You don't think he'll be as willing to make room for AD as he was with Luka? You might be right about that, but, idk...I can kind of imagine he'll like playing with AD much MORE, honestly. I obviously have no idea whether or not that's true, it just wouldn't surprise me. Not sure what's changed in terms of Kyrie's desire to help the FO put a competitive roster together. I get why FANS might feel that's hopeless, but I doubt Kyrie feels that way. To him, a top 10 guy went out and another one came in. He might even be thrilled at the idea of touching the ball more, nay?
I mean it certainly matters how he talked to Kidd and Nico about Luka behind the scenes and how blindsided he was by the deal.
I'm looking at it from the view that he was blindsided and he no longer trusts that he would remain here longterm himself if he stuck around on a discount.
Maybe he has a better relationship and trusts them still. He shouldn't if he does
