You don't make much sense but that's nothing new. And claiming that guy "can't be the centerpiece on a championship team" is hardly a slight either. Maybe to you it is but again you rarely make much sense. You can say the very same thing about 99% of the players in the NBA.
Fact is the guy has been injured and not playing in the playoffs during some of those years you keep.claiming that he came up short in. Though obviously you failed to ever make note of it. File that under "doesn't fit the narrative".
Fact is that the dude is an 8 time All Star and one of the top 10 players in the game this year. The only reason that you are shitty with him is because he dared to break away from your guy LeBron James. And for that you hate the guy.
With each post you make less and less sense.

And if Kyrie is the dude that Vegan keeps claiming that he is then why did LeBron haul ass to come play with him in Cleveland? And why is he currently mad as hell with the Lakers for not trading for him yesterday?

LeBron is still chasing MJ's ghost. I like Kyrie the player but LeBron isn't the best GM. The Lakers have given away a lot of good to great players because GM LeBron wanted them to. Now he wants them to sacrifice more because Westbrook is a losing player. He should have known that before demanding they trade for Westbrook.

Yeah but Kyrie is still the last dude that he has won a legit championship with. And Kyrie has been on contending teams every season since he left Cleveland. And before he got hurt that first Season in Boston they had the Best record in the league with him carrying them. The Nets were rolling this year with him and Durant playing together. Dallas will no doubt be a decidedly better with him playing.

LeBron on the heels of Kareem's scoring record is interesting the lack of buzz it's generating compared to Brady, Pete Rose, Michael, Walter going after records. Choice between Kareem or LeBron in their prime? I take Kareem. Lebron or Michael? I take Michael hands down. No comparison.

What a very surprising observation from you. Never would have expected it.

As a player, you have to be pissed at LeBron for venting about the Lakers not trading you.

He has been doing the same shit for at least 10 years now. Holding franchises hostages and being shitty whenever they don't capitulate to his demands. Now that his teams routinely get drug (4 out of 5 years now) Gms are now telling him to fuck off. As they should.

Ironic polarizing Lebron (Anthony Davis back) sets NBA scoring record with a loss to mediocre Thunder with a previous loss to Pelicans without Zion. With the Lakers fading into a high draft pick ... The Pelicans own their '23, choice of '24 or '25 1st round picks. Lakers have the 7th highest payroll.

It's hilarious Lakers had nothing to give for Kyrie. I was reading some dipshit writer that the Lakers had a solid offer, that the Nets owner was not going to give them Irving under any circumstances. Then I saw the supposed offer. Westbrook and two 1st round picks in like 4 and 6 years from now.

The rumored deal the Suns offered was Chris Paul, Jae Crowder, and a future 1st Round pick. We don't know when that 1st Round pick was -- but the Nets reportedly wanted three 1st Round picks. I'm not sure three would have been worth half a season of Kyrie but two may have been. Kyrie-Booker-Bridges-Ayton core would have been really fucking solid in the West.

Similarly to Westbrook, Paul is a quarter step from being cooked. The Nets aren't interested. They still have Durant. Mavs had the best deal.

Westbrick to the Jazz in a 3 team deal.

The Lakers would be a significantly better team if they didn't trade all of their picks and players to make LeBron happy.

The Lakers would be a significantly better team if LeBron was truly the GOAT you claimed him to be a few days ago

He is in the conversation. For such a pass happy guy, he doesn't make the guys around him better. Even Scottie was able to do that.

Nets just getting those old farts out of Cam Thomas' way

They let him loose at the end of January and he's been a stud.

Nets did alright considering being under the gun. It's just a wild guess, but I think Durant's injury problems will continue . He has 2 sticks for legs and they be old sticks.

Last 4 years he has played in about 120-130 games max. I wouldn't touch him.

addition by subtraction. the West is wide open. Lakers make the playoffs by default now and may even get out of the play in tourney.

That' is if Lebron sticks around. Watch that dude force a trade or shut it down after the KD and Kyrie aqusitions.

Yup. Wolves got a lot better

You keep screaming this but as I told you awhile ago no one is fearing the Lakers these days. They just aren't that good and Westbrook wasn't nearly the problem he was made out to be. Just more collateral damage of having had to play with the egomaniac that is Lebron James. When a team wins he gets all the credit and when a team loses the other guys get all of the blame. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
