We are screwed. Adam's is power tripping and teams know that if they triple team KD he's going to turn the ball over.

Kyrie has gotta get the JnJ shot

I agree we are finished now, I haven't had any expectations for us for a long time but this just confirms it for me. It was always going to be tough with Kyrie not being able to play in Toronto so I was relying on the rule changing so he could play home games. The sad part is this rule follows no science and is political now. Like you said I hope Kyrie gets the shot but we all know he won't and to honest with the stupidity being put on display by the Mayor and his current rules it hardly inspires confidence in any argument to persuade him to.

Plus I thought if you get the shot you have to wait or month or something like that, for you to be clear eligible to play

Now y'all see what happened. This tool is not politician or has any view how to run city. He is a disaster. Affordable housing, Food stamps etc program's already in jeopardy and for suffering NY'er it will get worse. These so called moderate Dems complete failure and their incompetence is glaring any direction you'll take a look.

It was huge mistake bringing popo to office.

This guy is already ruining NYC 1 year in.

Making me miss De Blasio of all people! I highly doubt he would leave this nonsense in place.

Irving claims that he wants to be here and play. If that is the case, is he going to let the mayor dictate his future with the team? If so, than Irving should have been traded because Adams is just as crazy as he is, and that is a first for Kyrie.

It doesn't matter if he lifts the mandate, because he can easily put it right back. Moving forward, do you want to extend Kyrie after everything that has happened in the past 3 years?

A recent Marist College poll from this week reports 61% approve of Adams and 64% approve of his covid response. I honestly think getting Kyrie to vaccinate would be an easier sell than getting Adams to remove the mandate. Between approval ratings like this, and the surge happening in Europe and Asia, I don't think Adam's is going to remove it.

You may well be right but my issue with the concern about another variant is why lift the public mandate? When that was in place he had a fair argument but after making the changes he has the whole situation is a mess. Even if you take Kyrie totally out of the picture an unvaccinated person can now go into the arena sit in the middle of the crowd with no mask and spread this new variant. It makes no sense. I would love to see the science data that they are following which backs up the position the Mayor is taking. To me this is an all or nothing situation either no unvaccinated people are allowed in or all are.

Honestly I think it's a case of trying to enforce the strictest mandates with the least public blowback. This way they can make it more of a private sector thing than a blanket government mandate even if that is not how it's perceived in the real world. I personally believe in permanent vaccine mandates but I know a lot of people don't believe in that so it might just be a middle of the road deal, especially with the new variants.

Adams is playing politics here but at the end of the day, the blame falls on Kyrie. He has got to take the JnJ shot.

We can admit that Adams is a dick and still hold Kyrie to account.

Yes.

I would extend Kyrie regardless no questions asked. Even if you told me he doesnt play next year again to the mandate, i still extend him

There is a 0% chance Kyrie gets the shot. so, it is impossible for that to have higher chances of getting him on the floor.

Adams approval rating doesnt matter much. since the 40% who dont approve arent just unhappy with him, but what his head on a spike and are actively protesting weekly outside his office.

The most likely is the mandate is dropped once baseball stars. Adams may take on the Nets since no one in NY cares about them, but i doubt he wants the smoke with the yankees and mets.

outside that, litigation is the next most likely

Kyrie will never get the shot.

Yep. The reason why Adams gets away with this is because New Yorkers dgaf about the Nets.

That 60% approval rating will fall quickly if the city gets embroiled in a stand off with the Yankees and Mets by opening day. That is a whole other animal. ESPECIALLY the Yankees.

If Kyrie was on the Knicks, he'd be playing right now. Guaranteed.

Yeah if Kyrie was a knick it would be the biggest story going every single day with millions of NYs hating on him on every platform... not to mention, Dolan is a bigger prick then Tsai and would be getting on adams too.

Honestly I could even see Adams go full rogue and give baseball an exemption and not the nets. Only for the fact that baseball is outdoor

Would open up lawsuits/criticism and show he is a flip flopper. its a bad look. he would be better off holding out baseball as well. once he makes exemptions for some not others, he looks awful

"outdoor" is meaningless since they lifted the venue mandate. you cant say that indoor venus are safe and then say private mandate is exemption for baseball because they are outdoors and indoor venues arent safe

adams is burying himself. stobborn idiot cop

Found something very interesting. Maybe Kyrie can drink cold syrup like vaccine?
The therapy is currently under a European review. It has already been authorised in the United States.
