Point is Kyrie is selfish prick that we've been warned about. I got banned in multiple places defending him. Now I look dumb af.

Why would KD leave Steph to play with DLo and Dinwiddie?


1- never said KD would come here to play with D. LO and Din

2- I'm not going to question Marks. That man made me look silly on way more than one occasion.

3- name teams that KD or Kyrie were willing to join beside BK.


Theres no way in **** we would ever get KD or any other top player without Kyrie.

I have given him plenty of ****. But hes the reason KD came.

We have never attracted any type of FA. Nobody even thought of coming here.

Its only cause Kyrie loved the Nets like we do and grew up rooting for them.

Kyrie's replacement is a phone call away. There is no one swinging a bigger stick right now than Durant. He knows what his body can take and if he's getting run down and decides it's time for help something will get done. I bet he's putting pressure on Kyrie as we speak.

Not true. The KD ties have been there forever. It's been reported that Marks an company thought they had a shot when he went to GSW. There's a reason we hired friends of Kevin early on in Marks tenure. KD had a plan to get here eventually. He picks his companion, not the other way around. The narrative that Kyrie steered KD here, because Kyrie grew up a Nets fan is propagated by the Dolan spin artists in the media trying to save face by saying the best player in the world wanted them, but gave in to his unconventional little buddy.

Oh please. As if Marks had any effect on KD coming here.

He was gonna go to the Knicks. Everyone knows that and reported it months prior.

Kyrie convinced him to come here. Its been confirmed and reported several times.

Yea i mean where heard about brett yormark and Jay-z and yada yada and he signed with GSW and didnt even take meeting with us. He was gonna follow Kyrie. If it wasnt here somewhere else.

Before Kyrie signed we were LOSING OUT on free agents the likes of KEN F&CKING BAZEMORE.

Bazemore, Tyler Johnson, Trevor Booker, Ed Davis, Otto Porter... and the prize jewel Allen Crabbe!

this was the type of FA we were competing for.

Not top 10 superstars. Every impact player prior to Kyrie who was all-star level was either drafted or traded for.

He has flat out said he isnt pushing pressure on him. they talk. their "brothers". this is direct from KD's mouth

I also doubt the guy who said "i'd love to play 48 minutes every night, i hate sitting" is pressure marks trade his best friend so he can play less minutes

Exhilarating win. Despite the Raps being on the back-end of a B2B, we were just too ridiculously shorthanded to waltz with a W out of this.

Who knew that freezing the rooks and Blake beforehand would've resulted in the team having barely just enough bodies -- and productive ones at that -- to put on the floor and come out with a road win? Certainly not Nash, 'cause if not for the CoViD protocols, they'd all still be waving towels and slapping high fives from the bench.

Props to the rooks for staying ready and not succumbing to the pressure of extended PT. Surprisingly, Cam seemed to be the unsettled one, having been accustomed to being surrounded by vets on the floor.

Still, winning with this lineup on the road might not be a sustainable situation, what with KD's ankle (and the rest of his body) needing some downtime for rest & recovery. Here's hoping the league takes a 2-week break to arrest the further spread of the virus within & amongst the teams.

KD needs to put his foot down. Get the shot or ship his ass out. Even John Wall would help us more than Kyrie right now.

It's nothing personal, just basketball.

Cap space created by Marks suggests otherwise to anything you HB claiming.

That year media drove huge agenda for duh nix but nothing was backed up or had relevance to it.

There was a dude on ND that predicted KD and Kyrie were coming the Nets. Said he had inside info who he wouldn't reveal ( them guys over there would tell you two ).


For all we know is that BK was one the most attractive destinations for top players. Assets that we had proved to be major difference. That's a fact. Go check what Dudley been talking about.

Cap space? :lol:

Remember when we cleared cap space for LeBron James and got stuck with Travis Outlaw?

You seriously think Kevin Durant came here for Sean Marks? He doesn't give a ****.

He wanted to be in NYC. EVERYONE was saying he was going to the Knicks. Its clear from all the reporting that Kyrie was the one who wanted to go Nets.

Nobody thinks KD came for Marks. He came because he wanted to build something fresh in Brooklyn.

It's his agenda at stake now, wasting your time trying to make him admit it. He already knows.

You guys want to deny the reality that everyone has reported that Kyrie was the one who convinced KD to come here because he wanted to play for his childhood team.

You just don't want to believe because youre mad at Kyrie for not playing.

I am to. But thats the truth of the situation. No Kyrie, no KD. And no Harden either.

Yall are in here arguing about Bullsh*t

KD signed an extension. He wants to be here.

Until Kyrie starts acting like an adult, he is irrelevant
