Kyrie Irving has requested a trade. Do we have a shot?

I bet Chicago and Indiana are killing themselves right now! 8-)

I wish.

I'd do this plus multiple firsts. (probably not enough)

http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y9jlgs2x I want no part of Kevin Love

Kyrie/Mack
Shumpert/Hezonja
Simmons/MGH
Isaac/Frye (expiring)
Vuc/Biz

Payton/Caledron
Fournier/JR Smith
James/Korver
Love/AG
Thompson/Tavares

Realistically probably not without including some 1st.

I'd offer something like Payton vuc Gordon.

What have we got that they'd want. AG and who else?

Trade anyone/everyone but Isaac, Gordan, Simmons, id even give up our first next year.

If the story is true, then I think it's a bad move on Irving's part.

You're a young star playing next to one of the greatest players in NBA history. Continue to grow, continue to learn. Milk this opportunity for as long as you can.

(...And LeBron might be leaving after this season, anyways.)

Elf + Vooch would tear it up in Cleveland and throw in a first.

AG, Payton, Vuc, 2018 1st.? Does that beat Bledsoe and Jackson and possibly Chriss? That's what they're talking about on the radio.

Elf Fournier and Gordon for kyrie

fateis007 · Post #11 » by **fateis007** » Fri Jul 21, 2017 8:09 pm

I think Payton - Fournier - Vooch is good value. 2 good contracts, 1 still on rookie contract. All starting caliber.

Shady Franchise · Post #12 » by **Shady Franchise** » Fri Jul 21, 2017 8:12 pm

Interesting enough Ramona Shelburne just name dropped Orlando as a team with good young assets to trade for Kyrie!! 710 ESPN also mentioned Bledsoe/Jackson package for Irvine.

Probably a PG, unless they really sign Rose. Otherwise Payton will do.

Cavs hang up if Gordon is not part of the trade.

You're kidding yourself about all starting caliber players. We've all already discussed how Fournier would be ideal as a 6th man on a playoff team, and the jury is still out on Payton being a legit starter in this league. You need to include an asset such as Gordon AND/OR a future 1st. It's not like Kyrie is expiring.

Elf and AG

Get it done Trader John

Cammo101 · Post #16 » by **Cammo101** » Fri Jul 21, 2017 8:14 pm

This is exactly the player Orlando needs to target. I'd make pretty much any combination of players available except Isaac. Elf, Gordon, Vuc, Fournier, Hezonja, Ross...

kyrie with a bad team is bad, we've seen it. therefore, dumping off every guy with value for him is bad. hold your horses a little guys.

If you trade Gordon, Elf, Fournier, and Hezonja for Kyrie, you are left with...

Kyrie/Mack
Ross
Simmons
Isaac
Vuc/Biz

In the East, that is a pretty good team going forward.

no it's not.

Fournier would be good for them as it would give them shooting off the bench. DJ would give them a point guard but they'd probably want EP (who I wouldn't want to let go as he's my favourite player on the team). Maybe give them Biz or Vuc?
