Trade: [DAL/BKN] Kyrie Irving and Markieff Morris for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, 2029 1st round pick, 2027 and 2029 2nd round picks

[Mickey Marner]

I wonder how many hero-ball backcourts need to fail before teams stop trying it.

Why are people so quick to jump all over Kyrie with whatever he says?

Even if he has said some crazy s**t, it is still entirely possible that he soured on the organization after signing there and seeing how they operate day-to-day. I'm sure events over the next few years added to that from his own point of view.

Kyrie does not live in reality. That is the problem.

I don't deny that this guy's personality is really "out there." He says crazy stuff all the time and may not be all there.

However, this is one instance where he may not be crazy. Harden asked out, KD asked out and then Kyrie asked out. Three mega superstars in less than two years wanting to get the f*** away from the same organization? That's not a "Kyrie is crazy" issue, that's a "Brooklyn Nets are f***ed" issue.

I mean at the time Kyrie was said to be the cause of Harden issue.

Irving was a massive stress for Nets his entire stay there.

Perhaps, but KD's issue was reportedly not Kyrie. It was the Nets. I wonder if Harden may have felt similarly.

I genuinely think both things can be true:

- Kyrie Irving is crazy and disruptive
- The Nets are badly run

& you could make a case Irving played a big part on why the Nets felt like a mess.

There was constantly some drama, constantly due to Irving

Karma. Don't trade for anti semites

Or dress anyone good in a must-win game.

Or dress anyone good in a must-win game.

They lost twice to the injury-riddled Hornets with their best players. They would have been slaughtered if they made the playoffs.

Another terrible trade! Can kyrie even be considered a core superstar player even if he didn't have the baggage?
