      Don't be so impatient. These type of statements impact people's decisions from rational to emotional to not disappoint nobody.
      The East erroneously is called weak and people ignore teams like Boston, Toronto or even Philly. The Nets can hardly defeat these teams without bringing their highest effort. Highest effort after a tough injury... not smart at all.
      KD should get more time to get into shape through playing a Kawhi kind of regular season with some load management. I don't like to see that, but in case of KD it should be the best option. Not playing Kyrie or KD would also allow them to start their offseason earlier and prepare for the next season while others are fatigue playing until August. One of Kobe's recommendations how to achieve goals was to think longterm. Got it?

Everybody was claiming if Kyrie played in 2018 the Celtics would have been in the Finals. The reality slapped them in the face and the next season they played a lot worse with Kyrie. The Brooklyn Nets were doing pretty good without Kyrie. Then Kyrie came back and they played worse. Kyrie has emotional problems then you add "rabbit ears" Kevin Durant who argues with 12 years olds on twitter. KD left OKC because Westbrook was too ball dominate. What do you think Kyrie is?

This season he just exposed his young team by saying they can’t seriously compete.. that’s a good leader bruh?
      If you’re a true Kyrie fan I will never change your opinion. But Kyrie had it made in Cleveland w/ Lebron; the Celtics with a hot young squad; and blew both of those opportunities in front of the whole “flat” world.

    It’s up to KD. If he wants to play let him play. I wouldn’t do it but if he is cleared by his own personal docs and he feels good, why not get some good real live practice in even if they don’t have much of a chance. You never know

    NICE MOVE KD!! SMART MOVE!! "It's just best for me to wait," Durant said. "I don't think I'm ready to play that type of intensity right now in the next month. It gives me more time to get ready for next season and the rest of my career.
    "My season is over. I don't plan on playing at all. We decided last summer when it first happened that I was just going to wait until the following season. I had no plans of playing at all this season."
    "I had to reset and totally focus on just me and what I wanted out of this thing," Durant said. "For the first time, I felt like I was in my own space rehabbing. I didn't feel like I had to be a part of the team and travel with the team and do everything like I was playing. I could really take my time and focus on myself each and every day.
    "I didn't feel rushed at all. That was a great space to be in. I was putting pressure on myself in previous injuries, wanting to hurry up and come back. I saw my teammates having fun and wanted to be out there. This time, I felt like I was more patient throughout the process mentally and not rushing myself mentally, not get too excited when my team plays well or I have a good [rehab] day. I'm taking things second by second, and I'm trying to look out for what is best long term." VEGAS WANTS TO MAKE MONEY WITH KD'S NAME

    The difference with the Nets and the Celtics is self awareness. The players on the Nets know they don’t have a chance to want without KD and Kyrie. The Celtics players actually thought they could win a championship (they can’t).

    I hope he doesnt come back. I just believe it would be better to just wait out the season just because I believe he would be so much better to come into the next season 120% and gets to ease into full practice and training camp and then get the full season in before the playoffs.
