There will be no lockout. Lockouts are about money and this situation is a drop in the bucket for the owners. They don't want to rock the boat on the current CBA.

History will tell a tale of how KD tied his wagon to the wrong horse.

I'm pretty sure at this point Kyrie just doesn't enjoy being a basketball player but loves the money.

He takes every opportunity he can not to play. Whether it be the bubble, the vaccine debacle or any bump or bruise he might have.

Hes squandered the chance to be LeBrons runningmate, leading a bright young Celtics team and now one of the most talented groupings of players in the history of the league.

Can anyone really blame Harden for not wanting to spend the end of his prime stuck with this guy?

Could’ve easily won a title /fmvp last year with curry and draymond instead of kyrie, and be favorited again this year if he stayed with the warriors. Not that I’m complaining.

KD thought they would be cool with each cuz he's cool with both but like many friendships, it doesn't work like that. Both players got what they wanted so it's good day for Nets



That’s always a horrible situation

About as shocked as I’ll be when it comes out that Ben Simmons and Kyrie don’t like each other. Should be any day now.


Funnily enough they both went to the same high school, both were born in Melbourne Australia, probably had a bit to do with each other in youth... I'm not so sure.

I'm also VERY confident patty mills will make it is his #1 mission to fix Ben mentally. I think he'll succeed too

Harden sandbagged and forced his way out twice in how many months?

But kyrie is the bad guy for not getting vaxxed. Lmfao hilarious read

I'm not saying Kyrie is wrong for his opinion, but he has a lot of little weird quirks and all of his little quirks stacked up onto of each other make him unbearable to deal with.

I'm a fascist because I don't believe the world is flat and believe scientist and doctors with decades worth of experience rather then q nutjobs and random people with no expertise on FB. You clearly don't understand what fascism is, or even how to use it correctly in a sentence so I would strongly suggest you go local library and figure it out.

From the sounds of it, Harden may have been a deciding factor in not letting Kyrie play just away games.... wanting player to be "all in to win" and not "part time players".... so of course Kyrie wants him gone. Simmons and Kyrie should get along just fine.

He seems high maintenance.
Which means people are constantly wondering if the juice is worth the squeeze.

Im sure Seth Curry is going to love being with Ben. Ben being a diva forcing a trade essentially forced Curry to uproot his entire family.

Kyrie is a nutcase.

That said, I do respect his willingness to sit out. He didn’t lie or BS like Aaron Rodgers and Antonio Brown.

He has a crazy view, it didn’t hurt anyone and only hurt his bottom line.

But, he is massively unreliable. How do we know kyrie just won’t be like…I am done with hoops.

How many teams and situations has Kyrie destroyed?

Cleveland
Boston
New Jersey big 3...

Oh and don't forget how he got a bunch of anti vax cuckoos to try and storm the New Jersey Nets stadium and sat out games before covid too.

By the way, just cause Harden sandbagged twice already doesn't mean Kyrie is clean either. We can allocate blame to both!

Harden has looked bad from Game 1 this season. He was angling for a way out early on.

If kyrie wasn’t injured in the playoffs and harden stayed injured the nets would’ve been champions.
Heck even with kyrie out, if harden never came back we still might’ve been in the finals and champs.
