In the days of player empowerment and constant moving around teams, it feels like there are more players than ever that are guarantees for the Hall… but possibly no teams that want to hang their number in the rafters. Who do you reckon falls into this category?

      I think Kyrie would have to do a whole kiss-ass thing after his retirement to get himself back into the good graces of whoever owns the team by that time. Problem is, I doubt he would ever do that, he seems like the type of guy who would retire and then just completely disappear from public life. No NBA talking head segments, no comment on current players, people will just randomly run into him wearing a hoodie and dominating at a park somewhere on a Sunday afternoon.

      Was there 6 years, 4 of which were all star seasons. More than he’s played anywhere else by far.

      We’re also talking about a franchise who retired Nate Thurmonds number after playing there for a season and a half.
