"When I say I'm here with Kev, I think that really entails us managing this franchise together alongside Joe and Sean," said Irving.

"I've been recognized for my greatness, but at this point I really just want to be part of a great team."


Is this best move for the nets franchise ?? :o

You know how this thread ends before it was even created.
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

You'd think with all his free time, Ben would get a seat at the table. He could scout players, figure out the cap situation, you name it.

This Celtics team is literally the same team minus him. Lol

SMH. Poor leadership. Obviously Kyrie should invite Ben onboard to co-managing the franchise...

Kyrie: I took most of the season off, costing my team home court. Then I laid an egg in the postseason. So I'm going to deprioritize playing basketball, and focus on managing the franchise. My first assignment will be convincing Ben Simmons players shouldn't take most of the season off.

Who the hell talks like that. There is self confidence and then there are some things you just don't say.

Trying to put the pressure on Brooklyn to offer that extension, he’s nervous he’s not gonna get it.
