    In 3 Season's, Kyrie Missed 53% of His Brooklyn Nets Games Bruh!!! Fuck Are You Talking About???:Dont:

    EXTEND Him???:duck:

    Yes, Kyrie is an ELITE Level Talent, But Let's Not Pretend He's RELIABLE...AT ALL...10-11 Games @ Duke, and a LOWER than Warranted % of Games as a Pro, to Accentuate It...

    And the Downtime AIN'T Always Injury Related or Justified, Either...

    Kyrie's Been an Asshole Waaaaaaay Before the Pandemic, But YOU'RE On KD's Nuts Sooooo Hard, You REFUSE To Hold Kyrie Accountable Because He's KD's Boy...

    Pathetic...

    Kyrie Has a STRANGE Hold on KD; Dude NEVER See's Anything as Kyrie's Fault, Despite the FACT Kyrie's Been a Team CANCER Every Place He's Ever Been, Factually Speaking...

    No, the Pandemic WASN'T Kyrie's Fault, But it was Yet Another Example of "Other Shit" Precluding Kyrie from Playing...

    Im a bigger fan of irving than durant. he's the best player in the league to watch. if the nets keep him and durant they are a legit title contender. if the lakers get him they are a legit title contender. if dallas gets him they are a whole lot closer to a chip. thats just how it is.

    bottom line is the nets owner is being cheap. Im seeing crazy money thrown around for guys all over the league.

    Im guessing you are also doubting new orleans decision to pay williamson?

    i wont be upset if the lakers trade for him. that means i can go to some games and see him cook these bums in person

    Now i'm thinking in my mind that Tsai is indeed telling KD to fuck off and they are going to run the KD-Kyrie-Simmons trio for one season before blowing it up

    I’ve seen worse options. If I have all of them under contract, I want to see them all on the court for at least part of a season before I pull the trigger on anything. Winning wallpapers a lot of cracks.

    James does the same shit as Durant. Zero difference in the control he demanded/exerted where ever he signed

    The nets owner knew this shit when he picked him up

    Yeah with legitimate injuries and not because of crying that the riots hurt his feelings, as in the case of Kyrie. Kyrie was the one player arguing against doing the bubble because he likes nothing more than getting paid to play basketball without actually playing basketball.

    For you to try and squeeze in some pointless numbers the way you did and leave out all the nuance involved shows exactly how your bias and favoritism overrides all common sense.

    "As of yesterday, he was [still in LA]. He was playing with some [NBA] guys out in the Valley. He was clearly the best guy on the court... He was scoring in ways that some guys just couldn't imagine." @BA_Turner on Kyrie Irving via @TheSteinLine's @SpotifyLive. https://t.co/xOLWsxBjDw

    That’s good because he certainly didn’t look like the best guy in the playoffs. So it’s good to hear he’s able to at least school his peers on the neighborhood blacktop. Double points for having to go off of hearsay regarding that.

    That’s fine. Fuck Durant too, I find both of those cunts annoying and they both deserve each other. As long as you can admit Irving isn’t all he’s cracked up to be. He’s a fucking nut job who’s mental midgetry and laziness has completely torpedoed his own financial worth. Unlike Kyrie, at least Durant can say he’s still one of the top coveted players in the league. Durant had to fake a trade request just to give Kyrie leverage with the Nets.

    irving is one of the top players in the league :Jest:

    what is he cracked up to be? when he's healthy and on the court he is one of the top 5 offensive players in the league.

    Well, REED Hopes You Enjoyed Watching Those 29 Games Kyrie Played This Past Season and the 47% of Games He's Played in a Brooklyn Nets Uniform...Bottom Line, the Best Ability an Athlete Can Possess is AVAILABILITY, Which Has ESCAPED Kyrie Irving Since College...

    Brooklyn Literally Got SWEPT in the 1st Round This Past Season; What Makes YOU Think They're a "Title Contender" w/Kyrie and KD, All of a Sudden???...

    Kyrie's a Phenomenal Talent w/Impeccable Skills, But He's 100% UNfuckingRELIABLE...That's a FACT!!!...It's Why the "Cheap" Owner is "Only" Paying His Ass $36.5mil This Coming Season...

    The Nets Called Kyrie's Bluff and You're Clearly SALTY About It...A Team FINALLY Stood Up to His Ass, Which was a Loooooooooong Time Coming...REED Cries No Rivers for that Motherfucker and Isn't Sure Why YOU or Anyone Else Would...

    As for Zion, His Contract ISN'T Fully Guaranteed, if REED Isn't Mistaken...It's Similar to a Contract Embiid Signed After a Couple Injury Plagued Seasons...But That's Just It, Zion's Had Documented, VERIFIABLE INJURIES, Unlike Kyrie, Who Comes and Goes as He Pleases...

    There's NO Comparison There Bruh, @ All...So Please Stop Reaching...

    How Many "Mental Health" Leave of Absences Did KD Have???...How Many Birthday Parties was KD Spotted @ During Said Leave of Absence???...How Many SORENESS and Other Undocumented, Unfounded "Injuries" Did KD Have???...

    There Really is NO Defending Kyrie Irving's Actions...From Cleveland to Boston to Brooklyn, the Common Denominator Has Been HIM...The Negative Influence, the Team Cancer Has Been HIM...

    To IGNORE That or Fail to Hold Dude the LEAST Bit Accountable is Comical...

    47% of the Time, Kyrie Irving was a Top 5 Offensive Player in the League...

    That's a Helluva Basketball Epitaph...

    thoroughly. made it a point to watch most of the games when he played and saw some epic performances.


    the comparison is in the bottom line. the guy youre criticizing for availability played more games than durant.


    uh, because they'll have simmons and joe harris?

    Fuck Are You Talking About???

    Kyrie Played 29 of a Possible 82 Games Last Season...KD Played 55...Throughout Their College and Pro Careers, KD's Missed FEWER Games as Well...There's Literally NO Argument In That Regard...

    Let REED Know When KD Requests Time Off Due to an Insurrection 230 Miles Away...Let REED Know When KD Requests "Mental Health" Days Off & Is Then Spotted @ a Birthday Party...Let REED Know When KD Allows "Soreness" to Lead to SEVERAL Missed Games...Literally, Kyrie was THE ONLY Brooklyn Net Who Wasn't Vaccinated...Yet Again, He Placed SELF Over TEAM....Surprise, Surprise...

    Andrew Wiggins was an Anti-Vaxxer Too But Guess What???...He Sucked It Up for the Greater Good and Now He's an All-Star and NBA Champion...

    There's Literally NOfuckingCOMPARISON Between KD and Kyrie in Terms of Games Missed and Only a Kyrie APOLOGIST Would Attempt to Go There Bruh...Your "Argument" is FLIMSY AF...

    Instead of ENABLING That Motherfucker, Hold Him ACCOUNTABLE...Just ONCE!!!...ONCE!!!

    Forced His Way OUT of Cleveland on Some Kobe WANNABE Shit...Forced Himself UPON Boston, Who Played BETTER Without His Ass...And Now, He's Worn Out his Welcome in Brooklyn...When You Have the SAME Fucking Issue w/Different Teams and Teammates, They're Not the Problem, YOU'RE the Problem...

    Get Off His Nuts and Hold Kyrie's Ass ACCOUNTABLE...Just ONCE!!!...ONCE!!!...

    Phenomenal Talent, Impeccable Skills and a Certified MALCONTENT and TEAM CANCER...You Can't Deny ANY of It Either...

    Irving has played more games with Brooklyn than Durant. That's what I'm talkin about

    Simmons is a multiple time all star and all nba defender. Harris lead the league in 3point %

    So yeah I think their presence matters

    Per Basketball Reference.com, Kyrie's Played 103 Games as a Brooklyn Net, KD's Played 90...

    That's INCLUDING the 62 Games KD Missed w/an Achilles Injury, Trying to Bail GS Out in the Finals vs. Toronto the Season Prior...For KD to Have Missed an ENTIRE Season, Yet Only Trail Kyrie in Games Played By 13 Actually CRYSTALLIZES REED's Point; Kyrie is Patently UNfuckingRELIABLE...

    REED Also Noted the Number of Times KD and Kyrie Have Played 70 Games or More in a Season...KD's Done it 8 Times, Kyrie's Done it Just 3 Times...And Kyrie's the YOUNGER Guy, to Make it Worse...Literally, You're Comparing a Guy Who ONLY Misses Games When He's LEGITIMATELY Hurt to a Guy Who INVENTS Reasons Not to Play, When HEALTHY...

    If/When You Want to Make an Argument FOR Kyrie, Games Played AIN'T a Good Place to Start Bruh...Stick to His Handles and Ability to Finish @ the Rim...

    Anyways, How Much Did Ben Simmons' Presence Matter in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals vs. ATL???...How Many BIG 3's Has Joe Harris Hit???...No, Neither of Them Suck, But They're NOT the Type of Players You Hang Your Championship Hat On Either...

    Exactly


    Any reasonable basketball analyst would admit the nets are a legit title threat with Irving, Durant, simmons, Harris, claxton , etc

    "If Kyrie..."

    "Kyrie's Good But...."

    The amount of long winded spiel coming from Woj without saying anything of value tells me that while the media would love for Durant to move, he probably won’t.

    Utah apparently listening to trades for Mitchell.

    Woj is Credible, But the Timing of KD's Trade Demand (Like 2 Hours Prior to the OFFICIAL Start of Free Agency), Coupled w/Brooklyn's Trade Demands (Kat Townes, Anthony Edwards AND 3 First Round Picks for KD?:eek:) Has STAGNATED Player Movement, a TAD...More Than USUAL This Time of Year, for Certain...

    But To YOUR Point, REED Thinks Brooklyn's Playing the Loooooooooooooong Game w/KD, as They Did w/Kyrie...Calling His Bluff and/Or 100% UNWILLING to Accept a Deal They Deem as Lesser or Insufficient...No Matter HOW Pissed He Is, Brooklyn Ain't GIVING KD's Ass Away for Cheap, PeriodT!!!...

    KD Will Be 34 in September and LITERALLY Has 4 Years Remaining On His Contract...Brooklyn Has All the LEVERAGE, Undeniably...

    Kyrie's ALREADY Opted Into His $36mil Deal, Though He's Expecting to Be Traded to the Lakers...But it Just MIGHT Make More Sense to Ride Out 1 FINAL Brooklyn Year Together, Before Bouncing???:Dont:...

    It'll Be Interesting AF Watching it All Play Out...

    FYI, There's Literally NATHAN Left for Donovan Mitchell in Utah...

    Whether They LIKED Each Other or Not, the Moment Utah TRADED Rudy Gobert, They Were Signalling to Donovan They were REBUILDING...

    Durant has zero leverage like i said. Nets need to keep that team together and see what can happen if all are available when it matters
