cavs should probably call sacramento and see if they can get fox and some other kid. hawks for schröder. the pacers have collison as their starting point guard. bulls always want to add point guards. maybe suns for bledsoe?

That's not good enough. The Spurs only strive for excellence and clearly Pop has stagnated. He has plateaued and is unwilling to elevate his team to the next level.

>>77241032
You're gonna have to give up at least a draft pick to get Kyrie.

>>77241078
it kind of has to go down now, right? this dude can't brief the press that he doesn't want to play with LeBron and then show up to training camp.

>>77240918

Imagine having to play on a team where you're number two to a guy who is the central player, an on bench coach, a team manager, has the GMs ear.

People hated playing with Kobe because he was a control freak so think about the sort of person LeBron is, has been and will be. LeBron abandons teams if they can't consistently win, so you better believe he's willing to chop heads if his team isn't projected to win. Kyrie sees the writing on the wall

>>77240856
>juked you swishhhh

>>77240817
If Kyrie is really fine with any of those 4 teams, Spurs won't be able to get him unless they go crazy with how many future 1st rounders they give up, which isn't the Spurs MO.

Miami and Minnesota are in the driver's seat right now with how much assets they can offer. Knicks have a chance if they can find a team that wants to go in on a 3-way trade for Carmelo that sends more assets to the Cavs for Kyrie.

That's like saying Kobe was trash because the first years since being drafted they didn't make the playoffs or KG, or literally any top pick on a bad team.

>>77241412
Not even Dan Gilbert is retarded enough to do that.

Apparently LeBron was a long time Linkin Park fan too and repeatedly stated that Linkin Park got him through some really rough times

Melo + Lee + O'Quinn + 2020 1st for Kyrie

why does cleveland have to trade kyrie?

Think about it, the worst that could happen is he leaves in 2018 and you get nothing for him. But by keeping him around against his will you have a legit shot at a championship.There's no reason to panic and trade someone just because they say they're leaving. If he does leave then that means lebron is gone too and you can just tank

What if LeBron's master plan is to send all of the talent to the west so he can just make the finals and give him a best of 7 shot at winning another ring?

bron is legit hyped that he can leave now and no one will blame him.

The Cavs are slowly being driven insane by the Warriors.

Kyrie is being traded, Bron is going to the Sixers, and soon Love will ask for a trade too.

>>77241614
LeBron leaving "to follow Kyrie" would looks awful. Itd be better for him to just leave and say he wants to try other teams. He paid his debt, the city would miss him, but there's be no hard feelings

>LeBron intends to let the Cavs front office and owner Dan Gilbert take the lead with Kyrie Irving's demands

LeGiveNoFucksAnymore

Friendly reminder that apart from 3 games kyrie played like dogshit in last years playoffs

>>77240690
no. you should probably go down to the local mental health authority and have your iq tested.

>>77241648
Lakers can't take Irving or LeBron. They'd over shadow Ball, and Ball is SINGLE-HANDEDLY taking the Lakers to the playoffs.

Yeah ok.

He should go to the nets or hornets.

Lebron IS the cancer. He ate away at Cleveland once before, he then ate away at Miami, now he's doing it to Cleveland again. Will the Lakers be next?

>>77241665
>Raptors

Lmfao is all I have to say. The only teams that pose a threat are the Cavs, Wizards, and Heat. Everyone else is literally irrelevant and bums lol.

>>77241685
Yes, all decent players should leave their team if they aren't numbah 1.

Maybe Kyrie could just work to improve and have LeBron hand over the title soon

>>77241631
Wizards are still better than the Celtics are this point, and you can never count out those Toronto boys

>>77241683
he looks sexy in the spurs jersey

>>77241689
Because the purpose of a front office is to build a team, not not do anything

>>77241703
The headline is misleading. It's not that he wants nothing with LeBron, it's that he apparently doesn't like being #2 and wants to be on a team where he's the star.

Personally I think it's retarded, he's appreciated in Cleveland, it's not like he's neglected

>>77241717

They literally lost to a worse Celtics team last season bruh

>>77241734
which doesn't make sense cause him wanting to go to spurs he'll still be #2 to kawhi but the others he'd be the star but no chance at a ring again

Loses Finals when he has a teammate better than him. Wants to be on a team where he's the best player. Sounds like a real winner to me!

>/nba/ says teams that lost to the Celtics, didn't even make playoffs, or the the ECF are better than my Celties

I can see the jealously and fear but it's ok guys, I relish an all SPC finals. See you in June SpurBros.

>>77241767
This. There's no other team that would garuntee a ring if he went there (except for GS). Cavs are the best chance he has. Yeah they lost to GS, but they fucking annihilated the rest of the east in the post season

i don't like it. established stars don't let themselves be molded the way pop wants them, cf. LMA. they'd have to cut major salary and they have three guys competing to start at PG with mills, murray, and parker. all of them will stay.

just for >basketball reasons, i'd like to see zach lowe's idea. irving for cousins straight up. james and boogie is as interesting a pairing as is irving and davis. cavs might flip love for a lead guard and pieces in that case.

>Kyrie for Lonzo

>>77241712
Durant and Curry are literally 2 of the 3 best players in the league, and Klay is a top 10 player.

Its one thing for a top 5 player, and top 10 player, and a top 25 player to be all in the same team, but this is fucking stupid. This would be like if Duncan, Dirk, and VC were all on the same team in the 2000s.

https://vine.co/v/hXd7QaxUMg5

>>77241815
No, because getting Kyrie means you can't get Lebron.

>>77241818
Don't forget the #1 defensive player (Green), and a guy who would be an Eastern All-Star (Igoudala). It's arguably the best 5 of all time.

>>77241837
Why leave a year early though? If he really wants to be a star, then stay in Cleveland, if LBJ goes, Kyries our boy now

>>77241818
>Klay is a top 10 player
Klay is worse than Beal at this point.He is not even top 20

Klay is by far the best 3 and D player in the league, and has great handles to boot.

Players like Luol Deng and Wesley Mathews got near max contracts because of the value of a 3 and D players, and they aren't anywhere near Thompson's level.

I'd love to see Kyrie on the Nuggets with Jokic and Millsap. They need a PG really bad. Nuggets don't have any assets though...

My bet is the Suns make a trade, exchange Bledsoe and either Chriss or Bender for him.

>Irving
>Booker
>Warren
>Jackson

Fuggg I really like this lineup.
