He goes on to write.

He's forever indebted to the city and quote, It's far from a goodbye as I pay all of my debts.

As for hardens future, we did get our first look at him as a member of the Nets alongside K D.

On Saturday, he had 32 points, 14 assists, 12 rebounds.

Oh, by the way, K D dropped 42 after the games, James said.

Quote.

It was easy out there hard and responsible for 63 points against the Magic when you look into right between the third most all time for a debut in MBA history behind his Rockets debut.

2020 12 Kyrie Nets debut last season.

Kyrie, of course, that out Saturday's game and just reported by Whoa Kyrie is also gonna miss tonight's game against the Bucks on TNT as he works his way back into playing shape after missing what will now be seven games due to personal reasons.

Robert James said it was easy.

How easy do you expect it to be for the nets moving forward?

Uh, this is one of these projects that you have to wait and see, because when you come to a team for the first time, you're excited.

So you have all this energy, you have all this emotion.

You want to see how this is gonna work out in 10 more games when you have that same energy in that same emotion?

And will your teammates feel the same about you?

Because we know James has a tendency to hold the ball and dribble, dribble.

But when he's not, when he's doing that and you're losing, how are your teammates gonna react?

Because right now, this is the honeymoon way.

Want to see how this wedding is?

This match could be, you know, 20 games in 10 games in, because that's when the true team is gonna emerge.

Because right now, like I said, this is the honeymoon.

Everybody's happy during the honeymoon.

Well, I think we're not gonna see this team lose too much.

It's just too much talent.

There's too much shooting on the floor.

I think you're going to see this team played very well, very fast, and you could see the transition was pretty seamless.

Why is that?

Mhm Mike D'Antoni?

Maybe.

But see, look at this.

James Harden making plays off the pick and roll K d.

Such a big target.

He can hit him out there getting easy shots.

He's a cake shots for K d.

He don't even the work for these right here because James Harden draws so much attention.

But this is the play.

James Harden recognizes immediately that Katie has the mismatch.

K g swings it to Brown, who is the other.

And if they keep making plays like this, that's when they're gonna be dangerous.

When they don't care who the next guy is, and they trust that next guy they trust the past with that much talent is gonna be very hard to deal with them.

And by the way, that could be Kyrie in the corner next time eventually, right?

I mean, that's the idea.

So swing, swing, swing, Spring two Kyrie.

So you've got a little bit Just switch them all around.

I mean, it's just gonna be like whoever has the match up that guy's gonna have the ball and he's gonna create.

And long as he keeps trusting, this guy's good things are gonna happen for this team.

Yeah, we see teams that cruise through a regular season and then in the playoffs it gets harder.

What do you think he knows?

I'm being diplomatic holiday?

What do you think, Robert?

What is sort of the thing that they have to work on throughout the regular season?

Because physics, right, there's gonna be a lot of nights.

It's just kind of easy and one ball out there.

And so what do they need to work on and sharpen?

So when they get to those tougher tests in the playoffs, they could be up for them.

You know, it's gonna blow it on the team work, you know, and it sounds simple, but it is because carrying the ball handling and how he's gonna react with James handing the ball.

And I think Katie is the one that is going to sit back because I think he he could realize, Hey, I don't have to use that much energy hell in Iraq, I could come off screens and shoot the ball, but we always talk about the offensive end, but we also have to know they got to play golf and they lost their three best defensive players.

So it's really gonna be interesting how they can mix that all together on both ends because these guys are all capable of playing good team defense.

Katie, especially Kyrie, has done it.

James has even done it.

I know his reputation, but he's he's done it.

E just hasn't bought into it that often.

I'm referring to the guy with the seven range.

I want to get to caress Albert, Um, move from the Nets, of course, to the Pacers as part of that four team trade.

But news over the weekend he's out indefinitely after an M R.

I revealed a small mass on his left kidney during a physical prior to finalizing the trade.

Now the Pacers talked about the fact that they discussed Should we avoid the deal, right?

And Robert Ory?

You told the story on Friday's show about you were part of a trade for Sean Elliott when a physical revealed part of his kidney problem and that deal was avoided.

The Pacers decided, though they did want to stick with the trade.

Brooklyn sent an additional $2.6 million to Indy to ensure that the deal held up.

So I'm sure that helps to.

Levert will undergo further medical test.

Of course, the entire N B A.

Community hopes to seek Harris back out on the court as soon as possible, and it is a good sign not to get into his private medical business.

But the fact that the Pacers decided after seeing his records and seeing the M R I.

We don't consider this such a long term problem.

We want to keep him.

That's just good to sort of Noah's.

We all think and wish the best for him that hopefully it's not a super significant, life altering type of thing, and he can get treatment.

Get back on the court as soon as possible.
