Well, I hope Joseph Tsai and Sean Marks are proud of themselves for sticking to their guns when it came to negotiating a contract extension with superstar guard Kyrie Irving, for what they’re about to do to this franchise is unforgivable.
blaming Sean Marks for this is ridiculous. The lesson here is you can't put together a collection of extremely talented players all with their own agendas and win. I'm sure if you signed a NDA with Marks he'd tell he regrets that he ever broke up the nucleus of the team he built to go star chasing.
also if Kyrie gets vaccinated and plays this is a different outcome.
We agree Kyrie sabotaged the team by not getting vaccinated, but let’s not kid ourselves about this past season’s team. The supporting cast was flawed when the 2 stars bombed in the playoffs. Nash was overmatched. And as for that likable 2018-19 team, no way that group would have ever made a deep run. No regrets signing the league’s best player—it should have worked.
Nash was hand-picked to coach this team by Durant. The supporting cast was destroyed when they brought in James Harden as requested by Durant and Irving. While Marks did not play everything correctly, a lot of these issues go right back to Irving and Durant.
I’m sorry but I’ve heard differently—Marks & Nash have been tight for years & Marks knew the choice would get KD’s approval. However, others more qualified would have been acceptable to KD as well. Harden was brought in as Kyrie insurance—the trade heated up when Irving took those personal days. Turned out to be a lousy policy.
