Windhorst: Kyrie Irving asked to be traded last week (Spurs, Heat, Wolves, Knicks) Updt pg. 30

[ItsThatEasy]

Kyrie idolized Jason Kidd growing up makes sense since he is a New Jersey native

I've never heard this before...

Thanks man.

Wouldn't have guessed that in a million years lol

[tidho]

I think a trade with the sixers would be good. Fultz, Okafor, filler for Kyrie makes some sense.

don't need filler, 76ers are under the cap and Cleveland wouldn't want the contracts

not enough value in my opinion though

[SmartWentCrazy]

Any chance the Cavs give Kyrie his own team by dealing LeBron instead? With the rumors and their contracts, it may actually make sense...

[PierceFan4ever]

If I'm Boston I'd at least consider offering IT and a Nets pick.

Kyrie is good but he's not that good to give up that.

[bmurph128]

Lol wtf..

Kyrie is my favorite player...really hope this somehow isn't true.


But...if the Cavs learned this last week, and were talking to Rose AFTER that.................

[username_taken]

Calling it right now, a Kyrie for IT swap. Boston will throw in a draft pick as well. Cleveland gets to clear up cap space and start their rebuild and get a pick, while Boston gets a better version of IT but younger and is under contract for an extra year compared to IT so they wont have to break the bank for an extra year. I know this isnt going to happen, but dammit I want to see Kyrie team up with Tatum haha.

As fun as this scenario would be, there's no way for Boston to add a salary as large as Kyrie's at this point without including Horford, which is not a realistic move for anyone.

Kyrie to miami, leave it to pat riley to get it done tbh

Given IT's contract status (imminent max), I would actually want more than that.

We'd need more to make the salary match anyway.

[Dupp]

Smfh we could have had pg or butler now who are we gonna get for Kyrie?

Gilbert should have let griffin trade him when we had some good returns incoming

[Seabass11]

Wow...Deeply upset but sort of excited about the possibilities.

I wonder if the Cavs could swindle a Melo + Rose (SnT) for Kyrie and then sign Wade on a buyout...is 3/4 a banana enough to kep Bron here past next year?

Also I remember Conley + Gasol for Kyrie being brought up awhile ago if Memphis was trying to rebuild (purely conjecture). Wonder if they would go for something like that

[LookToShoot]

And you say the Knicks are dysfunctional? lol the Cavs are full of drama, a blown out soap opera.

Give the Knicks Irving and Shumpert for Noah and Lee. Seems fair to me.

[bmurph128]

I suppose the most logical thing is Kyrie for Melo and some other stuff.

Kyrie/Frye/Shumpert for Melo/O'Quinn/Lee - and probably multiple first round picks.

[queridiculo]

How can you guys even blame Gilbert? This all Lebron's doing.

Donald Trump on Dan Gilbert: “A great friend of mine, a huge supporter”

Gasol and Conley have nearly triple the yearly salary of Kyrie. That just wouldn't be possible.

[europeanfan]

Kyrie for Cousins would be a fun experiment to watch.

Not many trades that make sense tbh.

[Hello Brooklyn]

Boston needs to trade for LeBron.

IDK how to make the contracts work but throw in either Hayward or Horford plus the Nets pick.

IT, LeBron, Horford/Hayward, Taytum, Brown.

That's the 2nd best team in the league and would do better against the Warriors than the Cavs did.

[TheSunGod]

If you're Phoenix is Booker untouchable? I'd love to see him playing next to Lebron

Untouchable. Even with all the possible and likely defensive inefficiencies, they'll want an Irving+Booker backcourt.

Melo/Wade/Rose vs Kyrie

Those 3 will be awful and they're all washed up.

That's not true, Thomas/Crowder/and one of their 2nd round guys for Kyrie is a legal trade.

Oh no this is the Terry Rozier situation again.
IT is expiring, 29 and 5'9". Nets pick is a (slight) gamble. Kyrie Irving is a guarenteed star who's crazy young.
