How great would it be if he DOES call their bluff. Does the petulant child KD toss a 2nd season in his 30s out the window?

Tsai doesn't have to do shit. Durant has no leverage, none.

(Having said that, a team can do a hell of a lot better than Marks and Nash.)

"You can spend the end of your career on vacation, or you can play for the Nets. Your choice, Kev."

I am all about player empowerment, and always about labor over management, but this is a failure by one party to perform their part of a contract. I'd keep Durant, and if he doesn't play, sue him for non-performance. Put his salary in escrow until the suit resolves. A contract has to mean something.

Great painting - do you save these for the really great occasions? A year ago I was right with you on vaccination. But now, I just don’t see it. There’s no evidence that getting vaxxed keeps others from getting Covid. Kyrie is lots of things, and is maddening in many ways, but I can’t say that his vax decision has any impact on the rest of us.

You had me lol when you called shams diplomatic. You meant agent/player mouthpiece.

I think you have everything right here. Fascinating to watch.
