The wheels have fallen off the Cavs. They should bring in Chris Mihm, Smush Parker, and the Machine. :lol:

Knew he wanted to be the focal point, but did not expect him to want out while LBJ was there. Cavs are in shambles. Gilbert should have hired an experienced GM or AGM.

They don't have to move him though but it doesn't look nice.

Well the big fish that Ainge has been waiting for is available. Hit two birds with one stone - packedge your assets to get kyrie while avoiding paying overrated shorty it4 the max and brinks trucks he keeps wining about. Question is will cavs and lebron be down.

Some believe that Kyrie requesting this trade is because he wants to go home and play for the knicks or nets -he's from new jersey and his single dad still lives in his childhood home. Knicks have melo while nets have D'angelo.

Pacers fans are taking pencils and stabbing their eyes because they gave away PG before the perfect trade opportunity arises.

Wowowow; the next Marbury.

Knicks should trade Melo for Irving and Frye. Melo wanted to play for the Cavs. Irving wants to leave Lebron. Perfect match.

Danny probably somewhere offering a 2nd round pick to Griffen for Kyrie.

Kyrie for Melo, straight up 8-)

Kyrie is bff with Harrison Barnes and mavs need a star pg. They could put together a package of Dennis Smith Jr, Nerlens Noel and w.e Cavs want. Kyrie gets traded out of the conference to team with his bro. Two guys who were overshadowed by past championship teams joining forces to build something and play for an owner in Mark Cuban who broke up a 2011 title team so he could have the cap space to pursue stars who never arrived or just disappointed.

Talk about match made in Heaven.

Griffin was let go - cause Dan "cheapskate" Gilbert who owns Quicken Loans was too cheap to pay him but had no problem foreclosing homes of millions of Americans during the mortgage crisis. Hiking service fees and interest rates while pursuing expensive litigation on poor working class American families. Now he plays this ruse of rebuilding Detroit and schmoozing with Trump. Give me a break.

Oh, to be a fly on a wall at Lebron's house right now, the expletives must be legendary. I am so happy Kyrie beat Lebron to the punch. I also hope this is the first signal that Lebron will get dealt before or at the deadline this coming season. The Cavs need to get something in return for him this time.

I like Kyrie a bit more after hearing this news, someone had to stick it to the smug douche known as Lebron and who better than the guy who closed all the games for him. Looks like Lebron is left with the player he threw under the bus, K Love. Sounds like it will be a fun year for the Cavs, I can't wait.

As for Lebron, this is what you get when you won't commit to a team and make it obvious to everyone that you are ready to jump ship and try and cherry pick more titles. Kyrie decided he wasn't just going to be a pawn for Lebron to use and leave high and dry holding the bag when he bolts. I can't wait to hear the backhanded arrogance Lebron is going to give in response to this.

Yeah and with such a windfall - Knicks should just give out tickets to games for free and nyc should let everyone ride the subway for free too. And the city that never sleeps can be the city that dreams all day too.

Irving should go to LeBron on his knees thanking him for taking him for the ride in winning a championship, Irving is not going to win it by himself. The Cavs were outscored by 90 points overall when Irving was playing without LeBron last season. So, there is that.
