The comparison of Littlefinger to Durant is perfect. The drama behind Kyrie saying he would stay and keep his commitments while Durant had one foot out the door the entire time is a total Littlefinger move.
To win a ring, you must be cold-hearted.

NBA free agency is about to become the wild west as teams will now be scrambling to put together offers for the most significant piece of the puzzle. With so much in play before this news, one would have to wonder if the Knicks are changing their stance on Jalen Brunson being the star of the off-season moves.
