I hope Kyrie gets traded to Houston for Harden. It would be so hilarious!

These owners need to be saved from themselves .
First they mortgage the future and then panic as he only signed a 2 year deal, and became afraid he'd leave for nothing, now compounding the error by backing up fort knox.

Paul George is now even more overpaid than he is overrated

Let the man be. We're all better for it. The NBA should be fined for this.

Re: Around the NBA (Non-Celtics) 2020-21, Part 1
the one thing that would set the world right, completely.  I totally believe that if it happened, the pandemic would dissappear, everyone would get a pay raise at work, nobody would be treated differently because the color of their skin.  That one thing.  If Kyrie would leave the Celtics being a dick, because he wanted to play in his home town, and play with his best buddy KD, and to finally get that after taking less money and signing a long contract, to then be traded with Dimwitty to the Rockets for Harden to play for a huge Trump supporting owner and John Wall.

"Committed to staying in California through the prime of his career"? The end of his prime was already going to happen sometime during his previous contract. He's already on the wrong side of 30, and will be 35 at the end of the new one.
Well done, Clippers. He needed motivation to not disappoint again, and you guys delivered.

He'd be steaming.
 
  
Good assessment:

Re: Around the NBA (Non-Celtics) 2020-21, Part 1
You’ve got Durant for 2, maybe 3 more years. I’m not sure why you’d risk the last few years of his prime hoping and praying that Kyrie lasts a full season. Harden has a skill that Kyrie will never be able to match - availability.  If you can get Harden for Kyrie and Levert, you’d be left with a lineup of Dinwiddie/Harden/Durant/Harris/Allen. That’s pretty good.

It's been all fun and games **** on Kyrie's antics since he left here, but honestly, calling working people "pawns" is super insulting

He really has such a hollier than thou complex. Such an idiot, pawns? its just basketball. Sports journalists are humans trying to provide for their families at the end of the day. If he really cared about people he would let them do their simple day to day jobs. He thinks hes better than everyone else.
The only thing he cares about is himself, and pretends to care about others. Selfish prick.
