    I hope you guys know that Kyrie Irving will be a Laker at some point.


    If I'm wrong, so be it. But I believe he will be a Lakers jersey.

    Do I like it? Idk. Indifferent, really.

    Let's go! :Laugh:

    Don’t really want Kyrie. Since he won a ring his focus has mostly been off basketball.

    Lol..Kyrie and Myles Turner is a hell of a swing. I don't think he would have bungled his mea culpa that bad with Lebron in his ear either.

    If I were a betting man, I would put $5k down on him not completing even half of these.

    I don’t think Lebron is a Kyrie whisperer, I mean Kyrie kind of blew up that Cleveland team by leaving. Why didn’t Lebron stop him?

    I think as he has gotten older he has just going a bit loopier. When you add that with his health issues, nah. I’m good.

    Well, that's an understatement, but yeah.

    So does the $500k he donated that the ADL that they gave back pass as a donation? Hope he has to beg them to change their minds and accept that money. He has to meet with them too? Haha... that's not going to go well at all.

    I am curious to see how his meeting goes with Silver, as well.

    For what it's worth Aaron Larsuel (Lakers front office employee) was on the SS&R pod yesterday and guaranteed we will not be the team that takes him after this.

    If he comes back and dropped a couple of 40/50 point games..best believe somebody is giving him a shot at redemption. That's the American way.

    That list really isn't all that much for him to do honestly. Hypothetically here...what if Brooklyn offered us a FRP to take him?

    The concern with waiting 20 games was always just digging too deep of a hole (at least for me).

    I think we’re likely to hold out if we can but I’m more optimistic that we will make a trade now than I was previously. I think the front office can see this team has potential with some improvements.

    The West is looking kinda mediocre at the moment. 20 games from now, we will probably be in the middle of the pack.

    I actually agree with you here. The rough starts for several teams should help us.

    We may finally catch some breaks.

    I would think he MAY have some support in the Player's Union, but maybe not. How can a team owner demand you donate half a mil?

    That list looks like it's designed to either humiliate him or get rid of him.

    He knew he was playing with fire when he did what he did, but maybe he didn't think he would get burned. Expensive lesson to learn.

    Let's see if he is content to walk away from the rest of the money on this year's contract or if he takes the battle to the NBA. And this is potentially over him posting something he didn't see as harmful for some reason. Seems a little over the top.

    Let's see what you are made of Kyrie.

    As you always say “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble, it is what you know for sure just ain’t so.”

    I feel your pain. Hang in there Buddy. Beside’s @LaVarBallsDad thinks it’s a lock he’s going to be a Laker. The Circus is coming to town.
