Kyrie might as well retire at this point. He’s not trying to play no ball anytime soon

I hate that it’s Kyrie with this, he’s legit one of my favorite players in the game right now, I like that he’s a little odd, but this like, enough already, either you’re in or you’re out. Someone mentioned trade value, it’s gotta be kind of low. With the exception of Cleveland, his teams have been kind of better without him, even though they’re pretty good with him.

Philly’s Benjamin problem is serious enough that I can see an argument for them taking a chance on a Simmons/Irving swap. That’s it.

Kyrie in Philly wouldn’t be a bad situation for him either if he’s really Brooklyn or retirement

Straight up treats it like a part-time retail job

 

[WASHED KING]

Kyrie sitting out? That’s crazy. Anyways ring #5 on the way.

Ready for the 3rd Eye Kyrie and Young Socialite discourse to run its course so we can get back to talking about the KANG.

Thunder need to start Poku over Bazley.

Why the hell did OKC trade Sengun to HOU? I thought there was a chance they might actually take him at 6. Definitely thought they'd be happy to have him at 16. Guess not.

They need talent.

Didn't know Milwaukee had that big dude from Seton Hall. He's really skilled. Interesting prospect.

To be clear, EYE wouldn’t do it if I was running the Sixers, but they are the only team that I wouldn’t call totally crazy for trading anyone for KyAnon.

Morey's gonna want 3 1st as well to unload such a generational talent like Ben

They had a pretty decent chance at getting 2 top 5 picks in this past draft. Ended up just coming away with #6. Big blow to their rebuilding efforts. Def feel for SGA.

Does Qyrie even have any trade value? THough he had his people say if he were to be traded over this that he'd flat out retire. No team is risking that.

Nah... they tied their wagon to a dude that gonna hold them hostage over a shot in the arm.

Theyre in an extremely fortunate position that they have enough talent elsewhere it doesn’t actually kill them.

sleeper for MIP

 

[B Sox]

I hate Grayson Allen with a passion, but he might be a really good pickup for Milwaukee.

 

[earldagoat]

Best thing about Grayson is his girlfriend.

sleeper for MIP

Zero percent chance since he’ll be splitting minutes

He can play. Him going dumb in OT of that play-in game last year, had me 38 hot. Him and Dillon Brooks. They on my list of players I can’t stand the most, but acknowledge are good basketball players

"Irving, who serves as a vice president on the executive committee of the players’ union, recently started following and liking Instagram posts from a conspiracy theorist who claims that “secret societies” are implanting vaccines in a plot to connect Black people to a master computer for “a plan of Satan.” This Moderna microchip misinformation campaign has spread across multiple NBA locker rooms and group chats, according to several of the dozen-plus current players, Hall-of-Famers, league executives, arena workers and virologists interviewed for this story over the past week.
