As it turned out, the redemptive arc that Tsai had imagined for his star had devolved into what the owner had felt was a repetitive exercise in Irving’s betrayal of good faith, sources said. For nearly a week, Tsai kept extending the clock to give Kyrie Irving a chance to get this right for himself, the franchise and the Jewish community — and Irving never returned a single of his text messages, sources said. Almost a week later, Irving had shown no inclination to deliver an apology, nor a disassociation of the movie’s contents ... Читать дальше...

Talkin’ NBA: Woj: “Ben Simmons has been a source of frustration for Kevin Durant for others on the Nets so far, because he has been unable to stay on the floor but prior to that, he has shown that he’s a long way away from being back to an impactful player.”

Talkin’ NBA: Woj: “The concern in Brooklyn is: How long does Kevin Durant hang in there… You can imagine a scenario where KD perhaps revisits his [trade] request from the summer at some point, although I don’t believe that’s a consideration right now for him.”

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to The Athletic on Friday that it has launched an investigation into Josh Primo after getting in contact with Cauthen. Cauthen was hired under contract by the Spurs in September 2021. According to the suit, Primo exposed himself nine times in front of Cauthen, beginning in December 2021. “I’m a clinical sports psychologist; I’m a mother of four wonderful daughters. I’m a woman, and I am a victim,” Cauthen said Thursday.

Irving was given multiple chances to apologize for the action, but he didn’t do so until after the suspension.  “This is amid, I think both Nets’ management and the league office pushing Joe Tsai to be more punitive,” said Adrian Wojnarowski. “A suspension, a punishment. As the days wore on and Kyrie Irving had a chance on Saturday night and then again yesterday publicly with the media to disavow and condemn the contents of that movie, to say that he was not antisemitic. Those two public appearances... Читать дальше...

Brian Lewis: Kevin Durant: “I’m not here to judge somebody or talk down on the life or how they feel their views. I just didn’t like anything that went on. I felt like it was all unnecessary. I felt like we could have just kept playing basketball and kept quiet as an organization.” #nets

Almost $182 million in NBA salaries this season are going to players getting compensated by teams that waived them weeks, months or (sometimes) many years ago. That is the beauty of guaranteed contracts in the league.

Kyrie Irving: While doing research on YHWH, I posted a Documentary that contained some false anti-Semitic statements, narratives, and language that were untrue and offensive to the Jewish Race/Religion, and I take full accountability and responsibly for my actions. I am grateful to have a big platform to share knowledge and I want to move forward by having an open dialogue to learn more and grow from this.

Jake Fischer on Ben Simmons: I don’t think he’s got any real trade value. I was talking to the team who has designs to rebuild Monday night when I was at Barclays Center. And like I asked that question, and I was told pretty point blank like that they would have been interested in him before the season started and 7-8 games later now that interest has dissipated.

It sparked rumors: Would the Warriors trade Green? (The Warriors have not engaged in any trade talks centered on Green, and don’t plan to as of now, sources said.) It reignited old debates: Was Green ever really a star in his own right, or was he the beneficiary of playing alongside the two greatest shooters ever — two all-time greats whose penchant for expert off-ball movement enabled Green to thrive as point-forward?

The Serbian superstar, back-to-back season MVP, now ranks sixth in the all-time list of players with the most triple-doubles, leaving Wilt Chamberlain in the seventh spot. He was also presented with the game ball signed by his teammates. “It’s nice. It’s not just my success. I cannot do it without my teammates. I just wanted to remember one day, when I find that ball in a closet, just to see... Читать дальше...
