I hope he doesn’t have to pay NY taxes on the salary.
Good work if you can find it. I hope Uncle Drew stands his ground.
Get paid $19M to play ZERO games this season? Kyrie might do it. The Nets are in a rough spot because (a) they need Kyrie at PG, (b) Kyrie will technically still be on the roster, preventing the Nets from acquiring another player, and (c) while they save the salary they would have paid him, the luxury tax calculation would still use his full salary (a NBA suspension is a different matter). If they could have gotten a write-off for his lost salary, the Nets would have saved about $60M on their luxury tax bill this season, far more than his potential lost salary of $15M.
What’s happening right now is significant. I promise you The System is scared. We’re FINALLY seeing real pushback from parts of the country The System didn’t expect. This will catch on. Cheer for Kyrie Irving. And Southwest Airlines pilots. They’re starting something. https://t.co/w1MM6dpuiV— Jesse Kelly (@JesseKellyDC) October 12, 2021
Perhaps the reason that he is banned is because where all others have been vaccinated and have compromised their vascular systems, he has not.
If he were to play he would run circles around these myocardially challenged sheep.
Kuddos to this lone wolf.
MSM this morning said he could be up for $16 Million in fines.
