Danny's also banking on Lebron having anither crap year and missing a ton of games due to injury, so Davis won't want to join the hobbled 36 year old next offseason. Quite frankly, I have no idea why he's so dead set on joining Lebron even now. Perhaps Paul's long time friendship with Lebron is clouding their judgement in them seeing that Father Time will end Lebron (he already started to this past season).


Yeah, what if our team’s more competetive than this year’s and LA has another **** year. I dont see NY or BKN having it better than us either, certainly not since KD’s injury and I’m not afraid Kyrie is gonna be their x-factor either. If KL is staying we might just be in a fight together with TOR, MIL and PHI for the Eastern Conference. What other team will certainly trump that situation?

Yes, the boos once the Nets come to town will be off the charts.

Bad move by Danny... Wasted a #8 pick, and the 2018-2019 season on Kyrie.


Eh not really, people need to look at the whole deal of that.... we got out of paying IT any sort of long term money which would’ve crippled this franchise 100x worse than Haywards injury has.

Kyrie was fine last year.... he gave all indications that he wanted to stay so of course we thought “Great we can do AD, Kyrie, Hayward, Horford and vets” that’s a championship team right there.

I guess where the fault lies is the fact Kyrie is one weird dude and flips and changes his mind more than anyone else in the league.

It sucks. Like.... REALLY sucks. But it’s happened and now we need to pivot and work out our best way to Banner 18 again.


But IT was pretty much damaged goods when dealt, so not seeing why they would pay him big money??

Hopefully Ainge stays away from really weird dudes in the future.

Biggest fail’s on the man himself. By far.

‪A year later he is going to be unhappy with the nets and wants out. Sometimes it is you that needs to work on yourself. We all do.‬

Anybody in their right mind would trade Sexton for 2 years of Irving. No offense to Sexton, he's a pretty decent prospect. Irving is still somewhat elite tho.


He's Carmelo elite. Seems you basically have to cater to this guy's weird moods and he'll never get you a title, unless he has a top 5 all time great, like LeBron, leading the way...

Griffin is not an idiot. Kuzma is not the holdup. There is no holdup. That pile of assets from the Lakers is a big pile of poop.

One failed season and you are ready to quit. Nothing in life is easy, is perfect. New york is the last place you want to go. The pressure there would be too much.

Maybe Kyrie is transitioning into a new career in entertainment like big bro Lebron. Something tells me Kyrie could be an elite level mumble rapper

Another thing. Due to some weird NBA rule, Boston couldn't even trade for AD cause they had Kyrie..

Its now been a month or something since Kyrie had the chance to say, dear fans I promised gold but I just sucked in that Milwaukee series. He just hasnt said sh*t and that says enough about his attitude and character. Nevermind he’s a bigtime baller but his off court antics just suck, not even slightly leader-ish. Not taking his responsabilities to the fans either.

He may feel it a little next season but that will be it. Fully expect KD and Irving to both sign with the nets.

Everyone had a bad season. Even the media and fans. Is that the reason you want to leave. People are free to change their mind, but damn. He is free to live anywhere he wants to. Like any human being. If it is true that he wants to leave, so be it.

Yep, roll the dice. AD's top 5 in the game, unlike the guy leaving for BKN.

Nah it's not he gave up nothing for a shot at a superstar. Unfortunately that superstar is a gigantic douche nozzle.
