I think you are missing the point that was being made. The fact that Kyrie is the player here does diminish his market severely……which makes this move even BETTER because it is him as he’d essentially have no market come summer if he remained a Net through this year. The point we are making is that he has a chance to secure a deal with say, the Lakers, if he goes there and they make a deep run…..and LeBron pushes for him so he isn’t playing with a Schroder/Beverly-like backcourt again next year.Yes, but the very fact it is Kyrie changes everything. Kyrie’s market is different than any other star because he’s seen as a selfish dickhead with zero ability to focus on winning and an endless capacity to cause distractions that disrupt team chemistry. That notion severely limits his market. This demand reinforces that perception and -in do doing- hurt’s Kyrie’s chances of getting a big contract this off-season.
