Why would the Pelicans do this? They just gave 9 figures to Holiday?

Well they used up all of their assets to win now with LBJ, so Kyrie knows they have no future once lbj bolts.

LeBron for Lonzo, Randle, and Lopez
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

I mean, I guess this explains the recent Derrick Rose interest considering Felder and Calderon are also on the roster, and I doubt Rose wants to come off the bench while he's still in his 20s.

So I guess the rumors of him to Phoenix had merit. I'm surprised they didn't do that deal if it was for Bledsoe and that #4 pick but I do think that means that Lebron might be leaving.

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

Jeremy (Chicago, IL)
Growing up, what NBA player did you idolize?
Kyrie Irving
Growing up, the NBA player I idolized was Chris Paul and Jason Kidd.

Milwaukee should give them a call

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.

This likely means Kyrie knows Bron is gone next year. And if Bron is gone, you can bet your ass that Kyrie doesn't want to stay in Cleveland post-Lebron. Kind of how a star didn't want to fill in MJ's shoes in Chicago for a couple years after Jordan retired.

I think he would be fun to watch in New York if he's the leading man.

I call b.s on this...Reports just came out that Lebron is blindsided by this and that Irving no longer wants to play with James anymore...I think this is ultimately both Kyries and Lebrons plan to Fk Dan Gilbert over..They know what they are doing

If Kyrie wants to leave to be the man I guess he knows LeBron isn't leaving at least.

Lebron won't accept any trade.


Well if that's the case and he ends up bolting the Cavs again in the offseason he would deserve criticism.

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