Someone tell me again how KD is a better value than Donovan?
Depends on how badly you want to win. Assuming your team has a decent team around him, you always have a shot to win. With that said you risk having to deal with all the baggage that comes with KD.Someone tell me again how KD is a better value than Donovan?
I just don't get it. Feels like he is challenging Tsai (who kinda tried to get tough with Kyrie)... If you are KD do you want your own GM and coach... Who's to say he doesn't ask out again?
This whole thing is weird.

Looks like the Nets owner isn't giving into KD.

Yes, I'm sure KD is pursuing a well developed psy-op scheme.Kevin Durant is trying to undertake “bridge-actions” e.g., mobilizing support within distinct and sometimes competing political venues. (Media, management, ownership, court of public opinion, etc.). Believe me , I served on a US Army tactical psyop team in Central America during the 1980s so I’m well aware of the tactic/strategy.
Pretty sure Durant said both of 'em. He's trying to blackball Tsai and the FO to lowering their price so he can be dealt. I don't think it'd necessarily be beyond ridiculous (sometimes there are situations where you just have to leave) except that Marks has all but handied Durant and Nash was Durant's choice, not Marks.Unless there is another report that tweet doesnt read to me that Durant is asking for both the GM and Coach to be fired. I read it as he is requesting a trade or that the GM/Coach are not working out together and one of them needs to go. Its all kind of **** but seems better than requesting both gone. But maybe I am misreading it or its been clarified elsewhere.
He’s making things messy to try and force their hand.Pretty sure Durant said both of 'em. He's trying to blackball Tsai and the FO to lowering their price so he can be dealt.

GameFace, bridge-actions are not a well developed psyop tactic. Instead, bridge actions is just a term that describes how common folk all over the world practice politics, political maneuvering. The anthropologist FG Bailey (1960) coined the term as he described various castes in a village in India maneuvering for advantage in a changing mercantile economy. Durant is no different from you, me, or the various caste members in India as we all seek to promote our public image, social standing, etc. I apologize if I came off sounding pretentious or pulled the appealing to authority card.Yes, I'm sure KD is pursuing a well developed psy-op scheme.
Exactly.He’s making things messy to try and force their hand.
Makes me appreciate how Donovan has handled all the noise out of Utah and NY.He’s making things messy to try and force their hand.
Pretty much. If nothing else, we can appreciate that. Just hope a deal gets done that everyone can be happy with.Makes me appreciate how Donovan has handled all the noise out of Utah and NY.
