The Kyrie Irving free agency thread(to sign 4yr/$141M w/Nets page 105)

[Fafnir]

Woj said this morning that BKN doesn't want Kyrie as a solo act and would probably just stick with Russell if it was just Kyrie coming.

So I wonder if Kyrie to BKN isn't a done deal on that front if KD or someone else isn't coming. He might end up pivoting to somewhere else.

Wouldn't that suck having to move back into the house he just moved out of and to turn the moving trucks around just as they got to Brooklyn

I’m sure the Knicks would take him.

And why should I care if he leaves?

[Never Nervous Pervis]

2nd team All-NBA is nothing to frown at.

[action781]

A big question mark on his career that he has to try to rectify

[nickagneta]

Nothing.

It’s amazing how many more epic games IT4 has then Irving did egos suppose to be this amazing superstar.

In terms of individually, a fair bit

As a team? ...

I think statistically his last season was his best.

In terms of team achievements, helped the team get the 2nd seed in 2018 before getting injured, team made it to the ECF. Led the team to a 2nd round exit this year. Decent year 1, Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ty year 2.

That's basically what he's achieved to date. He unfortunately was unable to lead us to great heights and his departure was the first domino that has led to the re-tooling of our team.

I'm done with the Kyrie bashing though. I think it just makes us look petty, acting like a jilted lover. If he doesn't want to play here so be it. Let's move on. Players come and go. I thank him for his two years and move on. We can boo him for rejecting us and failing us when he comes back here as a visiting player.

He came here to lead his own team and he left town with no team...

That's all he accomplished here.

16-game winning streak that willed the Celtics to a #2 seed.

Telling 76ers fans to "smd".

Beating the Lakers in LA.

Continue instilling fear to Steph Curry and the Warriors.

Carrying the Celtics (with Horford) when the young duds weren't getting it done.

Yeah, you can't leave if it's your team but I guess he learned that from LeBron....

I agree. Liked him as a player, supported him and wish he stayed. But, it didn't pan out so time to move on. If he wants to be p---ed off and miserable, let him. Thank you for the 2 years and good luck.

Yeah, this is where I'm at too. Bummed that it ended so badly, and pretty disappointed in how it went down, but what can you do.

He's gone now. I'll still like the things he does on the court, because some of them are quite frankly freakish, but he's gone now (or at least, 99%)
