100% certain he wants to know what they are doing to figure out if he can be the third team in the trade.

:lol:

I mean Lowry plays extremely well off ball. Both Kyrie and Demar dont play a lick of defense and are iso-scorers. There's no balance in that backcourt.

Like I said, the biggest issue would be size with such a small backcourt. Though Lowry is a good defender and rebounder to make up for it.

I think it would be more newsworthy if a GM didn't call to check in on the Kyrie situation.

Makes no sense because we can't move lowry, Demar is not going anywhere and also where do you play kyrie ? As SG and move demar to SF ? My guess would we're offering a package inculding JV, fred and picks.

Summary: Raps called Cavs, asked if they wanted JV, Cavs said they didn't, Raps mention Blackberry Passport is on and are evaluating, call finishes.

I don't blame him I mean what is he supposed to do? I think Kyrie is going to cost a team more than he's worth. I think The Cavs think his value is going to be Lowry plus Powell and Poeltl and OG. Or DeRozan plus Lowry for Irving, Shumpert and Smith.

At the end of the day I think Irving ends up in San Antonio or Phoenix

I KNOW it's not going to happen but ..........

Kyrie for JV, OG and Delon works ... and in a lot of ways, makes sense for Cleveland.
I'd attach a first round pick.


Then you have a 2 PG backcourt


You could play some killer small ball with

Kyrie / Lowry / Norm / Demar / Ibaka

Or more traditional with

Lowry / Kyrie / Demar / Ibaka / Bebe or Jacob

Spread the floor with

Lowry / Kyrie / Norm / Miles / Ibaka

kyrie + lowry + demar - only one issue...only one basketball is allowed on the court during game play.

Kyrie and DeMar would be unstoppable in the playoffs. Make the trade now and shut down everyone to tank a year and add RJ Barrett or Michael Porter Jr.

Kyrie
DeRozan
Powell
Barrett/Porter
Ibaka
