2022-23 Team Developments: News / Trades / Free Agents / Rumors

Lebron has made some dumb political takes on twitter also, not to Kyrie's extreme, it eventually fades away until the media jumps onto a new bigger story. I will accept Irving because he can play the game, plus he can clarify his stance or admit that he f up, it's his choice, is he a real racist or just made a stupid error putting him as a target of being taken out of context by trying to stir the pot.

In general of serious topics, I have issues that some don't research all the facts of the case before emotionally jumping to conclusions, we seen this many times on the internet, we seen Lebron making comments on twitter about a serious event without gathering all the facts.

 

Okay well I didn’t see that coming. Honestly that’s a pretty well written apology.

I doubt he’s sincere and this was probably delicately crafted by some PR team, but that’s still a much better approach than the doubling down I assumed would happen

 

What a start to this season.

What the heck is going on?

Lol.

 

yup pretty much

 

There, he apologized. Let's move on & shoot the offer. KY2LA.

 

Let’s go get Kyrie even though he’s a “bad” person

 

KD probably threatened him at gunpoint and made him do it

 

I agree, but Kyrie, more than anyone seems to bring the outside noise into the locker room, NBA media and several other platforms. I mean, look at what
we are all talking about. His views and opinions. Which I also want to escape when watching the games. I feel like sports is the only time that Republicans/Democrats/Men/women/gay/straight all get along for the most part. Kryie is mucking that up with all his bs IMO

 

Lebron has made political statements that the OTHER party view as dumb. (and thats fine) but Kyrie is supporting HATE. Big difference.

 

I honestly view it as the bare minimum. But it is an apology and you gotta respect it to a degree.

 

His charitable work is awesome, but what does that have to do with supporting hateful antisemitic comments?

 

kyrie isn't necessarily a "terrible person." he's just a misinformed idiot

lebron has said some dumb things in the past as well but he's done some great things for the community at the same time too

 

Oh please. What is the over/under on how long he goes before saying or doing something that undermines or completely reverses the apology? 3 days?

 

Listening to Kyrie's "speech" which tbh is something I have never done (listen to him talk) I realize that this man is 100% coocoo in the head. Saying he found out about the dictionary and the ability to look up words now makes him wise and empowered....surely that helps but did the dictionary tell him the world wasn't flat too? Someone's gonna have to break it to him about the Easter Bunny and Santa too.

 

They're all bad people!! To someone!!

 

Can you post this antisemitic comments? I can’t seem to find it anywhere, maybe you’re talking about Kanye?

 

I wonder how many people have read the book in question. Did any reporters do their research before running to label him anti whatever? What exactly is in the book? And is it possible that he just overlooked some of those things because he was focused on the things that applied to his own community and he thought it was worth sharing?

if a positive message was lost to “his people” over this, that’s unfortunate. I don’t think he’s at all malicious, but thinks of himself as a free thinker.

in this situation, he is at worst careless. And it will now cost him a fine plus a minimum of 5 unpaid games. Probably a million plus dollars.

Our main stream media is no longer full of honest, fact checking, truth seeking individuals, so I understand his initial reaction of refusing to be bullied by the conglomerates over something he didn’t say or mean. But in his position and with his influence, you can’t post stuff in social media without looking at all sides of things. You don’t only represent yourself, but your team, your league, and your sport. Wokeness is a little out of control these days, but if the book was filled with hateful things that he overlooked, he’s probably paying an appropriate price.

But it is fascinating what the media chooses to go after and what they ignore. Kyrie’s eyes are open to it more than most in his position.

BUT, would he be a distraction on the Lakers? Would the benefits outweigh the downside? Now that we see RW turning things around, is he a clearly better fit? If another round of something like COVID hits, are fans willing to support my body my choice over his availability in the playoffs?

no matter if you support him or not, think he’s crazy or not, it will all come down to “Does he benefit the team”, “Do the positives outweigh the negatives”, and “Will he be available when you need him?”

I think most round earthers don’t take that chance.

 

As you told me before @sirronstuff “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.” Now I don’t know who made this quote that you admire so much but it seems from a wise man

But no matter, do it Rob you useless POS
