  1. he tanked his value so bad, the one team that did want him are no longer interested

    That thumbnail of him is exactly how I feel about this situation

  2. nets had the chance to trade kd and trade kyrie for 2 frps in the summer and they said na we good 🤣

  3. Even if you don’t care about the anti-Semitism (which obviously you should), you don’t know if he’s going to play or not, and you don’t know what drama he’ll bring. He’s also not a top 15 player, so he’s not even close to being worth the potential headaches.

  4. aint no way bron oks that at this point. he’s not gonna risk his brand caping for kyrie.

  5. It went from “There’s no way the Nets are stupid enough to do a 1 for 1 Russ and Kyrie swap” to “there’s no way the Lakers are stupid enough to do a 1 for 1 Russ and Kyrie swap” in less that a month.

  6. It’s like when Paulie gives Henry money in goodfellas and then was like I gotta turn my back on you.

  7. If I were the Nets or any prospective team this year, I would just eliminate his media obligations all together and request the team not answer any questions related to him either. Just hoop and go home. Hell, I bet KD would opt into that agreement as well.

  8. If I’m the Lakers, I see how this season plays out and if it continues to go south I trade LeBron and AD for as much as I could get. Time to go into rebuild mode rather than suffer with this horrendously built team.

  9. AD probably is still rusty. He was out for a while..he also looks out of shape.

    Nunn/Bev should be flipped.

    WB should stay 6 man, resign for 3 year 35.

    Then invest in g league pool.

  10. It’s funny to me that you still see Lakers fans who really want him on the roster.

    Like… after everything you think this guy is going to put the Lakers over the top?

  11. Dude’s gone from toxic to radioactive.

    His career is effectively over.

    He’ll never get a long term deal ever again, & he’ll be lucky to get offered anything after this season.

  12. Lebron’s brand can’t withstand Kyrie’s antisemitic label. The Lakers brand definitely cannot withstand that label. NY, Miami, LA are no fly zones for Kyrie. I doubt if he plays for Brooklyn again.

    Hard to trade for a guy who destroyed his last 3 teams from within no matter how many buckets he gets. He gives away just as many on defense and will suck the life out of your locker room.

    Plus if you do trade for him, how long before he does or says something else that puts a dark cloud over the new team.

  13. I really hope this dude is out of the league after this year. Tired of all this non basketball horseshit coming out of his mouth that dominates the news.

  14. can lakers sign him for anything more than the max? if they did want to sign him, i would hope they at least did it as a 1 year nonguaranteed minimum so if he continues his dumnbassery, they can just cut him
