There doesn't seem to be a lot of new information in the article so perhaps he's just filling space, but I'm starting to get anxious/angry reading this garbage repeatedly:

Hopefully the front office has gauged what teams would offer.
Personally, I'd be happy w/ a return of Damian Lillard, or a top-4 pick in the 2014 draft... Perhaps a package of Kyrie & Tristan for Kevin Love? Could probably convince Kevin Love to re-up if the Cavs sign Kyle Lowry & Lance Stephenson this summer; OR traded for Rajon Rondo.

If this happens, I don't even know what I'll do.

He should at least give us a few more years. Even LeBron signed some semblance of an extension, and Kyrie Irving, as much as I love the guy, is not LeBron.

I'm sure the Cavs can find their way to the lottery without Kyrie just as well as they have with him.

I'm starting to view Kyrie as a great suplementary player who plays great if surrounded with good players. That means to methat it'd be a huge mistake to max him.

bingo.

I wasn't thrilled when the Cavaliers lost Terrell Brandon either, but life goes on.

I would not call it trolling. We all know this is likely. Would you want to play in Clevalnd for Brown if you were the top recruit at Duke and went number 1 in the draft overall? Really?

I doubt you'd get good value for him though. We will likely know more when he gives us the finger in the off season.

All I know is Gilbert better have a plan to get a front office that can recognize draftable talent since and not just a bunch of good old boys. We have no chance of attracting any FA's except those second tier guys who we have to overpay for that get lazy once they get here. Which realy sucks.

It's just curious because Windy essentially wrote the same article a month ago. Did a statement get reiterated by someone on Kyrie's "team" or is Windy just rehashing old rumors. My preference would be to get an alpha in here so Kyrie could be the and 1. However, I don't want to go through a Melo drama for the next two year either. Frankly he's not a franchise player and I'm not sure he's worth a Rose-level max contract.
