There's a lot of rumors that Irving is really a big problem with the Nets management. Early this year, he broke a safety protocol implemented by the NBA, and then Kyrie become estrange with his team mates and his coach. And it seems that Kyrie is not a communicator, or at least not opening up with the management and his team itself.
It seems that Irving has a terrible temper if these rumors are true. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the Brooklyn Nets still have problems with mutual understanding on the court during next season, considering that Irving is more worried about his stats per game rather than team results.

Nice to see that Kyrie Irving is still his same toxic self. After a myriad of wild antics last year it seems the Nets have decided that they might want to move on from the diva guard. In response to the Nets showing an interest in trading Kyrie, his agent has come out and said publicly that Kyrie will retire before playing with another team, seeming to tank his trade value and force the Nets to keep him on the roster. Today Kyrie tweeted, My mask is off. Now take yours off. No fear. He then clarified that this had nothing to do with Covid. Assumingly, this is his response to the team's trade desire and him playing his "retirement" card.
He is a great player we all know that but his ego and his attitude destroys his reputation in the NBA. His sudden decisions like this is the one that is harming his career. Now he created another drama regarding trading and retirement shit. I might agree that he will get traded but retired? I don't think so
.I don't know if his attitude like that will be changed but if he will get traded to another team again, good luck to them because they will get a player who decides like crazy
. A drama king. He is kind to other people though especially those in need 
. 
Although Kyrie belongs to all stars of the NBA, it will harm his reputation if he gets traded from time to time, it only leaves one indication for those who understand, and that means he has an attitude problem that's why he would not fit in any team that values chemistry more than individual talents.
Good luck with his future, he is still young, he will get traded more unless he retires early, which is a bad idea as that's throwing money.

And this childish act:

I saw that particular game after they beat the Celtics, that's a big disrespect on the team that gives him a chance to play and lead the team. It's just that his attitude would never please a team and I think he doesn't like to play with other star players along as he wants the focus to be on him. Kyrie stepping on the Celtics logo is something, I read in the comments on the video clip you shared and it's hilarious because it's true.
Lol! Anger management. . Kyrie seems to have that issue that's why he cannot appreciate the opportunity that he has. Back when he was still a rookie, he challenge Kobe in their game and he was playing Kobe one on one, and he was really good although he lost in that battle. I never thought he would grow like an entitled man, thinking that he is the best player in the NBA and he deserves what he wants.
I get it, he already won a championship, but that was because Lebron joined back the Cavaliers back then and he can never win a championship without a player better than him in the same team.

Kyrie has always been a horrible person, not saying he is a bad basketball player, he is a good basketball player but he was always a weird one. Maybe we should be calling him that as his nickname? Instead of "the chosen one" we should make it like "the weird one", I can think of all the memes joking about him .I would say that there is a good chance we could see him ousted from the league very soon, if he can't deal with Nets and become a better locker room person and actually provide something to the team, then he is going to be bought out and fired basically, some other teams will give it a chance but he would be way too out of control after that and he would be ousted from the league even though he could still play. No way any team would get a good player if he has a horrible personality, Kyrie is not MJ or Kobe, he needs to be at least decent.

Wow. He is really full of himself. I understand why he doesn't want the Nets to let him go, he want to prove himself first putting the Nets to a championship game so that his value will go up again. Because right now, if they let him go, his value will surely go down due to injuries and that bad playoffs event against the Bucks. His agent is wise also saving his ass from losing a lot of money, use the retirement card because this means like a buyout, right? Correct me if I am wrong.

Nets should just pull the trigger to end this quickly if they really want him out but it sounds stupid to let Irving go at this point when the league is about to start. They should know by now the importance of a deep roster since they were eliminated last season because of injuries.
And team chemistry as well. If they kept him on their roster, there could be some friction in the locker room or if Irving keeps going into the public with his issues with the management, maybe sooner or later someone will step up and tell Irving that he might take it negatively. So it's better for them to start the season not just healthy but have a positive attitude towards winning a champion because that is their main goal. No need for some distractions and drama around.

As he knows that once he has been traded again and failed to help any team that will acquire him, his value will fall.Not new to Kyrie. He's been known to be like that and this time it's the Nets who need to deal with him.
Because right now, if they let him go, his value will surely go down due to injuries and that bad playoffs event against the Bucks.
Right! That injury might be the question if trade happened, and he failed to help bring his new team to win a title.

Following you with that statement, if that's true since he still young he can just rest for a while then comeback and announce that he will going to play again. Banking the money and rest for some time. Cool idea!
I know this is business, but being a star player, one should become a model and maintain his reputation until he retires.
My first thought when OG shared it but just didn't write it. Kids are looking up to them and one way to give back is being a role model for them. It's not mandatory but that's how stars should act if my memory serves me right.
A good read for the Chicago Bulls fans here.
Four reasons why revamped Bulls can make serious noise in East this season: Expectations rising in Windy City
Quote
1. LaVine set to shed 'empty stats' label
2. Ball fills a hole that hasn't been filled since D-Rose
3. Williams' development after strong rookie campaign
4. DeRozan + Vucevic + LaVine = tons of points
Their offense is now stretched with different options and they can really be a scary team in the East. 2. Ball fills a hole that hasn't been filled since D-Rose

Who will handle them? Billy Donovan. The same guy who handled the OKC after losing great players and WB was the only one left. Somehow he still managed to bring OKC to the playoffs despite the losses.

Why would Irving talk about retirement?
He is only 29 years old and he still has more seasons to play, I would say he is still in his prime right now, the only problem is he gets easily injured.

No surprises though if Nets wanted to trade him, yeah he made his own drama while in the Nets uniform and he thinks that he is untouchable in this league. And for sure Nets have been looking for a way to move him out of the team. Still a win win for Nets if they trade him, for sure they will get a lot of caliber players in exchange. And then the team receiving him could use his service. I think Durant + Harden will be enough for the Nets to win a ring, and let this diva and head ache teammate get out.

Great to see Aaron Gordon get his 92 million dollar bag today. He has in my mind the greatest dunk ever in a dunk contest and was robbed of two dunk championships by terrible judges. He deserves the $ just for that in my opinion. It’s been a long grind for him getting all his skills in order, but he’s a threat from anywhere now and a great pickup for any team.
Great decision. Yes! As a Denver Nuggets fan, this will really be helpful for Jokic. Paul Milsap is already out so he needs a power forward that could help him take defensive and offensive rebounds below the rim. Porter Jr. is still young and they should also consider him as a shooting guard where he is good at.
With the help of Jeff Green and JaMychal Green, yes 2 Greens
they now have a solid painted area defense. Campazzo can take care of the outside and be a pest to point guards.
Imagine around 40 games missed and let's say with a 20-25PPG average, that's about around 800 to 1,000 points that James is supposed to achieve right now. He's now seeing hitting the age and 25 PPG now is a tough task for LeBron. He is turning 37 this year. Good thing there's Westbrook that will now act as their PG so LeBron no need to be athletic fully per game.
James can still score more than 25 PPG, and I guess he will be able to focus on scoring points next season. By the way, Westbrook will make this task easier for James because he will do other work on the court. I'm sure that Russell won't leave the court until he makes another triple-double (it's a joke ).Naturally I don't think he's even wants to be a 25pt scorer he was in his career earlier on and in games where he had no one around him he has to press the issue. But he wants to more be a point forward than anything, and run the game. He has brow, Westbrook etc to light up the scoreboard. I can see him settle in at 18-20 points a game. They are going to manage his minutes so long as the bench is healthy.
Perhaps the points was being projected to be his average if he ever want to break Jabbar's record. If he can't score 25 ppg then maybe he will need more games to tie and surpassed it.
I agree that there are a lot of options in the Lakers, unlike before it was him and AD. But we have Westbrook and a bunch of experienced players that can have their prime back and give us a game that we can remember.
