You can hear it in Robs voice that he’s genuinely disappointed in this move. KDs inability to hold Kyrie accountable is the biggest issue. Allowing Kyrie to run amok and do whatever is what lead to this situation.
@@jphillips7495 Got dudes like Stephan A smith protecting this dude. They literally just destroyed a franchise. Gave them everything they wanted, KD gets swept and now wants out 😭😭
Rob has been going to bat for KD for YEARS. Defending him even when he himself knew it was hard to. You can tell this hurts him as a fan. This team paid this man the max deal even though they knew he would sit for a year, when the Knicks wouldn't do it and that's the main place he wanted to go, before Kyrie talked him into Brooklyn. He allowed Kyrie to use him as leverage against the team. Like, dude, you left to lead your own team. So lead. Either give up the goat discussion and stop going at every single person who comments about you, or lead. Steph caught heat during their rebuild. It fueled him. LeBron caught heat for going to Miami and knew he had unfinished business in Cleveland, it fueled him. Kobe wanted LA to be his team and caught heat when Shaq left and won a title in Miami. It fueled him. This all comes down to the fact that Durant wants to be able to just hoop and not take on the leadership responsibility of being a 'Bus Driver', but still wants to be in the GOAT discussion. There is no shortcut to getting into that discussion.
KD was smart in saying he will not interfere with Kyrie's contract negotiations. He also made a point to say Kyrie has the right to do what he wants how he wants, knowing full well he had the intention to do the same.
Wow I never thought I would sit here one day and agree with rob Parker. This is by far the most objective I’ve ever seen Rob. I really thought he was gonna come up with some irrational excuses to meat ride KD as always. Big respect for sure.
@@darnellwilliams8783 BS LeBron would NEVER do some ridiculous nonsense like this. He fulfills his contractual obligations, not duck tail and run. This so called big 3 was nothing but cowards.......
How? KD had very good reasons to leave. He can't rely on Kyrie to show up to play and Ben Simmons constantly have excuses to not play plus he haven't improved his game.
Lol! I like Chris and I got off the KD bus (see what I did there?) after he left OKC. But, I was in disbelief at CB's description of KD there. Felt a bit personal...
To think so many people were killing James Harden for bailing on the team last season. Now he looks like a damn genius. I actually feel bad for Brooklyn. This has turned into a disaster of epic proportion. They're now going to be losing their two superstars, and the only thing they've got to show for all the money and picks they threw away is a 200 pound anvil in Ben Simmons just waiting to sink what's left of the ship next year. They might even lose a ton of their role players like Blake Griffin. A lot of those guys took pay cuts to come play with KD. They might end up having trouble keeping even their basic players.
Lol genius? He started this mess. This dude was KD’s friend and they don’t even speak now based on seeing his pathetic work ethic and in-between partying during 8 game road trips.
Prior to KD and Kyrie, the Nets had a young and upcoming team that was the future and these two guys literally gutted the team and now he bounces? Dude is not that guy, he's a great scorer and that's about it. Put Melo on the Warriors around the same time and Melo gets two rings. KD was built up by Nike in order to sell shoes, he is really not that guy. Out of all the superstars, dude is the only one that has not lead a team to anything but failure, dude just got swept and now he runs, just pathetic.
The man lead his team to the Finals twice with no stars playing alongside him in 2007 and 2018. KD will NEVER EVER in his long legged life be able to accomplish that cuz he needs a 73-9 win team to get over the hump.
Ya'll should've known this about K.D when he went to GSW. K.D is a great scorer. Legendary scorer, but he's not THAT GUY. He's a tag along that, because of his scoring ability, can tip a contender over the top. He can't lead an average team to a place of over achievement. He has the talent to, but he doesn't have the mental toughness to do it. He just doesn't care.
Let's put it like this. If you swap Jimmy Butler for KD, KD wouldn't get out of the 2nd rd. He has 0 mental toughness and absolutely no leadership. All of those values were already instilled in the Warrior organization. Great coaching, mvp franchise player in Steph, 2nd greatest shooter ever 2 way wing in Klay, and elite on ball defender guts and glue emotional leader dpoy in Draymond. Also it helps having veterans like Iggy and Livingston coming off the bench giving you great production when called upon. So congrats KD. You were brought to GSW to help shoulder the load with Steph to overcome Lebron and Kyrie. By the way any top 15 player could've joined Steph, Klay, and Dray. He'll all you need is someone to give better contributions than Harrison Barnes did. Kinda like what Wiggins and Poole just did in the Finals.
You have got to be kidding. Put Jimmy butler on nets this past year and KD on the heat you really think the nets better? For real? These dudes wild. Calling KD selfish when everyone around him haven’t played for the past two years. These guys just need something to talk about
Honestly, I'm not sure the talent is there. He is great, yes, but we've seen him be minimized. He is too thin and can be pushed around. He doesn't have the body of LeBron to singlehandedly take over. He doesn't have the game of Jordan or Kobe. He doesn't move off ball enough and let his team work like Steph. KD is awesome, but he's an individual talent that can be inserted anywhere and make them a heavy favorite but he isn't going to lead them there if it's solely up to him.
He made the WCF in the last season with OKC. I'd say he did well. KD won everything except a ring when he left OKC in 2016. It was only natural that he'd go with the best opportunity to get it. I don't think there was another player in the NBA with his resume and zero rings prior to GS. It was a no brainer but I get the criticism.
KD is rightfully tired of trying to depend upon Kyrie to play hard and try to win another championship. Kyrie is flaky, unreliable, not dependable. Harden was a whiny dud, Simmons is a mental case, injured and lazy, and showed no value to the team when needed, last season; KD knows it's a WRAP in Brooklyn for another ring. Good for him!
KD goin out SAD AF. I can’t believe I’m agreeing with Rob. But I agree. The man just isn’t a leader and he proves it time and time again. I hope he goes to Phoenix so GSW can mollywop his ass till he retires 😂
Yep. he can't go to the Warriors cause Steph will always have 🏆🏆 up on him. It was a DAF trusting Kyrie with his legacy! Kyrie is no Steph Curry! If KD is not careful history will be comparing KD to Giannis not Steph cause 4 beats 2, and Giannis is only one chip away 😂😂😂😆😆😂
KD fans are even bigger cowards than KD which is hard to do. They used to be on here beating their chest, now they’re in hiding since Kevin DuCant did a no show in the first round lol losers
Right. The guy who played every game he could drove the bus off the cliff. You do know KD doesn't coach, or make trades, or tell his teammates to force themselves out or not get vaccinated, right? KD is just cursed with bad sidekicks. Outside of his stint in Golden State, his list of teammates have all been controversial for different reasons. I don't know how you can hold him accountable for the things someone else does.
@@DReppin2009 you sound like someone that's never been in a leadership position. I run a crew of ten guys, sometimes many more than that. Know who's fault it is when something goes wrong? It's my fault. Regardless of what any of my guys do it's ultimately my responsibility to make sure things go right.
Any team would blow that squad up 100 times out of 100. Its Kevin Fuckin Durant, possibly one of the top 15 guys EVER. It didnt work...ok. Still a risk you take at the time.
Charles Barkley was right, Kevin Durant can’t drive the bus, he doesn’t want the responsibility of being the main guy. when he was in Golden State it was the perfect situation, Bcus all he had to do was play basketball. and that’s all he wants to do. he can’t handle being the guy.but on the flip side I can see why he would want to leave , Kyrie Irving is unpredictable. he decides when he wants to go to work , or if he is going to play.but as far as I’m concerned I can’t look at KD the same.he a superstar that doesn’t want the pressure or expectations that comes with being a superstar
Steph isn't the leader in gsw he barely speaks lol...the one that talks is green. Steph just shows up and plays just like kd and fo along with whatever the coach says.
@@jackcoop4687 how can you possibly disagree? I’m not even saying it’s wrong. But this is so clearly the most selfish era in the history of professional sports
@@MuayThai80 Normally super-star got a no-trade clause in their contract and teams cant do whatever they want to them. Nobody cares if Javale McGee demand a trade or threaten to sit his ass on the bench otherwise. Its about the superstar and their power play with team management that is the thing, and that seems to be only in the NBA. Can you imagine Mahomes demande the Chiefs trade him to the RAMs in the middle of a 10 year deal? That never happens.

Come back with partially guaranteed contracts, incentive based deals.
@@mrhoopfan1 no arguments here. I genuinely only care about on the court hoops but when business bleeds into the game and puts a spotlight on everything except basketball, something needs to be done while still compensating those that show up to work.
Ohh these owners gonna cut all these perks... load management, dont wanna play. .demand a trade with 4 years left... Player gonna give back money or contract null and void.. and watch fanboys gonna blame racism 😂
This shows how special and now, how rare it will be to see a team like the Warriors with Steph, Klay, and Draymond staying together for what may be their whole career is. The franchise drafts and ownership does what they have to to keep their guys, who want to stay together too. If they re-sign Looney, they’ll have 11 guys they drafted (Assuming their 1st 2 draftees make the roster) on the team. They should be appreciated more and stop the hate towards them. Gonna be top contenders for the next 4-5 yrs, maybe 10+ if Poole, Kuminga, Moody, Wiseman reach their potential, which 2-4 can be all stars.
Yeah but none of them are Durant tho... They're a good team, but as far as individual caliber they're not there. They're also well coached, ppl ignore that
@@bagoboy2446 They don't need to be Durant, though. They are the consummate team. Curry could have asked to be traded after 2020, with the team having the worst record. Draymond could have demanded to leave. But they stayed.
@@syzorst you don't seem to understand.... KD was meant to be the face of that team. The leader of that franchise. Plus he had agreement with the ownership. What you're telling me is winning a chip is mor important than having integrity and honour?? I'm not saying he shouldn't want to leave its the way he is doing it that people are upset about.
@@jordandavis3867 it's odd to me. You guys talk about integrity and honor like he hasn't stayed quiet and played out his contract everywhere he's been. Brooklyn took KD and Kai. They signed on for both of those guys. You can't change the terms now. I understand why KD is frustrated. The basketball side of things has been nothing but inconsistency, but you gotta see it through with Kyrie. The front office can't decide to play hard ball now, so yes, integrity and honor goes both ways.
@@DReppin2009 They paid the man max dollar in a year when they knew he wouldn't play, without even knowing for sure that he would be the same player when he returned (Torn Achilles can change an athlete's play drastically).
Nets stay getting fleeced man smh. Should have just stayed with the young core they had. Gave KD a max deal with a torn Achilles, dealt with Kyrie’s up and down personality and never went against him or complained in the media, traded for Harden just for him to leave not even a year later. KD is a phenomenal basketball player but he really doesn’t have a legacy. Like he just made himself a footnote in nba history, he’ll be mentioned but glossed over
These players up and leaving is a horrible look for the Association. I am all for players having rights and make their money. However to make these “super teams” and then just leave and in the process leave the team in ruins is really bad! It seems like their are hardly any fans of teams anymore and it reflects on the TV Ratings! It is just sad to see this happening to basketball!
Basically players want to sign 1-year deal but at max money level, so that they can go whenever and wherever they want while making the big bucks. There is zero problem with that, except that not how team sport are operated.
Ima say this. If not for Covid this team will still be together. Also if Kyrie stayed healthy last year they win the title. Series of unfortunate events happened to the Nets.
I just can't understand why the media can't openly admit that all these situations, first with Harden and now with KD is the result of Kyrie decision to refuse to play. That was unfair to his teammates, the fans and the organization.
This is America where you're supposed to be free of religious persecution. What the media and nets has done to kyrie over his religious choice not to get the vaxxx is disgusting. And KD a whole bitch for bailing on someone that was supposed to be his friend
Funny that there are actually people who are "now" losing respect for Durant. Is who he is. Soft. Weak. Bandwagoner. Miserable teammate and employee. Go join a local rec league so you can win every year and not have to climb the mountain and take your lumps.
I’m old enough to remember Rob jumping on the Nets bandwagon when they added Harden. He took several shots at LeBron && the Lakers saying IT’S OVER!!! I know y’all remember that??
When the Warriors got KD to join them to beat Lebron that spoke volume to me. Then they said they didn't need him to win. Kd is a great player and I really like him. He built up Curry's Legacy and hurt his own legacy. They did stop Lebron because LBJ, could not beat 5 all-stars.
Looks like Ben Simmons went to the right place. He wanted out and didn't want to run it back with a team that was the #1 seed in the East, now he is in Brooklyn where all the stars decided they wanted out before running it back again with a team that looks like it was stacked in NBA 2k
I was a huge KD fan and apologist for a long time. I’ve loss so much respect for him today. I’m a Nets season ticket holder and I will no longer buy season tickets after this year. The NBA is a complete joke. No honor or accountability. Done with him and the NBA as a whole. Just a whole level of selfishness on display.
The turmoil around these two prior to and presently with Brooklyn is such a shame, it’s almost legitimately sad. At one point, both were two of the most likable guys in the league. To a degree, I think most people WANT to still like and enjoy them. But this entire Nets fiasco has been a train wreck since conception. Injuries, games missed while healthy, dismissing Nash as the coach, adding Harden, losing Harden, adding Ben, confused about Ben… just damn!
they were never two of the most likeable players in the league ESPECIALLY not kyrie lmfao. likable guys in the league are guys like wiggins, ingram, giannis, al horford. dudes that play and get it done without all the theatrics and posturing. total opposite of someone like kyrie.
Think you forgot that time period he went without talking to any of the coaching staff or f.o, while randomly taking his own leave of absence & not wearing a mask while at multiple events…. First part is the same he did in Cleveland & Boston smh he’s like my 6yo nephew
Not to mention Kevin Durant only played half a season in his second year in Brooklyn. Even this past season, Duran played in fewer games than LeBron James.
Fundamentally, KD is leaving the Nets because his friend got his feelings hurt after a lot of egregiously questionable behavior for which he is unwilling to admit that he did anything wrong.
This is America where you're supposed to be free of religious persecution. What the media and nets has done to kyrie over his religious choice not to get the vaxxx is disgusting. And KD a whole bitch for bailing on someone that was supposed to be his friend
This is why love Rob or hate him,he is SPOT ON on this one! Them guys totally wrong for this man. Kyrie would have to ball out this year anyways to try to get his "value" for next year,(altho he seems to know that hes going to LA) but regardless,play this last year guyss. You have got a great team,ball out,get that citty a championship,then leave. They would still feel funny about you guys,but atleast you got them a championship. They wrong for this man. Especially because they did everything yall asked for.
Let this be a reminder to all, this is what happens when you spoil your children, you give them everything you allow them take control of the household and then they turn on you after all you've done for them. Moral of the story you have to let your kids no who's in charge so that they will respect you.
@@fashionlife5348 WRONG, he still has 4 years on something they call a CONTRACT, now that is business, breaking a contract is not a good business practice so GTFOH with that crap. You can't break a contract because you got swept, or because you force them to hire a rookie coach that can't coach to save his life. You cannot break an agreement because you forced an organization to sign Kyrie aka rebel without a cause Irving as your teammate. I wouldn't trade him and if he gives me problems, I would make sure that he lives to regret it. Who's he playing with ? Spencer gone, Jarrett gone, Prince gone, Harden gone, LeVert gone, Kyrie a disaster. Naw you got it twisted, you ain't going nowhere until you 38 homeboy that's what you get when you try to play me. Congratulations 👏 you played yourself.
@@maskedsports2354 Thats why they came to a deal and He will leave thats how it is but the Media always trynna preach the slave ownership i own the players narrative like we in the 1600s foh
@@bfns2353 if I’m being honest I didn’t really care when he when to GSW. I figured he has the right to do what he wants. And he still does really But then he joined my favorite team, the Nets, and I became more invested in him and started defending his moves Now I understand why people had issues with him before. Unfortunately I had to wait until it happened to my team for me to realize I was wrong about him He truly disappointed me
The problem with KD is he only makes decisions to make other people like him, instead of what he wants to do. He went to the Warriors because he was tired of people criticizing him for not having a ring, then when he got 2 rings and not everyone appreciated them he left. Now he's basically choosing Phoenix or Miami which are the 2 best teams that he'd be the clear number 1 on, both who have already made the finals. It's kinda sad that he spends all this effort seeking the validation of others and yet he still is one of the most hated players in the nba.
*When I look at all time greats, I like to see their impact for the game, for themselves, and for their teams. For example, when you think of Kobe, you instantly see him in a Lakers uniform; but for KD, I'm at a lost with how fast he switches teams.*
Dirk, Giannis, Curry and Duncan are much better examples than Kobe. Let’s not forget that Kobe ran Shaq out of LA in 2004 and when the Lakers sucked because of the Shaq trade in the summer 2007, Kobe demanded to get traded. When Jerry West gifted the Lakers Pau Gasol, Kobe became loyal again and won. Don’t use Kobe as an example for team loyalty!!!
Organizations are just as selfish as the players. Don’t believe for one second if KD dropped off a cliff skill wise an organizations wouldn’t drop him. These teams are not paying these players out of the kindness of their hearts
Now we all clearly know what KD thought about that Ben Simmons trade... remember that interview with Lebron (all smiles) and KD (no smiles at all) before the allstar game? It was right after the trade.. go see it again, and you'll get what i mean...
KD said he was excited to play with people who want to be a part of the team. And he also skirted Harden while picking the All Star team. So I don’t think KD was all that upset about the trade.
@@smokesmitty1 who & when ? They blame Westbrook for Okc he supposedly saved the warriors & now kyrie harden Steve nash & Ben Simmons getting blamed for the Nets
Finally someone is saying what I was thinking. Chris and Rob said it. Particularly Chris KD looks like a lost soul. I may not agree with Charles Barkley choice of words but KD is not a bus driver he’s just a really good player, but not a leader.
I always thought KD took GSW for granted and still to this day, doesn't what he know what he actually wants. He probably thought this is easy, I can go anywhere and do this cuz I know better. Didn't learn a thing from seeing and experiencing from the top down on how a championship organization is run.
He was trying to 3 peat. I don't think he saw much to do after that. That organization peaked. They was no way for KD to leave an imprint there. If you got your rings and you're looking at your legacy, you can't stay on a team that accomplished so much before you landed there. I really don't understand why folks act like him staying in GS was something honorable. He did the right thing to leave. It was too easy.
@@DReppin2009 did you seriously say winning a chip is easy? 🤯. He should have stayed and gotten as many rings out of GS as he could. Then he could sit back and laugh at all yall who are mad about his 10+ Chips 5-6 FMVPS and billions of dollars!
@@myishacausey6199 no one respected his move to GS. No one would respect him staying there and "stacking chips". That's the narrative going around, right? That KD staying with GS would've guaranteed success. I'm saying that his legacy would've been he couldn't do it as the main guy so he joined a 73-9 team and rode their coattails into the sunset. Folks gonna hate regardless of what KD did. Him leaving OKC for Golden State will always be the underlying factor.
@@DReppin2009 It’s Unfortunate that, that had been repeated so much you believe it. Whether you believe THIS or not. NOT everyone believes that. Its too bad the media had created and perpetuated it so much that sheep follow the flock. Are you a sheep too?
Rob is hurt by his words but it’s the truth. As a KD fan that defended the Warriors move, I can’t defend this. Quit in the playoffs against Boston and leave Brooklyn, I agree with Rob 100 percent. This is worse.
If you cosign this clown Rob then you're a joke at best. KD 34 why would he let the remaining years go to waist so he can look like Lebron. The Nets front office is trash and haven't obtained the right pieces. They signed Blake Griffin over Jeff Green. The needed a center and did nothing. Didn't go after PJ tucker before he went to the bucks and after. Just remember how Rob talks gets you smacked in the street.
KD never quit against Boston in the playoffs dude what's you smoking 😂😂 it was Kyrie that quit on them dude played the best playoffs game since in Cleveland KD has two or three people at him get your fact straight.
KD acting like this makes think higher Westbrook. I blamed all OKC's losses on Westbrook but there might have been a better reason he hogged the ball from KD and sort of worked against him.
Bruh I've ALWAYS thought higher of Westbrook. Y'all the fans need to stop following these narratives the media spew out. Everyone got so hyped by those championships that people forgot about this one intangible.....he went to a team that beat him the year before. Did NOBODY exept a few see how weak that was. What I'm saying is none of this is a surprise lol
Bingo Sam Presti trusted Westbrook more than KD. That’s why they moved him to where he wanted to go. KD left a first class organization in OKC. They way he did OKC I never liked him after that. He didn’t have a owner that hated him like Lebron did.
@@mylessmith8059 game 5 it seemed like KD purposely was throwing the game. I believe he threw the series on purpose bcuz he already knew he was gonna leave.
Thank you Rob. Been a Nets fan for 15 years, this weak move by KD has truly made my NBA “fever” go away. No point of watching a league where players can completely bull doze a franchise for fun. How can a fanbase support a team that can be ruined by 2 people.
That’s y guys like Curry and Giannis and even Jokic and Doncic are players that people should look up too and rly root for because there staying with 1 team and being extremely successful with them.
Kyrie wanted out first. He said he wanted to be traded if the Nets didn't offer him a 5 year max. His future with Brooklyn is very uncertain. That's the reason KD is requesting a trade.
@@LordBranniganThe Yeah I have to agree. He's shown to be mentally weak over and over again. It's a shame. I still like him, but can't deny his faults.
Kyrie Irving single handedly destroyed a championship level team. He had a whole drama with a vaccine almost the whole league took and his whole team took to play which ran James harden out of town. Kyrie then has the balls to demand a full max and just create more drama and kd is looking at that and looking at soft boy Simmons and just peace’s out I can’t blame him
Steve Kerr said working with KD is like walking on egg shells, you need to be careful on everything. Golden State winning the championship crushed him big time mahn with all the legacy talks.
did kerr say that in an interview? When? I'd love to read that bit of truth. KD's last year was stressful for the team because KD moped around all year with one foot out the door. Plus, his one year contracts always meant that the Bay was not his home for long and that's why he never got half the love that Curry gets
It's on Irving. Rob's wrong here. Durant fought through a career killing injury to play against the Bucks and if not for a big toe on a line, takes Brooklyn to the NBA Finals. Simmons can't be trusted. Durant needs to win now.
How do you let KD of the hook? If he was an actual leader all this wouldn’t have happened fr they got swept in the first round is that also kyries fault? Kyrie deserves most of the blame but KD is part of it too. Zero leadership man. Now all of a sudden he wants out with 4 years left on his contract. Crazy man
i am confused why is he leaving. he is the reason kyrie was there. he chose to play with him. he chose for the team to be gutted to get harden. he chose for steve nash to be a coach.
Even if it is on Kyrie, KD folded quick af and it does seem cowardice. Although it seems they should win, but he isn't a sure shot like in 17 and 18. I think it's the pressure. Nothing else makes sense. You still got a good fuckn chance with Kyrie next year
When it was reported that the Nets were willing to let KD walk as well if he didn't agree with how they were handling Kyrie that was it.... Media was out here applauding the organization like let them both walk and take back control.... Now he walks and the same media is like he's so weak 😭...foh
@@Gamingdoc KD helped create the mess that the Nets are in. So how is it a good move for him to create this situation and then dip?? KD will not win again. He will continue to be a journeyman due to his own bad decision-making. Rob is 100% correct.
@Danny Tallmage Lebron’s rings outweighs Jordan’s rings any day. Lebron had way better competition to beat and Jordan didn’t win until the great players got old
Kd is in panic mode after the warriors won the championship. He’s now just desperate to win a ring. Would not be surprised if he went to phoenix or Miami as they were not the top seeds. What a shame
As Durant was intent on leaving the Warriors, he got a call from Kawhi to team up with him at the Clippers (prior to Kawhi’s call to PG13). Durant should have accepted. Image a Kawhi and Durant duo! Instead, Durant made the colossal mistake of denying Kawhi and accepting to team up with Kyrie. The rest is history. The media is not referencing this potential Kawhi / Durant combo that was denied by Durant.
I remember he teamed up with a dude that had just as much hate for Lebron like him. He and Kyrie only United out of envy for Lebron. They both weak dudes
Maybe a hypothetical, uninjured Kawhi. Had he been healthy, he, Paul George and the Clippers would have given the Warriors a run for their money this year.
thank you!! he's a all time talent but he is not a winner or went thru what it takes for us to be call him a champion he's not! he won literally the easiest chips anybody ever seen and yall threw him a parade and he actually showed up for it😭 smh
Pause 3:18. Thank you Rob for finally saying it. All these other so called experts are so busy. Trying to make up or put together their own KD trade packages. That they won't even touch the subject of KD leaving his 3rd team.
I'm shocked about KD trade demand, why sign the extension a year ago. The owners will have plenty to say about these dudes signing and then a year later requesting a trade. Steve Nash is glad he can actually coach, without the pressure of winning a title
2016 will forever haunt KD✔ you bounce with 3 teams cause his feelings got hurt😂🚫 i was huge Durant/OKC fan back then until the summer of 2016!! Westbrook was the alpha of OKC!! Durant was scared of him lmao!! Draymond is Golden State Alpha!! Basically he looked at Kyrie Irving as alpha lmao!! He hurt his feelings😂😂 so KD ran🙌 KD is step below Lebron and Steph.. He cemented that for sure this time
They acting like KD got 5 years left in his prime. My man has a 2 year window if he gets on a legit championship contender. That Nets organization is piss poor. When Harden left that was it. KD knows the ceiling is medocrity with just him and Kyrie. He gave it a shot, and he knows everyone on the Nets had an element of b.s. that limited them.
@@jordandavis3867 no one cares about honor except haters. It's a buzz word they conveniently use to slate players they don't like.

Lost his second and third best players last year, lost his second and third best players this year, on top of coming off a career ending injury. Context matters, but let's over simplify things. 🙄 There has been zero continuity with the Nets. No one is winning with the way things have gone. Put Klay and Dray in the same scenarios and tell me if the Warriors are going to do anything with Steph being the only constant. You can apply that logic to most teams and the results are the same.
@@DReppin2009 You tryna create all these hypotheticals when what you should be doing is dealing with the facts. Leave Steph outta this convo...

I always liked Kevin Durant, but I really hated that he left the OKC Thunder. I always prefer the player who can win a championship while remaining loyal to their team, like Dirk Nowitzki. Still, I understand the mentality of “winning at all costs,” but I guess I’m a little too old school. Nowadays, I think calling him a flake would be accurate.
Dirk one ring is worth more than LeBron and Kds rings even 2 of Steph's rings. Dirk beat Wade Bosh LeBron Kobe Kevin Durant Westbrook and Harden in that run . That's 7 hof and they swept Kobe.
I wouldn’t call this a “weak move” . This was calculated 100% . It’s clear to me KD was expecting Ky to opt out, the Nets use that cap space for a star/role players & stayed with the Nets . It seems to me Ky figured that out & to be petty, opted in . KD wanted no parts & now wants a trade . This narrative looks terrible cause this is similar to Shaq & Kobe
Kyrie only opted in because no other team could give him 31 million. He was tryna do a sign and trade. He could have only got 6 mil about from other teams. Also, this makes no sense because KD and Kyrie still wanna play together according to Woj.
Kyrie talks big, but he lost a shoe deal didn't he? And the Nets were not going to give him a long-term max contract. It was either 30+ or 6. He was taking the 30+. He's not built like that, no matter how much he talks. Few of us are. I'm certainly not.
For people to act like KD is a victim of Kyrie? Lol, you serious? They are boys. Peas in a pod. Miserable people and teammates. They wanted to run the Nets like they were above the coaches and management. And predictably they failed. KD can't win on his own. Can't build a winning culture. Soft. Egomaniacs who think their shhh don't stink. They deserve each other. It was nice to have two of the most unlikeable (elite talents, no denying that) on the same team. Made it so easy to root against and enjoy the schaudenfreude.
Lebron has played out all of his contracts, and Still YET… People hold “The Decision” against him when he went to the Heat. But KD went to the team that beat him to win a title and is now forcing his way out of Brooklyn. Now he’s getting a “little” criticism. Lebron could NEVER!
Keep in mind the two teams he requested to go to were the top seed in each respective conference. He has no dawg in him, dude just wants to coast to chips instead of earning them
Between the selfishness of players , load management , demanding trades if someone looks at them a certain way, the ridiculous flopping and no defense , I just can’t watch the NBA anymore.
Many reason why, the nets had young players that were on right direction and had a bright future and gave all that up to get him kyrie, DeAndre Jordan and harden when he had a good enough built for him there and could have play along with D'angelo Russell but instead wanted Kyrie leaving the nets to not give D'angelo Russell a max contract. On top of that he wants to go to play with kyrie but not in Brooklyn. There so much more reason to it but he not the only one to blame in this situation
@@mikevincent9186 he is the last person to blame bro, he was the only superstar that was all in, everything you saying is cool but the team that was put together was good enough to win! IF IF the other superstar cared as much as KD! Facts!
You can hear it in Robs voice that he’s genuinely disappointed in this move. KDs inability to hold Kyrie accountable is the biggest issue. Allowing Kyrie to run amok and do whatever is what lead to this situation.
That’s easy for him cause he’s never been a leader, every where he’s been he’s a beta not Alfa

Rob has been going to bat for KD for YEARS. Defending him even when he himself knew it was hard to. You can tell this hurts him as a fan. This team paid this man the max deal even though they knew he would sit for a year, when the Knicks wouldn't do it and that's the main place he wanted to go, before Kyrie talked him into Brooklyn. He allowed Kyrie to use him as leverage against the team. Like, dude, you left to lead your own team. So lead. Either give up the goat discussion and stop going at every single person who comments about you, or lead. Steph caught heat during their rebuild. It fueled him. LeBron caught heat for going to Miami and knew he had unfinished business in Cleveland, it fueled him. Kobe wanted LA to be his team and caught heat when Shaq left and won a title in Miami. It fueled him. This all comes down to the fact that Durant wants to be able to just hoop and not take on the leadership responsibility of being a 'Bus Driver', but still wants to be in the GOAT discussion. There is no shortcut to getting into that discussion.
Well said.💯
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Good point. KD just ain’t that dude
frankly, at this point, the idea of KD being in the GOAT discussion is just laughable. mentally he's just not even remotely in the discussion.
Funny how Kyrie is more of a leader than KD... It's just that Kyrie would/will lead u into a bear trap...with the 🐻 still in it. U are 💯 right btw.
KD was smart in saying he will not interfere with Kyrie's contract negotiations. He also made a point to say Kyrie has the right to do what he wants how he wants, knowing full well he had the intention to do the same.

Rob is a clown first off and KD has a right to ask for a trade. The Nets front office is trash. In life you have a right to move as you wish.

True
Yep
To think so many people were killing James Harden for bailing on the team last season. Now he looks like a damn genius.
I actually feel bad for Brooklyn. This has turned into a disaster of epic proportion. They're now going to be losing their two superstars, and the only thing they've got to show for all the money and picks they threw away is a 200 pound anvil in Ben Simmons just waiting to sink what's left of the ship next year.
They might even lose a ton of their role players like Blake Griffin. A lot of those guys took pay cuts to come play with KD. They might end up having trouble keeping even their basic players.
Lol genius? He started this mess.
This dude was KD’s friend and they don’t even speak now based on seeing his pathetic work ethic and in-between partying during 8 game road trips.
Prior to KD and Kyrie, the Nets had a young and upcoming team that was the future and these two guys literally gutted the team and now he bounces? Dude is not that guy, he's a great scorer and that's about it. Put Melo on the Warriors around the same time and Melo gets two rings. KD was built up by Nike in order to sell shoes, he is really not that guy. Out of all the superstars, dude is the only one that has not lead a team to anything but failure, dude just got swept and now he runs, just pathetic.

Ya'll should've known this about K.D when he went to GSW. K.D is a great scorer. Legendary scorer, but he's not THAT GUY. He's a tag along that, because of his scoring ability, can tip a contender over the top. He can't lead an average team to a place of over achievement. He has the talent to, but he doesn't have the mental toughness to do it. He just doesn't care.
Let's put it like this. If you swap Jimmy Butler for KD, KD wouldn't get out of the 2nd rd. He has 0 mental toughness and absolutely no leadership. All of those values were already instilled in the Warrior organization. Great coaching, mvp franchise player in Steph, 2nd greatest shooter ever 2 way wing in Klay, and elite on ball defender guts and glue emotional leader dpoy in Draymond. Also it helps having veterans like Iggy and Livingston coming off the bench giving you great production when called upon. So congrats KD. You were brought to GSW to help shoulder the load with Steph to overcome Lebron and Kyrie. By the way any top 15 player could've joined Steph, Klay, and Dray. He'll all you need is someone to give better contributions than Harrison Barnes did. Kinda like what Wiggins and Poole just did in the Finals.
@@samuelgainey8336 You said it better, lol
You have got to be kidding. Put Jimmy butler on nets this past year and KD on the heat you really think the nets better? For real? These dudes wild. Calling KD selfish when everyone around him haven’t played for the past two years. These guys just need something to talk about
@@seed.planted Butler is not a better scorer, but he's mentally tougher, and impact a team in a way K.D hasn't shown that he can.
Honestly, I'm not sure the talent is there. He is great, yes, but we've seen him be minimized. He is too thin and can be pushed around. He doesn't have the body of LeBron to singlehandedly take over. He doesn't have the game of Jordan or Kobe. He doesn't move off ball enough and let his team work like Steph. KD is awesome, but he's an individual talent that can be inserted anywhere and make them a heavy favorite but he isn't going to lead them there if it's solely up to him.
He only did well at GS, because he had zero pressure on him.
Facts
He made the WCF in the last season with OKC. I'd say he did well. KD won everything except a ring when he left OKC in 2016. It was only natural that he'd go with the best opportunity to get it. I don't think there was another player in the NBA with his resume and zero rings prior to GS. It was a no brainer but I get the criticism.
only did well in GS? u mean he sucked in OKC for 9 yrs? just say u just started watching ball in 2017
@@DReppin2009 He also took OKC to the finals as well
Only did well in GS clearly means it’s about that 3 year period.
KD got in his feelings when he found out Kyrie wanted to reunite with Lebron & said I want out! 🤣
KD is rightfully tired of trying to depend upon Kyrie to play hard and try to win another championship. Kyrie is flaky, unreliable, not dependable. Harden was a whiny dud, Simmons is a mental case, injured and lazy, and showed no value to the team when needed, last season; KD knows it's a WRAP in Brooklyn for another ring. Good for him!

Charles Barkley was right, Kevin Durant can’t drive the bus, he doesn’t want the responsibility of being the main guy. when he was in Golden State it was the perfect situation, Bcus all he had to do was play basketball. and that’s all he wants to do. he can’t handle being the guy.but on the flip side I can see why he would want to leave , Kyrie Irving is unpredictable. he decides when he wants to go to work , or if he is going to play.but as far as I’m concerned I can’t look at KD the same.he a superstar that doesn’t want the pressure or expectations that comes with being a superstar

This shows how special and now, how rare it will be to see a team like the Warriors with Steph, Klay, and Draymond staying together for what may be their whole career is. The franchise drafts and ownership does what they have to to keep their guys, who want to stay together too. If they re-sign Looney, they’ll have 11 guys they drafted (Assuming their 1st 2 draftees make the roster) on the team. They should be appreciated more and stop the hate towards them.

Looks like Ben Simmons went to the right place. He wanted out and didn't want to run it back with a team that was the #1 seed in the East, now he is in Brooklyn where all the stars decided they wanted out before running it back again with a team that looks like it was stacked in NBA 2k

You can't break a contract because you got swept, or because you force them to hire a rookie coach that can't coach to save his life. You cannot break an agreement because you forced an organization to sign Kyrie aka rebel without a cause Irving as your teammate. I wouldn't trade him and if he gives me problems, I would make sure that he lives to regret it. Who's he playing with ? Spencer gone, Jarrett gone, Prince gone, Harden gone, LeVert gone, Kyrie a disaster. Naw you got it twisted, you ain't going nowhere until you 38 homeboy that's what you get when you try to play me. Congratulations 👏 you played yourself.

I was a big KD apologist…can’t do it anymore
Nah. I can’t defend him anymore after today
How could you still do it after he joined the team that beat him/ best team in the league?
@@bfns2353 if I’m being honest I didn’t really care when he when to GSW. I figured he has the right to do what he wants. And he still does really
But then he joined my favorite team, the Nets, and I became more invested in him and started defending his moves
Now I understand why people had issues with him before. Unfortunately I had to wait until it happened to my team for me to realize I was wrong about him
He truly disappointed me
I agree with Chris, there are deeper things going on with Kevin. I hope he finds himself.
The problem with KD is he only makes decisions to make other people like him, instead of what he wants to do. He went to the Warriors because he was tired of people criticizing him for not having a ring, then when he got 2 rings and not everyone appreciated them he left. Now he's basically choosing Phoenix or Miami which are the 2 best teams that he'd be the clear number 1 on, both who have already made the finals. It's kinda sad that he spends all this effort seeking the validation of others and yet he still is one of the most hated players in the nba.
*When I look at all time greats, I like to see their impact for the game, for themselves, and for their teams. For example, when you think of Kobe, you instantly see him in a Lakers uniform; but for KD, I'm at a lost with how fast he switches teams.*
Dirk, Giannis, Curry and Duncan are much better examples than Kobe. Let’s not forget that Kobe ran Shaq out of LA in 2004 and when the Lakers sucked because of the Shaq trade in the summer 2007, Kobe demanded to get traded. When Jerry West gifted the Lakers Pau Gasol, Kobe became loyal again and won. Don’t use Kobe as an example for team loyalty!!!
All talent and no heart!
Agreed, Rob, but I'm going to go further. This era of NBA players are the most selfish and softest players ever in any sport.
Chumps and followers
If I were the Nets owner I'd tell that coward to hold a press conference and explain to the public why he wants out, else I won't trade you.
“ All Talent and No heart”
Tupacs word’s Tom Sheppard in Above the rim
💯
Organizations are just as selfish as the players. Don’t believe for one second if KD dropped off a cliff skill wise an organizations wouldn’t drop him. These teams are not paying these players out of the kindness of their hearts
Kyrie opts in, KD opts out.
😥selfishly out, not winning!😟 poor KD! He wants out!🔥🔥🔥
Now we all clearly know what KD thought about that Ben Simmons trade... remember that interview with Lebron (all smiles) and KD (no smiles at all) before the allstar game? It was right after the trade.. go see it again, and you'll get what i mean...
Good point !
KD said he was excited to play with people who want to be a part of the team. And he also skirted Harden while picking the All Star team. So I don’t think KD was all that upset about the trade.
Somebody had to say it this man been the most overprotected star ever it’s always somebody else’s fault when KD fails
U know they be slandering kd stop
Overprotected by who?? Lol
@@smokesmitty1 who & when ? They blame Westbrook for Okc he supposedly saved the warriors & now kyrie harden Steve nash & Ben Simmons getting blamed for the Nets
@@BigGuido7 It’s not KD fault with the Nets
More than Curry with the stack warriors?
Finally someone is saying what I was thinking. Chris and Rob said it. Particularly Chris KD looks like a lost soul. I may not agree with Charles Barkley choice of words but KD is not a bus driver he’s just a really good player, but not a leader.
I always thought KD took GSW for granted and still to this day, doesn't what he know what he actually wants. He probably thought this is easy, I can go anywhere and do this cuz I know better. Didn't learn a thing from seeing and experiencing from the top down on how a championship organization is run.
He was trying to 3 peat. I don't think he saw much to do after that. That organization peaked. They was no way for KD to leave an imprint there. If you got your rings and you're looking at your legacy, you can't stay on a team that accomplished so much before you landed there. I really don't understand why folks act like him staying in GS was something honorable. He did the right thing to leave. It was too easy.
@@DReppin2009 did you seriously say winning a chip is easy? 🤯. He should have stayed and gotten as many rings out of GS as he could. Then he could sit back and laugh at all yall who are mad about his 10+ Chips 5-6 FMVPS and billions of dollars!
@@myishacausey6199 no one respected his move to GS. No one would respect him staying there and "stacking chips". That's the narrative going around, right? That KD staying with GS would've guaranteed success. I'm saying that his legacy would've been he couldn't do it as the main guy so he joined a 73-9 team and rode their coattails into the sunset.
Folks gonna hate regardless of what KD did. Him leaving OKC for Golden State will always be the underlying factor.
@@DReppin2009 It’s Unfortunate that, that had been repeated so much you believe it. Whether you believe THIS or not. NOT everyone believes that. Its too bad the media had created and perpetuated it so much that sheep follow the flock. Are you a sheep too?

Please don't be mean to KD, you'll hurt is feelings. Draymond was right all along.

Rob is hurt by his words but it’s the truth. As a KD fan that defended the Warriors move, I can’t defend this. Quit in the playoffs against Boston and leave Brooklyn, I agree with Rob 100 percent. This is worse.
If you cosign this clown Rob then you're a joke at best. KD 34 why would he let the remaining years go to waist so he can look like Lebron. The Nets front office is trash and haven't obtained the right pieces. They signed Blake Griffin over Jeff Green. The needed a center and did nothing. Didn't go after PJ tucker before he went to the bucks and after. Just remember how Rob talks gets you smacked in the street.
KD never quit against Boston in the playoffs dude what's you smoking 😂😂 it was Kyrie that quit on them dude played the best playoffs game since in Cleveland KD has two or three people at him get your fact straight.

So glad to hear your voice again Rob! 😭🙏🏾
KD acting like this makes think higher Westbrook. I blamed all OKC's losses on Westbrook but there might have been a better reason he hogged the ball from KD and sort of worked against him.
Bruh I've ALWAYS thought higher of Westbrook. Y'all the fans need to stop following these narratives the media spew out. Everyone got so hyped by those championships that people forgot about this one intangible.....he went to a team that beat him the year before. Did NOBODY exept a few see how weak that was. What I'm saying is none of this is a surprise lol
been saying this for a minute. Westbrook wasn't the only one who didn't play well against Golden State in 2016
Bingo Sam Presti trusted Westbrook more than KD. That’s why they moved him to where he wanted to go. KD left a first class organization in OKC. They way he did OKC I never liked him after that. He didn’t have a owner that hated him like Lebron did.
@@mylessmith8059 game 5 it seemed like KD purposely was throwing the game. I believe he threw the series on purpose bcuz he already knew he was gonna leave.
This might be the most delusional take I've ever seen.
For Rob to be saying all of this he better start putting respect on Steph’s name
Thank you Rob. Been a Nets fan for 15 years, this weak move by KD has truly made my NBA “fever” go away. No point of watching a league where players can completely bull doze a franchise for fun. How can a fanbase support a team that can be ruined by 2 people.
Besides KD and kyrie who has done that??
@@isaacdebeila8085 Lebron been done that his whole career wdym it's only Kyrie and Kd lol
That’s y guys like Curry and Giannis and even Jokic and Doncic are players that people should look up too and rly root for because there staying with 1 team and being extremely successful with them.
@Judy Clarkson Cool story kid. LeBron won everywhere he went. Moving on.
@@wilcee238 but curry stay with 1 team and won 4 chips that more impressive to me but to each his own.
Imagine being called lame by Rob Parker
Kyrie wanted out first. He said he wanted to be traded if the Nets didn't offer him a 5 year max. His future with Brooklyn is very uncertain. That's the reason KD is requesting a trade.
KD’s weak
@@LordBranniganThe Yeah I have to agree. He's shown to be mentally weak over and over again. It's a shame. I still like him, but can't deny his faults.
@@LordBranniganThe Exactly! Weak as water!
@@auntiez4917 water isn’t weak lol
kyrie's future in Brooklyn aint uncertain lol. he not gonna be there
Kyrie Irving single handedly destroyed a championship level team. He had a whole drama with a vaccine almost the whole league took and his whole team took to play which ran James harden out of town. Kyrie then has the balls to demand a full max and just create more drama and kd is looking at that and looking at soft boy Simmons and just peace’s out I can’t blame him
Kyrie Irving also single-handedly destroyed Rob Parker’s narrative. No championship for the nets. Sucks to suck
Kyrie put the team together Kyrie can tear it down.
It's being reported by Woj that KD and Kyrie would like to play together.
Bryan Silva, imagine you show up to ur job 40% of the time and then ask for a raise when u come back
@@searching4pawgs495 kd is a fool if he drags Kyrie to a contender team considering they would have to give up a lot to get the both of them
Steve Kerr said working with KD is like walking on egg shells, you need to be careful on everything. Golden State winning the championship crushed him big time mahn with all the legacy talks.
Facts and the fact he got swept by Boston. He let that chip that GSW won get to his head. Bro needs to turn off the tv
did kerr say that in an interview? When? I'd love to read that bit of truth. KD's last year was stressful for the team because KD moped around all year with one foot out the door. Plus, his one year contracts always meant that the Bay was not his home for long and that's why he never got half the love that Curry gets
This generation will hurt the league in the future. Imagine if the players in 80s was like this , they would not benefit from them
half those dudes were on drugs, please stop
Roy Tarpley, Chris Washburn. 😂😂😂😂
This is where Rob is GOLD🤣🤣🤣. He is saying what everybody is thinking. Like Wtf.
It's on Irving. Rob's wrong here.
Durant fought through a career killing injury to play against the Bucks and if not for a big toe on a line, takes Brooklyn to the NBA Finals.
Simmons can't be trusted.
Durant needs to win now.
How do you let KD of the hook? If he was an actual leader all this wouldn’t have happened fr they got swept in the first round is that also kyries fault? Kyrie deserves most of the blame but KD is part of it too. Zero leadership man. Now all of a sudden he wants out with 4 years left on his contract. Crazy man
This isn’t 1988. Those are no longer career killing injuries.
i am confused why is he leaving. he is the reason kyrie was there. he chose to play with him. he chose for the team to be gutted to get harden. he chose for steve nash to be a coach.
@@Obiamajoyisrmd I hope to god you are not an actual M.D. and made that comment about "no career killing injuries".
Even if it is on Kyrie, KD folded quick af and it does seem cowardice. Although it seems they should win, but he isn't a sure shot like in 17 and 18. I think it's the pressure. Nothing else makes sense. You still got a good fuckn chance with Kyrie next year
When it was reported that the Nets were willing to let KD walk as well if he didn't agree with how they were handling Kyrie that was it.... Media was out here applauding the organization like let them both walk and take back control.... Now he walks and the same media is like he's so weak 😭...foh
Both statements can be true. The organization did well to take their team back and KD is extremely weak for leaving.
@@auntiez4917 Preach
Good move KD.
@@Gamingdoc KD helped create the mess that the Nets are in. So how is it a good move for him to create this situation and then dip?? KD will not win again. He will continue to be a journeyman due to his own bad decision-making. Rob is 100% correct.

Where's this rob Parker been all these years. Finally, some honest commentary.
He’s always been honest. He’s honest now in your opinion because you finally agree? You sound dumb
This my first time ever agreeing with rob Parker. Wow!
Big Kai out here ruining another team and KD being hella soft and sensitive like always 😭🤣. You can hear the disappointment in Rob voice 😫
Kd is in panic mode after the warriors won the championship. He’s now just desperate to win a ring. Would not be surprised if he went to phoenix or Miami as they were not the top seeds. What a shame
@@stkjuice yep..
Facts Kyrie is a cold mf….!
I agree with everything that Rob Parker said here!!
Supermax deals all over. get the bag.
As Durant was intent on leaving the Warriors, he got a call from Kawhi to team up with him at the Clippers (prior to Kawhi’s call to PG13). Durant should have accepted. Image a Kawhi and Durant duo! Instead, Durant made the colossal mistake of denying Kawhi and accepting to team up with Kyrie. The rest is history.
The media is not referencing this potential Kawhi / Durant combo that was denied by Durant.
Honestly they should have gone to the Knicks and somehow gotten Jimmy Butler there as well.
That would have been a great team.
All you can do is IMAGINE. Kawhi wouldve gotten injured or some other nonsense occur. You have to DEVELOP talent organically.
I remember he teamed up with a dude that had just as much hate for Lebron like him. He and Kyrie only United out of envy for Lebron. They both weak dudes
Maybe a hypothetical, uninjured Kawhi. Had he been healthy, he, Paul George and the Clippers would have given the Warriors a run for their money this year.
thank you!! he's a all time talent but he is not a winner or went thru what it takes for us to be call him a champion he's not! he won literally the easiest chips anybody ever seen and yall threw him a parade and he actually showed up for it😭 smh
Kd and kyrie are great players but not leaders. They both need to be lead to win
Pause 3:18. Thank you Rob for finally saying it. All these other so called experts are so busy. Trying to make up or put together their own KD trade packages. That they won't even touch the subject of KD leaving his 3rd team.
I just wanna say as much as people criticize LeBron for leaving teams but he at least finished his contract never forced his way out!
I'm shocked about KD trade demand, why sign the extension a year ago. The owners will have plenty to say about these dudes signing and then a year later requesting a trade. Steve Nash is glad he can actually coach, without the pressure of winning a title
2016 will forever haunt KD✔ you bounce with 3 teams cause his feelings got hurt😂🚫 i was huge Durant/OKC fan back then until the summer of 2016!! Westbrook was the alpha of OKC!! Durant was scared of him lmao!! Draymond is Golden State Alpha!! Basically he looked at Kyrie Irving as alpha lmao!! He hurt his feelings😂😂 so KD ran🙌 KD is step below Lebron and Steph.. He cemented that for sure this time
They acting like KD got 5 years left in his prime. My man has a 2 year window if he gets on a legit championship contender. That Nets organization is piss poor. When Harden left that was it. KD knows the ceiling is medocrity with just him and Kyrie. He gave it a shot, and he knows everyone on the Nets had an element of b.s. that limited them.
Better to go out with honour than to be remembered as a snake.
@@jordandavis3867 no one cares about honor except haters. It's a buzz word they conveniently use to slate players they don't like. If KD stays in Brooklyn Nets purgatory for the remainder of his career and fails to make it past the first round, you'll probably laugh at him and say he should've left when he had the chance.
@@DReppin2009 That only proves a point that he needs so much just to get past the first round dude. Like it only confirms his weakness more than anything else.
@@judyclarkson5887 basketball is a team sport. How much did he need last year? A healthy team? He's had two bad seasons in Brooklyn. Lost his second and third best players last year, lost his second and third best players this year, on top of coming off a career ending injury. Context matters, but let's over simplify things. 🙄
There has been zero continuity with the Nets. No one is winning with the way things have gone. Put Klay and Dray in the same scenarios and tell me if the Warriors are going to do anything with Steph being the only constant. You can apply that logic to most teams and the results are the same.
@@DReppin2009 You tryna create all these hypotheticals when what you should be doing is dealing with the facts. Leave Steph outta this convo... He in a whole different stratosphere compared to KD aligned with the greatest of the greatest. KD gotta focussing ont rying to salvage whatever little of his reputation is left.
I always liked Kevin Durant, but I really hated that he left the OKC Thunder. I always prefer the player who can win a championship while remaining loyal to their team, like Dirk Nowitzki. Still, I understand the mentality of “winning at all costs,” but I guess I’m a little too old school. Nowadays, I think calling him a flake would be accurate.
Dirk one ring is worth more than LeBron and Kds rings even 2 of Steph's rings.
Dirk beat Wade Bosh LeBron Kobe Kevin Durant Westbrook and Harden in that run . That's 7 hof and they swept Kobe.
I wouldn’t call this a “weak move” . This was calculated 100% . It’s clear to me KD was expecting Ky to opt out, the Nets use that cap space for a star/role players & stayed with the Nets . It seems to me Ky figured that out & to be petty, opted in . KD wanted no parts & now wants a trade . This narrative looks terrible cause this is similar to Shaq & Kobe
THATS 🧢
KD BAILED COZ HE REALIZED HE ISNT GOOD ENOUGH TO CARRY A TEAM TO A CHIP
You’re giving kd too much credit. He might just be a weak guy who leaves when things get hard
Kyrie only opted in because no other team could give him 31 million. He was tryna do a sign and trade. He could have only got 6 mil about from other teams.
Also, this makes no sense because KD and Kyrie still wanna play together according to Woj.
Except if he opted out they still wouldn’t have free money…
Kyrie talks big, but he lost a shoe deal didn't he? And the Nets were not going to give him a long-term max contract. It was either 30+ or 6. He was taking the 30+. He's not built like that, no matter how much he talks. Few of us are. I'm certainly not.
KD saw the warriors win the chip and was like... Yeahhh lemme go get stacked lol
*Bad look for KD imo. Even after the Nets gave KD all the power he could ever want, he's still trying to leave after getting swept.*
I’ve not listened to it yet but let me guess, Rob blamed lebron james for kd requesting for a trade.
No he actually held kd accountable !
now that's funny bro..respect
😂😂👏🏼
Lmao I did the same exact thing, I was expecting him to meat ride KD once again
For people to act like KD is a victim of Kyrie? Lol, you serious? They are boys. Peas in a pod. Miserable people and teammates. They wanted to run the Nets like they were above the coaches and management. And predictably they failed. KD can't win on his own. Can't build a winning culture. Soft. Egomaniacs who think their shhh don't stink. They deserve each other. It was nice to have two of the most unlikeable (elite talents, no denying that) on the same team. Made it so easy to root against and enjoy the schaudenfreude.
Lebron has played out all of his contracts, and Still YET… People hold “The Decision” against him when he went to the Heat. But KD went to the team that beat him to win a title and is now forcing his way out of Brooklyn. Now he’s getting a “little” criticism. Lebron could NEVER!
KD already lost everyone's respect when he joined a 73-9 team.
Keep in mind the two teams he requested to go to were the top seed in each respective conference. He has no dawg in him, dude just wants to coast to chips instead of earning them

Problem is he’s saying he still wants to play with Kyrie but not in Brooklyn 🤔.
There is enough blame for everyone including management.
Many reason why, the nets had young players that were on right direction and had a bright future and gave all that up to get him kyrie, DeAndre Jordan and harden when he had a good enough built for him there and could have play along with D'angelo Russell but instead wanted Kyrie leaving the nets to not give D'angelo Russell a max contract. On top of that he wants to go to play with kyrie but not in Brooklyn. There so much more reason to it but he not the only one to blame in this situation
