IMO kyrie being poison is a media narrative
what do the players you respect say about him?
i don't have time to watch the "E" news of the sports world (ESPN) that much anymore, but i've seen interviews with guys like Iggy talking about how Kyrie passed up a supermax etc bc he's got a different agenda, perhaps an agenda not as simple as shutting up and dribbling?


Ya but he just disappeared randomly during a season without telling anyone anything. Also had an anti-semitic social media post that got him suspended. He was a flat earth conspirator. He's a good player when he chooses to be but he's earned some of the negative attention from the past. He may have outgrown some of it by now but he's made his mistakes.

What was your point then? You said it was a media narrative but he's clearly done off the wall things that have earned him a reputation.

i don't really care to get in to this but who crafted your supposed understanding of his motivations for his actions? do you know him? are you in his friend? can you verify if he is trolling?

or do we just know what bleacher report, SAS, woj, and shams say?

I just stated the facts that he walked away from a team mid season and wouldn't respond to anyone trying to reach out. And that he was suspended because of an anti-semitic post.

Reaves max is 12.5 becauease of Arenas clause first 1-3 years is 12.5 then can be 20-30year 4-5...something around these line not 100% sure
Dlo was seeking 20mil from Minny so that should stick with his shitty series vs Nuggets but Dlo is good to have for the regular season grind.
Beasley @16M is obviously overpay but its a trade asset that if we don't keep is gone. Rob can make magic happen at the Trade Deadline if he doesn't perform
Bamba @10M is over pay too but its an asset we can trade

Beasley and Bamba if they don't succeed will be flipped at the Trade Deadline but we need them to make Moves or you have to add Rui and Reaves into any trade
Beasley, Bamba, 1st can be flipped for someone 20-26M worth of cap.

Maybe package Beasley Bamba and a pick for a better, less expensive option. Someone below 20 mil - This would be the goal


Lakers can offer Reaves up to 4yr/$50 themselves or match another teams offer if he receives more than that.

Not quite sure those are the facts though, that’s what you read/heard from the outlets I just mentioned. But again I’ve never been a big fan of simplifying whole events spanning multiple days into one liners, so maybe when you phrase it like that it actually does sound quite factual..

I'll offer you 10k fg if you can prove what I said is wrong then.

Depending on how much D'Angelo and Rui sign for, either one of Bamba or Beasley are likely gone. The reality is those 2 are lower priority guys and if they end up being the reason why the team is over the 2nd apron and loses their TPMLE while also having a huge luxury tax cost, one of them is gone.
