Certainly not feeling sorry for owners, rather of the 20, how many of you would say the player had even a snowballs chance of leading the team to a legit Championship?

How many would you say utter waste of money by ownership/GM?

NBA players are paid even better than baseball players. Only historically great soccer players like Messi and Ronaldo are paid better. 65 millions for Ronaldo and 92 millions for Messi.

Wonder if the Nets could, or even would try to recoup some $ from this pussy. Him and Durant, what a pair to draw to. Would be interesting to see what Danny Ferry thinks now that he is out of the Nyets.

Sources -- Kyrie Irving not expected to rejoin Brooklyn Nets this week; NBA expected to review maskless videos (espn.com) (https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30698732/kyrie-irving-not-expected-rejoin-brooklyn-nets-week-nba-reviewing-maskless-videos)

Irving was already ruled out of his fourth straight game Tuesday night against Denver, and sources say that, at a minimum, he is expected to miss Wednesday's game against New York and Saturday's against Orlando. His absence has been attributed to personal reasons.
In the videos -- which began being widely shared Monday night -- a smiling Irving is dancing with his sister Asia on a confetti-covered floor and clapping as she blows out candles. If the video is found to be recent, that behavior could be a breach of the league's coronavirus protocols.
The league's COVID-19 guidelines forbid players from going to clubs, bars and lounges. They also ban attending social gatherings of more than 15 people.

Harden-Durant-Irving is the highest-paid trio in NBA history

Combined salaries of $114.8 million this year. That puts Harden-Durant-Irving almost $7 million ahead of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins, which was the No. 1 all-time before the Harden four-way blockbuster trade.

List of the top 13 paid trios including ex Spurs. You may be interested to know that Nephews trio is surpassed by another Spur. Surprising one.

When guys like Tobias Harris, Mike Conley and Gordon Hayward earn more than 30 millions per year in NBA you understand that basketball is arguably the best career choice in sports world
