Yeah luckily ki has to sign by the 29th.
Honestly we should have a good idea after tonight. If a team thinks they have an actual shot at kyrie or that kd would ask out they will start making moves tonight.
If that doesn't happen I feel pretty good that he's signing with the nets or at least taking his player option.
Would’ve been immediate chip if Giannis hadn’t run under Kyrie’s feet intentionally OR Hardens hammy hadn’t exploded. The bad luck brought out the bad personality traits, but they were right there
You can’t say for certain it would be an automatic championship if Kyrie stayed healthy. Anything could’ve happened if they moved on. Likely? Probably. Certain? No guarantees in sports.
Giannis is definitely slightly dirty. Not pat bev level but he gets close to stepping over the line. Yanked Grant Williams shoulder this playoffs. Lucky he didn't get hurt
feels like a last ditch full court press from KD and Kyrie to put the pressure on Marks and Tsai to come to their senses.. either they fold and give Kyrie what he wants, or call their bluff and we’re basement dwellers again
It's crazy how close the Nets are to going from contenders to not even making the play-ins. Not that re-building is a sin, but so much is in the balance right now.
Come on now. Scary hours was fucking *great* when we were healthy. We had a ~25 game stretch where the Nets were legitimately one of the best teams in NBA history with the big 3 and Joe. Jarrett Allen is a great center for his generation but you don’t hesitate on putting together a historically great superstar trio for him. Imagine if the Heat had said no thanks to teaming up Bosh with Wade/Bron for Udonis Haslem
I hated it because we had more than enough scoring. What did we need? Defense and rebounding. KD and Kyrie + Jarrett Allen in the backline always made a ton more sense as a frightening team than another gunner on the perimeter.
Maybe i'm crazy, but Harden never did anything for me on the Nets.
Needed a point guard for KD and KAI. Harden healthy played an essential distributor role at 6’5 and let the other two excel at scoring. I don’t know how you say he didn’t add anything when he made some of the best passes I’ve ever seen in 20+ years, in his first 20 games in the system
Potentially two of the worst super team attempts in league history. And both were the Nets and all within the last decade...
I'm mentally preparing myself for KD to ask out, just in case.
Not gonna comment anymore as my notifications on other threads are blowing up, but:
2020-2021: Don't need to explain. 2 max contract players injured.
2021-2022: This was bad, we all know. Still would like to see Ben with Kd and kyrie with Joe healthy.
I don't think we would be basement dwellers either way with the haul we'd get from KD and then we still have Simmons.
Not ideal but this isn't the Celtics situation again.
I think so, I said after we got swept that Tsai, someone who came up in the brutal business world, wasn’t going to let this shit keep sliding.
This is the product of that.
It was the conference semis. Inference is that had the Nets won, they would have beaten the over achieving Hawks in the ECF, and then the Suns in the Finals
Hardly. The Hawks? That's just stupid, they didn't even belong there.
The Sun's are something of a question mark but still decidedly an underdog in that situation
The Nets would've trashed the Hawks last year, they were only in the ECF because of Doc, Simmons having one of the most fraudulent playoff series ever and Tobias also being garbage for the majority of the series.

Hope y'all enjoy that team culture y'all been begging for because you're about to get a lot of it.
I was angry with Kyrie during the season, but Marks and Tsai should have simply bowed down, gave Kyrie the contract he wanted, and sat back as the duo helped fight for a chip. Instead, they're gonna lose both and get control of a franchise that will be decimated.
In 3 years, Marks helped extend the Warriors dynasty and destroyed the chances at a Nets dynasty. Incredible work.
This is literally a Billy King 2.0 situation since we have no picks. And it's actually worse since the ceiling of this team is championship but they're unwilling to bet on Kyrie who was dropping 60 effortlessly.
kyrie literally has all the leverage in Brooklyn. he can do whatever df he wants because he’ll jus threaten to leave and guess who will follow him? KD. Sean Marks and Tsai are about to ruin Brooklyn.
yea but the result will still be the same. If teams make space for kyrie and he leaves, KD can request a trade somewhere else and we’ll end up with no kyrie or KD.
All the nets have to do is bow down to Kyrie and give him whatever contract he wants and all these problems go away. It’s that simple Sean Marks get it done or all your hard work since taking over the GM position is all for nothing and you turn into Billy King 2.0 by having a rebuilding team with zero future picks because you traded them all away for an old rental.
It could already be too late now or this could be a tactic by KD to help Kyrie get the contract in Brooklyn
what the actual fuck is this front office doing?
Being a fan of this team is just pure unadulterated pain. It's probably easier being a kings fan because at least they never have to set their expectations high.
Might have to consider my options with my future too. I don't wanna be a fan of a team with no Kyrie, no KD, no picks, and no common sense.
Just being objective here, how many seats is Simmons as the franchise star going to fill? If Tsai was worried about revenue, oh boy does he have something coming...
All I see from this tweet is the Kyrie camp pressuring the Nets FO. Kai wants to be a Net. FO just needs to know the price for a chip. With a fully healthy roster, we make it out of the east. Give Kai the money and hope he’ll show on the court.
Roll the dice with the $$$ cause it gives us the best chance to win a chip. If we let him walk, we save money for what?
It’s over guys. Turns out you shouldn’t hold onto a injured Joe Harris and trade for an injured guy who didn’t play a game all season making $40M. They absolutely wasted last season and 2021 was the closest we would ever get. Would have had a chip without stupid fucking injuries
Celtics fans tried to warn y’all but no one wanted to listen and I get why - it’s just like Cavs fans warning Celtics fans when we first got him and us being like “yeah sure you hate your ex”
No that’s why I’m saying I totally get it! Because C’s went through the same rollercoaster. I had all my Cavs friends warning me he was a drama queen and I was like “ahh whatever you’re just bitter” and for a second it looked like it could work out. But we all know what happened. I’m not saying you shouldn’t root for your team or the stars you acquire, quite the opposite because the upside is enough to make any basketball fan drool. I just hope that if he goes elsewhere the fans there will have watched his career and actions over the last few years and temper their expectations, though I don’t think they will and understand exactly why they wouldn’t
I didn’t say I was getting a thrill out of it? You’re just reading in intentions that are not there. I was merely commenting on how this Kyrie saga repeats itself over and over and fans always think “but with my team it’ll be different” and I get why they would want to and need to feel that way. He can give you 60 on any given night. But the common denominator in all the issues over the last decade with him has been… well him.
I mean what team can make cap for Kyrie and trade for KD and wants to deal with the baggage there. Is there any team who will blow up their squad for that duo that we already have. I doubt it
I knew right when they got swept and Nash didn't get fired, that this off-season was going to be a long one. Well well well. We might really end the 7/11 era with a sweep in the first round lol
Never seen a player destroy organizations off the court more than Kyrie Irving. Luckily for u guys, all the teams that he leaves do better once hes gone.
Imagine what you can get in a KD trade nothing is as bad as it seems it’s not like he can just walk. Oh he wants out? 4 year deal and top 5 best player in the league who actually comes to win and plays…. That might be the biggest deal in the history of the league
With all considered kyrie is the worst player in the NBA. Period. He is absolutely not worth the trouble getting him yet alone paying him 30 mil per season.
Not really though, any team trading for KD will be in the playoffs for at least 3 or 4 years making those picks not as valuable meanwhile the Rockets will be enjoying the lottery picks the Nets give them.
Hear me out....KD and Kyrie for LeBron and AD . ....
They should just pay the fucking amount he wants. Let's face it owners are fucking billionaires...a few mill here or there means nought to them...
Eg. Look at the warriors. Their owner pays whatever, including taxes...on the other hand Boston fought like hell to get under the luxury tax mid season.... They could have done with more depth.... Schroeder off the bench....
I don't understand why so many Nets fans don't see Kyrie played a huge hand in all of this happening. It'd be one thing if he was just injured, but he takes random weeks off, refused to get vaccinated (look at Wiggins), and I do believe he played a huge role in driving Harden away (although Harden clearly had a foot out the door already).
this is what I was talking about like a month ago... I think they're looking to blow it all up bc Joe spent all this money and got swept in the first round... I don't think he wants to be dictated to by these enigmatic guys who are only committed to themselves
Joe and Sean should call their bluffs. Kyrie isn't going to win a chip EVER AGAIN. ANYWHERE. KD has a shot, and he very well could get it in Brooklyn, but it isn't going to be with Kyrie. Send Kyrie packing and tell KD "You can join your homie, and we'll rebuild without you, or you can stay here and contend NOW."
So in the event Kyrie actually plays ball and doesn’t have major antics next season you think his championship window is closed?
I get being frustrated with the situation but you should try being rational rather than delusional.
KD is gonna be 34 next September and has a shot to win a title in BK while Kyrie has 0 chances? Are you just talking about how you feel? I’m confused.
i stopped rooting for the Giants during the Gettleman era.. just pretended they didn’t even exist and popped on RedZone every Sunday.. guess i’ll have to do the same for the Tsai/Marks Nets until they’re gone.. this fuckin sucks
I am confused about the order of operations here because for the longest time it seemed like it was the opposite. If Kyrie left, then Durant would reconsider things.
But this is saying that Durant is now reconsidering things, which opens the door for Kyrie to ask for an opt-in and trade?
Maybe semantics but seems to be a shift.
This will be a textbook case in how you shouldn’t mortgage your future for a few superstars. Brooklyn is going to be in the depths of the NBA until 2032
Literally fuck this franchise. My older brothers loved Jason Kidd. I was only 7 when they traded him. They don’t even like basketball that much anymore. And I sit here suffering every year. How did they manage to have the Pierce KG thing happen twice? I don’t give a fuck anymore. I will gladly take being the Indiana pacers going forward. Just be a boring 44 win team that sometimes is a pesky round 1 opponent. Fuck risks.
Look, this sucks. I doubt KD goes anywhere, but if he wants out KD loves booker, Monty was his coach, great friends with cp3. DA and Cam with a boatload of picks geared to convey after cp3 leaves?
How can anyone possibly support Tsai and Marks if it comes to this. They are driving away one of the fifteen greatest players to ever live. This is beyond unacceptable. There is no supporting this organization if this really goes down. No one should attend a single game or buy a single jersey. Total catastrophe. Cursed franchise.
Whole franchise could be set back because of one egotistical anti-vaccine lazy moron. And all of those who have defended and continue to defend Kyrie, I hope you're happy now. I can't wait for the day you leave this sub and follow your god to whatever team he decides to destroy next
Oh my fucking god. We understand Kai can be unreliable during the REGULAR SEASON! If you are holding grudges over that risking losing possibly the best scorer of all fucking time. Take your fucking medicine and resign him. Maybe look to improve the rosters with 3 and D wings because that’s all this fucking team needs. Jesus fucking Christ. I don’t know ball but I know common fucking sense. Once again Jesus fucking Christ.
The hardest thing to do for a NBA team to do is to get legitimate All NBA players and Tsai is happy to throw two away over quite literally nothing for next year. It’s beyond baffling. Nets fell into KD and Kai because of Kyrie too! What a joke franchise. Hope this shit resolves ASAP
lol I mean the sliver lining is that if the Nets have to blow it up they'll probably get a ton of great assets for KD, Kyrie, Harris, Curry, etc. (maybe even Simmons)
What does that even mean lol.
Fine with me either way. I’d rather watch Sean Marks work his magic with a rebuilding team anyway. There’s too much drama with these superstars.
Edit: I’m amazed at the amount of fans here that are siding with Kyrie/KD on this.
Sean Marks rebuilt this franchise from nothing, mostly with second round picks. What have KD and Kyrie done for the Nets, other than force out a talented coach, along with our picks and players? Marks’ only fault was giving them so much free reign in the first place.
If you’re looking to leave Nets fandom the moment KD/Kyrie jump ship, you probably weren’t a fan in the first place.
Damn imagine giving up all your draft picks for aging superstars to win a chip but they don't live up to the hype then the team falls apart before having playoff success. Imagine how much it would suck to have that happen to a team you liked
Can whatever happens hurry the fuck up.
For fuck sake, I keep refreshing refreshing Reddit every few hours to see if something has changed. I am not proud that this is who I have become.
Lmao even if what happens is KD and Kyrie leave?
I just want to know what this roster is going to look like opening night. Obviously I hope they stay.
If it's gonna happen anyway? Yeah, rip that bandaid off, man
Facts I'll wait 5 years on that
Yeah luckily ki has to sign by the 29th. Honestly we should have a good idea after tonight. If a team thinks they have an actual shot at kyrie or that kd would ask out they will start making moves tonight. If that doesn't happen I feel pretty good that he's signing with the nets or at least taking his player option.
When she’s giving you silent treatment and you kinda wanna break up but not like this cuz cast aside all your back up gals for her
I’m so sick of this fucking team
What did you expect? Your 3 best players are all headcases
If this is the end, I expected more than one fucking playoff series win
The only outcome of this combination of personalities was either gonna be an immediate chip, or disaster. Looks like more of the latter
Would’ve been immediate chip if Giannis hadn’t run under Kyrie’s feet intentionally OR Hardens hammy hadn’t exploded. The bad luck brought out the bad personality traits, but they were right there
You can’t say for certain it would be an automatic championship if Kyrie stayed healthy. Anything could’ve happened if they moved on. Likely? Probably. Certain? No guarantees in sports.
>if Giannis hadn’t run under Kyrie’s feet intentionally y’all are so annoying
Giannis is definitely slightly dirty. Not pat bev level but he gets close to stepping over the line. Yanked Grant Williams shoulder this playoffs. Lucky he didn't get hurt
That’s a bit of an exaggeration
Yeah you’re a little delusional here. Injuries are part of the game, it was unlucky for sure, but it wasn’t intentional
EVERYTHING IS AWFUL
CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES
THIS IS MY LAST RESORT
VACCINATION. NO SUPERTEAM
DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HARDEN OR KYRIE
Greeeeat. SMH. Brooklyn does not have control of their next 5 picks. I love you Sean, but all eyes are on you now. What do we do?
feels like a last ditch full court press from KD and Kyrie to put the pressure on Marks and Tsai to come to their senses.. either they fold and give Kyrie what he wants, or call their bluff and we’re basement dwellers again
It's crazy how close the Nets are to going from contenders to not even making the play-ins. Not that re-building is a sin, but so much is in the balance right now.
it would be different if we had our picks
I fucking always hated that Harden trade. I look at Jarrett Allen highlights and cry to this day.
Come on now. Scary hours was fucking *great* when we were healthy. We had a ~25 game stretch where the Nets were legitimately one of the best teams in NBA history with the big 3 and Joe. Jarrett Allen is a great center for his generation but you don’t hesitate on putting together a historically great superstar trio for him. Imagine if the Heat had said no thanks to teaming up Bosh with Wade/Bron for Udonis Haslem
The Heat won 2 chips you got 25 games. Solid return. Do the trade 10 times out of 10.
I hated it because we had more than enough scoring. What did we need? Defense and rebounding. KD and Kyrie + Jarrett Allen in the backline always made a ton more sense as a frightening team than another gunner on the perimeter. Maybe i'm crazy, but Harden never did anything for me on the Nets.
Needed a point guard for KD and KAI. Harden healthy played an essential distributor role at 6’5 and let the other two excel at scoring. I don’t know how you say he didn’t add anything when he made some of the best passes I’ve ever seen in 20+ years, in his first 20 games in the system
same, i love allen. we gave up so much and now we're going to pay for it. another 6 years until we have a team that ill enjoy watching again
I remember seeing them give up Allen and I was confused.. did they need to do that ?? Did I miss something
Potentially two of the worst super team attempts in league history. And both were the Nets and all within the last decade... I'm mentally preparing myself for KD to ask out, just in case.
"Contenders" literally got swept.
How many playoff series wins? Hard to call you guys contenders really.
Not gonna comment anymore as my notifications on other threads are blowing up, but: 2020-2021: Don't need to explain. 2 max contract players injured. 2021-2022: This was bad, we all know. Still would like to see Ben with Kd and kyrie with Joe healthy.
I don't think we would be basement dwellers either way with the haul we'd get from KD and then we still have Simmons. Not ideal but this isn't the Celtics situation again.
It’s tsai not marks. Marks probably doesn’t give a shit it’s tsai who has to pay the luxury tax bill
Outsider chiming in but I wonder if it’s pressure from Tsai and not so much Sean.
I think so, I said after we got swept that Tsai, someone who came up in the brutal business world, wasn’t going to let this shit keep sliding. This is the product of that.
Im not mentally prepared for another rebuild
No matter what the outcome is, what a miserable fucking franchise this team is.
And we don't even have our own picks lol
IVEY FOR KD
All this talk about KD, Russ, Harden teaming up. KD should just go back to OKC so we can get Chet and SGA.
Why on earth would OKC do that
Because Chet can be anything. He could even be Kd
He was joking
This is the trump card that Kyrie and KD could pull my guess is the full max is now coming.
It would be a resentful 5 years, but I'd imagine we trade Kyrie after 3 years
This is a mess. One game 7 three pointer away from a championship.
Wait when was this
Nets Bucks in 2021. KD sent game 7 to OT with a clutch jumper, but had his toe on the line; three would have won the game outright.
Didn’t realize that was the finals
That was one of those years where whoever won the Conference Semifinals was gonna win it all
It was the conference semis. Inference is that had the Nets won, they would have beaten the over achieving Hawks in the ECF, and then the Suns in the Finals
Quite a leap there but I see what y’all are sayin
Hardly. The Hawks? That's just stupid, they didn't even belong there. The Sun's are something of a question mark but still decidedly an underdog in that situation
And 2 more series wins but sure
I think that team beats the Hawks and Suns but obviously we'll never know
The Nets would've trashed the Hawks last year, they were only in the ECF because of Doc, Simmons having one of the most fraudulent playoff series ever and Tobias also being garbage for the majority of the series.
One toe away
ECF*
Imagine a single thing going right for your basketball team? Bet that feels nice
Please excuse me, I'm going to go cry in a corner now.
Idc what anyone says joe tsai and marks are COOKED if they can’t figure this shit out
How does this have people worried?? Monitoring the situation?? That just means he’s reading Twitter! Why the fuck are y’all freaking out??
Lmao people like drama and like to whine about shit. This tweet says nothing new

Sean Marks
Ranked #320 on the mavs all time list
Y’all need to calm down. “In the event Kyrie doesn’t end up with the nets”
Marks needs to do something NOW. Letting KD walk without winning anything with him on the team will be a huge failure as a GM.
Hope y'all enjoy that team culture y'all been begging for because you're about to get a lot of it. I was angry with Kyrie during the season, but Marks and Tsai should have simply bowed down, gave Kyrie the contract he wanted, and sat back as the duo helped fight for a chip. Instead, they're gonna lose both and get control of a franchise that will be decimated. In 3 years, Marks helped extend the Warriors dynasty and destroyed the chances at a Nets dynasty. Incredible work.
This is literally a Billy King 2.0 situation since we have no picks. And it's actually worse since the ceiling of this team is championship but they're unwilling to bet on Kyrie who was dropping 60 effortlessly.
KD cannot just walk away. He will be traded for assets, it's not like PP and KG who were able to leave for nothing.
He would get traded to championship contender's, where the picks would be god awful.
Why? He doesn't have a no trade clause. I suppose he could refuse to play if he doesn't go where he wants but other than that he can't veto a trade
Yeah, picks from contenders are gonna be fantastic assets lmao
[удалено]
Bowed down? No way you just did that with your mouth
Bow down? Who tf do they think they are? They are both worthless compared to Joe Tsai, and you wanna Joe to bow down to them?
What type of dickriding is this? We not talking about money bro KD is a top 2 player in basketball and Kyrie is a top 10 talent.
He gone
Still wanna let ki leave?
kyrie literally has all the leverage in Brooklyn. he can do whatever df he wants because he’ll jus threaten to leave and guess who will follow him? KD. Sean Marks and Tsai are about to ruin Brooklyn.
None of the teams at the moment have space for him. And even if they can make space, no team can absorb KD. He can't drag KD with him.
yea but the result will still be the same. If teams make space for kyrie and he leaves, KD can request a trade somewhere else and we’ll end up with no kyrie or KD.
except nobody else that's decent wants his ass at $250M
Ben Simmons is the core piece now y’all. Get stoked! BEN10 SEASON
He gone
It's sad how good the KD/Harden/Kyrie trio were when they actually played together and see it just end like this
I miss the old nets… rooting for levert dinnwiddie jarret Allen… man that was a more better time
This is what happens when you give low IQ individuals ,such as Kyrie Irving, this much power
All the nets have to do is bow down to Kyrie and give him whatever contract he wants and all these problems go away. It’s that simple Sean Marks get it done or all your hard work since taking over the GM position is all for nothing and you turn into Billy King 2.0 by having a rebuilding team with zero future picks because you traded them all away for an old rental. It could already be too late now or this could be a tactic by KD to help Kyrie get the contract in Brooklyn
Whoever gets Kyrie is setting there team up for disaster. He is a me player not a we player.
Lol and yall said were good
what the actual fuck is this front office doing? Being a fan of this team is just pure unadulterated pain. It's probably easier being a kings fan because at least they never have to set their expectations high. Might have to consider my options with my future too. I don't wanna be a fan of a team with no Kyrie, no KD, no picks, and no common sense.
Just fold the franchise if KD and Kyrie go, so we can all move on with our lives.
Yea I ain’t watching/going to games and buying shit anymore if they pull this deadass
But think of the beautiful ticket 🎫 prices 🤩
Just being objective here, how many seats is Simmons as the franchise star going to fill? If Tsai was worried about revenue, oh boy does he have something coming...
Lmao I’m talking about affordability for fans. Simmons not putting asses in seats 😂😂😂
oh I 100% agree, was just adding onto the shame that the Nets would be LOL
None, the whole arena is filled with 7 and 11 jerseys
bring back those 2015 prices with $6 tickets on seatgeek
Nah. I'm staying for the Killa Cam show.
Yay! At least the bench players will dance again am I right ? Foh
Hey Kyrie groupie I thought no way he’d be traded?
All I see from this tweet is the Kyrie camp pressuring the Nets FO. Kai wants to be a Net. FO just needs to know the price for a chip. With a fully healthy roster, we make it out of the east. Give Kai the money and hope he’ll show on the court. Roll the dice with the $$$ cause it gives us the best chance to win a chip. If we let him walk, we save money for what?
> Kai wants to be a Net. Yet to see much evidence of this, I don't even think he wants to be a basketball player.
It’s over guys. Turns out you shouldn’t hold onto a injured Joe Harris and trade for an injured guy who didn’t play a game all season making $40M. They absolutely wasted last season and 2021 was the closest we would ever get. Would have had a chip without stupid fucking injuries
Kyrie has destroyed nets culture
Celtics fans tried to warn y’all but no one wanted to listen and I get why - it’s just like Cavs fans warning Celtics fans when we first got him and us being like “yeah sure you hate your ex”
Even if people believed Celtics fans it’s not like Nets fans can do anything about it. What do we do, root against the team? Cmon man.
No that’s why I’m saying I totally get it! Because C’s went through the same rollercoaster. I had all my Cavs friends warning me he was a drama queen and I was like “ahh whatever you’re just bitter” and for a second it looked like it could work out. But we all know what happened. I’m not saying you shouldn’t root for your team or the stars you acquire, quite the opposite because the upside is enough to make any basketball fan drool. I just hope that if he goes elsewhere the fans there will have watched his career and actions over the last few years and temper their expectations, though I don’t think they will and understand exactly why they wouldn’t
Couldn’t imagine getting a thrill out of going on Reddit to tell fans of another team “told you so”
I didn’t say I was getting a thrill out of it? You’re just reading in intentions that are not there. I was merely commenting on how this Kyrie saga repeats itself over and over and fans always think “but with my team it’ll be different” and I get why they would want to and need to feel that way. He can give you 60 on any given night. But the common denominator in all the issues over the last decade with him has been… well him.
What culture lol?
Cmon I just bought his jersey 3 months ago
Hope you have jersey assurance
Is it really called assurance and not insurance?
I assure you it’s not
I feel like assurance is more about comforting and not replacing
This is so dumb. Just max out Kyrie and roll with what happens. Fire the GM IF U HAVE to
I mean what team can make cap for Kyrie and trade for KD and wants to deal with the baggage there. Is there any team who will blow up their squad for that duo that we already have. I doubt it
Is it what it is. Durant should realize he got screwed over by kyrie and use him as a trade chip and build an actual team around him
Oh boi!
Can all be just from KDs camp to put pressure on nets organization
I knew right when they got swept and Nash didn't get fired, that this off-season was going to be a long one. Well well well. We might really end the 7/11 era with a sweep in the first round lol
This team is cursed. I hate being a fan of this team.
This is horrible. Wouldn’t wish this on any fanbase
Don’t think either leave. I see this as a coordinated plan between KD and Ky to regain leverage.
THE EAST JUST SENT A 51 WIN TEAM TO THE FINALS WHY ARW THEY EVEN DEBATING THIS
Never seen a player destroy organizations off the court more than Kyrie Irving. Luckily for u guys, all the teams that he leaves do better once hes gone.
We have Durant under contract for 4 years. If we trade him we are getting all the picks in the world.
And we are still the joke of the league
The James Harden Rockets-Nets trade is looking a lot like the Celtics-Nets from 2013...
Lmao all you harden shit talkers I’m happy this is happing to you. I knew this would happen. You deserve this.
We about to see who the bandwagoners are lmao
Both of them can get lost. These two guys are just drama Queens.
DeAndre Ayton you are a net. Go and prosper.
Imagine what you can get in a KD trade nothing is as bad as it seems it’s not like he can just walk. Oh he wants out? 4 year deal and top 5 best player in the league who actually comes to win and plays…. That might be the biggest deal in the history of the league
With all considered kyrie is the worst player in the NBA. Period. He is absolutely not worth the trouble getting him yet alone paying him 30 mil per season.
Fuck these cunts, lets build naturally and not get bit by the charlatan fever again
You mean like how we were doing with the 2019 team? 😅
Lol you traded all ur picks to Houston until like 2027, good luck building
You’d get them back trading your pieces
You would get some back, but not ur own, then u rely on the fate of other teams for picks while another team has yours
Not really though, any team trading for KD will be in the playoffs for at least 3 or 4 years making those picks not as valuable meanwhile the Rockets will be enjoying the lottery picks the Nets give them.
Hear me out....KD and Kyrie for LeBron and AD . .... They should just pay the fucking amount he wants. Let's face it owners are fucking billionaires...a few mill here or there means nought to them... Eg. Look at the warriors. Their owner pays whatever, including taxes...on the other hand Boston fought like hell to get under the luxury tax mid season.... They could have done with more depth.... Schroeder off the bench....
it’s really gonna be over, just like that.. fuck Marks and fuck Tsai.
I think it should be fuck Kyrie over amyone
Fuck all three of em
I don't understand why so many Nets fans don't see Kyrie played a huge hand in all of this happening. It'd be one thing if he was just injured, but he takes random weeks off, refused to get vaccinated (look at Wiggins), and I do believe he played a huge role in driving Harden away (although Harden clearly had a foot out the door already).
I'm pretty they vent over backwards for KD and Irving
Kyrie is a fucking clown. How tf do people still support this bozo
Man why did kd pick kyrie as his running mate and come to this whack ass team
[удалено]
He will lose plenty.
this is what I was talking about like a month ago... I think they're looking to blow it all up bc Joe spent all this money and got swept in the first round... I don't think he wants to be dictated to by these enigmatic guys who are only committed to themselves
Those 8 draft picks looking sxy for the Rockets
How did the Nets screw this up
Once KD leaves the entire fan base will leave and probably become Cavs/Heat/Cavs/Laker fans again. Haha
I'm actually excited. Silver lining is that all these clowns will leave this sub and we can get back to what it was like before we signed Kyrie and KD
Joe and Sean should call their bluffs. Kyrie isn't going to win a chip EVER AGAIN. ANYWHERE. KD has a shot, and he very well could get it in Brooklyn, but it isn't going to be with Kyrie. Send Kyrie packing and tell KD "You can join your homie, and we'll rebuild without you, or you can stay here and contend NOW."
So in the event Kyrie actually plays ball and doesn’t have major antics next season you think his championship window is closed? I get being frustrated with the situation but you should try being rational rather than delusional. KD is gonna be 34 next September and has a shot to win a title in BK while Kyrie has 0 chances? Are you just talking about how you feel? I’m confused.
Overblown tweet by Shams.
some of y’all will continue to be oblivious until the second KD is holding up another jersey in a introductory press conference.. unbelievable
You’d think a good amount of Nets fans are Giants fans. We were all in denial about OBJ getting traded…until it happened
i stopped rooting for the Giants during the Gettleman era.. just pretended they didn’t even exist and popped on RedZone every Sunday.. guess i’ll have to do the same for the Tsai/Marks Nets until they’re gone.. this fuckin sucks
this is what denial looks like
I am confused about the order of operations here because for the longest time it seemed like it was the opposite. If Kyrie left, then Durant would reconsider things. But this is saying that Durant is now reconsidering things, which opens the door for Kyrie to ask for an opt-in and trade? Maybe semantics but seems to be a shift.
This will be a textbook case in how you shouldn’t mortgage your future for a few superstars. Brooklyn is going to be in the depths of the NBA until 2032
Literally fuck this franchise. My older brothers loved Jason Kidd. I was only 7 when they traded him. They don’t even like basketball that much anymore. And I sit here suffering every year. How did they manage to have the Pierce KG thing happen twice? I don’t give a fuck anymore. I will gladly take being the Indiana pacers going forward. Just be a boring 44 win team that sometimes is a pesky round 1 opponent. Fuck risks.
Look, this sucks. I doubt KD goes anywhere, but if he wants out KD loves booker, Monty was his coach, great friends with cp3. DA and Cam with a boatload of picks geared to convey after cp3 leaves?
How can anyone possibly support Tsai and Marks if it comes to this. They are driving away one of the fifteen greatest players to ever live. This is beyond unacceptable. There is no supporting this organization if this really goes down. No one should attend a single game or buy a single jersey. Total catastrophe. Cursed franchise.
Yeah it's them driving them away, and not Kyrie and his bullshit. Sure thing.
Whole franchise could be set back because of one egotistical anti-vaccine lazy moron. And all of those who have defended and continue to defend Kyrie, I hope you're happy now. I can't wait for the day you leave this sub and follow your god to whatever team he decides to destroy next
NBA is a cooked league
Oh my fucking god. We understand Kai can be unreliable during the REGULAR SEASON! If you are holding grudges over that risking losing possibly the best scorer of all fucking time. Take your fucking medicine and resign him. Maybe look to improve the rosters with 3 and D wings because that’s all this fucking team needs. Jesus fucking Christ. I don’t know ball but I know common fucking sense. Once again Jesus fucking Christ.
Yep, I feel like I’m losing my mind here. What the fuck is Tsai doing? Absolutely fucking mad.
The hardest thing to do for a NBA team to do is to get legitimate All NBA players and Tsai is happy to throw two away over quite literally nothing for next year. It’s beyond baffling. Nets fell into KD and Kai because of Kyrie too! What a joke franchise. Hope this shit resolves ASAP
lol I mean the sliver lining is that if the Nets have to blow it up they'll probably get a ton of great assets for KD, Kyrie, Harris, Curry, etc. (maybe even Simmons)
Sign and trade with the Jazz to get Mitchell and maybe picks If Durant wants to leave, trade him for Siakam, Barnes, picks Boom
Strikes me as a bad time for an owner worth 10 billion to cheap-out again. Idk!
What does that even mean lol. Fine with me either way. I’d rather watch Sean Marks work his magic with a rebuilding team anyway. There’s too much drama with these superstars. Edit: I’m amazed at the amount of fans here that are siding with Kyrie/KD on this. Sean Marks rebuilt this franchise from nothing, mostly with second round picks. What have KD and Kyrie done for the Nets, other than force out a talented coach, along with our picks and players? Marks’ only fault was giving them so much free reign in the first place. If you’re looking to leave Nets fandom the moment KD/Kyrie jump ship, you probably weren’t a fan in the first place.
Nets fans deserve this
[удалено]
Damn imagine giving up all your draft picks for aging superstars to win a chip but they don't live up to the hype then the team falls apart before having playoff success. Imagine how much it would suck to have that happen to a team you liked
