What is contract control over Kyrie Irving? Honestly... I would be more scared of having him long term than short. I can at least dump him pretty easily.

All you’re doing is highlighting yet another reason why another team isn’t going to offer a big deal to acquire him in a trade …

That poster was saying that teams would be lining up to get Kyrie for the cap relief and I was agreeing your premise that the majority of teams that would want Kyrie are way over the cap anyways to the point that they wouldn't get cap relief even if they let him walk. For the teams that aren't, the FA next year isn't even that good anyways to justify giving up what it would take to get his expiring contract.

Oh ok ..you were adding on to my post ..got you …my bad I was confused

Negotiating through the media … I don’t know tho tbh Buddy Heild AND Myles Turner might actually be a better return than Kyrie just by himself

I re-phrased it right before you posted. Dudes are thinking that the Simmons and Kyrie one is the same when it's just not the case. You don't have much leverage when a player wants out and is on an expiring.

Who said I wasn't?

The only reason you get Kyrie is to go mercenary on winning a chip not because you actually want him.

And how many teams are willing to do that and would the Nets be willing to accept what type of packages those teams are offering? Don't use the Toronto/Kawhi example because the Spurs didn't want to tank which is why they specifically took that package when there were better offers out there.

That mercenary shyt only works when you have someone willing to by in and Kyrie isn't necessarily that type.

Dame's Modelo ads are hilarious.

You can tell they were really trying their best to talk about his accolades but they just ain't there.

I think Kyrie trade value is fukked and he gets a trade kicker too... Which is absurd. He just burned bridges with three NBA franchises. Excellent work of his agent after the exit in Boston.

Kawhi situation is completely different and he was not only a top 10 player, but he was the NBA's best two-way wing when healthy. Which is more valuable in today's NBA.

It's probably why they want a king's ransom for KD, because they got to take Kyrie to the Dollar General.
