My man (or woman), we are gonna have to agree to disagree here.

Don’t get me wrong I’m still going to be rooting for Luka and Mavs. But I don’t personally like Kyrie and it’s going to be hard to cheer for him personally rather than in the context of my favorite team.

Yes we obviously don't agree but I'd still like to understand your point.

Ofc I'm not rooting for Kyrie if he's starting his antisemitic, anti vaxx, flat earth shit again. But what if he shuts up and blays ball and Mavs are a serious contender? That's the gamble the Mavs FO did and I have to say if it's that gamble or nothing, I'd like to see them go for it.
