The Brooklyn Nets made an aggressive but very fair move to solve their Kyrie Irving problem, banning him from games and training sessions. They will still pay him for the 39 road games that he won't play but he will still lose some $17 million of his salary.

In response, Irving spoke via the media and his own social media account about his decision and hinted there will be no compromise from his side.

By contrast, Ben Simmons has decided to rejoin the Philadelphia 76ers after months of finger-pointing between the two sides. So far, there is no promise that Simmons will play or the team will send him away.
