude is all over the place, he's super flighty, and really needs to get his stuff together and his mind right. Because I don't think he's 100% "right" maybe 88%

So Kyrie is missing a few screws and makes bad situations worse because of it. And this is the guy that you suggest trading everyone away and firing the head coach to appease?

Can you not see how someone unstable like that isn't necessarily the best person to try and build your franchise around? Kyrie is the type who's off court issues have on court implications as we saw this year. This is why lesser players like IT and Rozier can take the team just as far in the playoffs in his place.

Reload stated Al didnt like Kyrie so he most likely sticks around now and we trade for another vet guard.
