NBA.com has clutch shooting statistics for every season dating back to 1997. So which player is the king of clutch? I wanted a large sample size, so I chose LeBron, Kobe, KD and Steph. I compiled numbers for both the regular season and playoffs. What we are looking at here is total points scored in… Read More Who’s the Clutch King of the NBA?
I don’t think KD’s request that’s the Nets fire Steve Nash and Sean Marks is the full story. I wrote a post over a month ago, right when KD first demanded a trade out of Brooklyn, that I thought KD was trying to “break up” with Kyrie without actually explicitly saying or doing so—in other… Read More More Evidence KD Wants out of Brooklyn Because of Kyrie
So KD has not backed off his trade request, and he has made his demands clearer: I am not sure why KD specifically wants Nash and Marks fired. It probably explains it in the Athletic article but I’m not paying for to read it. ESPN is not reporting it at all. There’s nothing about this… Read More KD Delivers Ultimatum to Nets Owner Joe Tsai: Either Fire Steve Nash & Sean Marks, or Trade Me
We may be nearing another Celtics-Nets blockbuster trade that will define each franchise for years to come, only this time, I’m not so sure the Celtics are going to be the ones making out like bandits. I don’t know why I didn’t see this coming. The Celtics were an obvious choice for a KD trade.… Read More Report: Celtics Emerging As Strong Contenders in KD Trade Talks
KD is now demanding a trade from the Nets, and will be headed to his 4th team. Every time he’s left a team, the narrative is always spun that one of his former teammates was the problem that caused KD to have to head for greener pastures. Russ was the problem in OKC. Draymond was… Read More I’m Not that Surprised the Trade Market for Kevin Durant Has Been Underwhelming Thus Far
It’s starting to feel like Woj is the guy who regurgitates whatever the Nets’ front office wants him to say: While Kevin Durant requested a trade last week and the Brooklyn Nets have been amenable to dealing him away, talks have been slow to materialize. The Nets are having a difficult time finding a trade… Read More Woj: KD Might Remain with Nets
I think KD demanded this trade because of Kyrie. Think about it: if he was happy that Kyrie opted-in, would he have requested out? No. If his goal was to run it back with Kyrie while adding Ben Simmons, it was already mission complete. We thought KD was about to request a trade if the… Read More My Theory on Why Kevin Durant Demanded a Trade from the Brooklyn Nets
Holy shit. Free agency hasn’t even officially started yet (about an hour and a half still left) but things are already going crazy: And they’re going to give it to him, too. When a player of KD’s caliber requests a trade, you have to pretty much grant his wishes. Or else you diminish your chances… Read More Sorry, NETS Fans: Kevin Durant Has Requested a Trade; Targets Phoenix or Miami as Landing Spots
Things have apparently gone from bad to worse for the Brooklyn Nets: after contract extension talks with Kyrie Irving “stalled,” and it was reported that there was a real chance Kyrie could be leaving the Nets, there was chatter (first reported by Woj, I believe) that we shouldn’t be surprised if we see Kyrie take… Read More The Nets Might Be in Some Real Trouble—Plus, Beal to Become an Unrestricted Free Agent? And: Draft Night is Here
Via Shams Charania of the Athletic: The Nets’ negotiations with Kyrie Irving were always going to be challenging, and now they’ve reportedly reached an impasse. Irving can opt out of his contract and become a free agent at the end of this month, and conversations with Brooklyn over an extension have gone stagnant. It could… Read More Report: Nets, Kyrie at “Impasse” in Contract Extension Talks; Could Kyrie Be on the Move?
