Not sure where to stick this so it's going in this thread, but this is pretty sweet:
this is the right move tbh. Poeltl, J-Rich and 25 for OG makes both teams better. Draft Duren or Mark Williams as a replacement and the team looks much better than last year.

Apparently Kyrie is going into FA and will consider other options... Early indications say LA and The Knicks are interested. I don't see how LA can shed enough salary to get in the running. He probably wouldn't consider us(and other warts) but, he'd certainly be a type of go-to scorer we need.
What a .
Tries to form a superteam with his "best friend" Durant, basically sacrifices a season because he's afraid to get a couple shots, alienates James Harden so now Brooklyn is stuck with the headcase that is Ben Simmons...and now he wants to bail on all that?
I hate these new stars in the NBA. Even Kobe was a piece of work, but he still stuck it out and got the job done for his team. Kyrie got carried to one le by LeBron and wants to act like he is NBA royalty.
Do not want.
I don't think it's that he wants to bail...I think it's that Brooklyn doesn't want to pay him max money.
Nor should they. Kyrie is a nutjob who would rather act like he is "woke" than actually play basketball which, by the way...he is being paid to do.
You don't pay max money to a guy who could just decide to not show up for work for any number of reasons. If we see another COVID e, guess who is gonna be stuck on the sideline again?
I'd rather the Spurs be stuck in the cellar for the next 5 years than have to cheer for a mouth-breater like Kyrie Irving. Great basketball talent, terrible person.
Ok...but I don't see how we can criticize Kyrie for 'bailing' on a team when that team doesn't want to pay him what other teams will pay...
I just saw a stat on ESPN.
Over the last 3 years, Kyrie Irving has played in 108 games for Brooklyn.
He has missed 123 games.
In that time...they have one playoff series win. A team with Durant, Irving, Harden (and now Simmons)....has one playoff series win.
Let's also not forget that he quit on Cleveland because he didn't want to be LeBron's baby brother, then quit on the Celtics because he wanted to form his own squad.
No one in their right mind should give this guy a max contract. But I'm sure there is some GM out there dumb enough to do it.
Most GM's in the league would give him the max (and I expect Brooklyn will eventually as well).
Cool. If they want to spend money to tank their team, that's not my problem.
True dat
Will be interesting to see what harden does. Sounds like he might take a shorter deal, which may have ramifications for Irving as well.
is kyrie signs with the spurs then the earth is truly flat. and, of course, we're going to be inundated with all kinds of kyrie to the lakers BS.
It’s funny that Harden and Kryie have fked themselves out of serious money by being hoes while a lesser Bradley Beal is likely to secure the bag because he looks to be handling his pending free agency in a mature manner.
Kyrie and Harden having to take money off the table is good for the league. Pendulum swing way to far in favour of divas.
Beal on a max deal will be the worst contract in the NBA in a few years though.
I feel like Marks is going to add some clauses in Kyries contract to keep him in check. The dude just doesn’t have his head right and it is messing with both the team and his own career. It sucks for Marks though bc Durant is a follower and has picked up that Kyrie mindset when it comes to some stuff. Like the dude didn’t care that they lost to the Celtics and refused to say Kyrie was an issue at all the whole year
Despite his decision to go to Golden State and easily get some rings....I really like Durant. Amazing player, goes about his business for the most part (except when he spouts off on Twitter). You can't argue with his will to win...he basically carried Team USA to the gold.
Kyrie on the other hand... off. It's sad that Durant has hitched his trailer to a guy who doesn't seem to really want to put in the hours.
And now Brooklyn is stuck with the decision to appease Kyrie...or risk losing Durant.
Yeah I agree. Durant always shows up to play and never makes excuses. He plays hurt and does whatwver his team requires him of winning.
There is an element of immaturity with him and that’s probably his biggest flaw.
Crazy we probably could have paired him with Kawhi/LMA summer 2016 if he was up for it.
DJ/Kahwi/Durant would have been beastly
Nice, I'll have to pick one up. I got the Duncan/Robinson version last year. A Parker/Ginobili one would be fire too.Not sure where to stick this so it's going in this thread, but this is pretty sweet:
Hollinger now reporting Charlotte's interest in trading one of their picks for Myles Turner. That seems like a more likely bet on both sides than Poeltl.
Makes more sense honestly since Turner is under control for 2 more years.
Poeltl needs to be extended and then signed at this point, or Spurs just keep him.
Turner is also younger, although he hasn't played a ton the last two years, and he fits the Hornets better. The Pacers aren't sitting on two other FRPs, too, so are more likely to trae. As far as I know, the Spurs looking to trade to Charlotte has not been substantiated.
They would definitely have to give up both picks to even get Indy to pick up the phone to begin the conversation
they would still have to move Hayward though to free up cap space and resign Miles Bridges. Them trading a pick for Turner just means they have even more salary on their cap
Charlotte just agreed with Steve Clifford to return as head coach...
Turner and Jak will both be FAs in 2023.
