Stephen a Smith should not be asking players to Retire. That is none of his business. Not a fan of Kyrie's recent antics, however sometimes players go through a phase. Kyrie has a great basketball skills, if he allows somebody to be his coach or a mentor, Kyrie can become a good leader. However prior to that Kyrie needs to be a productive teammante and that he should not be needing a coach. That is the least he can do by being a constructive and productive teammate.

Stephen A is showing KI tough love. "Is Kyrie ready to return with a real commitment for entire season?" Yes or No? Kyrie's vision was KD duo, and now it's a trio. Kyrie must push pass 3rd wheel, new duo and off the bench talk for a chip. Kyrie is a sensitive, gifted and misunderstood hero. He lost his Mom at 4 and he adores his sacificing Father. Kyrie's fans wish him the best.

Science lies about everything. Instead of proving the earth is flat in which you walk on a flat surface every single day. Longitude & Latitude is used to measure distance on a flat surface and compass is direction is for a flat earth as well. The flight plan to go anywhere around the world is measured by longitude and latitude and when the distance is measured by a line a flat surface. Is there any debate their?

Lakers are undoubtedly the best team in the Nba, Kyrie and Kd is not enough to take Lebron and the big man down. They needed that offensive force that Harden brings. If you look at the nets history they tried to bring the Celtics line up to the nets. They felt short and the great 3 point king Ray Allen. Nets is a great organization and they out smarter a lot of people.

If you look at at KD is calm about everything, because he indeed knows that they will acquire 3 superstars, because what does Kyrie and Irving wants to take Lebron James down, and what does James want his first Ring with these players. Kyrie is a very smart man. The Organization succeeded.

Steven A., I will let you know right now their plan. Kyrie had this master plan to where he needs to being his market value down, to look bad so that the rockets wouldn't want him. What is better than 2 superstars? 3 is the answer. Kyrie quotes media are just pawns. Kyrie is a smart man. They needed to think of a way that the Rockets wouldn't want Kyrie Irving wether it's mental issues or or as a player in general Kyrie, KD, and James succeeded. All the paparazzi and talks are just talks. You of all people should know that Steven A., the main goal is to win a championship and their master plan worked. Now James and KD will carry the team let the media die down a little then Irving will come back. “Just like nothing happened”.

I’ve never been a (Dook) fan of KI, and he just might need to take a leave of absence, but I AM a fan of sympathy and empathy! He may honestly have some ‘personal issues’ that involve his mental, emotional, and/or his physical health. If you suffer from an ‘invisible’ illness, it’s not easy to explain it to others and have them believe you because you don’t look/act/seem ‘sick’. Making $XYZ million per year doesn’t mean he needs to ‘shut up and dribble’.

The thing about Kyrie that most people don't understand is that he values his personal relationships with his loved ones more than he does his "job". He is committed to his family and loved ones. How many times have anybof us been at a job and missed a special family event because of work? We might get fired or get demoted for skipping work for a family event. Kyrie on the other hand has the mentality that well will be there when he gets back from his sister's birthday party. Frankly, i don't blame him. Go support your sister, especially in these times. Tomorrow ain't guaranteed to anyone so spend that quality time with your loved ones
