Dragic and tj. Need a 3rd team for picks.

Honestly though, the Cavs can trade him anywhere and he can't do or say **** honestly.

Hell no! I wouldn't trade Dragic and Winslow for Kyrie, and I'm not that high on Winslow. We found a system that works or at least was working at the end of last season. Why is everyone in a hurry to break up this group? Give this group a chance to prove that they can keep winning at a high rate.


Winslow wasnt even a part of that group that did so well,

So its basically the same group that went 31-10 except Kyrie replacing Dragic + Bam, Olynik replacing Babbit and Okaro. (all upgrades)

Kyrie dropping 42 on the Celtics in Game 4. (no one on our team can do this)



Kyrie single handedly carrying Cleveland in a game where Lebron went 4/13 11pts 6 turnovers

Paste the url, highlight it, and then click the youtube button above the comment box.



It can't be the embedded version though, just the regular url.

Knowing the NBA, if Kyrie gets dealt and Lebron dips next year, they will probably get 3 #1 picks in the next 5-7 years.

I would never trade Whiteside for Kyrie. Scoring guards that dont play defense are easier to find then dominant two way centers.

I'm hopping that the Cav's don't trade him till FEB, so it gives us time to evaluate our team, & then we can decide what we want to do.

I actually think Cleveland would come away kinda nice with a package of Dragic, J Rich and TJ. gives them a great secondary playmaker plus the young versatile wing defenders they NEED that can also stretch the floor for Lebron.

Young core of Kyrie, Bam, Winslow, Mcgruder, Waiters is appealing and cheap for the next 3 years.

JJ and Hassan manning the paint. And if Wade comes back, that's a great squad for now and for the future.

First don't want KI's no defense having, me, me, me Hind end. He does not fit in with the Heat Family and play style. Second, sure as hell not giving up Whiteside to do it. Also we'd have to trade Waiters somewhere as KI doesn't like him. So under this situation we'd have to give up Whiteside, Dragic, and Waiters for Irving and whoever we could get for Waiters. Ugh, hell to the no no.

To win a Kyrie trade, we just need him to be traded to a chitty team like the Knicks or the western conference. Hopefully Cleveland doesn't get a great player back adn we can take them down! :nod:

The worst thing for Cleveland would be if Kyrie is traded. With Love and Kyrie, the Cavs have two all-stars they can build around. Most teams would trade their entire team away to have two all stars to build around.

If I was in the Cavs front office, I would be looking to do everything I could to keep Kyrie. Lebron already has one foot out the door, but Love and Kyrie have a couple years on their contract. I know Lebron has a no trade clause, but if the choice was trade away Kyrie and keep lebron for one more year, or keep Kyrie and trade Lebron to a team he would agree to go for whatever I could get, I would choose the latter.

Hope the hate builds in Cleveland and the team self-destructs.

Kyrie is a little better than Dragic and way younger. Kyrie for Dragic and Winslow straight up should get the trade done. Funny part is Kyrie and Waiters would be back together after having issues in Cleveland.

Kyrie is an enhanced, younger version of Dragic with proven PS experience. He is a very interesting choice but not for Dragic AND Whiteside. Dragic HAS to go for this to work but I'm hesitant giving away the likes of TJ or Winslow or JRich or a combination of two of them. Kyrie can't and probably never will play competent defense consistently and his smaller size hurts him in the long run. Fantastic player but I KNOW we can do better for the next franchise talent.

Hell no I wouldn't. Kyrie will suck if he has injury problems, and he's already had injury problems in his career.
