The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Begins | Embiid Debut | Klay Return

[storm2006]

The Athletic:
Brooklyn Nets All-Star guard Kyrie Irving has requested a trade, league sources tell The Athletic. The franchise has been informed that Irving prefers to move on ahead of the Feb. 9 trade deadline — or he will leave via free agency in July.

The Nets recently offered Irving an extension with guarantee stipulations, according to league sources, an offer which was declined. Sources with direct knowledge of the negotiations who have been granted anonymity so that they could speak freely say that the extension offer was not well received and that there have been principle differences that have emerged between the Nets and Irving.

Joe Tsai reduced his PTO and Kai said nah, I’m out

 

[getback]

Kyrie saw in the contract that he has to play 30 games per season and not disparage Jewish folks

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Chaos in Brooklyn.

**** it. As unstable as I think Kyrie is, send him to the Clippers for Reggie and Marcus Morris. Do it Nets.

 

[big j 33]

This is hilarious, but people predicted that he would act up eventually

Things were too quiet, for too long, and Kyrie is too big of an ***

Ky came out of the Hanukkah season cooking so Joe Tsai thought things were sweet.

And 1 Alex Jones had to remind him who he is dealing with

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Kyrie got Jewish people begging him to come save their team. I've seen it all

 

[AIR J XIII]

Kyrie rightfully is trying to force the Nets’ hand to get the deal he wants. Now I gotta hear the whole world try to to push him to the Lakers for the next week, as if he wants to help lebron again and get no credit

 

[danger style]

Ky came of you the Hanukkah cooking so Joe Tsai thought things were sweet.

And 1 Alex Jones had to remind him who he is dealing with

things were just too calm on the Kyrie stormfront for too long (1 month)

 

[reconic supreme]

**** it. As unstable as I think Kyrie is, send him to the Clippers for Reggie and Marcus Morris. Do it Nets.

I can see it though do you guys have picks to sweeten it? I think Clippers and Lakers the only crazy/desperate enough teams to go for Ky

Throw in the mavs too.

Kyrie isn't walking for nothing in the offseason. Remember when Kyrie tried to convince Brooklyn that he would play for the mid-level exception in LA if it didn't trade him?

Kyrie pretends to stand on his principles but at the end of the day he wants to maximize his money. If Brooklyn doesn't trade him by the deadline, he'll just keep playing and he'll beg for a max extension in the offseason.

If the Clippers do it, I think Wall would be included somehow.

I wonder if he got a bum knee that needs fixing. That's how he got out of Cleveland.

 

[thasoleful1]

I thought winning curse everything?

 

[Based Jesus]

**** it, trade Kyrie to the Lakers. The chance of possibly seeing Russ, Ben and KD play together is worth it.

 

[nick.]

ALA peppering their collective angus as we speak

is there a three month "pause" on the season coming that we don't know about?

 

[had pants]

 

[WASHED KING]

Think of a better trade package than a 6th man of the year candidate and 2 first rd draft picks for Kyrie at his current value.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Yea for the Knicks it's called the postseason

 

[MVP]

Looks like I got a late birthday present this morning, Myrie blowing it up.


Y'all know what's coming...

 

[tomdiginson]

I knew those reports of brother Kyrie resigning to the Nets were false. Especially with how that racist Joe Tsai handled him.

He is most likely a rental for most teams

 

[Tony $now]

Lmao at Brooklyn, KD is next
Ben Simmons will be the last man standing
