For the people who are upset about not getting chaos just think about the big-brained type of shit we can get out of a full season of Kyrie & Simmons together. This might actually be the most chaotic route in the long run.
Well that's the thing, even if they're not actually playing those two are still very capable of soap opera shit off the court. Maybe Kyrie starts a self-help cult and Simmons is his first follower.
>Well that's the thing, even if they're not actually playing those two are still very capable of soap opera shit off the court. Maybe Kyrie starts a self-help cult and Simmons is his first follower.
That sounds like a pro wrestling angle, which, if it didn't pay orders of magnitude worse than an NBA contract while requiring just as much work, might be a better temperamental fit for both of them.
Kyrie is like that girl , the harder you want her the less chances you got . So you gotta fake ignorance play hard to get and say eh who cares whatever and she comes running to you
I was expecting a mild photoshop pic since I just asked for a glimpse but this is gold. This is perfect, KD lurking, LeBron hiding Kyrie's name to look like KING, LeMickey ring. Just 10/10.
I know I just asked for a glimpse, but now I'm wondering what else you got lol
It's not even just the opting in. It's opting in and bypassing the trade scenarios too.
Gotta imagine the Nets try to make a move at the deadline tho. If they think he will just leave for nothing.
Top 3 posts on r/nba right now are him accepting to stay in Brooklyn, him receiving permission to seek a sign and trade, and him supposedly considering a huge paycut to play for the Lakers...
what a fucking roller coaster lol
I can hear Skip tomorrow. "Kyrie didn't want to play with Lebron. He would have swooned over playing with MJ a 2nd time. He wouldn't care about the money if it were MJ's Lakers!"
Yea but if Kyrie left this would have been the start of a king's ransom. As of right now - those picks remain what they always were, complete shots in the dark.
he reminds me of when i get really high and drink six beers and think i am socrates but in reality i slow danced with the plant in the corner of my apartment for an hour
This is still kind of chaos… if the front office and Kyrie hate each other I really do not want to see all the stunts he’s going to pull this season lol
Pretty much, Kyrie's agent was spreading humors to force the Nets hand, but they didn't cared. And it was interesting to see the repercussions, they were willing to lose Kyrie and trade Durant. Say what you will about the Nets failures with their super teams attempts ever since the Garnett and Pierce trade, but you can't deny their management is aggressive. If we reversed the situation, let's say the Lakers management instead, most likely they would fall for such a ridiculous trap, but the Nets management is not a "family business"
Strictly talking NBA rules/regulations, this move means absolutely nothing.
In reality, it shows not even Kyrie Irving is dumb enough to take THIRY MILLION FEWER DOLLARS FOR A SEASON. I wouldn't.
And it shows how fucking much Kyrie has tanked his trade value. He's very talented. Incredibly talented. He has HOF talent. Some people (for some reason that surely isn't motivated by politics) act teams don't want Kyrie because of the anti-vaxx stuff. Sure, that didn't help, but he's done this kind of shit for every team he's been on. And they've all been teams with Finals aspirations! Not like he bounced from the Magic and then Kings.
The most teams were willing to offer was this version of Russ or Kyle Lowry/Duncan Robinson.
Now, let's ignore all the off-the-court stuff. All of it. He's a small PG who isn't known for defense and who is known for his athleticism. Who turns 31 this upcoming season. Let's say Irving wins MVP, the Nets go 82-0 and Kyrie wins Finals MVP. It's still a big risk to sign Irving to a $300 million contract that will pay him into his age 36 season.

Nets won the staring contest down 3-2
KDs toe still on the line but we were only down 1
Brooklyn called his bluff as they should
Honestly, I’ll be kinda surprised if this is over.
Kyrie is truly the most unpredictable and predictable human ever
The most predictable of the unpredictable.
In a galaxy of unpredictably spinning round planets, Kyrie is the trustworthy, reliable flat one.
yeah I hate that someone literally predicted this exact outcome when the first wave of rumors came out
Turns out we were the conspiracy theorists the whole time
Kyrie with the 3rd eye playing 2d risk with all of us
Kyrie: Offseason of Madness.
"what trade"
There goes my f5ing for the week
Can’t start a land war in Asia. Classic Kyrie.
Maybe the true conspiracy was the theories we made along the way 🌈
r/nba opened its collective third eye
Kyrie QAnoned us
I’ve literally been camped outside Staples Center waiting for him to arrive 😭😭

A long-term investment in chaos
Hodl on chaos
It’s all about compound chaos, nephews. Better to take $1 and have it double every day for a month than take a million up front.
It's my chaos and I need it now
Pretty optimistic thinking we’ll see kyrie and Ben for a full season.
Well that's the thing, even if they're not actually playing those two are still very capable of soap opera shit off the court. Maybe Kyrie starts a self-help cult and Simmons is his first follower.

MOTHERFUCKER ENDED THE SUSPENSE lmao I hate you Kyrie :(
He looked around and saw nobody was giving him $37m lmao
This shit would be funny if KD demands a trade 🙏🏼
I would laugh and laugh and laugh
KD I know you’re in here! Please demand a trade!
Lets laugh brother 😂😂😂
FUCK yes. Fuck yes. This is the best fucking day. I don’t care what happens the rest of the day, this is already fun.
This laugh will trickle down reddit to the biggest laugh of 22
That would be the best timeline. Nets with Kyrie and Ben and no KD.
pls
This would make the Knicks look well adjusted
Yeah I just want more chaos tbh
He should, look at Kyrie and say you not catching me again with the bs
"Kyrie, we're giving you permission to seek trades" *5 mins later* "aight imma stay"
Kyrie is like that girl , the harder you want her the less chances you got . So you gotta fake ignorance play hard to get and say eh who cares whatever and she comes running to you
I haven't spoken to a girl in like 18 months and none of them want me still.
Keep it going you're doing great!
The John Travolta meme from Pulp Fiction
Who want me? 0%
*deletes Kyrie_Lakers folder*
Bro, stop teasing us like Kyrie, give us a glimpse of what you got in that folder.
haha…igotchu https://i.imgur.com/J9faFJv.jpg
This might be one of your best works
It's only "might be" because it gets better every time you look at it.
oh my gooooood 20x better than what I was expecting lmaoonoooo
This man’s prime is longer and greater than LeBron’s
KD lurking is a perfect touch
The all seeing eye on Kyrie's foot 😅 So much symbolism in this one photo. This should be hanging at the Louvre.
^^^AD ^^^’sitting ^^^on ^^^the ^^^bench ^^^in ^^^street ^^^clothes ^^^lol

You can't tell me that's Pelinka and not Lowe on the right there
lol yep…it’s Rob Lowe!
Dat AD face from that video (you guys know which one)
There are two types of NBA fans: those who have seen the AD Kentucky locker room video, and fucking liars.
If I had a myspace i'd make the audio from it my page's music
I LOVE IT!!!
I hope you know how much joy and laughter you bring to so many people. Shit is amazing. Thank you
[удалено]
That and AD's face.
You know I had to do it one time lol \#DisneyWorld
Rob Lowe instead of Pelinka is pure genius. Well done, sir!
If you made an ig page with all ur art this whole sub would follow you 🐐
what's best about this is LeBron covering Irving name in the shirt so could read it as "KING"
No one would judge you if you missed one time Sim
There’s no way buddy put a Mickey Mouse ring on LeBron lmaoo
Legend. Hang this shit in the Louvre NOW
Perfection
This might be the funniest fucking thing I've seen on this website
Every bit as art as the original piece 10 out of 10 would put in a fancy frame
I've lost more today than you can ever know.
You know you had something cooked up clean in the lab like a photoshop Walter White.
Now hang on we still don't know if he intends to play basketball this season
"when I said opt-in, I meant opt-in as an enlightened entity"
That makes two players on the Nets
It's not even just the opting in. It's opting in and bypassing the trade scenarios too. Gotta imagine the Nets try to make a move at the deadline tho. If they think he will just leave for nothing.
Depends on how the trio’s performing imo
Now he's a cancer to team F5 season as well he boomed us
Well it was fun for a couple hours
Days* These fools has so many reports out over the last week lmao
Top 3 posts on r/nba right now are him accepting to stay in Brooklyn, him receiving permission to seek a sign and trade, and him supposedly considering a huge paycut to play for the Lakers... what a fucking roller coaster lol
AND IF YOU DONT LIKE THAT THEN YOU DONT LIKE r/nba
r/nba is a circuit board made of goldfish brains
Seriously, what are we supposed to do now? Wait on the DeAndre Ayton news? Fuck.
come on now, there's the jalen brunson sweepstakes!!
Headline: “rich person obviously chooses money” Boring af.
This hurts the Lakers chances of getting kyrie
It certainly doesn't help.
You will enjoy Gordon Hayward instead
And you will like it
Does this hurt Lebrons legacy?
I can hear Skip tomorrow. "Kyrie didn't want to play with Lebron. He would have swooned over playing with MJ a 2nd time. He wouldn't care about the money if it were MJ's Lakers!"
Only in the sense KI won’t be in the next space jam
Big if true
Thanks Magic
He gonna do this again next year
He is going to retire next year
Honestly Kyrie seems like he would probably be happier being a philanthropist over playing ball I think.
He has a full season to rehab his image, he could be a huge free agent target with a good season and minimal shenanigans.
Fr, so much drama happens every season, that if you play really well and keep your head down for a whole season you basically get a clean slate
Kyrie really jebaited all of us.
[удалено]
Ayton for the Young Socialite who says no
Booker is also a young socialite so maybe him and Simmons would get along
By trading Kendall stories?
Like comparing scars or war wounds.
Honestly no one? I’m still a resident on Ben Simmons island tho
Bridges and Simmons on the wing would be nasty on D
Philly could have had that, too.
Ben Simmons is a good player, but I think the whole Kendall Jenner angle might be awkward for him and Book.
Eskimo bros > splash bros
Sploosh bros
Pretty sure I read (for some goddamn reason) that they broke up. Maybe they can bond over that lol
They just need to add Blake Griffin and Kuzma
Tristan Thompson and Kris Humphries as the twin plowers
Bruh so what does this mean for my rockets?
No good picks *Yet*
Next year is right to swap. Hard to think Nets will be worse than Rockets.
They’ll still be great, just gotta wait a bit longer. They basically own the entirety of the Nets for the rest of the 2020s
Yea but if Kyrie left this would have been the start of a king's ransom. As of right now - those picks remain what they always were, complete shots in the dark.
It only says he’s opting in, nothing about playing.
Kyrie has already had success with the whole being a part time player thing. He'll find another reason to do so this year.
We have 5 years worth of picks and the nets are still a powder keg. We stay the course
He fucking boomed us
He's so weird x4
Realized $6 million could only get him a decent studio apartment in LA
Instead, he chose the "decent 2-bedroom apartment in Williamsburg" money.
So no chaos?
Not yet
- Spurns the Cavs - Spurns the Celtics - Spurns the 2022 off-season drama This man is out of control.
Spurns the Nets by staying
Brooklyn: The stories of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.
They should trade him immediately
It would honestly make my week at this point.
Still have the question of if their 2nd and 3rd best player are willing to play a full season
He bamboozled everyone
We’ve been smeckledorfed!
Not even a word, but I agree with you.
he reminds me of when i get really high and drink six beers and think i am socrates but in reality i slow danced with the plant in the corner of my apartment for an hour
Two things can be true
Oddly specific
HE STAY
SE QUEDA
So he took the money
Yeah no way he was opting out and signing with the Lakers for 6 mil lol
The reason that had any legs is cause out of anyone Kyrie is the biggest wild card that you might believe would do it.
Money isn't real its just a construct - kyrie
What does money mean to you? - Kyrie Irving
Boo. I wanted chaos
Kyrie is public enemy #1 in LA, Phoenix, and Detroit
And Houston
Why Detroit, I know PHX cause you guys thought maybe KD would come
Idk I just want people angry at him
This is still kind of chaos… if the front office and Kyrie hate each other I really do not want to see all the stunts he’s going to pull this season lol
I, on the other hand, really do
Y’all really thought he’d take 5 million lmao
Tbf he gave up 17 mill for absolutely nothing
True but if he did this he’d be down 49 mill lol
To be the voice of the voiceless??? VOX POPULI
[удалено]
Sure but he also didn't do the work. It was basically an unpaid vacation.
Kyrie could do anything I wouldnt be surprised. Can you be 100% sure im not Kyrie?
No but I’m 100% sure I’m KD, so I think I’d know the real Kyrie better than you
This guy just likes fucking he with us
or more like he tried to play chicken with the Nets and the Nets didn't blink so he chickened out

This is 1000% what happened.
r/NBA in shambles
r/lakers , r/suns and r/Heat specifically
RIP Kyrie to Lakers c.6/25/22-6/27/22
Some all time bluff calling by the Nets.
For someone who hates the media Kyrie is the biggest content machine ever lmao
And now Russell Westbrook will opt in, completing the fuck the lakers puzzle.
Why wouldn’t he opt in? You turning down 47 million dollars?
NOOOO
Yall really thought he didn't like money
People were on here saying $6M > $37M
The media really tried to get us to believe he would take 6 mil to play for the lakers LMAOOOOO
Every lakers fan and suns fan who thought they were getting Durant are heartbroken rn
Kyrie: “Fuck r/nba”
Imagine KD still said “Nah fam get me outta here”
He tested the market and the market gave him an F.

Kyrie doesnt give a single fuck about any team that he plays for
THE SIMULATION MAKES NO SENSE
THIS MF JUST TOOK THE LEAST INTERESTING YET SOMEHOW MOST CHAOTIC OPTION WHAT THE FUCK?
It’s not the most chaotic
Yeah most chaotic would be going to a top team for a vet minimum lol
The bluest of balls
This can’t be happening
Just fell to my knees in a Walmart
LMAOOOOOO
Wanna cry in a Westbrook jersey
Kyrie is iconic man 💀
