No way he ends up on The Lakers. Laker don’t have anything of value to offer.
Nets overplayed their hand.
Let him sit
Kyrie Irving care big fat money then quit and his team or fastany basketball team
Kyrie to the Clippers for a team full a load management
Kyrie wants a 4 year deal, no way someone will risk that he too unpredictable
Kyrie could fit the bulls,lakers,clippers,bucks!
I want to see Kyrie in LA. Dallas would not be a good fit since Luka is ball dominant.
One of the most OVERRATED players, cute handles and A shot” a decade ago – kyrie has never even been a to[ 3 pg ever since he been in the league- and peeps on air that back him up are just as loosers
Finish the contract, then go to whatever team you want, if they want you
Let him sit for the rest of the season. Don't reward him and trade him so he can have a shot at a championship! NOT this year!!
That was everyone’s first thought JJ
They suspended him over nothing then act mad when he wants to be traded
Currently 4th seed and now he's planning to quit on his team, after sabotaging a few seasons with his selfish antics.
Useless talent
I stand with kyrie🎯

He's going to be a LAKER LET'S GO!!
Blessings 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
Stephen A is right, Kyrie is one of the top 15 players, pay him.
KD was criticize for going to Warriors, now he is critic on leaving. Durant didn't like the issues with Draymond Green and moved on.
Kyrie responsibility is to his value and economics. How much longer will he play. Kyrie love basketball and can play at any park in the world, but how long does he have to make the money he wants. Which can help his community, future organizations he may want to invest in. Coached,players, etc Must be mindful not to take a penny from a black man pocket. Many have slaved, invent, create wealth and received zero for their HARD work. Let them achieve anything they can.
If players not getting it, somebody else is. Are they cutting him out of guaranteed money to spite him?
Who knows.
Blessings 🙏🏾
Who cares
BUCKS, CELTS, SIXERS happy to have 1 less team to worry about.. 🤣🤦♂️🤣
The Nets brass shouldn't trade him & let him sit out until this year's up & then let him go out & find a contract!! Then he won't be the Nets headache anymore!!!🤔🤔🤔
Rose like a team that has no rings like me .don't hate on us let's go JENNY!!!
He ain't sitting out the season. Stop it.
Hey now khawi an all star hey hey ! Hey now he is pretty good he pretty pretty GOOD !
Goldenstate warriors should trade for him
Stephen A actually giving real facts 😳
If they did plan on a long term deal then they should trade him
These are all the repercussions of the stupid "anti-Semitism" fiasco. It isn't about the amount of money. This is about long-term contracts. Superstars can sign one and two-year deals because they have long-term shoe contracts that guarantee them financial security. Kyrie no longer has one.
The Lakers will offer 2 years, and he'll turn it down. If the Clippers' ridiculous owner offers them 4 years, he'll take it. Kyrie has kids and no long-term prospects. That's the math at work here. Joe Tsai brought him in, but expects Kyrie to win him a ring before he'll commit. They're at an impasse.
As I’ve said the whole time Balmer can find 198 million in his couch cushions (83 Billion net worth) while Jeanie Buss is the “poorest” owner in NBA.
Lakers missed out on Ty Lue, Caruso back, and DeRozan bc this BS of “wanting to match it exactly with LeBron’s contract.” That’s such a cop out for luxury tax reasons!
In luxury tax era having the “poorest” owner in NBA is a HUGE disadvantage especially when the person in your building who owns other team is worth more then any owner in sports!
LeBron Kyrie Love (not close to AD) with some shooters around them with better health luck and KD not softest move ever 3Peat from 2015-17! It’s worth the risk!
Lakers have zero realistic shot at Kyrie unless they find 3rd team to send players to Nets (Durant don’t care about 27/29 unprotected) or Kyrie comes out and says “I will only resign next year with lakers.” He wants his money though (4 years 198 million bc if nets offered him that he’d still be there).
Also Clippers were always top4 candidates to land Kyrie Woj just fake breaking news.
The drama king is back
Stephen A shut tf up!!!!!!! You’re always so quick to condemn black athletes for empowering themselves! “Idiotic” never should’ve come out of your blasphemous mouth!!! I thought we would have to wait until Monday before you took your foot out your mouth. This is what sellout looks like!!!
As a rockets fan I appreciate kyrie requesting a trade hopefully Kd is next
Teams is a broad statement. There are teams that would love to have him.
Vanvleet, Siakam, 3 1st Rounds for KD and Kyrie
This dude is the worst teammate
Joe Tsai tried to make Kyrie scream “Toby” and now he wants off his field now. Kyrie is a dude who doesn’t take slights or disrespect lightly, I can tell. He’ll smile and internalize. He’s far from perfect, but I knew he wasn’t going to be a Net, going into next season. Even if they won a chip somehow, he’d do what he did in Cleveland.
If Joe Tsai sold the team, he would stay. His issue is with that dude specifically and his 6 step list of bullshyt, basically wanting Kyrie to kneel and kiss the ring.
Okay, who's Jalen's barber??? That hairdo is🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏾
I love when he say that’s what I’m being told every time he make up stuff
Perhaps he'll sit out the rest of his career. That'll save some poor team a lot of money and it'll save the public from his weird behavior. He's talented cancer.
Kyrie looking out for Brooklyn by telling them to trade him or he gone walk this summer ….. what if he said nothing and walked this summer ?🤔
