2021 nba offseason draft free agency etc

houston would probably rather have irving retire on them than have to keep paying john wall. A win-win!

thats prob true lol

retirement and drifting into obscurity is exactly what kyrie deserves and probably needs

kyrie said he'll retire if hes traded his situation is more toxic than simmons imo

did he really? so he won't get the vax to play in home games and also won't accept a trade to a team that might be able to play him 75% of the time? he probably should retire, honestly

tbf he prob already has a reality show pitch locked and loaded xp

It's not like there's nothing good about Kyrie. Focusing on community shit might be good for him

Kyrie Irving is extremely generous:

· Bought George Floyd's mom a house
· Paid tuition for 9 HBCU students
· Bought 200+ kids Christmas presents
· Provided 250k Thanksgiving meals in NYC
· Donated $1.5M to WNBA players

It's sad to see him called selfish for a personal decision.

i mean its nick wright but still

Some NBA news:

There are a handful of Kyrie trades that potentially make sense for the Nets, Kyrie’s agents have made it known that Kyrie would simply *retire from the NBA* if Brooklyn were to trade him.

Celtics’ C/F Al Horford has tested positive for coronavirus and is in quarantine, team says. Celtics forward Jaylen Brown tested positive Friday.

Would love Kyrie to retire and do good works. Preferably right before GM6 of the ECF.

rich people tend to give a little money away im not going to canonize kyrie for doing the same, unless he gives me one million dollars

his delusions of grandeur are amazing

now he's going to quit the only thing that makes his opinions anymore notable than any other dumbass on the street

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahwhwhwhwhwhwhahahaha

it’s worth pointing out how thin the sourcing is here but still, lol

sounds like he just came up with that over the last few days lol

just seems like one of those guys that doesnt want to be told what to do and never thinks about a reason beyond "no ones gonna tell me what to do or think"

I believe the sourcing is people Kyrie told to tell that to the athletic

<3333

lmao that rules, honestly you gotta tip your hat to kyrie

sounds like hes ready to fold

It's funny that Kyrie wants to make a point but doesn't want to actually verbalize what his point is.

if i could direct all of my stupid ideas through shams i would too

he wants to be a voice for the unheard, without speaking

Wanna see Chotiner grill Adam Schefter next

So Zion still isn’t running yet

seems bad

i guess i've internalized a sense that zion is never gonna be fully healthy? doesn't feel good to recognize that!

Weren’t there a bunch of articles from physical therapists claiming that he’d probably never be fully healthy

This seems like a bad situation

those guys don't really seem like they would vibe at all without KD as a bridge.

what is there even to say

not even linking to the current kyrie quotes but fuck this guy

thank you for being the voice of the voiceless. without you we'd never hear what an anti-vaxxer thinks

“Ali would be proud of you”

this kanye irving saga just gets better and better!

if Kyrie decides to sit out because of this despite his team being a title favorite it might be the weirdest sports story I've seen in my lifetime

Ali would approve, because resisting getting a safe, effective vaccine, at no cost, to help prevent the spread of a virulent contagious disease that has killed millions of innocent people (to no good purpose) is exactly the same as resisting fighting an unjust war that killed millions of innocent people (to no good purpose).

meant to say "Ali G would be proud of you"

about 11,000 people have died of COVID in Brooklyn

ok fine you say that but how many have died of the vaccine??

Wow Simmons might not be vaccinated

lol that IG live! so Kyrie comes off as one of those guys that thinks he's way more intelligent then he is. He made absolutely no points and just rambled.

wow. still has a little hitch but the work he's put in is obvious.

still think he should prob not be taking 3s but those short jumpers could be very helpful

yikes that’s scary. still has the little hitch and is still fading back but the release seems noticeably quicker

Pretty obviously way better tbh

If he can have that wrist flick at the free throw line….

scary meaning scary for the league
