I swear this dude is annoying, Zach please call Ben Taylor
Why does Kyrie NEED a leverage play? Dallas traded ALL of their depth and defense to get Kyrie. Losing him for nothing would be CATASTROPHIC for Dallas and send the wrong message to Luka. The Mavs need leverage not Kyrie.
Can the Suns trade for him? If they hard cap, which this would do, can they still sign minimums?
KD really building a super duper team 💀
the suns would be the dumbest mthfckas ever if they took on kyrie and recreated the brooklyn debacle
Nick has to be the most annoying person in basketball media…Espn please send him to cover golf or something.
These clowns are salty. They hate Kyrie that bad😔.
The fact is Brooklyn didn't hold their end of the deal. That isn't Kyries and KD's fault.
Brooklyn was supposed to sign Kyrie to a max along with KD but listen to the National Media and reneged. 🤷🏾♂️
They hate Kyrie because the Media can't control him.
They hate him for leaving LeBron, his Flat Earth comment, his stance against the vaccine and his Hebrews to Negros Post.
They were hoping that if they say it wasn't a market enough times that it would become true.😂
So Brooklyn lied🤷🏾♂️ Now KD and Kyrie will do it in Phoenix 🙌🏾 Not mad at all.
Wanna talk about the Mavs now huh?
Cavs should move on and try to sign Brook Lopez and a couple of other role players.
The Kyrie hate is CRAZY! Bro still top 5 pg to me.
please keep Friedell as far away from Phoenix as possible, thanks
Makes zero sense. Lakers actually have something to trade to Mavs for him and Suns have zero money for him. Fake report.
THESE GUYS SALTY!!!!!!!!!!!!………. .LETS GOOOOOOOOOO SUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kyrie agent putting in work on this one 😂
YO ZAK, WHY CAN'T U BE THE OWNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you guys get another reporter to report on the bulls instead of Nick freidell? I feel like he’s spot on about the sentiment about things on the fanbase especially ownership but my god he is atrocious when it comes to his actual basketball knowledge it’s so bad maybe give some bulls best writers a chance zach because this guy is the biggest flip flop you will ever see he was the same guy who wanted to read Jimmy butler and Lauri MARKANNEN and viewed them as players who will never be impactful and refuses to accept that there are only a handful of players who are as elite on the ball and off the ball on crazy efficiency as zach lavine with decent on ball defence this concept of players winning determining their value is so bizzare as well by his same logic kcp is better than zach lavine i would have loved to hear his thoughts on devin booker before Chris Paul as there are tweets of him saying that devin booker will never be a winning player this just shows you zach that you need to improve who you being onto your platform
It’s in Nick Friedel contract that he cannot be on TV or anything ESPN with mentioning “KD” or “Kyrie”
Phoenix don't do unless it's a really cheap one year contract!
Kyrie Irving can only sign the veteran minimal for the Suns lol
What kind of leverage play though? All the Suns can offer is a vet min, there's no bidding war. I don't think they can even do a S&T for him otherwise it restricts em even more.
Nick Friedell giggling and laughing the whole time about I don't know. He's the worst analyst ever. Who can sure there and listen to that.
We were upset in Denver when Arturas left. Not so much any more.
😂😂this is sooooooo weak😅😅😅😅😅😅😅Kyrie and KD can t win sh@t without beeing in a team with at leasst 4 all stars
Hey Lowe I stopped in and liked your video. I also subscribed 👍🏾. Thank you for your work.
Can the dude not just leave KD alone?
Nick is weird 😂😂
Suns are going all in on offense 😮💨
these guys seem like they have a personal problem with some players. this aint fun to watch. We gone need some new guys to report ESPN
If Kyrie goes to the Suns. We won't count a championship ring for none of those star players.!!! Some of y'all gave Kevin Durant a pass. He stole two finals MVPs from Steph Curry or LeBron James. Is the Suns win we all will have to literally clown them for winning. We shouldn't stand for this type of fuckery😤😩🤣
This is an obvious Leverage play by Kyrie but it’s not a very good one 😂. He is just trying to bring his value up so he doesn’t get lowballed by the mavs. The hilarious thing is Suns have no cap space or comparable trade assets to offer for kyrie and everyone knows that 😂 they were ready to trade ayton for THJ and Richaun Holmes. Get real, mavs aren’t helping them get kyrie.
I don't drink alcohol, don't smoke tobacco, don't take drugs and dope
How can they sign him? They are in the luxury tax and this would only work if it’s a sign and trade
Kyrie, Beal, Booker & KD plus 11 Equipment Mangers = Best Offense & Worst Defense of all time. And no chip. 😂
Pg – kyrie irving
Sg – Devin booker
Sf – Bradley beal
Pf – Kevin Durant
Where is the defense?
Where the ball stoppers?
I couldn't watch when I saw you had that buffoon Fridell on your show.
KD & Kyrie reunion; not likely, fellaa barely speak…
