[WOJ BOMB] Nets having second thoughts on signin Kyrie without a star coming with him

[Mask the Embiid]

In an appearance on ESPN Wednesday morning, Adrian Wojnarowski suggested that the Nets might be hesitant to commit to Kyrie Irving if they can’t pair him with a second star ... and instead turn to D’Angelo Russell for their point guard needs.

“What Brooklyn would like to have is not just Kyrie Irving, but a second star come in with him,” said Woj. “And obviously, Kevin Durant is that player.”

At that point, Woj threw a bomb into Nets free agency discussions.

“If they don’t get a second star, it will be interesting to see if Brooklyn wants to have Kyrie Irving as a solo act. That didn’t go so great in Boston last year. So we’ll see if Brooklyn is still following through on just Kyrie Irving because if they don’t take Kyrie Irving, they can just bring back D’Angelo Russell at a lower number. Younger player.

“But their focus with the Nets is get two stars. Kyrie Irving ... to try to get Kyrie Irving to recruit KD for him to come together.”


What you talkin’ about, Woj?!?

Is Woj speculating? Doubtful. When a couple of years ago, we asked a Nets insider about a Woj story that seemed to be speculative. The insider smiled and replied, “Woj is not speculating. Woj is working.”

What could it mean? Take your pick of theories. The Nets want Irving to push harder on Tickling in bed with KD? Things have a hit a **** snag? There’s disagreement among Nets decision-makers on which way to go?

Time, you know, will tell.

Makes sense if you are the Nets imo.

Kyrie should just go to the Knicks.

Unless they give him :

Five-year, $158 million max

[Kingwillball]

This would make Lakers legit threat..

[wang4three]

This makes sense to me - why kill our amazing chemistry last year for Kyrie? Granted I'll be super happy if he joined us -but D'Angelo continues to make leaps each season and I just don't want to just easily give that up unless we turn into a top 3 team in the East over night.

kyrie alone simply doesn't move the needle


as we've seen both on his Cavaliers departure and his Celtics arrival


both teams were identical and/or better off without him

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Damn.

All that noise about Kyrie is catching up with him.

Looking more like LA will be the destination. And its probably not his preferred location.

Irving slowly starting to come off as Marbury 2.0


This guys individual impact is borderline John Wall at this point

You mispelled "Lakers".

Kyrie is a cancer it was under my nose the entire time.

I don't mind keeping D'lo if we can't land another superstar next to Kyrie (Kawhi or Butler) i'm not to keen on KD anymore after his injury

Kawhi would never leave Toronto for Brooklyn.
