Not a route I want to go down either but they did just lock up Snell for 4 years so it's a fear of mine.

I'm guessing something built around Dragic/Winslow for Kyrie.

Tough decision, but I pull the trigger on that. You get three years of Kyrie, Thompson would be a good contributor in the post and defensively, and you get out under the Henson contract and a challenging situation with Parker.

Ok if only for Mallory's sake I'm playing with the trade machine with the big assumption that the Knicks are willing to trade Porzingis for Irving --- but that Gilbert is not willing to take on Noah's nasty deal vs keeping Love and going for a different win now package.

Bucks would be left with little more than Zinger + Giannis...but would we care?

There's nothing we can give them other than Middleton + that makes any sense for them. Parker has no value to them.

I want nothing to do with Kyrie personally, particularly if it costs Middleton. If it was Brogdon/Parker/Monroe I wouldn't be too mad, but that makes no sense for Cleveland.

What did Kyrie win until Lebron came back to Cleveland?

His request for a trade shows how much he cares about winning - absolutely nothing. He just wants to score more points. He stinks as a defender, and he ain't in it... to win it. I'd have zero interest in trading for him.

Kyrie on the Bucks would scare me.

He just isn't a PG.

And he's dumb enough to say he doesn't want to play with Lebron anymore.

We haven't seen anything like this since Irving's idol Kobe pulled it with Shaq.

Middleton would be an amazing fit with Lebron.

If we wanted Kyrie I bet we could get into the mix.

That scares me.

Without a doubt my biggest concern with Kyrie. He doesn't want someone to keep him in check, he wants to be hero ball.

My guess is something leaked that they were maybe going to move him in a the superstar shuffle and he caught wind of it. Fantastic talent, but my guess is he'd be more comfortable being a Russel Westbrook situation and be the big man on campus.

Kyrie wants out of Cleveland where he is the second favorite to win the NBA championship because apparently 19.7 field goal attempts per game isn't enough. Why would anybody think he would be happy here playing second fiddle to Giannis? He's given the list of teams he wants to go to and the Bucks aren't on it. This is not a guy we should want to bring in.

no interest in kyrie. whatever interest I might have had this trade request killed it.

raferfenix · Post #976 » by **raferfenix** » Fri Jul 21, 2017 9:09 pm

So the Derrick Rose to Cleveland talk is that much funnier now.

I don't know if Lebron would stand for young players from Phoenix though.

Middleton wins us games. That's fact.

Middleton is an ideal piece next to Giannis. Fact as well.

Any trade we do will need to involve any of Parker, Brogdon, expirings, and picks. Although I'm not sure exactly how much we can get for that.

He could think Earth was a pyramid for all I care if he helped us become a winning organization.

OK, I'd care a little.

Trade him for Westbrook.

I want to see Russ and LeBron play together.
