This colossal dipshit actually considered demanding a trade right after winning a championship. Good fucking luck to whichever moronic team decides to trade for him and play in to all his ridiculous delusions.

but this is why lebron can't win (unless he makes EVERY SHOT and makes every defensive play). the goalposts never stop moving. if he doesn't take that shot: "NO KILLER INSTINCT! JORDAN WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT OVER ALL 5 DEFENDERS!"

Also for whatever reason he doesn't get the calls he use to get. I know he hasn't been a great ft shooter, but he doesn't get calls when he's clearly hacked and it effects how he plays.

Before hitting the game winner against the Bulls he was hacked going to the rim.Luckily the ball bounced off the Bulls.
Game 1 of the finals he took the shot late in 2015. In Game 2 he drove to the rim and was hacked and got no call so we were forced to go to OT.

Even in game 7 in 2016 he didn't get a call when Iggy hacked his wrist. Unless he's getting drilled like he was by Draymond later on the refs are swallowing the whistle.
 
So those inquiries multiple teams have made about his character...
 
Dudes perception took a major hit. He could not have played this more poorly but all this is coming out hurts our potential return as the chance for any form of conciliation looks slimmer by the day.

The Pacers series might as well have been a year ago with how long the offseason has been after the finals collapse with the failed PG/JB traded, Dan/Griffin and LeBron/Kyrie drama but based on box score here is what I gathered:

Kyrie stats vs Pacers:

Game 1: 11/27 23 pts, 6 assists, 3 reb
Game 2: 14/24 37 pts, 2 assists, 2 reb
Game 3: 4/17 13 pts, 4 assists, 2 reb
Game 4: 10/25 38 pts, 0 assists, 2 reb

Shot poorly in game 1 and found his shot for a game in game 2, exploding for 37 points.

Game 3: comeback game where we erased a 24+ point defecit. This happened with Kyrie getting benched (-15 +/-). Game 4 is noteworthy because he managed ZERO assists in 36 minutes. I can see why some of his teammates would be upset. I remember pointing out Episode 27 of the Road Trippin podcast where Allie, RJ, Frye brought up how we're nearly unbeatable when Kyrie puts up better assist number. It struck nerve with Kyrie. This interview happened AFTER the Pacers series in Toronto while up 2-0 in the series. The "beef" happening after the Pacers series and Kyrie putting up 10 and 11 assists in both games 1 and 2 against the Raptors might be a coincidence but it does point out an area of concern that may have have pointed out to him by LeBron or Lue because Frye mentioned how Kyrie has been "keeping his head up." This is pure male driven soap opera at this point lol.

That is typical stat padding and not caring at the same time. I think his defense was the tipping point and Bron grilled him knowing if KI can not defend the Cavs will never beat the Warriors. I admit he might be on to something, as KI was much more lazy than he was even last year in the Finals. He got his now he wants to be paid and basically try to take over the NBA and it will never happen. He is young but until he can play defense he will never be great in the game.
 
That kyrie not talking to teammates in the playoffs is nonsense. Not sure why people are buying into it just because hes on his way out. Completely ludicrous statement.
 
I'm sorry but this is James jones

This guy wouldn't lie
 
James Jones never said that though. If you actually look into it the quote never came from him.

Even if it was true i really doubt Jones would throw that out there he's more professional than that.

I don't know. Its a good way for the new VPBO of a team said to be in the running for Kyrie to drive his market value down. Teams won't want to pay top dollar for someone that immature. Letting JJ swoop in and try and steal for Pennies on the dollar.

Well yeah thats true i jus don't think he'd be burning bridges that fast. I'm sure him and Kyrie were actually friends and champ isnt the kind of guy to lie about someone like that.



Either way the quote actually never came from him

Maybe Griff wanted to, Dan G didn't want to take that risk (i.e. George and LBJ both bailing after the season)

Would make sense with the "different vision for the future of the team" line they used at the time of his firing

Then why would Dan say in his only press conference since, that the Pacers had a better deal. If Dan wasn't willing to budge on Kyrie, I doubt he says that.
 
Kyrie sure isn't helping himself any. Sounds like he's more of a turd than any of us realized.

I don't think this situation is going to be resolved anytime soon. The reality is we are probably gonna have to hang on to Kyrie until 12/15, when more players will be eligible for trades, and with the hope that offers might improve by then.

I thought Dan was referring to dealing Love in the George deal. Could be mistaken tho.
