The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[Coupé It]

Wouldn't be able to give him max even with Russ's contract coming off the books.

Just gotta see what happens.

You shouldn’t give Kyrie the max…

Because no other team is going to give Kyrie the max…

Kyrie won’t have a choice but to accept

EYE see what’s happening here

Lakers are in damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation

Everyone knows this and just can’t wait to say “I told you so”

Na.

Lakers waiting until the Summer to sign Kyrie and keeping their picks is not “being damned”.

It’s being smart.

No team is giving Kyrie more than a 2 year deal. Lakers can use the market (or lack thereof) against him.

Has he done the blue arrow celebration yet tho?

im shocked kawhi would sign off on playing with kyrie.

I hope Steph is ok. Didnt look too bad. Least no cracked bone with the xray. And in pointing to the pain point, lateral side. Maybe LCL or meniscus. But hopefully it was lower, and just upper calve muscle contusion.

Kawhi ain't got clout like that no more.

Giannis right now easily the best player on the planet and its not even close...

probably the best response you could provide as a head coach given the circumstances.

although none of us are surprised to see it blowing up, it sucks that we’ll likely never know how good the kd x kyrie combo could have been. barely 70 games together across three seasons.. that said, a durant and gsw reunion would be great!

Must be the compact schedule…

It would be a gift to have a first round of

Lac vs gsw
Utah vs minny play in

No one wants this.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

That’s ok. I’ll be in this thread solo as hell emoting my *** off if the jazz were to pull that off

 

[B Sox]

Cryrie getting traded to the Lakers only makes sense if Utah or somebody else is involved to provide players to Brooklyn since they obviously don’t want Russ. I’d still want at least one of those future firsts though.

It comes in a loss - but, so what.

Brunson did this on.

Mid. Not an AS

Love to see an active father

 

[pmatic]

Guess a trade is happening no matter what.

 

[DLF]

I don’t think Kyrie goes anywhere (again).

Unless some team really makes the Net an offer they can’t refuse.

Which I don’t see happening.
