It's really not that funny to quote fake news sources.

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 incompetence of letting the griffin thing go on to the trade deadline and then letting him go while he was in the middle of many trade talks is off the charts. Completely moronic to not have it sorted one way or the other by then.

We could have had a great team. We had good deals for Kyrie and now we won't get anything worthwhile everyone's been traded already.

The Pacers jobbed us. They pulled out at the last the minute. They then took less from OKC. It had nothing to do with Griffin & everything to do with not wanting to see PG in a Cavs jersey next to LBJ.

Favors/Rubio for Irving would be insane for the Jazz. Would the Cavs think Favors and Rubio is enough?

I doubt it. Favors would be a FA next year. I think Utah would have to throw in a pick at least.

Favors is an ideal fit at 5 for the Cavs, IMO. He protects the rim, runs the PnR, rebounds and can space out to 18 feet. He can play 4 and 5.

Thompson, Favors, Love and LeBron at the 4/5 is fantastic.

Hood would have to be included to give them a scoring threat on the wing IMO.

Too much for the Jazz. They won't do Favors/Rubio/Hood for Irving. Cavs would have to throw in a sweetener.

Griffin let go, Lebron blindsided and disappointed. Kyrie wants out, Lebron blindsided and disappointed.

Kyrie for Bledsoe and Josh Jackson makes sense. Cavs could flip Jackson or just keep him to start a re-build once LeBron leaves.

Bledsoe and smaller parts would never work for Cleveland.

I'd keep Jackson tbh. Bledsoe/Jackson/James/Love/Thompson is a better roster than before imo. 3pt% would be an issue, but a huge upgrade defensively.

Only package I want from PHO if we're moving Kyrie, Jackson/Chriss/2018 MIA 1st/2018 PHO 1st (Top 8 protected) gets it done for me.

I don't want Bledsoe and another Klutch player, if LBJ is out, better we start selling off pieces and acquiring a cache of picks and youth for the future.

They're probably a 50 win team. They've got the defense covered, they just need more scoring but like I said, without Rubio it'd be difficult for them to make a move and they just signed Teague.

LeBron is leaving for sure if that is true

If it's a lifestyle choice then Utah would be a dark horse.

eh. Wolves have plenty of scoring. Spacing is the biggest issue, but they are going to score a **** ton next year.

Kyrie and Waiters co-existing? I don't know...

Not really interested in throwing away our youth and chemistry for two years of Kyrie that won't really lead to anything. We'd still have the issue of Tyler Johnson's contract jumping up to 19 million next summer.

Really? If I'm the cavs this is a change to upgrade the roster and win a championship this year. LeBron won't leave if they win it all this year. Giving up now seems premature.

Phoenix makes the most sense, and I also think this should be a good opportunity for Cleveland to dump a bad contract or two if possible.

Phoenix gets: JR Smith Kyrie Irving
Cleveland gets: Tyson Chandler, Eric Bledsoe, Miami's 2018 pick

If he wants to go to Minnesota or the Spurs, than this can't be about being "the man". He knows Bron is leaving and wants to get out now since the Cavs FO is a ****
