Only 2 players in the last 10 years have led the franchises that drafted them to their first championship ever. Dirk and LeBron.

They are the 2 most loyal greats in the league, and it's why they both claim to respect each other, and LeBron says Dirk is one of his favorite players ever :^)

Go back 20 years, it's only 4 players: Dirk, Duncan, LeBron, and Wade.

These are the 4 most loyal greats in the last 2 decades. Winning a championship for a team that drafted you and has never won before is the single greatest achievement in sports.

also, giving a list of teams he would like to go to increases his trade value, as those teams will think themselves more likely to hold onto him for more than his current contract.

Greetings! Adam Silver here. Just wanted to gauge /nba/'s opinion on this storyline I'm considering.

>Durant can't help but feel a nagging sense of emptiness playing for Golden State despite winning multiple championships
>Happens to run in to Westbrook one day in the tunnel before the start of an OKC-GSW game
>What starts as a awkward exchange of polite small talk soon turns in to both players spilling their emotions about mistakes they feel they have both made in the past
>They decide to call up Harden who admits he is frustrated having not progressed anywhere playing in Houston
>The gang agrees to get back together and they proceed to win a few championships as aging veterans at the place where it all started: Seattle

What do you guys think?

>>77253436

they are not giving up Porzingas for TT essentially

>>77253467

>>77252602
KYRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE IRVING

Kyrie isn't even a top 10 pg

>>77253433
This. Gilbert can send him anywhere he wants, he can trade him to the clippers for a new Kia if he wanted to

>>77253479
>hes going to the spurs bro, he said so lol
It's not his call. Also Spurs makes zero sense, he wants to leave so he can be the face of the team. He won't be the face of the spurs

>>77253479
Doesn't matter what Kyrie says or wants.
He is totally at the mercy of Cavs front office (Lebron) in the terms of his trade

>>77253456
Maybe if you didn't let Harden get together this squad in Houston it might have worked

Kyrie
Middleton
Giannis
Thon Maker
Monroe

Who can stop us ?

What's /sp/ think is going on? I don't fully buy this story and the reason. If Kyrie wants to be the face of the franchise, then why would he list places like San Antonio as places he wants to go to?

And it's not like he thinks he has a better shot at a ring next year, right? Cavs are the best shot he has right now. And Lebron's been grooming him to become the leader for some time now, so it's not like Lebron's being huffy and trying to keep him down.

I want to hear what's going from someone other than anonymous sources. That being said, I do trust Woj's sources, I just don't think enough has been said yet

>>77252826
Kobe wasn't drafted by the Lakers but that was the only team he ever played for so he should credit.

Also how the hell did you forget curry, klay and draymond? Not to mention Dwayne wade. Or Duncan for that matter.

This is truely flat earther logic here. Kyrie is fucking delusional if he thinks he alone can turn the dumpster fire that is the Knicks into a championship team all of a sudden.
Gilbert may be an idiot at times, but the dude fucking loves his team and wants rings and will do whatever it takes. Dolan is cheap and a full on retard, and I honestly think he forgets he owns a team sometimes, since he's so busy playing in his podunk band

>>77253541
>He won't be the face of the spurs
True, but if the spurs have the best offer he ost likely wouldn't mind playing for an actual competent team and not one led by Lebron and his posse.

>kyrie and lebron leaving

dan gibbert broke when?

>>77253661
Cavs are plenty competent. LeBron's pretty fucking smart, and would make a damn good coach. Even if this was the case, I don't see why Kyrie wants to leave suddenly, it doesn't seem so bad that he should be desperate to get out a couple years early

>>77253696
Lebron not committing to the Cavs doesn't help either.

kyrie doesnt get to choose where he goes. his contract is pretty affordable compared to other stars

Keep in mind that the Cavs have to start thinking in rebuild mode because there's a bigger chance now that Lebron leaves and Spurs have the best young pieces they can offer

Friendly reminder to delusional idiots speculating about Kyrie going to their team should stop because he's headed to the Knicks.

This is all just another LeBron ploy, and the idea that Kyrie doesn't like playing with LeBron is just a convenient storyline to feed the fans. They both realize the current build of the Cavs isn't enough to beat the Warriors, and the only way to significantly open up flexibility and tweak the roster is by one of them going elsewhere packaged with a bunch of their shitty contracts. Carmelo is a very similar player to Irving, except both player's ages and contracts make it so they could get Carmelo + a whole lot of other stuff that helps the Cavs have a better chance to win right now.

>>77253602
See
>>77253959

This explains why both the Cavs and the Knicks have been doing so many strange things. It's all just a clever ruse by LeBron.

No they don't you idiot. LeBron is 32, and KP is a build for the future player with 0 playoff experience.

LeBron is the GM of the Cavs and wants to win right now. LeBron was never going to go the 76ers of Lakers. Carmelo was never going to be traded to Houston. Kyrie doesn't actually hate playing with LeBron, and the reason why Rose hasn't signed anywhere yet is because he ultimately plans to go to the Cavs when all this comes together possibly even as a sign and trade in the Carmelo/Kyrie trade.

Trade LeBron. You aren't winning the championship with him again, might as well stay young. Plus the haul from trading him would be much more than for Irving.

>>77254253
How do you get BTFO this bad? How does he bring his "kid" to his parents and not be ashamed? I wouldn't be able to look at them in the eyes?

>>77254279
Lebron has no trade clause

Another player that is probably involved with this whole LeBron plan is Eric Bledsoe as the Suns have been a rumored 3rd trading partner between the Knicks and Cavs, and he has the same agent as LeBron, and the 2 reportedly are really good friends.

It gives the Cavs a decent perimeter defender to stick on Curry.

>>77254242

That says "Warriors Basketball", Warriors isn't a city. And basketball is only the 3rd most popular sport in the US, so the city name alone isn't enough in some cases.

>This Celdicks delusion

Let's assume for a second this whole Kyrie thing isn't just LeBron's plan. Let's say Kyrie really did blindside LeBron with the news that he wants to leave.

Kyrie is a 25 year old averaging 25 ppg and 6 apg under a team friendly 3 year contract that has more playoff experience than literally every single player on the Celtics.

The amount of trade value he has is enormous. You could very very easily flip him for things that would give you a better chance to win right now than keeping him does.

That shirt doesn't say the city name and is an officially liciensed shirt. But many knock offs will put "[City Name] [Sport]" so they don't have to pay royalties.

True. If Kyrie leaves Lebron's career from this point and building his legacy ends. At least in Cleveland. But this better for the cavs than either keep a star point guard who doesn't wanna be there or send him to a team with players lebron doesn't care about playing with, instead of one of his best friends melo and high school friend (with the same agent) bledsoe.

What does it feel like to have crippling retardation?

You don't notice this ENORMOUS coincidence that LeBron is gonna get to play with 2 guys he's wanted to play with for a long time because Kyrie just, completely out of nowhere, says he wants out?

This is what LeBron has wanted the whole time you raving idiots. This was all his plan.

>>77255985
because 32 teams/6divisions isnt a whole number

>>77255662
good moves if your goal is to keep all players involved happy. awful otherwise.

>>77255989
That team doesn't offensively lose 50 points from last year and losing Kyrie's "stellar" defense certainly doesn't award the Celtics 50 points especially if fucking Thomas is healthy. I think you're overestimating the Celtics again. Wasn't the ECF supposed to be 7 gruelling games for the Cavs ever they probably lost?

>>77255989
>Smith

It's going to be Rose bruh

>>77256041
It's not just about how much worse the cavs are. It's about how much better their competition is. Celtics were the #1 seed last year, got a top 3 draft pick, and signed the best free agent on the market. If the cavs don't have kyrie they don't beat the celtics.

yeah totally brah, Kyrie is so important to the Cavs that they put up an astonishing +/- of -120 in 600 minutes when Kyrie was on the floor without LeBron.

theres no way they can replace that.

why did kyrie pick teams that are either unrealistic or bad? if he goes to the knicks or heat he'll be fighting for a playoff spot, the timberwolves probably aren't willing to trade for him considering they just signed teague, traded for butler, and most likely won't trade their two young stars. Spurs would be realistic but tough, they would have to trade aldridge but the cavs don't need him so it'd be a 3+ team trade. He doesn't match their style of play anyway.

>>77255997
LeBron is a fucking moron so I don't care what faggot friends he wants to look at in the locker room, the team will be much worse next year. You're seriously a fucking stupid faggot

>>77256183

>>77256191
Miami because they have good taxes in Florida and a great franchise/very good coach and are ascendant.

Knicks because people always want to play for NYC, good or bad.

I get the city perspectives but miami or knicks won't help his career. He wants to be a focal point and lead a team. If he barely or doesn't make the playoffs it makes him look bad. And I wouldn't say people always want to play for NYC, that was one problem with Phil jackson that he couldn't get anyone to come play for the, even though he's gone now.

Spurs yeah I get and timberwolves because of jimmy butler. Butler said if he could play with anyone in the league it would be his "favorite player" kyrie.

Not even sure what you mean by this? Staying in a Post-LeBron Cleveland is a lot like being drafted to a Post-LeBron Cleveland (i.e pure shit) and he's doing more to help his career/brand/finances by going to bigger, better franchises with no state income tax or, in NYC's case, a huge media market.

>And I wouldn't say people always want to play for NYC

Compared to basically every single other team in the NBA they definitely do. The problem with this recent Knicks team was Melo and Phil Jackson, neither guy wanted to share the spotlight with anybody else, but at the same time you have to acknowledge that both Melo and Phil decided to work there and wanted to be there, just like Kyrie does. The Yankees get the same treatment: people want to live and play in New York City, it's a fact of life. The Knicks have always had the ability to draw really good free agents if you look at them historically, a lot better than 90% of the teams in the league.

Being a savior or hero in NYC is better than being a savior or hero in any other town, and athletes know that.

>>77256422

you do realize that Fultz and Simmons haven't played a single minute yet.
and Embiid has missed 2.5 of his first 3 seasons

and you are putting them on par with Curry Durant and Green and JJ Redick on par with Klay

>>77256496
Because Philly and Philly fans are shitty, and like I said NYC has a draw and appeal other cities don't have, and if you succeed in NYC you are king of the world, everybody loves you, and obviously Dolan, at the very least, will give you some retarded huge deal.

i don't get it. every time i sit back and check the news, there it is again, more disrespect for Lebron James.

Lebron, like the good guy he is, is not going to intervene with that faggot trying to leave Cleveland.

Is this the era of snakes and liars and betrayers? Someone check the Chinese calendar, is this the year of the snake or something?

Now, what i am surprised about is why Melo doesn't want to play for cleveland all of a sudden anymore, only until cpaul headed over there did his narrative change.

If Fultz, Simmons, and Embiid meet projected expectations, than I'd say they are better than the Cavs were this past year.

Much more of a passing dynamic, deeper bench with Saric and Covington.

Irving > Fultz (probably)
JR Smith < Reddick
LeBron = LeBron
Love = Simmons (totally different skillsets so hard to say. Simmons better passer and in paint, Love can shoot)
Thompson < Embiid (not even close)

I am completely baffled as to why Sixers and Lakers fans have this insanely optimistic expectation of how well their draft picks are gonna turn out when their recent drafting history consists of such gems as:

>D'Lo, Randle, Brandon "9.4/4.0/2.1" Ingram

>Okafor, MCW, Evan Turner

Between both teams, just two high draft picks in their recent history have turned out better than average at their position: Embiid and Noel, and one of them was traded to the mavs lmao

a) teammates who can play away from the ball with one ball dominant facilitator
-or-
b) teammates who can play away from the ball with many unselfish facilitators
Ball and Kyrie would piss off Kyre just as badly as Lebron and Kyrie. The whole reason Kyre wants out is because he wants to be the "ball dominant" facilitator. You got your Big Baller already LA, no ball dominant facilitator is going there. That means no lebron, no chris paul, and no Kyre Irving

last but not least I only see 2 defenders in your shit lineup, that team would give up 130 a night. good luck with your "dream" lineup.
