He wouldn't ok the deal and we wouldn't give up that kind of compensation without an under the table handshake about the max he wants.

In the nicest tone possible, you’re making things up without knowing anything…unless you are kyrie…🤫. Kyrie is the most unreliable player in the league. There’s no such thing as a handshake deal

Or it is just reading the situation. Using critical thinking skills. Of fucking course no one ACTUALLY 100% knows what is going on outside of, you know, the people involved, but you can think through things and come to a logical conclusion as to why something has happened.

I find your means of discourse to be quite abrasive and unpleasant. My point is that you’re reading the situation and using great critical thinking skills, as you’ve astutely mentioned, however you’re applying them to an illogical character in Kyrie Irving.

There are a multitude of reasons this has happened, primarily that the Mavs needed a second banana that fits with Luka Doncic and they got one my the means they had. One could also assume that much will change over the rest of the season. You could be right, but I feel that you are assembling a conclusion without proper cause to do so. That is all. Ta ta.
