With Harden becoming available Kyrie becomes expendable but as said his value is questionable. Kyrie can ball. His teammates are ok with him. His mouth makes him a problem.
I don’t want to hear his half baked Take on Palestinians without recognizing the depth by which the issue exists and all that goes with it. I have no problem with athletes speaking their mind but be aware if you open it and spew ignorance or “Opinion” that is not well presented then be prepared for the backlash. As it goes, I could care less about KD being offended by Pippens remarks but actually I’m ok with players firing back at things they don’t agree with. Its about time they had a voice.
Michael Rappaport voice and words are like nails on a chalkboard. His raw NY ignorant voice and anger does nothing for me. Too much self importance in his words. Dude seems to thrive on his own anger.
Certainly anything is possible since none of us are privy to anything that goes on with players unless it comes directly from them (if you are to believe what they say). But hearing KD refer to he, Kyrie and Harden as "brothers" I tend to side with KD not wanting Kyrie gone.
ITs possible KD is tired of Kyries shit. At the end of the day players work damn hard and if your “brother” is not carrying his fair share it hurts.
The problem I see is Kyrie is such a deva and free spirit that no team is going to give top-end value unless Kyrie convinced them he wanted to leave and join their team. I mean I would not trade Lillard for Kyrie. Kyrie was talking about retiring at one point last year. Who knows what is going on in his head. Yeah, if he is fully committed, then he is a top-10 player in this league but the reasons the Nets might want to trade him in the first place is because you don’t know what his commitment will be.

Cool article. But all one needs to do to get into the Kremlin is to buy an entrance ticket in a booth in front of it. I find it remarkable how slow US journalists are to adjust to changing circumstances and how beholden they are to ancient stereotypes. How many years has it been since Prokhorov sold the franchise to Joseph Tsai? So, should it not be about cracking the Forbidden City instead? Although to get in there you also only need to buy a ticket.
Matt Sullivan seems like a well credentialed writer. He wrote 4 books. A kids good, a book about Baseball HOF, a book about air Frying and one about the Nets season.
He hinted on a Celtics podcast (anyone can do these) that Nets might be open to trade as they were not happy.
Thats the article. A writer on a podcast hints about a rumor..

Kyrie’s mood swings are legendary. Like I said not only is he diagnosed bipolar he’s probably also a borderline which means he goes from hyper idealizing friends and associates to hyper devaluation and antagonizing them. The guy couldn’t get along with Lebron and wanted out of Cleveland after winning a championship with them.
This is the same story with Kyrie every 2 years he has to leave
Kyrie for Frankie straight up. Eff the mirror test!
