Markieff Morris: If Kyrie hadn’t been injured, the Nets would have swept the Bucks in 2021.

Although Irving only referred to feeling “disrespected” by the Nets, his teammate elaborated in an interview with The Post. “Until it was time to extend his contract, the two sides did not meet, business came in, and so on. That’s how it goes,” said Markieff Morris, who was traded with Irving from Brooklyn to Dallas last year. “I think Kyrie was about 27 [points] at that time. I think we won 18 out of 20 and suddenly the business got involved. It happens like that sometimes. A guy with Kyrie’s caliber, I can’t stand that either. Get me out of there.” – via New York Post / June 8, 2024
