I'm sure if Bron committed to staying for the next 3 years, Kyrie would too. You think Kyrie is gonna let Bron leave his ass with an old af roster with horrible contracts? He's only 25. Isn't 26 officially "your prime"? He could get a good year in with Miami or NY developing chemistry with their all-star big men. After a summer of adding pieces since players want to play with Kyrie (surprisingly enough since he's ball-dominant) they could maybe contend in the East honestly once he's 26.


He's not an MVP player because a team with him as the best player will never win more than 40-45 games.

He's a great 2nd option, that is his best role. A PG who can't operate an offense, play defense and isn't willing to play off ball isn't winning much.


Dude. The marketing department wants to see you. Of course Kyrie is MVP material.

I don't understand what the Spurs could trade for him. They have nothing of value.

Lamarcus Aldridge?

LMAO.

Kyrie has no leverage. They can send him to the Orlando Magic if they want.

Doubt you'd get good value back for him.

I really don't know what's on his mind. The only way this is acceptable is if he knows Lebron is leaving 100%.

But the report states he no longer wants to play with Bron. Like wtf. That to me is completely idiotic.

People constantly take Lebron for granted and they get burned for doing so

Kyrie and bron have/had their differences initially but everything's been good for a while. If you re watch kyries finals loss post game interview it's all about how great bron is and how he wants to continue to play with and learn from him...


So what's happened between then and now I wonder because I think he was really genuine at the time.



Oh well at least we won one title. Looks like we'll be a laughing stock in a year again.


LeLakers is heading West, Kyrie does not want any part of Gilbert.

Kyries like my least favourite player but I wouldn't trash him for this. I don't think he wants to leave because he wants control of a team. There's much more going on behind the scenes.

Spurs would be great for him. He's like a way more talented tony Parker. Super low basketball iq. Pop would be great for him.

Time for Ainge to step up and offer mega picks for LBJ. Let Kyrie have the Cavs and they start a rebuild off right. You can't rebuild around Lebron, there isn't enough time. Kyrie plus a couple top 10 picks in the next draft is a good kick start. Then Boston is your W's answer in the east.

Why are you guys bringing up Miami?

We have nothing to offer Cleveland. I kind of don't want him here unless he's at sg next to a real pg. I do not trust him to create for others. No one is going anywhere, Cavs will figure it out. Maybe it's Love that gets moved when the smoke settles.

Or, and this is crazy, you could read the article which states why Kyrie wants to be traded and learn that it has nothing to do with Gilbert. But a lack of knowledge has never stopped people from forming opinions.

You really think Dan Gilbert's incompetence has nothing to do with this? Sure he might want to be a main piece or whatever, but i am positive Dan Gilbert has made it much easier for him to leave/request a trade


People are *positive* that Trump actually won the popular vote. Nothing I can do about that either.

No thanks. He wouldn't be "the man" here either, so he would pout his way off the team ASAP just like Andre Miller did to us.

So the Cavs would rather go for spite to give some team a chance to beat GS rather than get good assets in return? What is wrong with my fellow Eastern conference teams? Who out there actually wants to make an effort to improve the competitive position of your team?

Now I see why the Cavs are chasing Derrick Rose. Replace 1 me-first PG who has injury history with ANOTHER me-first PG with injury history. IT'S BRILLIANT!

Whoa - just saw this...remember a while back when spurs seemed to be clearing space for contracts. Maybe THIS is why. If so, who would Cleveland want from them that would be worth Kyrie.

Chris Paul would have been great too. All the moves that could have been made aren't ready done. Such a terrible time for all this
