[Cacciola] Kyrie says he plans to re-sign with the Nets: "When I say I'm here with Kev, I think that really entails us managing this franchise together alongside Joe and Sean."

He didn’t really just say this, did he?

I was wondering the same thing.

Kyrie and KD came here because (supposedly) they love what the Nets built. Then they proceeded to tear it all down, and not let the GM that put it together handle things. Then after this failure they wanna build it up with Joe and Marks? Arrogant.

These two must think you can win a NBA title without playing defense which is mind boggling considering they both have rings because of their previous teams fantastic defense whether it’s LeBron, Klay Thompson, or Draymond Green. I really just don’t understand what is going through their head when we constantly ignore defense every single off season and than expect Bruce brown to guard guys half a foot taller and 25 pounds heavier than him. Yeah sure we might’ve gotten away with winning it all without playing defense when we had Harden which gave us 3 top 15 nba players on the same damn team but he is long gone so they better wake tf up and scream at the FO to bring in defense, size, physicality, rebounders and not just a bunch of sub 6’5” shooters as if we already don’t have enough of these guys.

Why would you be happy about a delusional flat earther on the team that has been a poison on every single team he has been on.

They are generational superstar talents. If that is what it takes to get those kind of players to join a team like the nets, you do it every single time.

If Ky were managing, they would not have Nash.

Oh GoD no. Please tell me he didn't really say that. He needs ro be as far away from management as possible. Like I want to go to the precinct and file restraining orders on behalf of Joe Tsai and Sean Marks

Honestly not sure if this is true or a joke

Co-GM and Coach, Kyrie Irving

I hope Kyrie Irving is happy as bad as of coach Nash is Kyrie decided the Fate of the Nets before the seaon begin his refusal to not be selfish and put the team First cost us in the end this is why Sean Mark's and the Nets should've put their foot Down like the Warriors did Wirh Andrew Wiggins

Bah gawd, is that Mark Jackson music???????

part time basketball player and full time sage burner

Lmao yo kyrie is insane

Insane in the membrane!

I’m not comfortable with this guy having this much power. Wish KD had a co-star that wanted to play and didn’t force drama on everyone. KD too loyal to Kai at this point

Trust me, Kyrie says some shit but Sean is not listening. Nash was KDs choice, and geared towards convincing KD to resign long term. Done.

Holy shit what a clown take. Leave the management to the qualified people and focus on improving your game so you can help make up for this embarrassing shitshow of a season.

yup, he is an absolute clown. and the most narcissistic loser i can think of in sports.

This ego maniac Kyrie promoted himself from head coach to the front office

Did the same shit in Boston. The man’s not gonna change.

no mention of Nash.. interesting.

If you were Nash, would you want more of this?

Kyrie never wanted Nash. That is were his "I don't see us having a coach" comments steam from; nigga said it right after Nash was hired LOOOOOL!!!!

Playing franchise mode on NBA 2K18 isn't the same there Ky

I hate this shit. These guys fucking own our franchise for better or worse at this point ugh

This is very concerning. Please Sean and Joe don't include him in any decision making. Please please

If you dont. He wont want to re-sign

Kyrie and KD hold so much power over the team. It's crazy.

I don't mind KD but Kyrie goddamn...

Besides LeBron teams (and even those can go spectacularly wrong, and are always in a pretty bad spot when he leaves) has any team run by players won anything? I'm not very well versed on the dynamics of any team of the 2000s

What the fuck is he saying? Please stop, I had enough for today 😔

Do you guys think KD hears these comments and goes "yeah that's right!" Or does he just think "wish this guy would shut up"?

I don’t want to re-sign him, just for this comment. I can’t believe how oblivious he is.

I think now you are starting to understand why Boston fans were not that upset when he decided to leave

It's normal for FO to ask inputs from their star players. Yall just hating on Kyrie.

L

This is a reactionary ass comment.

Ew

I know he really meant Joe Tsai, but in my head canon he elevated Joe Harris to a management position

💀

Scenes when it turns out Harris wasn't playing because he was at GM School the whole time

Said the same thing with boston

Jesus Christ I thought my pain ended after the last game.

Ah yes let’s have Kyrie manage the franchise - genius

Kyrie is a horrible teammate

Question, what incentive does Joe/Sean have to sign Kyrie long term? 3 years and he's played maybe the equivalent of just over 1 season.

He has a player option for next season, he can just opt into.

RIP nets if this happens.

He wants to manage the franchise alongside Joe and Sean.

Go away, Kyrie. You anti-vaxxer, sage burning clown 🤡

No way he really said this. Ownership needs to control of this franchise. Sign him to a one year deal.

Let him opt in. Offer him nothing.

Yikes. Please do not sign this guy. Give that money to Brunson or anyone else.

Can we trade him for Chris Paul if the Suns lose in the first-round?

Man STFU, you dunno anything about managing a franchise. Let Sean and Joe do their thing

Kyrie go away or take a super team friendly deal.

He'd have to agree to a sign and trade, meaning super max extension @50 mill annual.

this is how a flat earther thinks: it all revolves around me in some Truman show-dome kind of reality

I swear I’ve heard this before…

I cannot understand why anyone would want Kyrie back on the Nets next year.

Kyrie is an absolute clown. 😂

FUCK this guy!

at least Kyrie almost dropped 40 and saved us in game 1. cant say anything remotely similar about thunderstruck

Grow up

Joe and Sean better curve him with the quickness. I don’t want any more DeAndre Bembry’s/Jordans on this team because they were friends or a high school teammate (saying this knowing that Bembry was alright with the team). Point being, the roster needs to be built on merit, not connections

Bembry is a decent NBA player and should never have been let go. He would have helped in the series if available.

Your point is correct but bembry is a bad example, as undersized as he is he played with great heart and energy anytime he was out there, Dandre Jordan is a better example

Please don't put Bembry in a negative light. That dude was amazing during his short stint for the Nets.

F*ck Kyrie.

This guy literally has no self-awareness. He first calls his teammates "pieces" and then now this.

Kyrie was all-in on staying in Boston after a horrible playoff run too. Dude is gone, and you'll be better for it.

I hope you're right

Glad he's committed, but his attitude seems a bit concerning

Kyrie needs to be committed. To a mental institution.

Committed to what? He's never been committed to anything. He just shows up. Sometimes...

Kyrie was committed to staying with Boston, can never know with that clown

He admitted that he was in his own head. I’m not sure if someone would post the quote but it was something along the lines of “he felt like he was letting the team down when he couldn’t play”. Then he went on to say how it would distract him and be a mental challenge

Dont know why lmfao, neither KD or Kyrie are leaders

Pls give im a shitty extension and see if really cares about playing with Kev. If he walks so be it, we cant win with him anyway

Dude is apparently the coach and the GM but doesn't even want to report as a player.

Re-sign Bruce and keep nash. Let’s these guys have one year of stability and then we can actually judge the coach properly

Wait! I think I’ve seen this one before!

He’s said this before!! Team change incoming!!

Fucking hell i would say let him go to free agency but he has a goddamn player option

Yo what is Kyrie spitting here exactly?

"When I say I'm here with Kev, I think that really entails us managing this franchise together alongside Joe and Sean, just our group of family members that we have in our locker room and our organization."

What a cancer he is.

lol, Kyrie is a fucking clown... dump his crazy ass along with that scared little bitch Simmons and start over.

Kyrie has no business managing any team. Period.

did he really say "managing this franchise" WTF?

I hope they lowball Kyrie. He knows we’re about the only franchise that will tolerate his lifestyle. Hell, he has the perfect scapegoat in Simmons now that totally deflects the media attention. Maybe that’s the real perk of having Ben.

We better give KAI 1 year deals, so we aren't stuck with his contract if KD leaves and make him take a discount for all he put us through.

Kyrie ain't signing 1 year deals

Is there any way he can be traded for Damian Lillard? Not joking, genuinely asking...

Portland would laugh. Hard

They're out of their minds if they bring him back. Maybe, just maybe, if you had Lebron in his prime to rein him in. Injury prone, dumb as shit, and a locker room cancer every place he's ever gone. Let him go take weeks off to argue over whether or not dinosaurs are real somewhere else. What an absolute waste of talent.

He said the same thing with the celtics

Kyrie… nah dude just for that comment alone I need you on a one year deal..

Managing the franchise together? GTFO here Kyrie. You're a player

Barely even a player half of the time

Can I be the person who breaks the news to Kyrie that he's a dime-a-dozen chucker?

nah, he's elite when he's on the court. The problem is getting him on the court consistently

Hey i’ve seen this one before!

Giving Kyrie anything more than a 2 year deal would be a mistake

If kyrie is the reason Steve Nash gets fired. I'm a kyrie fan again.

LOL As much as I don't like that baggage called Kyrie, I'm with you on this.

Good luck you guys lmao

Fuck this shit I want to tank and build around Cam Derozan Thomas

Nets have no 1st round pick control until 2028 thanks to the Harden trade lol. Pain

Be careful, he said he would resign with Boston too 😂

What concerns me about this quote is that Kyrie had neglected to mention Ben Simmons. They're the Nets' "Big 3" now. KD, Kyrie, and Ben should be the ones to "manage the franchise" and select "the pieces" alongside Joe Tsai and Sean Marks.

the less kyrie and ben are involved in running the franchise the better imo

Oh god. The dude is so damn delusional.

Holy shit. Is this a real quote? Get this cancer the fuck away from the nets. He managed it into a fucking joke already.

First the team doesnt gel right (because of Kyrie), now he's the one managing the team? Bruhhh

smh...how about keep your focus on basketball. I'd settle for that, playing 70 games a season

please send this delusional loser to siberia

please get rid of him, so tired of his bullshit. gtfo Kyrie, we don't really like you here

Nets fans: Time to start cheering for the Knicks, y’all are screwed.

That’s even worse! We aren’t that screwed

He also said he would resign with Boston…

Let him walk. This guy is a fucking clown.

I think you guys are better off without this dude. So much drama but can't even play a whole season.

Man fuck this guy and his arrogant ass. You want to manage the franchise together? Your dumbass isn't even there half the time. Fuck you Kyrie

This may shock people, but this is not news. We've known that KD and Kyrie have a say. Same could be said for a lot of the vet stars in the league. That is the way it is in the NBA. Some folks may not know this, but this also is the way that any company is run. There is a CEO, there is an owner (or owner group or a board of directors) and their voices may be the strongest, but the executives have a say in managing the company. And stars are the equivalent of senior executives.

Not in Boston

exactly. you'd even be foolish if you didn't give your star players input on the roster. But with Kyrie I want to see a focus and commitment from him first. That's the first thing that needs to change

Guys - let’s take a deep breath. We have none of OUR round picks and owe picks swaps FOREVER, we need this guy to stay. Ben, Irving, KD if healthy and motivated is a championship team. I know that’s a solid IF especially after tonight, but realistically with our situation bringing these guys back and hoping things are “normal” is our best bet.

Things are never “normal” with Kyrie. Ever. Despite the persona this joker tries to put on, he’s only ever carrying negative energy with him in every basketball situation he’s in. Having his aura around is almost as bad as the aura Simmons has around him.

Having said that - I think it’s a terrible quote and while not related would like Nash gone. He got so exposed this year.

Yay?

Man no thanks, we'll pass.

I think Joe Tsai, who just spent $266MM on payroll and tax for this season's shitshow, sees this kind of thing and gets about 10x more PO'd than we are.

Listen, you guys may wanna wait until pen is on paper before you believe him. We’ve seen this one before.

Didn’t he say he was gonna resign with Boston in a big speech in TD Garden? Don’t trust a word this psycho says.

He's an elite talent. Can't get one on the open market, so gotta resign him. Ideally, I'd give him the money but short term. I don't feel comfortable giving five years to someone whose commitment I question. Already got one of those in Ben

The Nets can’t seriously be thinking of signing him to a Max contract after what he pulled this year?

We are so fucked

Getting bad Celtics flashbacks

I’m just happy both KD and Kyrie are here for the long haul

I want kyrie to stay. Now that the dumbass vaccine mandate is gone, we’ll have him for a full season.

He will find another reason to abandon the team, it's what he does.

Good.

Hey at least he didn’t say Joe, Sean, and Steve!

Joe Harris?? Lmao wtf

He meant Joe Tsai

It wasn’t Kyrie or KD who signed all these 6’2 guys and didn’t sign any other skilled players.

It’s hilarious how they’re assigning the roster composition onto those guys. Kyrie may very well be a nut job, but Sean Marks is ultimately responsible for how disastrous the roster was built. He has his work cut out for him this summer.

[удалено]

Of course

So many Celtics fans here. Their team advanced in the playoffs but still here obsessed over Kyrie like a crazy ex
