Murray, Chandler, Nelson, Faried and 1 first round pick (2018)


He has an opt-out after 2018/19. Doesn't change the equation, just a FYI.

Teague and Wiggins would be a good return for Cleveland and a nice retool for Minnie. Kind of a win win.

He cares more about his touches and stats than winning.

At this speed Jose Calderon will make the Eastern All Stars team next year!

First team that came to my mind was the Knicks - and that was before I even saw it on his list. Indiana is a good one too. If he wants to get attention, he really, really should stay in the East, but I guess it's not his decision where he goes, is it?

Look what Kevin Durant's mentally fragile self has done to the league. Anyone coming out the East is getting swept. Congratulations Adam Silver and NBA fans everywhere.

Wouldn't be the focal point though. Isn't that why he wants to leave?

A Kemba/Kyrie switch could be a good start for discussions...Kemba is still on a cheap contract

That Wolves team has zero chance against the Warriors. Kyrie is a poor defender, KAT is very lousy, and Wiggins is one of the worst in the league. The Warriors would have the better head to head in each scenario for this next season (Curry>Kyrie,Klay>Wiggins,KD>Butler,Draymond>KAT).

Why are folks surprised? The Cavs are not a well-run franchise, just a ridiculously lucky one. They squandered LeBron's first tenure. They hired and fired the same head coach -- *twice*. Their owner tried his hardest to burn bridges with the best player of his generation. They blew a #1 overall pick. They hired a HC and fired him midway through the season (at some point, they had to be paying 3 HC salaries at once, right?). They let their GM twist in the wind, only to fire him after a number of attractive job openings were filled.

GS' owners and front office may be arrogant and insufferable, but they're also darn good at their jobs. CLE is just insanely lucky. But for the fact that they a) fell butt-backwards into 3 #1s in 4 years as Miami aged out of their championship window, and b) happen to be located in LeBron's backyard, they'd be a treadmill team like so many others. It's no surprised that, despite being dealt an awesome hand, it appears that they'll only eke out one chip from both LeBron eras. Amazing.
Always remember, my friend: the world will change again. And you may have to come back through everywhere you've been.

I really want him to get traded to MIL with Delladova going back to CLE to take his starting spot

somehow this would delight me

I know but seems like he wants to go there.

Yeah, would have to be done after Dec 15.
