Kyrie Irving on his trade conversations with Kevin Durant: “It’s water under the bridge now. I wish them well. I left them in fourth place. I did what I was supposed to do, took care of my teammates, was incredibly selfless in my approach to leading.” – 5:11 PM

Spencer Dinwiddie on Nets acquiring Dorian Finney-Smith in the Kyrie Irving trade: “When they (Nets) called and asked about him, I told them that’s not going to be a guy you want to lose. He’s a guy that defends one through five… I ain’t met a guy he can’t guard outside of me.” pic.twitter.com/8x2NJW1fcE – 5:05 PM

Just back from Mavs practice at the Galen Center at USC…Didn’t get my timing right on much good footage of Kyrie scrimmaging. But if the Mavs sign Jared Dudley to a 10-day, dude can still knock down an open 3 off a Kyrie drive and kick… pic.twitter.com/ZgSBJVKanD – 5:03 PM

Watching Kyrie’s introductory presser in Dallas just reaffirms what I said yesterday on the @PHNX_Suns pod about why the Suns should be glad they didn’t trade for him:

Among the many reasons why Luka and Kyrie might be the perfect pairing, Luka does most of his damage early in games His 30 20 pt halves (leads NBA) inc 20 in 1st. Kyrie has 19 20 pt halves (7th), 14 of which are in 2nd half, and of his 10 15 pt qtrs, 8 come in the 4th. – 4:11 PM

Nets trail Clippers, 55-53, entering the half. Cam Thomas has 22 points on 7/12 FG, 5/7 3PT. Royce O’Neale is 5/6 from 3PT for 15 PTS. Cam has answered the bell two straight games with Kyrie Irving now gone. Is this for real? Is it sustainable? – 8:31 PM

I stand by my apology and I stand by my people, everywhere.” Kyrie Irving on his apology for posting the link to a film with anti-semitic tropes. (via @Ohm Youngmisuk) -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / February 7, 2023

Callie Caplan: Jason Kidd on Kyrie Irving’s fit with Luka Doncic: “We look back at when we had JB, being able to have a play-maker like that.
