Like I said when Harden went the 76ers he gonna waste him time
Kyrie Irving opts in.... Will stay with Nets
- Thread starter Morethan1
- Start date
Can't wait to see another Lebron super team crash and burn.
Every LeBron "super team" has won the NBA championship.
You ain't getting anything better than Kyrie. Even half a season of Kyrie.
One thing about Russ was that nikka played, no matter what. Gave us bum ass minutes, but he was available
You say that as if it was a good thing.

but really, this ain't happening because no way the nets are gonna let Durant walk/request a trade because they let Kyrie go

There were reports saying that Jimmy would have recruited Kyrie to Chicago had they committed to him. I believe the Miami being a landing spot for him noise out there
Lol you know me. I stay shytting on Russ bro.
I’m just saying, if we are able to fleece the Nets, I want him to actually play.
This is more Klutch propaganda. It’s over Bron Bron, you’re stuck with Russ

Jesus Christ do y’all think before you post? Why would Klutch put this out here? It’s obvious a leverage play from Kyrie’s camp but yet you think it’s Klutch
It’s entirely possible Kyrie opts out.
The problem is that it seems like he’s holding Brooklyn hostage for that 250, and if Brooklyn folds, I don’t see Kyrie turning down that much money. That’s 250 M’s y’all.
Brooklyn will likely acquiesce to his demands and he signs.
I think there’s an 80% chance he re-signs.
That other 20% though…

This is a negotiation ploy. LeBron doing Kyrie a solid

Look in the mirror and shoot the 1st thing you see
They won a game in 2017. Bron got swept after Kyrie leftAnd they proven they can lose and get swept together too
I doubt this happen
Alright, all jokes aside, this is how I think the Lakers could pull this off (this is contingent upon Kyrie actually wanting to play for LAL):
1. Kyrie opts OUT (not in, like most people say), becoming a free agent.
2. Opting out, Kyrie contacts the Lakers and tells them he wants in, so they need to do whatever they need to do to get out from under Russ. This has to be done on the low, so that other teams don't move to stop the Lakers from moving Russ to prevent the acquisition of Irving, like Popovich does.
3. The Lakers IMMEDIATELY move Russ to whatever team needs an expiring contract, most likely Charlotte, and sweeten the deal with the 2027 pick. Some of y'all ain't gonna like that, but a potential future with AD and Irving leading the Lakers for the next 4 years is more important than some dude that's currently in middle school.
4. Kyrie gets 30-36 million, and the Lakers have 11-17 million left to fill out the roster. Bring back Melo and Dwight, and look at Monk like this:
A roster of Bron, AD, Kyrie, Melo, Dwight, Reeves, Stanley, Monk* and some 3 and D guys is championship caliber in this NBA climate
Alternatively, Kyrie can opt-IN, but this would require the Nets to work with the Lakers to get rid of one of their premiere players. This is clearly the more difficult option and one that, although possible, runs the risk of other teams getting involved, or Brooklyn not moving. And the problem is that it would have to involve Russ, who Brooklyn has no desire for, and would piss off Durant and maybe cause him to move.
Opting in requires too many moving parts, but it's *technically* possible.
Sign and trade triggers the hard cap and makes it basically impossible for the Lakers to fill out the roster, so that's out.
