Have you seen how Kyrie played against Bucks and how he literally said who cares that they're losing? The finger pointing and pouting after saying that Boston is his home and made a verbal commitment?
You know that this is the second team that Kyrie has ghosted on his way out? He said he wanted his own team and he got that on last season's Boston and now he's seeking what?
I was responding to someone saying Kyrie's been a "headcase" before Boston... which isn't true at all, has he been a perfect teammate hell no, but the majority of the time on the Cavs the team had good chemistry.. after a three year run Kyrie was ready to move on and go to a new team, partly because he grew tired of Lebron's act.
Dudes will state that Lakers aren't gonna sign with L.A for the same reasons (Lebrons extraness) but then try to act like Kyrie was weird/volatile for wanting out that situation.
As far as Kyrie this year, he absoulutely deserves some blame. He had some bad moments with the team... but this season isn't enough to label him as some toxic player who destroys lockerooms when the entire situation was toxic.
Rozier went on a national show and blasted the Celtics
Horford apparently got offered a pretty large 4 year deal from Boston & that was turned down to head somewhere else
Morris apparently looks to be leaving
Through the season Jaylen Brown seemed to voice his displeasure
The whole entire team was in turmoil, Kyrie exasperated that but he damn sure wasn't the root of the dysfunction.

Boston absolutely wins if they can pick up Kemba. Still keeps them in the top 4-5 in the East.
I'd be happy if that was the outcome

"In the scenario [where Boston renounces his rights], Rozier would be an unrestricted free agent and the Knicks would have serious interest. If Rozier entered free agency as restricted, the Knicks would be much more cautious because Boston can match any offer and their cap money would get tied up as the Celtics decide."
"There are some in the [Knicks] organization who wouldn’t regard Rozier as too far a step down from Irving because of his age – 25."

He’s not in NBA prime athlete shape. Usually there’s a hype cycle once these guys get with a trainer and nutritionist for the first time.

He’s 20. There’s been a physical adjustment but I don’t question his conditioning. He was out there playing on one leg the last month of the season

Kyrie is 27 though.
Kyrie is leaps and bounds better than Rozier
The writer is saying Rozier is 25.

Him not having an injured leg is significantly more important than dude having abs.

Right...but he’s also acting like Kyrie is on the wrong side of 30 when dude is literally only 2 years older

Remember when the Celtics were on a losing streak, Marcus Morris told reporters “they weren’t having fun”.
Kyrie sits the next game, Celtics blown some team out...reporter asks Morris what the difference was...and he says “we had fun”

KD needs to sign with the Bockers. Need to see the NY fellas feel good about things. Its time.

I understand that. But Kyrie is 27 and a A LOT better. So to say "it's not a big drop off" is asinine.

Damn it was so much fun that despite Kyrie definitely leaving.... everyone else was like Nah i'm good #Culture

I love Kyrie, but I'd be lying if I said he doesn't have a toxic aura.
He wanted his own team, got that, and then isolated himself.
If that isn't toxic, idk what is.

Looks like it's the same ol same ol Knicks front office if their thinking about Rozier and Boogie is accurate.

I think "head case" is strong. That should be reserved for Metta, Rodman, etc.
Kyrie is just a wild card. Not really easy to read him at all.
That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if he changed his name or went full Ricky Williams and just dipped altogether.
