Stephen A.: KD & Kyrie gave WEAK points about their trade requests being a good thing 😯 | First Take 

Sign me up

John wall the pioneer too😂

Bro…you don’t know me…but I can teach that class too!!!….paid family care, short term disability…I got you bro…LMAOOOO

Will kyrie even show up to teach his class though

Future New York Times best seller 😂

That shyt was corny. Stephen a got Kyrie dik in his mouth

@@JoemammyyyHe just mad because he can’t get a day off.

@@ifyoudontworkyoudonteat7644 I don’t think he want one. Bro loves to work at every opportunity

No that was a great line fr 😂😂

I stopped being a kyrie fan after he showed me he doesn’t care about his fans

The clown is an east target.

Man can’t wait to bash kyrie

i mean what’s the issue

Mhm proving Jay’s point

But he’s not holding LD to that same standard…

Just KD

​@@4ktkaram395 kyrie was a sideshow for them and he never cared about their business.

It’s never too early to wake and hate huh

​@@4ktkaram395 Kyrie quit on THREE TEAMS now, same as KD. Recruit he didn't even quit on the Warriors at all.

@@clustajr 😹😹😹

the west was winning easily for years so they had to

Who literally cares

There’s always that one person

The players didn’t gaf then and they still don’t gaf now

Listen, if we look hard enough, we will find people who are missing the times when we were rubbing grass to light fire.

Lmao

Too much spotlight on Kai

facts

He himself stated issues with Kyrie were "Personal". None of us should expect Stephen A. to speak highly of Kyrie at all. His hatred of Kyrie has exceeded his hatred of losing his own mother

Stephen a is right tho

Smith is right

Kyrie has Ben worthless sense asking for a trade away from Cleveland 🤷‍♂️😂😂😂 he l show up every now and then .... then pull some bs right after that that’s kyrie in a nutshell I love the dude talent must see tv but all that other diva sh**** idc for !!! Look at the so called goat lebron he Beyoncé'

@@gonchanliwether he’s right or not, it’s a little bit weird the hard on he has for Kyrie every time his name is brought up, you would think that Kyrie did something to Stephen A. personally, it’s strange

Thank u

Nah

Nope

Kyrie requested a trade due to not meeting a negotiation with the Nets. Then KD requested a trade due to a lack of a costar and TERRIBLE upper management. But each day the media claimed it was all "Drama". Now Nick Fierdell has joined the Suns organization to repeat the process. SMH!

Negative

Don't think so

left them in 4th in the east

They always in the press sooop

No such thing as bad publicity. Stephen A knows that firsthand with all the dumb stuff he says

@@tjleaf3510 bad publicity definitely exists. Kyrie being attached to Antisemitism is in no way good publicity

@@BoskoShabazz kyrie still getting max Money & is a All star starter, y’all think it’s hurting him lol

@@Fibanacci9it hurt the league tho, which is his employers

@@Fibanacci9 But can't get a max contract longer than a year so far.

But Brooklyn wasn't in a bad way. Kyrie bailed because of the front office. KD could've stayed if phoenix didn't want to trade with them.

@@ChikisaMal28 they just started building a culture for real this season went on a winning streak as a nets fan I didn’t expect to see a trade coming being they were winning and playing well at that time 10 games above .500 number 3 in the East it was a blind side move no doubt

@@richardmatthews2807 they did but when KD got hurt it went down in flames

GS? No. But let’s not act like KD didn’t insert himself into another excellent situation THAT HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ESTABLISHING. The guy is simply a bandwagon man. That’s just who he is.

Uuuhhh....yeah...it's a business!

Yet, you keep watching.

I wish they talk about my pacers more.

Why? You act like players don't hold vendettas against the talking heads.

@@bobhanson1037the players have a reason . Why does a journalist have personal vendetta against a player. Why does skip bayless b on bron dik? Why Stephen a got Kyrie in his mouth

@@cv1368 completely agree

Why is this idiot SAS still talking about Kyrie. He admitted having a personal vendetta against Kyrie crying over Kyrie money. Kyrie smash his girl.

Nah. I don’t agree. Players want to get paid, talk sht, at times underperform, and then be accountable to anyone.

Rent free 😂

Kawhi is

But tweets equal engagement in NBA topics. Engagement is so important in a business

@Kay G engagement is important, and that's cool. it's not paying the bills when talking about Sports specifically

They definitely do 😂😂

Facts

Disagree

I don't watch trade deadlines for entertainment. I watch basketball. Those trades won't necessarily make great basketball.

Wakes up looking for that smoke😭

SAS scared of Durant's mom 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

how

@@princecheck11 he don’t like kyrie it’s personal. It wants the whole world to know and agree with him 🤣

@@kingmarcusrich Noo thats just wat u think , you act like just bc someone criticize someone else that mean they dislike the person, he just dislike kyrie actions

@@princecheck11 he said it out his mouth it’s personal. But aye free country think what u want.

Nothing's good for the league. It's either good for the owners or the top players. There are a select few players where these things benefit them (like 10% of them) and the rest of the players are at the mercy of the owners. Look at Patrick Beverley or Mikal Bridges as opposed to Kyrie and KD.

@@smoothsavage2870 bad to include mikal bridges who wouldn’t trade him for KD although the suns didn’t want to but that was the only way the deal would’ve got done but Pat bev oh that’s spot on lol

@@richardmatthews2807 Mikal found out he was traded on social media from a team that he had loyalty to. I wouldn't say that benefit him at all. He understood why, but that doesn't change the fact that he was traded without his knowledge and had no time to prepare for it.

how is this related? did max request a trade?

Max' contract with FirstTake was up and Stephen A just didn't want Max back. Not sure that is a good example, young man.

Bad trades honor your contract

The referees are beyond awful. Some of the calls they make (or don't make) are straight up corrupted.

business. they don't owe teams.teams make business decisions too

And it's not like the Nets were still bad. They were on a hot streak (before the KD injury). When healthy, they were a threat. Celtics and Bucks had slightly better odds than them, but the Nets were still in it... and they both opted out.

It’s the era of instant gratification. All of us are affected by it

What old days? People been demanding trades for years even Kareem demanded a trade

@@rconway1641 Kareem demanded a trade in the 80s come on 😂 I’m talking about the days before the super team era was created in 2010 all the way up to this day.

These players learned, its all about BUSINESS! Not licking bosses ba--s, like SAS does at every opportunity.

@@indigenouswarrior_1878 not understanding what your saying. I understand it's a business but I missed your point

Exactly

He is scared of KD and SAS doesn't want to lose the source in the KD camp like he did with LeBron in the 2010s

SAS stop it we all know you hate Kyrie and you look so stupid keep taking about Kyrie you mad because you not the man he is you not you own man stop it SAS you say it on tv you got a thank with Kyrie

😂😂😂

💀

1000%

The media is retired players who don't want to lose their connections with the top stars in order to remain relevant

Nothing to question

It's funny how you're still living in your mom's basement in sweats and spending all day commenting on espn videos

@@DXAdamJensen you weird for thinking you know where he live

Never had one so nothing to say

I mean they didn't. The owner wanted him to complete some mess before he could play. Also, his garbage stipulations in contract talks is why Kyrie left. Learn to own a team and you can keep superstars.

Joe Tsai destroyed the Nets with his slave mentality

@@rjwill1992 THANK YOU! Casey Douglas needs to "sigh" on that.

No way people are actually on Kyrie’s side🤦‍♂️ He single handedly ruined the most talented big 3 of all time and always finds a way to not play. I agree that they were doing too much with the anti semantic situation but you can’t blame them for having a grudge against Kyrie

@@rjwill1992 he caused that on his self bro. I’m a reasonable and fair human being he’s been unreliable in a variety of different ways. A person who has already invested heavily into and hasn’t seen much it’s hard to actually want to give a player the contract he wants and you have no confidence he’ll ever be productive for you. If you were working at your job and you weren’t performing you would be laid off fam.this is real life. You saying he isn’t the problem is why he believes he isn’t the problem lol

And they didnt have to trade him. Yet, they penalize kyrie wanting to go to LA

When did Kyrie do his job?

He left them I'm 4th place

They mentioned that

That's another video. Search it

Bro no 🧢 Kyrie is the most depressing millionaire, I would rather be myself with less money & drama then to walk a day in his emotions.

@@goated3285most depressing 😂 Niggas there rapper out here faking it to make it and you calling kyrie life depressing terrible choice of word my dude

They were under .500 after kd left.

Kd carried them to a 2nd seed lmao he was doing everything for them

@@Hi-rp9jq They didn’t go on the 18-2 run until kyrie came back from suspension what you mean, KD was shitten on his teammates befor that to

@@Fibanacci9 if you took it in that way be my guess. But the nets had a couple win streaks before kyrie came back

@@ChikisaMal28 nah they were 5-3 in the 8 games kyrie was out, they were 21-3 with kyrie when he came back including 12 game win streak. Why you think kyrie a All Star Starter?

James harden loves him so much right

Lmaoooo ask Harden how he feels

Yes Harden loves him why u think he said watt he said when he responded to them getting traded…

Perfect take

@@richardmatthews2807 harden never once said he felt a certain way about Kyrie. You assume his statements were about Kyrie cause the media is good at brainwashing dumb people like you into thinking everything is about Kyrie

You clearly didn’t follow the nets

@@colinedelman6392 u clearly did what did I say that was false

@@irregular6593 Nothing dude just a hater and was brainwashed by media purposely talking bad everyday! they prey on feeble minds like @Colin Edelman

​@@irregular6593 stop the revisionist history. bro literally has a TREND of no shows. the bday party and capitol riots? he tried to stop the bubble too. everything is everyones fault except kyrie right bozo?

Great takes by both windhorst and stephen a. The league has sent a message to the fans that regular season doesnt matter anymore. Contracts are so big and there is so much guaranteed money that players don't have to show the level of commitment they used to. And the quality of the product suffers

Lmao horrible take because it’s personal no objectivity at all

can kyrie be in control of another ring? yall reward scrubs too much

L take

NFL play is about 6 seconds long.. then u wait 40 seconds for another 6 seconds worth of "game"... so much better🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

They'll never bring that up

Thank you, sick of this he just took time off. And they hide the front office bs that they do.

He won 4 of 16 without KD 😂

@@matthewwilliams4168 facts😆

@@matthewwilliams4168 better than none but it wouldn’t fit the narrative huh

@@mikejones1765 ye a man earning 36m a year couldn’t drag his team to win games! Imagine if that was bron curry or giannis

@@matthewwilliams4168curry missed the playoffs without klay thompson. Lebron has missed the playoffs 2 of the last 4 years and on his way to missing it again

I agree.

Bruh no matter how big a star you are, the way he spread anti semitic info and didn’t get the vaccine was not only embarassing it was shameful. Kyrie wasn’t even that good on the nets he barely played for them and left when he started losing too many in a row. KD left bc kyrie left. If Lebron did any of this and left the lakers when they were losing they’d be crucified. Kyrie ruins every team he’s on and KD shops around for rings.

@@Christine-ne4yf the kyrie fanboys wont admit this tho.

@@Christine-ne4yf kyrie shouldn’t have been at fault for not taking the vaccine that was stupid. Second the “anti semiotic” situation was the nets and nba clearly attacking kyrie. They made him take all of these precautions and literally emasculating him but all the owner of the suns (that was literally SA’n people) had to do was give a bs apologize and had to sell the team only after the nba got some blowback from the sponsors. Kyrie has definitely did some stuff that people may not agree with but don’t act like the nets wasn’t wrong.

@@walk_er shouldn't have been at fault yet it still was his decision and he was the only one on the team who declined. You can talk about heart and team all you want but check his actions and they don't match his words. How many NBA players missed games because they decided to attend a birthday party instead? Or how many missed games after Jan 6th capitol attacks? For the anti Semitic film, I don't know how you defend that one or blame the Nets here. They literally have protesters outside the building but they were just supposed to ignore it and let him return to work? Did you notice how they gave him time to respond and didn't suspend him until he held an all-time terrible press conference? The ADL literally returned his donation afterwards as his responses were so terrible. Ky's mad that he doesn't have a max contract extension but who turned it down before last season started? Remember how KD signed his max contract and the Nets had offers out to both Harden and Ky who choose not to sign? And it's nothing new. Ky has been a poor teammate every step of his career. Remember when he said he had so much to learn from Lebron yet two weeks later demanded the Cavs trade him or else he'll have in season knee surgery? Or when he promised the Celtics crowd at midcourt how they'd be together forever and then he ditched them the very next off season? So I'm not sure how you're placing the blame on the Nets. Seems like the biggest mistake they made was giving Kyrie everything he wanted before this year.

Good point.

Not trade requests the media strictly said players joining forces to win is good attention but to quit and want out isn’t good for business

KD supposed to a leader not a social media cheerleader.

@@versewonderstrikes5353 and u supposed to be at work trying to take over but u here instead 😂

That's the point sadly lol

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Bro everybod got vaccinated except him,,, Kyrie was paid for millions of dollars. He should have atleast showed up. Missing almost 50% of his games in his 4 years in brooklyn, Bro thats crazy. what's crazier is that he was fully paid.

@@saitamasensei2927 Thats not what the NY Supreme court been saying Last few months! this why he media keep tryna bash him because they called him a idiot for a whole season and he was right about the Vax! I guess you didnt know alll the workers that were unconstitutionally fired from work all got they jobs back plus back pay in NY! Do yall actually take the time to do research instead of just saying anything! Kyrie wasnt fully paid they took half his salary and he got fined multiple games! so now I have to ask why do you dislike Kyrie for you to be here lying blatantly! HE DONT EVEN KNOW YOU EXIST!🤣

@@saitamasensei2927 Everybody Huh? With your lying a$$
