The contract may also be impacted by this. I've assumed opting out of his PO would give him the greatest leverage. Is that still his best path?
I don’t think there’s a scenario where Kyrie opts out. He’s not getting 44 mil now anywhere else.
I do think he opts and extends with Nico giving him a good will extension given Kyrie took a small discount initially when he came here.
I am fully expecting Kyrie to be out till February though. Guys at his age usually tend to take on the longer end for rehab. But that’s just an educated guess. He could potentially be back as early as December if the tear is not so severe
