We should praise something like this .. he's literally going the harder route to see his true potential as a number 1

Kind of like what Kobe did.. and then Kobe went and won with a different cast while still in his prime .. that is special , not a lot of guys in sports have done that

I guess anything knicks related kyrie still wants porzingis there.. secondary packages would get trumped

Kyrie has that kobe DNA thats why he was the one to close game 7 out for the cavs. He is always talking to kobe too.

Kobe told him to do this

PHX has no reason to trade away a rookie who looks like he will be equally impactful as Kyrie if not more (in 3-4 years of course) for 2 years of Kyrie. The only teams that should make a move for him are playoff/contenders that have a need for iso scoring and can hide him on defense. Spurs make some sense that way.

Spurs don't have the ammo to make it happen unless they find a third team, and that team is willing to trade for Aldridge or something.

I remember Kobe demanding a trade when he tried to go it on his own.

I remember LeBron leaving when he played with a better supporting cast than smush and kwame. Please.

could the cavs essentially blow it up? klove traded too?

I can't think of a better match than Kyrie Irving and and James Dolan. Even better than Rose and Dolan, and that was awesome.

SO perfect that NYK is on his list

Only reason he didn't is because he was under contract. He was under that contract because he wanted to be "the guy".

Kyrie on the Spurs would be insane but they have no pieces (other than Kawhii) that Cavs would want.

Wolves make most sense.

True forgot about that, the wolves look much better now

I agree I guess, but team that actually has young assets who could turn into decent 2nd/3rd options who are two way players probably are better served on holding onto said assets then giving anything up for a marginal "star" player. Kyrie has a cute game but that is about it. If you want a name, then yah trade for him... but if you want to actually win... wrong guy to go after. But again, riding on LBJ's awesomeness has served his brand name well. Cavs should be able to recoup more value then they deserve for him.

Exactly this. We could offer something like LMA green and a pick but I doubt he's even moved this offseason

Utah, Boston, Clips, Denver. Those are the first teams what come to my mind.

He cares more about his touches and stats than winning.

He's just trying to be the 2nd best player on a different team

how does Minny get Kyrie while keeping their big 3 intact though?
