Kyrie Irving Megathread: [Latest] NETS Will Not Offer Irving $186M Extension

[Fo-Real]

I hope Irving retires.

He won’t need to retire. There’s no way any team, including the Nets is giving him a long term contract when he’s a free agent. You’d have to be absolutely stupid to.

You overestimate the short memory and stupidity of an owner and gm who want to win.

Natural immunity seems to be a plenty good reason not to get vaxxed seeing as how it's always been a part of herd immunity. You don't think 1% of the non-vaxxed have natural immunity?

IT is not because you can repeatedly catch it and it is not as effective and catching it and taking the vaccine.

You can repeatedly catch it while vaccinated, and there is plenty of data to suggest it's at least as effective, if not more effective. Even if it wasn't, when does that number become acceptable? 50% as effective? 75%? 90%? 99%? Natural immunity has always been acceptable until COVID. Why isn't it now?

So your assuming everyone who didn't get vaccinated already caught covid now. Also since when was natural immunity always been acceptable?

You have to take shots before being able to attend schools for a reason. Such silly and poorly thought out arguments....

James Harden looks absolutely thrilled to be answering questions about Kyrie. He and the Nets have 8 more months of this left. Lol

Can all of you guys just stop having the same discussion in 20+ different threads already? Not only it's annoying beyond belief and you're definitely not changing anyone's opinion but you have also the thread opened and stickied for this exact discussion.

If he was playing in half of their games, it would be a lot worse. Partly why the Nets execs made that decision I'm sure.

Honestly its pretty on topic considering its a thread about Kyrie and his anti-vax views but yea not gonna bother arguing with anti-vax people anymore.

The mods already said multiple times it's off topic and as you just said, no point in wasting your time.

Spoiler:

If every one on earth caught covid over 99% would survive. It's never been about your health. It's been about control and compliance to give up freedom the whole time. Even with propaganda smaking people in the face lots still want to be controlled and live in fear.

Warning for derailing. This is not the place to air your personal political grievances and frustrations. It's been spelled out by multiple moderators multiple times. Next infraction will result in a strike and possible suspension.

Please do not respond to this, everyone. We are discussing the impact of the Kyrie story on NBA basketball. -B

Feel bad for KD. He could have gone to any team or just stayed in Golden State.

He really went ahead and tied his legacy to this clown.

I don't. He made it about playing with his best friends. Now he's learning that's not always the best career decision.

FWIW, I don't think KD joining the Nets was about playing with his best friends, rather he went there because they were best placed to offer him a pathway to winning in way that would be respected... and regain what his legacy lost from joining GSW, if that makes sense.

Pretty sure he went on the record and said playing with his best friends (Kyrie/DAJ) factored into his decision.

That would mean 78 million people would die worldwide.

78 million people would die as the poster above me stated. What about the people who are sick that don’t die. Who would care for them in the hospital. Already you have hospitals overwhelmed and crowded with shortages of drs and nurses. What happens then? This has to be one of dumbest and short sighted posts in a long time.

What you’ve just posted is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Is he still getting paid though? If the Nets decide to not pay him for every missed game, I think he would re-consider.

I'm thinking he won't get paid. Nets being a private enterprise can decide to implement a vaccine mandate and no pay you if you won't follow the mandate. So they may end up docking pay at least for the games he would have missed due to not taking the vaccine.

[Sprewell4Three]

I think Kyrie will retire any day now.

Wow that's a lot of money he's turning away from. I know that if my job mandated the vax then I'd have no choice. But props to Kyrie for standing up to what he believes in.
