he has a player option though right?
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 17:24 (two years ago) link
yeah will be interesting to see what happens if they cant agree on an extension tho, kinda doubt the market for his services is too hot
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 17:38 (two years ago) link
hes worth one year flyer with a team option for 2nd year but you better have a strong team culture in place

that whole comment seems like a long way of saying 'no'
― he was eating Vaseline like it was a bunch of cheeseburgers (Spottie), Wednesday, 11 May 2022 17:46 (two years ago) link
seems almost like those comments were designed to alienate kyrie
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 17:48 (two years ago) link
pretty funny that weve gone from kyrie saying hes looking forward to managing the team to this
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:02 (two years ago) link
that may have been the comment that finally put them over the edge lol
― he was eating Vaseline like it was a bunch of cheeseburgers (Spottie), Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:06 (two years ago) link
yeah was thinking the same
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:07 (two years ago) link
vibes not weird enough in LA?
I would like to see Kyrie Irving on the Clippers. LAC can give all BKN ever needed: KD + Depth, and LAC gets a theoretically higher ceiling guy + super popular/marketable figure to bring into new arena.— A.K (@Kungu_NBA) May 11, 2022
what would they be trading im confused? kawhi or pg? both those guys are better than kyrie
― he was eating Vaseline like it was a bunch of cheeseburgers (Spottie), Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:14 (two years ago) link
he was thinking depth
They have a lot of moveable contracts, but interesting package could be Marcus Morris/Norm Powell/Jason Preston— A.K (@Kungu_NBA) May 11, 2022

deal doesnt exactly jump off the page but might be the type of thing the nets will have to do
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:21 (two years ago) link
i mean kyrie is worth more than that lol
― he was eating Vaseline like it was a bunch of cheeseburgers (Spottie), Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:22 (two years ago) link
someones gotta be willing to pay tho
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:22 (two years ago) link
honestly they between kyrie and simmons they might want to just burn down barclays for the insurance money
even back when the celtics traded a nice first and an injured guy for kyrie he had a terrible reputation and its only gotten much worse
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:24 (two years ago) link
haha
― he was eating Vaseline like it was a bunch of cheeseburgers (Spottie), Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:24 (two years ago) link
a situation where you go from having 3 top 20 guys to having KD, norm powell, a morris, and seth curry is magnificence defined
― Clay, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:27 (two years ago) link
the nets: excellence personified
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:28 (two years ago) link
xp the nets have ben simmons too!
― he was eating Vaseline like it was a bunch of cheeseburgers (Spottie), Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:33 (two years ago) link
yes that is baked into the list of basketball players I was listing
― Clay, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:34 (two years ago) link
pretty cool that all the teams left are filled with homegrown talent
― he was eating Vaseline like it was a bunch of cheeseburgers (Spottie), Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:34 (two years ago) link
its so good to see them flourish and the superteams perish
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:36 (two years ago) link
turns out building and growing into something together actually works
― he was eating Vaseline like it was a bunch of cheeseburgers (Spottie), Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:41 (two years ago) link
kyrie is worth more than that
doesn't matter. what matters is who has the most leverage in the trade and if the nets are trying hard to escape a bad position the other GM would be a fool not to use their leverage by underbidding
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:42 (two years ago) link
the superteams are perishing because half the players that want to superteam are checked out of basketball
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:45 (two years ago) link
turns out team play was always more important
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 18:47 (two years ago) link
i had absolutely no idea that sean marks was from new zealand until i watched the clip in that tweet

except the celtics and superstar mercenary al horford, shameful
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 11 May 2022 19:16 (two years ago) link
big al is an honorary celtics lifer

the line for superteam is when you have 2 all-stars who didn't come up with the team imo
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 19:22 (two years ago) link
kd warriors were not a superteam by this definition and i'm okay with that. you're allowed to add one guy to your homegrown team no matter how good he/they are
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 19:23 (two years ago) link
see i feel like they were, being a superteam has a lot to do with just doing cheap shit stacking the deck and so forth
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 19:25 (two years ago) link
also kd just being there for a few years then peacing like nbd was very superteam
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 19:26 (two years ago) link
hmm maybe
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 19:26 (two years ago) link
never fully committed to the project just wanted a ring
also they way they had to gut their team to get him, being top heavy is a core superteam characteristic
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 19:28 (two years ago) link
actually my def would make the bulls a superteam this year so yeah let's scratch that
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 19:28 (two years ago) link
superteam needs two superstars i think regular allstars wont do
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 19:29 (two years ago) link
the only current superteams are nets and lakers. clippers kinda were but kawhi doesnt play enough. everyone else has gotten their guys reasonably
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 19:30 (two years ago) link
feel like the basic metric is does adding this person make the team feel less cool and a little gross, by that measure the warriors were a superteam and kd a merc
― Clay, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 19:30 (two years ago) link
clippers are a superteam kawhi being injured doesnt matter the dead is done, and they mortgaged their future to do it which is classic
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 19:31 (two years ago) link
by that metric are the sixers a superteam now with harden?
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 19:31 (two years ago) link
kd dubs def a super team but the league was dumb and let it happen due to the cap jump and choosing not to smooth it. i think the collective bargaining agreement has worked otherwise. we're seeing it now.
― he was eating Vaseline like it was a bunch of cheeseburgers (Spottie), Wednesday, 11 May 2022 19:33 (two years ago) link
id say philly are a normal team with some superteam characteristics, but if they deal for another guy theyre a full superteam
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 19:33 (two years ago) link
yeah the leagues in good shape only a couple big market teams feel gross and they play too gross to win so it doesnt matter much
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 19:34 (two years ago) link
the process had some resonance with superteamdom just weird bottom line bad vibes shit
