NBA Kevin Durant requests a trade

[Terry Yake]

Going back to Golden State after the current warriors core won a title without him (again) would be a new low.

i know it's not going to happen because GS has been there and done that, but it'd be absolutely hilarious and on brand for KD

 

[hockey20000]

Shocker

Can't lead his team to a championship so needs to go back being a passenger... now watch him actually win one again once dealt

My god I find him, Irving and Harden sooooo damn annoying

3 biggest divas in the sport .

3 biggest divas in the sport .

Could almost change "the sport" to "all sports"

 

[hockey20000]

as a suns fan i don't want him please don't come lol

Could almost change "the sport" to "all sports"

true cant think of any divas like him in mlb nhl nfl.. its the leagues fault though no major sport has stars control the league like the nba.. they really need to get more control away from them in the next agreement or something

 

[EpochLink]

I agree both are bad

But Kyrie is just next level bad for an organization.

Ever since he went on a 3 week sabbatical and didn’t tell anyone it has been downhill fast.

Kyrie is a full fledge narcissist, KD put his trust in him for Brooklyn and left Steph Curry in Golden State.

KD must be super salty internally that the Warriors won the chip without him.

if KD had stayed in GS this would've been their 5th title together

I can see KD to Phoenix due to the fact Devin Booker is there, they can form a 1-2 punch with a slow as molasses Chris Paul just deferring to them.

But man, Durant jumping ship again is gonna be nonstop bark for alot of sports discussions.

No kidding, what contender would want him in their locker room?

The truly desperate ones only

Get ready for the Ben Simmons/Kyrie Irving show in Brooklyn.
That franchise has no long term future/goal do they? Just win now and see what happens kind of mentality.

 

[Breakers]

Probably not an appetite for a guy who didn’t let his GM know he was taking a personal day that extended into a 3 and half week vacation that he still got paid $9.6 million during that span.

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

I hate Kyrie so much.


Guy is one of the biggest cancers I have ever seen in sports
This whole fiasco starts with him

To be fair, Kyrie is a monster the NBA (owners themselves) created with all the "player empowerment". It's pretty entertaining to watch these petulant children like Durant, Kyrie and Simmons run the league, though.

Good Thing WOJ reported the owners are pissed at the current CBA and are using Kyrie’s vacation and Ben Simmons as examples in upcoming negotiations.

 

[EpochLink]

So KD still wants Kyrie with him? Wtf

 

[GKJ]

so then why would they leave

 

[BB88]

so then why would they leave

Probably mad at how the management has treated Kyrie

You spelled "Lakers" wrong.

 

[Blitzkrug]

So they're pissy Joe Tsai didn't like being screwed around during that whole thing last year.

I don't usually side with owners, but f*** these two clowns.

I’m not so sure on NBA contracts but the Lakers were seen as the only option for Kyrie but it would have meant a 30m pay cut next year.

Is the Lakers still viable?

& the list of teams for Durant will drop if they insist on playing together

You spelled "Lakers" wrong.

But you still knew the team

 

[TNT87]

I can't believe I actually liked this guy.

 

[These Are The Days]

I think I need to follow a different league

 

[K Fleur]

Kyrie always shows he’s the guy who thinks he’s always the smartest person in the room when in reality he’s just an idiot.

 

[GKJ]

ESPN laying the subtle (or maybe not so subtle) overtures to watch out for the Pelicans here, as the best positioned to make a deal since Durant's top 2 teams don't look like they can put a package together.

How about the Portland?

Durant would have a chance to win without being called ring chaser and he’s good with Damian

Odds makers have the Suns as clear favourites

 

[Blitzkrug]

James Harden might be the smartest guy in this whole thing.

He had CP3 traded because he couldnt stand playing with him (and now the former may have pushed DeAndre Ayton out of town in Phoenix) and then he noped the f*** out of Brooklyn when it became apparent Irving (and I guess Durant by extension) only gave a shit about themselves.

Harden has since settled into Philly and is now taking less money to help them try and build a better team.

Smart man really. I know some people still don't like him but he knew things were posion before everyone else did.
