Kyrie Responds to Being Fined

[tazzmaniac]

Kyrie is awesome, absolutely love this dude.

The people who don't like him or say bad things about him are worthless trash. Don't get at me, I don't care what you think.

lol

Is that a Kyrie burner account???

KD must have taught him about burner accounts.

Bryan Colangelo: Psshhh... amateurs.

Im in the minority but I do think it could have been colangelos wife who made those tweets. But yeah that whole episode was funny

It might have been his wife but I doubt that he didn't know about it.

Nothing worse than a fake woke guy.

He’s just the worst. Or he’s totally oblivious. Either way, he’s violating his collectively bargained contract which is just an awful look for the VP of the players union.

Ainge should have traded Kyrie after his first couple of media sessions when he was in Boston. You could clearly see he was a nut job. A guy who talks like that, no matter how great a talent he is, and for Kyrie he's not much of a talent because is total lack of effort on D combined with his ball hogging offensive arrogance is ultimately a net negative, can never be a guy leading your team or be a guy who is part of the leadership of your team - just cannot happen, whether you think Durant of AD might come because of it.  It won't work - ever.

It was a colossal error of judgment on Ainge's part, or Ainge and ownership. You could have gotten a lot from, probably from Brooklyn, had you traded him when you should have. The team that year actually played better with Rozier at the point. Probably because while Rozier definitely has some loose cannon attributes about him, he's not a total arse like Kyrie.

In retrospect it's really interesting to imagine what would have happened if they had traded Kyrie after the 2018 playoffs. What could they have gotten for him?  How would that have changed the trajectory in 2019?

Saw someone raise a good point.  Instead of complaining about the fine money & trying to make a statement, couldn't Kyrie just directly be donating himself to these marginalized communities (which he may be doing some already, who knows)?

[csfansince60s]

He & the Nets had been fined 25K by the NBA for failure to comply with the league's media requirements.

He sure is something else, huh?

Kyrie is very woke and very deep

The combination of his self-absorbed petulance and Hayward bad luck set this franchise back 3-4 years.

But he's deep and he's woke, man...gotta respect that.

Amazing how presumptuous so many athletes are thinking that their athletic/physical prowess transcends every level of their existence and being (personal, intellectual, cultural and social).

Kyrie is very generous with his money. There are many flaws to point out (just like everyone), but his charitable work is not one of them.

On mobile so I don’t have links, but off the top of my head he’s donated $1.5 million to WNBA players who had to sit out the season for health reasons (iirc the WNBA ownership were very stringent or didn’t offer any paid COVID sit outs) and hundreds of thousands of dollars to food pantries in the past few months alone.

He seems to really have gone off the deep end since leaving us

[Phantom255x]

Regardless how you feel about the media, calling them "pawns" is really disrespectful

I understand that but why is he making a stink here & then taking the extra step to insult the media?

Kyrie the Artiste! Classic 🤣

  [dang]. I’d guesstimate you’re calling over 95 percent of die hard Celts fans worthless trash. Entitled to your opinion.

[dannyboy35]

  We were so much better with Rozier. Played hard on d. Great in the passing lanes and knew his role. In that finals run when the offense ran through Al mostly,  Terry had MULTIPLE games with zero turnovers. He couldn’t create much on his own and he knew it. He was fantastic for us at that point.
  I was really hoping for a trade. I didn’t hate Kyrie at that point but we were just clearly better without him and man ..what we could have added.
  Danny is my favorite Celtic ever and I believe HE was always our best asset and still is. Not Brad Stevens. My god. But I cringe how he and Brad let Kyrie disrespect the logo and his teammates more than once in front of a microphone.
   Think of how crazy it is to complain about your coworkers to so   many people and come work with that person each day. Just a Jerk.

Great to see that the Nets first season with both KD and Kyrie is off to a great start.

[jpotter33]

Banged up knee or not, I take Kemba 100% of the time over Kyrie, even if slightly downgrading the overall talent. It’s worth it to not have to hear this sophomoric, faux-intellectual non-sense on a regular basis.
