So like... sit out the year if they didn't trade for Harden? Or just sit out in general for political/person reasons?

Like does this move mean he is more likely to come back now?

I wouldn't say no to Allen, but I'd prefer us to use that TPE on a wing rather than a big. I believe TT, Theis, Rob Williams is good enough in that position.


I think "using" it on Allen would create another TPE, right?

Our trio is good enough but only RWIII really fits the timeline, and he's got some injury concerns. With Allen and Timelord we'd be set for true bigs.

Are you sure? Is it going to be a 7 year run of sheer dominance?

Kyrie is the definition of toxic. Never underestimate him.

If this report is true, it is going to be quite fun when we find out Kyrie wasn’t consulted, or even notified about the trade.

He is more interested in the world at large that the NBA. Think he could try to pull a Maya Moore

Kyrie (if he plays)
Harden
Harris
KD
DAJ

probably worst defensive team we have seen this year and the wizards still play games.

Bench of Timathay, Jeff Green and Landry shamett......
1 center/pf on the roster at this time

If kyrie doesn't play, they are a 4th seed.

What the hell does "Kyrie is willing to sit out the year if need be" mean?

What is the need? Is his reason for sitting out known? At first I thought it was related to politics/BLM, but it since seems to have become about his sister having a party with no masks, or maybe he's mad about not being consulted re: Steve Nash? How can you prove a point by sitting out if no one knows what point you're making?

I’ll believe kyrie steps away when I see it...the guys been disinterested in the regular season since we had him. In the playoffs or later in the year he’ll play and be engaged and bc they still have harden and KD they’ll be just fine

LOL, Cleveland is now leading the league in centers who can't stretch the floor. Can an Andre Drummond buyout be far behind?

People should stop making sense of whatever Kyrie says or does. That's my suggestion.

You are hungry because you need to eat food.

Irving is angry because he is a petulant, self-absorbed, immature ass-clown.

It doesn't take a lot to piss Boogie off.

Kyrie doesn't like Steve Nash so he's sitting out for the year? I must have missed something.

Can the Celtics use the TPE for Drummond? I don't see the Cavs parting with Allen.
