Wouldn't be shocking. He's shown for a while now that it's not his biggest priority. And there are not going to be very many teams now that would put up with his crap. The less elite he gets, the fewer suitors

Shid he accomplished everything 🤷🏾♂️ him retiring wouldn’t be a bad idea especially with the requirements they want for him to play on the nets either that or go to a different team

I don’t like Kyrie but we say this everytime he has a scandal, he’ll be back in a Brooklyn uniform probably sooner then we all think lol

He’ll be back maybe it’ll take longer than 5 games but he will be back
