Gilbert firing Griffin right at the start of the offseason was a brilllant idea, Knicks-esque you could say.

He wants his own team but his preferred destination are the Spurs where another established star already plays? The heck...

I just hope my Magic doesn't trade for him. EP will have more impact on the court by next year.

Sometimes having an owners with a dickish streak comes in handy. I strongly suspect this might be one of those times. Kyrie isn't going anywhere this season unless there's an issue in N.O. or OKC.

The first 3 make sense. I know Kyrie has tremendous respect for Riley, plus he probably would love living in Miami. New York makes sense because he loves playing on the big stage and him and KP would be a pretty fun young duo to watch. I also think he would fit great with SA. Kawhi isnt really a ball dominant player and I think Kyrie would definitely buy into whatever Pop asks. Minny not so much because they already have Teague.

Yeah - but that could be because their entire offense is geared around LeBron and they have no idea how to play as a team w/o him on the floor. Maybe Kyrie doesn't like this and wants to be somewhere where things aren't that way so he can grow his career and prove himself.

Kyrie on the Jazz would be obscene.

He would have length and defense all around him and licence to bomb.

If I'm the Jazz, I'm picking up the phone with Favors, Hood, Rubio and as many picks as Cavs want. It may well not get the deal done but it's worth a shot.

Kawhi.

Haha, in all seriousness though...in Minnesota they have Butler and KAT. Kawhi.

Seems odd that he would cite wanting to be "the man", but then be willing to go to two teams where he wouldn't be "the man".

It'd be awkward to trade him to Miami, which opens the door for a Melo trade I guess.

Wonder if Minnesota had kept Rubio they could have used that and maybe picks for Irving. It would have solved Minnesota's perimeter shooting.

New York doesn't have the players to make a trade unless its for Anthony, and if the Knicks are getting Irving, they'd want to keep Anthony.

Spurs have Aldridge and that's it.

When your offense and coaching is centered around one player, that's what happens.

When LeBron sat, I don't remember seeing a screen play with Kyrie and Love. There's no excuse for that. Just pure confusion when LeBron sat.

LOL at the Heat being on that list. Something is very wrong with a story that has Kyrie wanting to join back up with Waiters.

Homer glasses aside, Kyrie is feeding Porzingis and WillyG for P'nRs all day if that happened! :lol:

Not many trades that make sense tbh.

Coupled with a Tristan Thompson for a guard trade (tough to trade bigs for small these days), this could make sense. Maybe Tristan Thompson and a 1st rounder for Bledsoe? Or keep Thompson, commit to playing big all the time with Lebron at the 3 (35 minutes each for Love and Boogie and 26 for Thompson is your big man minutes covered) and find a Shumpert + 1st rounder for a better scoring guard deal.

Cleveland basketball is dead after this. Zero free agents will want to play there ever. No more LeBron to Miami food stamp #1 picks gifted from the league. Hometown potential GOAT at the end of the road. Glad to see they got to experience a title at least
