Really goes to show you that being a star matters in the league

Kyrie, a known malcontent wherever he goes, demands a trade and then ends up traded less than 3 full days later lol. And I'm sure some team will still give him a 200M extension even if he pouts the rest of this season with Dallas...

KD will probably demand a trade soon and watch, he'll get traded too a day later

It's becoming a players league for sure with guys like Irving, Simmons, etc. pretty much leading the movement with all the "hold outs", "trade requests/demands", etc.

Let’s not let Harden off the hook either… Guess the Nets are just a magnet for the malcontents. Lol.  KD, Harden, Kyrie, Simmons…. What an unlikable bunch. Yeesh.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Yep. To a slightly lesser extent, Crowder is also doing it this year with the Suns.

Kawhi Leonard and Anthony Davis did as well in the past, leading to their trades

Several acquaintances of Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant allegedly “aggressively confronted” members of the Indiana Pacers staff after their game at the FedExForum last month.

The group, according to The Athletic’s Bob Kravitz and Sam Amick, then allegedly trained a red laser on the Pacers staff from a slow-moving SUV. Morant was reportedly in the SUV, and the Pacers staff and additional security believed the laser was attached to a gun — though it's unclear who was controlling it.

“We felt we were in grave danger,” one person told The Athletic anonymously out of fear of retaliation.

What is it with Morant and his family/acquaintances??

A few weeks ago his dad and Shannon Sharpe were beefing at the Lakers game too lol

There's a common theme going on with the Grizzlies players (well, Morant and Brooks). Don't seem like good people

There's no way the Lakers can make a strong enough offer to KD. They couldn't even compete for Kyrie with their assets. Miami on the other hand, yeah, they would have a shot.

I don’t think Miami has a shot either.  They don’t have the picks available to trade.

I'd say the favorites are Memphis and Phoenix.

KD and Ja would be a very easy to hate duo.

I don't think Brooklyn is trading Durant (at least not until the summer). The trade they made with Dallas was about winning now, not getting assets or they would have taken the Clippers trade.

Sixers lose! Thanks Knicks

Old friend Fournier helping us out with a big game. I will say, this Knicks team is very pesky (as we saw firsthand recently too). I would NOT want to face them first round in the playoffs

Nuggets about to lose tonight too. We will be alone atop the league standings again after tonight, at least for now.
