Am I missing something or wrong for thinking Kyrie is a POS?

The guy opt in a day ago.. and now wants to force a trade to the Lakers?? You could have opt out and went to the Lakers. Seems like a snake move.. unless the Nets and Lakers already had something planned..

Thats fine if you want to secure the bag.. I have integrity.. I am not going to secure the bag and then turn around and say I want out. I will live up to that contract.

Lol hey its the off season.. maybe I should go back into hiding so we get KD.

Oh I agree you secure it.. its just trying to force your way out right after is what bothers me.. I just don’t see the honor in that. Maybe its cause I am old or from my military days.

I wish we had the two bags of money to put everyone to the test.

Do you see the honor in NFL teams cutting players when there under contract?

Do you see honor and integrity in a team trading you without even talking to you and sending your family and kids somewhere else?

This is a business don’t ever lose sight of that. It goes both ways.

Yeah talking about a 30 million dollar difference and guys act like they would just pass that up.

At least I know we can trust each other. Let me go first.

I get its a business. I don’t think its right when players get cut and don’t get their money. It goes both ways. If you cut a guy you pay him for the whole contract. If you don’t have any protections on trades in your contract then thats on you.

I signed a contract for 6 years in the military.. I been sent all over the place.. Its part of the job and the contract I signed.

I guess signing a contract nowadays doesn’t mean much to people. No one from players to team owners want to own up to what they signed.

I believe you. Actually I think most people would.

It’s just so different now.

It’s like if your an all time great and you don’t win a ring you get made fun of on TV for the rest of your life.

I understand that. It’s also just not the way the nba works. It’s a different industry from all of ours. I occasionally fall into the thinking that you’re espousing and have to remind myself it’s a different ballgame with people sports and they’re all accustomed to those rules.
