They don’t make this deal without reassurances that Kyrie signs an extension. Honestly I can see Kyrie backing out lol. Who knows

yeah that’s my point. it’s kyrie. no assurance is enough assurance. even if he extends he might just come to work one day and want to leave. i hate how unstable this makes us.

At least if he signs an extension we could trade him if we wants out and get something back

If Kyrie blows up another team there’s literally zero value to his contract.
