yeah were i an nba team i certainly wouldnt test it lol

i'm also honestly curious what kyrie trades are out there that actually make sense for the nets. it's not like they're in a position where they need to be recouping assets, they're all in. if KD plus one of the other two are healthy they're prob title favorites, if all three are healthy they're prob overwhelming favorites. they already have a plus plus shooter, already have one of the best wing players in the NBA... what's the trade that makes them better
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 September 2021 19:25 (two years ago) link
unless they just feel like they can't rely on him to even show up which is a possibility but if that's the case it's hilarious that kyrie would box them in by just saying he's gonna retire if they trade him lmao
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 September 2021 19:26 (two years ago) link
kyrie looked fuckin amazing last year when he was on the court
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 September 2021 19:27 (two years ago) link
trading him for defense and depth kind of makes sense theoretically, also he is a known team cancer and obvs a huge wildcard and is never healthy, but yeah in the world you would never actually trade him
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 September 2021 19:29 (two years ago) link
in a fantasy nba kyrie for simmons would be extremely interesting for both teams and for drama
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, September 15, 2021 3:26 PM (three minutes ago) bookmarkflaglink
otm lol feel like kyrie is planning on doing some wild extracurriculars this year, not that just not showing up repeatedly isnt already trade worth, what if hes secretly not cool w kd anymore, not hard to picture
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 September 2021 19:32 (two years ago) link
i'm supposed to be prepping for a meeting but now i'm trying to figure out what kyrie trade is out there lol
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 15 September 2021 19:43 (two years ago) link
maybe i'm overreacting but i just feel like simmons is a negative playoff player until proven otherwise
also for all the worry about the nets defense, it definitely wasn't an issue vs the bucks. maybe that's just cuz the bucks kinda play a clunky grind it out style in the playoffs but their defense didn't seem like a fatal flaw. maybe that's also bcuz they didn't have kyrie, harden, KD on the floor at once so they were a bit more tilted towards defense. but if i were them i'd just stay put
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 September 2021 19:44 (two years ago) link
yeah the nets defense was fine, much better than i thought, but still kyrie is pretty redundant behind kd and harden and hes and injury prone lunatic, and nets would be the perfect fit for simmons he could just be large draymond
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 September 2021 19:46 (two years ago) link
i mean the nets org must absolutely hate him, just not showing up to games is generally frowned upon in the nba, so much so it hardly ever happens, when was the last time a major guy was awol, rodman on the bulls?
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 September 2021 19:49 (two years ago) link
well the sixers putting the fate of their franchise in kyrie’s hands would be hysterical
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 September 2021 19:49 (two years ago) link
im saying its an interesting idea from many angles
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 September 2021 19:52 (two years ago) link
I think Kyrie is a certified lunatic and I would trade Simmons for him in 2 secs.

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 September 2021 21:06 (two years ago) link
This is an underrated and hilarious timeline, agreed. If it ever happens, I'm gonna have to believe that the Sixers org has been optimizing for dangerously high blood pressure among talk radio callers all along and everything else has been secondary.

good idea if so

only took bron and AD 19 and 12 years respectively to finally come to that decision xp

Lakers favorites again if they stick to that (and Bron looks like himself again)

tbf like most major players have seemed that way in the last couple years (except giannis)
― Clay, Wednesday, 15 September 2021 22:50 (two years ago) link
That makes a lot of sense for AD and Lebron, but do the Lakers really have the guards and wing players to cover all those minutes?
― Taliban! (PBKR), Wednesday, 15 September 2021 23:14 (two years ago) link
its not like they have viable centers either

“Mask off” meansYou stop being something you’re not and stop lying to yourself. It’s the moment you discover the real you and can walk around with NO FEAR in a society that shows a lot of the masks people wear to hide who they truly are. *nothing COVID rule related!!

to be fair to kyrie ppl *did* use the phrase "mask off" in this way after the future song came out. that having been said, perhaps he should consider the general concept of context, just as a rule of thumb
