Beyond the KD situation is NBA players are sick of plantation mentality.
Thats whats happening in the NBA, its a power struggle going on….

Pretty sure the KD Saga tore up some locker rooms as well around the league—a lot of these players found out how “loyal” their organizations really are.

It’s shameful how players act like spoiled brats today, they are paid millions and they want to decided when they want to play or not, or for who to play, it would be like us regular people deciding not to show up for work but still expect our full salary at the end of the month

KD: I want the GM and coach fired or I want to be traded
Nets: how about neither
KD: fair enough

Kevin Durant made business moves and behooved the Nets organization to make decisions for the future. I believe it’s strictly business. No emotions.

And KD gets another pass….they’re actually trying to narrate this as a players vs owners issue when really it’s just Kevin Durant who tried to demand a trade right after he signed a 4yr deal. Stephen A need to call this what TF it is talking about KD hands ain’t clean..😂 Bruh! Not only is his hands not clean, both of em are covered in horse sht. KD is an absolute toxic star in this story

Thank you, First Take, for the education. Empowerment is 1 thing, entitlement is TOTALLY another!

SAS ain’t lying…but let’s not forget when then owners control too much it’s an issue, just like when the players control too much it’s been an issue that we are seeing.
If there is no medium that can be met, then they need to change the NBA into a prize league.
Instead of paying players millions in salaries, they maybe need to play for the prize at the end. The winning team wins 2-5 billion and splits that up between the players and the second place team gets 1-2 billion. I know it sounds wild but this will incentivize players and owners more, which would make the sport better, instead of players or owners worrying about themselves.

Sounds like the owners colluded to me. There’s no way to argue it didn’t happen.

After all this the biggest blame will go on Ben Simmons. Atlanta literally beat the 6ers by fouling Ben Simmons then he decided not to play a whole season… I see him doing bad and the blame being shifted there.

This MIGHT have an effect on gauranteed money. That’s the only thing I think might change. But owners always have the power.

He wasn’t half this animated when James Harden actually got traded twice last season….please start the games so we can have real topics instead of these tabloid stories everyday

KD expected Kyrie to be signed as well or else he would have been elsewhere. It’s plain and simple
