    Tony Parker to the Hornets....


    Guess we'll add this to the list (Hakeem on Raptors, Malone on Lakers, Frazier on Cavs and so on)

      2. Ain’t no “we’ve got to remember”. YOU’VE got to remember, lol. Since you and bigeast were pretty much calling him a bust after his 2nd game of his 2nd season. At least you’ve decreased the percentages over time so I’ll give you that.[emoji1474]

      In all seriousness, most fans are so quick to judge(maybe because they want to be proven right so quick)that we don’t want to give these 19, 20 and 21 y/o players time for whatever reason.

      Idk it’s always been weird to me...but then again, patience isn’t exactly a popular thing in society nowadays, especially in Sports.

        In fairness I was calling him trash in comparison to what people acted like he would be coming out of college. I never thought he was a horrible rookie or destined to be a bust, I can just remember some of the things people said about him at the time. I think he can be a solid scorer, I gave him some respect as the season went on because he was playing more in line with how I felt he should have been playing when I called him trash. Sucks a bit that he missed some games at the end of the season because we didn’t really get to see how he would have capped that year off.

        As of now he’s an average NBA player. So he’s still got a ways to go, but he’s not playing like trash at this point. His approach to the game throughout his rookie year and to start this year was not something I wanted to see from a guy like him, he’s turned that around a bit. Also hard to judge what he can be when all the successful 3’s mentioned before came up on good teams and weren’t expected to be the leading scorer at 20 years old.

          So back on the topic of Kyrie, he sounds like a ****ing diva. I can't wait to see C's fans turn on him after he leaves for NY next year, because he ain't staying. This dude cannot stand not being the #1 guy.

          Remember when I called him out for missing Game 7 against the Cavs this year cause he was having a non-emergency surgery and y'all tried to dismiss it as nothing? Lol, it was definitely something and it falls right in line with his behavior that was revealed from this report.

              because it was nothing. I'm not a die hard cavs fan but I already knew 85% of the stuff they mentioned in the podcast lol. I thought some of that was public knowledge. a dude wanting his own team wow that's gotta be a 1st more at 11.

              and the Kyrie to NY thing is credible but I'll believe it when i see it.

                Just like Kawhi not being at the Spurs playoffs games was nothing, right? A true leader of "his own team" wouldn't miss Game 7 for a surgery he could've rescheduled.

                  I think Kyrie is going to enjoy playing with Hayward more than people think. George Hill looked like an All-Star playing next to him in Utah, and compare that to how he played with LeBron just a year later in Cleveland.

                    you see what you said there... Kawhi missed multiple spurs playoff games. as in more than 1. Kyrie was literally at every other game.

                    and he and the C's were in constant communication quite the leap there.

                      Yet missed the single most important one, the one that would've put his team in the Finals without him, which just so happened to be against the guy who's shadow he was trying to escape.

                      You can keep denying it, but he's gonna be in NY next year cause he wants to be THE reason why a team wins, and the C's don't need him. I think it's clear that Boston's top guy will be Tatum, not Kyrie.

                          you do realize he was injured right. like what are we doing here?


                          oh unless you are into the rah rah stuff but you are probably right no question Boston wins game 7 if they have his cheerleading on the bench no doubt. all those 3's they missed they go in as well.

                              I don't think I could handle Kyrie as a Knick, his interviews...oh god this is actually going to happen isn't it?

                                What's being injured gotta do with it? Hayward was there. Kyrie's surgery wasn't an emergency procedure and didn't need to be done that day.

                                Seriously, you're talking about "rah rah" **** and cheerleading? Is that what you define as leadership? I'm not trying to be a dick but if that's what you think leadership is, you and I aren't speaking the same language.
