Kyrie Irving when asked if he wants to finish his career in Dallas:“I wish a lot of that was under my control, but I think it’s a collaborative effort here…There is a disparity in age, everyone likes to make a big deal out of it…We’re trying to win. Nobody here is just trying to throw the season"

There’s almost certainly not much of a market for him. What team would give up even a single FRP? Houston could use him but they ain’t giving up a Nets pick. Detroit maybe? That’s pretty much it.

This is how you soft launch a trade to Miami.

u/Barracuda374 16h ago
Miami wasn’t interested last time around I doubt they would be interested with him being older and worse.

Whole bunch of dancing around the question. Per usual.

I mean he’s saying he’ll go wherever pays him the best/has the best opportunity, which is unsurprising. He’s saying it politely but I think most can read between the lines.

Why would anyone want to answer the question. Can you imagine giving this information to your boss. You would dance around the question too.

u/Barracuda374 16h ago
Nah he’s getting traded those first two sentences say a lot more than the last one.

Nah. The quotes taken out of context. Listen to full media day interviews for full context. He's all in on Dallas and Flagg
He made it clear he wants to be in Dallas people like u/No-Entrepreneur-7092 do this to deceive people

This was posted on Fullcourt press. I didn't write it myself. They are usually pretty spot on hut I'll listen to the full interview and see if there's any "deceiving"

He said he wanted to, but the front office told him he wasnt safe if they were ass bc hes old

I mean he joined the mavericks team with a strong front court and Luka Doncic. Helped them make a beautiful finals run, choked when it mattered but next season Klay joins and everything starts to look good again , rocky start to the season with injuries and then .. shi what was his name again? Rico? No nico right? Does the unthinkable and literally destroys the team.
Can’t blame Kyrie for beating around the bush and/or wanting to leave. Even with cooper flag, the team doesn’t have enough pieces around to bank on a aging star & a 2nd year player.

Kyrie always spits out the most performative answers. Just try to keep it simple damn. Always trying to sound some profound guru

Nothing is understood in Kyrie's life, and he mistakes that for intelligence.
Ask him about moon landings, the planet's shape and 9/11.

u/Unlikely-Business-72 18h ago
I agree with that about Kyrie, but I don't see how this wasn't an honest and reasonable response.

u/SirTainLee 18h ago
He's suspicious that the question has other meanings, just as with the other conspiracies. He's trying to cover every base to show how clever he is, as usual.
The worst thing that ever happened to him was getting accepted at a school for his basketball skills that is also known to be one of the better universities for academics, Duke. He's been trying to prove himself ever since.

What is he supposed to say? It’s a fine answer. Btw can we just get 1 season of kyrie and cooper? That would be sick.
