Can't wait until he's officially someone else's problem. Also can't wait until he ruins Brooklyn.

what will happen when the team goes on a losing streak....will kyrie call out the young guys?

No, he will call CBS to apologize and then publish the apology.

Hope no one joins him and they just suck haha!

as has been rumored for months....really curious how/If kyrie will be different with the "young" nets than the "young" celtics. He certainly hasnt shown me anything that he will act differently

He took his next best deal after the Cs moved on from him.

Good luck, Kyrie.

Just kidding.

[CelticSooner]

I wonder if he’ll truly be happy there or will he be back to Grumpy Drew after a season?

Regardless how fun is the Atlantic division going to be?

Kinda surprised it's going to be the full 4 years. I was expecting him to go the 2+1 route to get the 10-yr vet max in 2 years.

Tampering! j/k

Good one, O - tp!

Curious as to if this all can turn into a multi team sign and trade.

REally makes me think he threw those last 4 games against the bucks.  The guy was shooting terribly.  Why push a team towards the finals then be forced to try to come back.

Well, he wouldn't be the first ex Cavs player to quit on their team during playoffs.

So basically, we gave up a BKN Pick to get him and now he's going to BKN himself. Lol

Yup, TP!!

Good riddance. You weren't the only problem this past season, but you were a significant part of it. I was on your side all year long until the end of the year and the playoffs when you gave up on this team, let alone everything that has come out since.

Can't wait to see the young'uns, Hayward, and Kemba pour it on you this next season as you implode another good young team with your incessant unhappiness and dissatisfaction.

Kyrie was always one to talk smart, not act it.

He didn't even talk smart. He tried to sound smart, using big words and convoluted, run-on sentences, but it was a bunch of hogwash.

Guess he decided to cash out due to his injury history and take the guaranteed money now. Kind of like Paul George did with Oklahoma City. Especially being a guard. A guy like KD can rupture his Achilles and still come back as a Dirk Nowitzki type with teams still willing to invest max money into him, but that's much less realistic for a guard if a major injury happens.

Can't wait to see the young'uns, Hayward, and Kemba pour it on you this next season as you implode another good young team with your incessant unhappiness and dissatisfaction.

Let's just make sure Gordon has those ankles taped extra tight.
