I wish they could have done that... kyrie needs to know his limits...dude seems to forget he only 6'2.. without a system.. u will hardly dominate in the NBA... too easy to defend... too bad Jimmy got shipped first

LOL I love Kyrie Irving to death but he's a 1-dimensional scorer. He can't offer you much else besides his ability to get buckets. He's not a good defender, he has little court vision, isn't going to grab you rebounds, and on top of all that he's undersized. It's why he's had 0 accomplishments or post-season success prior to LeBron and will likely have 0 AFTER if he seriously ends up on a squad like the Knicks.
Most of the casual fans don't know anything about Kyrie besides the fact that he hit that Game 7 shot and they think that's enough to prove he can lead a team.
Yall act like Kyrie had been in the league for a decade or some shyt. The main reason he's had no previous post season success is because the Cavs put a bum ass team around him and gave him two terrible ass coaches.
I commend him for being proactive. This is certainly smart if Bron is being non-committal and the FO is looking so shaky. However, this idea that he was some victim that didn't benefit from Bron's presence or that had it worse than any other number 2 throughout history is laughable. There are pros and cons. No he doesn't get the same props Bron gets, he's also not as good or impactful. He has still gotten his props and had his profile raised substantially. On the flipside his every struggle isn't parsed to death and the team struggles aren't put on him. Haven't heard much about his finals record or how many rings he needs.
CLE FO has made it's share of
moves but you can't knock them for playing for right now. If you have chance to win now you go for it. The future should be just fine if Kyrie and Love are what folks stay purporting them to be. We can't call this a superteam and then act like 2/3 of the big 3 isn't enough to build on in the future.
They built the team around kyrie before lebron came back and realized fukk this experiment get lebron back versus giving kyrie his chance

No they are not, stop lying to yourselfYou realize if they do trade kyrie its gonna make them a better team with more depth cuz of the return right?
At best the celtics will lose at home by 20 instead of 40 with kyrie gone
Kyrie locked up long term
If they package trade kyrie for bledsoe/jackson and sign rose that team going 6-7 with gsw
How?
They drafted Dion Waiters, Tyler Zeller and Anthony Bennett.
Traded for Luke Walton
Signed Andrew Bynum to a 2 year deal, then traded him for run down Luol Deng.
They hired Griffin a few months before Bron got back.
Things started looking up because they had Wiggins, had a coach in Blatt that was praised for his offense based on ball movement and then Bron joined the team and shifted everything.

Okay...so you've had a day to stew on this. What do you do going forward.
1. Trade Kyrie to Boston.
Tell Boston you'll give them Kyrie and Tristan Thompson for Isaiah Thomas and one of those 1st rounders they've got. IT has an expiring contract, so if it doesn't work out you don't have to re-up and you still have
a star scoring guard. Getting TT out of there after he no showed in the Playoffs is just a bonus.
2. Trade Kyrie to Indiana.
Why? Fucc him, that's why. lol
He wants to be a star, let him be a star in a wasteland like PG was.
3. Trade LeBron...to the Clippers.
Why? Hell, he's getting old and to show him this is your team. Especially if you wanna keep Kyrie
and build around him. He doesn't have a no-trade clause...and if LeBron wants to play in L.A., well here he goes! He might be with the chit.
4. Nothing. Kyrie doesn't wanna play for you? Tough titties. Contract.

What's the Cavs record when Kyrie plays and LeBron sits?
How have the Cavs fared in the last 2 Finals when LeBron sat on the bench and Kyrie had to carry the offense?
nikkas in for a RUDE awakening if Kyrie gets his own team.
