      Miscommunication was the problem that never got solved. Both sides expected more than the other was willing to give.
      Both sides thought they were being reasonable and the other side either went too far, or was not going far enough.
      Ultimately, peaceful co-existence was solved at the expense of all parties going their separate ways. 🏀

    Man, I miss that squad with D'lo, Dinwiddie, Harris, LeVert, Allen, RHJ, Davis and Dudley.
    I remember when they signed Kyrie and traded away D'lo, I was disappointed because I wanted to see how that previous core would work out instead of going all in Kyrie and KD. They were so much fun.
    The Nets went from an upcoming young fun team to a team that was controlled by player politics and egos. KD and Kyrie singled out players and the coach that originally made the Nets a playoff team to begin with and wanted what they desired. Even when they got what they wanted, it was never enough.
    As great talents as they were, they set the Nets franchise back for years. Have to blame the front office too because they let this happen and could've easily denied the idea of letting the players control the team

      NY was the problem, not the team or the players. KD and Kyrie were more than enough. Due to covid in the liberal state of NY prevented KY from playing resulting in no chemistry between all of them. That's the thing simple minded people don't understand. Having a line up of great players means nothing if you don't have chemistry. The 92 dream team losing to a college team proved that. 🙄

    Also, in general, I think the Nets also encapsulate why working with your friends is often a really poor idea. It takes an incredible level of professionalism to balance a high pressure work environment with personal friendships.
    That's made all the worst by the fact that Kyrie is one of the least professional players in the NBA. His podcast remarks solidify that. Basically, what it boils down to is that Kyrie and KD didn't like Kenny because Kenny actually held them accountable and held them to a standard. Heaven forbid that you're held to a standard at work! Another example of how entitled, privileged and oblivious those two are.

      He had no other choice his extension was contingent on him winning a championship. I have never heard of any team asking such a thing. If he would have waited until the off-season there would have not been any good teams with enough cap space to sign him. So he had to roll the dice.

    While I (a Nets fan) agree that it's ultimately the fault of a lot of people, I really struggle to place primary blame on anyone but Kyrie. You can't build a championship roster around a second option with the ego of a superstar and the reliability of a benchwarmer. Also, I haven't given up on Simmons yet. He had the same back surgery as MPJ and he said that he didn't feel like his old self until 18 months after. I think some of his struggles look more like a guy who isn't healthy rather than a guy who for has inexplicably changed into a new player. He was rushed back to make the new "Big 3" happen and a lot of people forget that Ben had a stretch of nice games before he got hurt again.
