TBH, I'm a bit surprised that the Celtics are interested in getting Durant to the point that they will trade their core players just to get him. They reached the NBA Finals without him so what's the point in getting him? They only lost to Warriors because of experience that's all but I believe this current core players of the Celtics will get a championship in the future. That's how promising these players are.
The point is they still lost. And if the management gets some hint that they could improve their roster to guarantee a championship, they should explore it. I too, do not agree that they should break their core for Durant, but I am not an expert. And their GM is doing fine building this team so far, maybe we could give him the benefit of the doubt and trust that he could still make this team better than it already is. Kyrie Irving reportedly sought contractual guarantees that he wouldn't have to make more than 60 appearances per season and could skip back-to-back games as part of his extension talks with the Brooklyn Nets.

What are your thoughts about this one? When I saw this, I was like "WTF?" Looks like the Nets got 2 all-star players which has more authority than the management themselves.

Maybe Kyrie is thinking if Kawhi was able to include that in his contract, maybe he could too? But Kawhi is different since he is injured, and keeping him healthy for the playoff run proves to be beneficial to the team. He got Raptors a ring. Kyrie is different in a way, you are still not guaranteed how he will react even if you grant him that. He is so unpredictable that you do not know if he will perform or what drama will come next. Nets should teach him a lesson and not grant him this one.
