AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel

Ok, but...

60 games. Meh. 

Whether or not we want to accept it, 99% of the world believes he almost singlehandedly steered Brooklyn's franchise into oncoming traffic. 

What he did after the trade is hard to credit, since the Mavs were worse than before. 

I realize there's another side to all of that, but I get why the modern, national meta on Kyrie is so negative, I really do.

I get all of that, but the reality is that all of the Kyrie negativity is off the court (and supposedly out of the locker room as well).  He has never stopped being elite while on the court, and if we can get 60+ games out of him, I think he will easily be top 20.
