Kyrie grew up idolizing Kobe and wanted his own team just like Kobe did.

It's not hard to see why this happened.

The league needs to step in. I'd honestly rather he go to Boston then get sent West and make the conference even weaker.


Me too, though I'm biased :lol:

I think this likely means Lebron is leaving. Kyrie doesn't want his first team as the man to be a post-Bron Cavs. Would likely want to start again elsewhere in the East.

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

I imagine Gary Harris would have to be involved, but that's an interesting one. Mudiay, Harris, Chandler. Something like that.

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.

Doesn't work financially. C's don't have any disposible contracts atm.

His entertaining style of play will be good fit for teams with poor attendance and not in a position to win.

Then he would have waited till LeBron left to request a trade.

Yeah - that was the biggest shocker IMO. This is just really sad if true.

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

But the Cavs FO can't be bullied into making a move by him. Kyrie is too valuable.

This changes nothing in terms of trading him. Pretty much untouchable. Only if you're blown away do you trade him.
