I think these basketball superstars know that the next collective bargaining agreement is going to lead to a lockout by the owners and they had better get get their Max Deals done while they can. The handwriting is on the wall.
KD is simply having a tantrum because the Nets wouldn’t sign Kyrie long term, it seems both KD and Kyrie are unstable , not team players at all. I wouldn’t trade the farm for either player, or they’ll dump on your team next!
I got a theory remember when KD said the chips in GS felt hollow? And then he sees his old buddy Steph crying because he won one with the team he was able to help build. Maybe that reminded KD of what he really wanted. A championship that is truly challenging, where you have to grow and evolve to succeed. But I guess KD still hasn’t realized jumping teams will never bring that satisfaction
To the entire NBA, regarding “contracts”: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." -Inigo Montoya The Princess Bride
I don't know why people like to discount that chip. Like, *every* team was on equal footing. No traveling, no home court advantage, zero distractions. Just pure basketball. If anything that was the most *fair* playoffs since there were no loud fans affecting play and refereeing.
KD wants out because he left a first class organization focused on team basketball and joined a high school drama gym class. He isn't getting younger and KD got no patience for drama now.
These star players all think they’re great future GMs. But the last 4 teams to play for the title have almost entirely been build through the draft. IMO that’s a safer bet than mortgaging your future by trading for “superstars”.
Bucks and GS built through the draft. Lakers were assembled in 2 years, almost all free agents and trades. THT and Kuz were only good draft picks left on the team when they won. The best way to win is the draft and sprinkle in the right trade( Jru Holiday ) But both ways work. Draft is more proven.
You cannot apply adult logic to children. These guys have been coddled since grade school, why does anyone act so surprised when they act like the way they do? Anybody with kids will tell you that making a child make a promise only ends up with disappointment for all.
Bad coaching? Blame the players Gut the young talent on the team for 2 guys and not much help off the bench and no size down low? Blame the players Dumb Covid mandate? Blame Kyrie #OldMediaGotsToGo
You guys should know what ring chasing is. Ring chasing is getting a championship the easiest way possible. The best way to ring chase is to join a superteam. Stop trying to make it sound as simple as competing for a championship without a superteam. Nobody but LeBron wanted to be in the bubble. Most players had to be there to make up for the revenue loss caused by the lockdown. That is why there's an asterisk beside LeBron's bubble championship.
Bubble rings don’t count. What if the COVID never existed, and we were playing the typical home court adv, over hyped sort of NBA playoffs. Then I told you that we’d move all games to an undisclosed location, void of fans, the labor of travel, and sleeping in your own bed. Win-win right? Best team should take it? WRONG. Biggest factor in professional sports is MOMENTUM. Always has been, always will be. These are already prolific athletes, and by playoffs, the best at that. YOU NEED AN ADVANTAGE. If all the idiosyncrasies of home court weren’t enough, gaining the BIG MO from your home crowd typically is (ask any opp playing vs GS). Y’all need to stop acting like the reverse isn’t equally true. If you’re not performing before people that love/hate you, THE MF PRESSURE IS OFF--and pressure, is what determines greatness.
Im not a fan of how dismissive everyone is about Kyrie’s intelligence and character. It’s very unbecoming of the sports media. Everyone piles on a narrative when theirs anything political in nature involved. It’s weak minded. Every situation takes critical thinking not your instinctual bias.
Joe Tsai can’t afford to have people laughing at him at Communist Party meetings. Once Kyrie said that about running the team, I knew he was gone. To keep him would be considered unpatriotic with the Chinese communists. And that’s where his money comes from.
Thank you Dan. These guys are spoiled brats who think they know better than their coach, GM, owner. Durant couldn't have found a better place to land than GS and bailed. That's not something he's EVER going to find again: a solid organization with a great GM, coach and players who are all in to win. That doesn't just happen without a lot of work and dedication consistency and time. Good luck fellas. Honor your contracts, your teammates, your coach, your owner, your fans and work your ass off and THEN see what happens.
The Nets appear to have K.D., Kyrie, Ben, Joe Harris, Seth Curry as their starting 5. That's not bad compared to many other teams. For example, my home town tv team the Orlando Magic.
KD, Harden, Kyrie, Russ, all these cupcake 🧁 cry babies will never win anything. Only solid character guys like Steph, Giannis, weird Kwahi will win. Oh and Lebrun, because well he a good dude too.
Haven't watch Dan in years but I popped back in. Who's this Mari dude? Bruh stop raising your hand like a child. Dan sounds annoyed with you. And when called upon, freaking contribute and stop telling jokes. I'm trying to save your job brother
I really dont give a damn about the owners or their teams. Its not them who make me watch basketball or the NBA. I only care for the players who have given me so much joy thru the years. Im fine with whatever KD wants to do, his happiness is most important for him, right?
It so sad that people don’t see that his co star essentially said I would prefer to play with LeBron. It’s hard to rely on a guy who believes he can win with another player. Kyrie hopefully plays well and more games than not next year. If he has a bad season I don’t think he will be viewed as an elite player anymore.
@@Troll-vj6sy It worked with the Warriors. It’s like with anything when your a professional, you go to the best companies in the industry. Unless a small company or in his case team is willing to pay you substantially more. Like Dame Lillard.
@@mikejp2008 that’s stupid. There is so much more involved. Imagine if he went back to the Warriors, a team that just won.

He already works for the biggest company in the world in his professional and makes the maximum amount of allowed
@@Troll-vj6sy yes but he’s already one of 14 players in history that have multiple finals MVPs and a league MVP. He’s operating on a different level. If he joins another top tier team and he wins back to back Chips and finals MVP how would he not be ahead of Bron and Steph? He wins the head to head battle with Bron 2-1 in finals same chips same finals MVPs.
@@mikejp2008 he wouldn’t even be on the same level with them because the only way he ever won anything is by joining one of those guys. If he ran back and did it again just because things got a little difficult in Brooklyn I would have to agree with Charles Barkley and call him a bus rider. I think most people would.
i dont think the nets can get devin booker. there is an nba rule where you cant have two players on maxed rookie contracts. that player, BEN SIMMONS. He’s the gift that keeps on giving.
Many NBA superstars are officially what will eventually bring down the US and the west. Immature, entitled, and lacking mental toughness. Social media has allowed those with limited executive functioning skills multiple platforms to complain when life gets tough. I mostly blame my generation, gen X, as we created helicopter parenting, participation trophies for children that lose games at youth amateur levels, but we have to make certain everyone feels like they earned something, when they earned nothing, etc. I want to apologize for our era of parenting, which has spawn an even worse phenomenon, millennial parenting that has spawn the single worst generation of any empire in history, gen Z kids. The spiral towards weakness of mind, stupidity, over sexualization of both sexes, and entitlement is happening faster than even Idiocracy predicted. This is not an original, and I am paraphrasing, but it is true all the same: Hard times make hard men. Hard men make good times. Good times make weak men. Weak men make hard times. We are on the back end of this poem/statement/philosophy in the west.
I think that Durant didn't like the way the organization handled Kyries contract situation I don't think that he doesn't want to play with Kyrie this is the second time in Brooklyn that a big 3 didn't work moving forward just put together a good team and go from there
Exactly why I don't watch NBA anymore. Its garbage. I cant wait till next CBA. Owners are getting tired of these Divas. Players are gonna get their comeuppance!!!
Spoiled; Pampered; his pacifier(Kyrie) is being taken away!!! He's stomping the floor and getting ready to cry! Why? Because he knows he can't lead a team by himself and win!!! Look at how bad the Olympic team looked in the first few games. That was with some All Stars surrounding him. He finally bounced back but it sure wasn't impressive!!!
Good Commentary...saying what we have all known or wanted to say the whole time. Its a job as well as a sport, don't play? Don't get paid, act like a fool...sit down and don't play.

Dan come on! The nets wants to button out, the Rockets can swap picks this upcoming season. It's not as bad as their future pick situation. And haven't you heard the news 📰 🗞️?! Nobody are trading prime assets for Durant. When the nets finally gives up (around training camp) he going to the Suns.
Do you think if the nets were to keep him he’d sit out? He’s under contract for 4 MORE YEARS. The nets could literally end his career if they wanted to. They aren’t going to get nowhere near equal value back. I wonder why the nets would be in a rush to trade him

@@tomchrisfield7348 And they have no one else to blame but themselves.
Y'all sound mad he can dictate terms to his employer. Stop hating......
Keywords "his employer" as in they pay him to perform a task in exchange for a salary. So THEY should be dictating terms.
KD sticking with Kyrie is weak. Their friendship is based on emotional weaknesses.
they're lovers.
The ghost of Kevin Love is a hell of a line
Sounds like a title of a novel.

“The key to success is to take the easy way out” -Kevin Durant
KD is simply having a tantrum because the Nets wouldn’t sign Kyrie long term, it seems both KD and Kyrie are unstable , not team players at all. I wouldn’t trade the farm for either player, or they’ll dump on your team next!
KD is a front runner and ring chaser . You are welcome .
KD literally signed up for all that shit because he signed off on all that shit
I got a theory remember when KD said the chips in GS felt hollow? And then he sees his old buddy Steph crying because he won one with the team he was able to help build. Maybe that reminded KD of what he really wanted. A championship that is truly challenging, where you have to grow and evolve to succeed. But I guess KD still hasn’t realized jumping teams will never bring that satisfaction

Dan sounds like he’s a corona bro for all the misplaced disdain he has for Kyrie.
The answer is probably just that KD is mad that the Nets didn't give his boyfriend Kyrie a long-term max contract.
