Poll: What is the absolute most you wold trade for Kyrie? 

Post#1 » by xsaberx » Sat Jul 22, 2017 1:24 pm

The basic premise is the offer of Melo, Lee & O'Quinn

Lee is offered as an upgrade swap for Shumpert if they want (we will of course flip Shump for a Dudley or Coletrane and keep him away)

O'Quinn gives them a big in case they want to move Love for whomever (Wade, Bledsoe, etc)

Fry would be sent back to the Knicks to make salaries match

2 top 5 protected firsts not Willy or Frank.Take our chance at the playoffs with a young roster (average age if we make this deal would be 25 making us one of the 5 youngest teams in the league).

Hey there - I very mildly changed the poll to include your suggestion - your vote should be where you wanted it

I'm sure no one else's vote should be affected, but anyone who voted can check to make sure

would rather give up first round picks than ntilikina. but i understand if we do have to trade frank to make it work. that being said including Frank shouldnt be a deal breaker for Phoenix(if we are going accoriding to the latest rumored trade). Frank is probably a future 2-guard and they already have booker, they might actually prefer draft picks.

Ehh. I think we'll blow it. The fact that there's rumored to be a 3rd team in what should be an easy trade is enough to make me second guess.

Eh. I don't think so.

If Melo goes to CLE, Love can't stay. You can't start all 3 together.

My OG idea was for CLE to flip Love to PHX for Warren/Bledsoe

Anthony, Lee, O'Quinn, and a Top 10 protected pick. And even then I would be reluctant.

Frankly, I don't want him. I'd rather tank. Or be the facilitator in a deal that squeezes a pick out of someone.

But if we did make the trade, I think Hernangomez would be my limit.

PHX ain't getting older though. All the rumors have them taking Frank from us which is just mindblowingly bad. He was a top 10 pick in a deep draft.

E, I'm highkey worried that our FO is too stupid to realize that Frank and Kyrie can play off each other. Like I genuinely think that they don't realize they have complimentary skill sets that need to be together.

I know you love Willy.. I like him a lot too. But for Kyrie Irving at 25 years old? Mannnnn

I think another avenue (and I might get mob lynched for suggesting this) is taking on long-term salary so we don't have to give up as many assets. so means that taking on tyson chandler or Brandon Knights contract.

If we mortgage our future and include picks, this franchise is always going to be perennial trash.

Yep but Frank+Kyrie is a great combo and Willy+KP is also a great combo. Hope we can get one combo and keep the other. I don't want to have no C and have to find one after already having one.

Melo Lee KOQ? That's 43 million in payroll...LOL...WTF?

Melo and unprotected 2019. Maybe Billy as much as that kills me to do. That's all. If not. Trade Melo and draft top 5 next year.
