Let's keep it reality. Even if Kyrie stayed with Bron and they won 6 titles, Kyrie won't get credit for nan one of them. You guys keep saying

"Kyrie must not want to win if leaves LBJ"

"Kyrie can't lead a team"

Well even if he stays and continues to win titles with LBJ, his overall player ranking wouldn't rise, because he'll forever be seen as the sidekick. Its funny to me the same folks claiming Kyrie values "being the man" over winning as a sidekick, are the same ones who wouldn't raise his profile and all time rankings if he were to stay with LBJ. He might as well go to a team where he could chuck shots, get paid, and break some all-time scoring records.

:manny:

LBJ's legacy is pretty much set(he'll be regarded as 2nd best all time behind MJ when it's all said and done) Kyrie is still trying to build his. Y'all want every talented player to play sidekick and to be dependent upon LBJ, so you can blame them when LBJ's teams lose, and give LBJ ultimate credit when he wins.

Lemme ask y'all a question, where did you guys have Kyrie ranked amongst guards after Cleveland won in 2016?

Wherever nikkas need to be told on
I wouldn't be surprised if the Mavs push hard. They're getting overlooked but are also known to push hard for star players. They have a great coach there and I'm not sure they're down to tank for years to come. I think they can sell Kyrie on being the face of a Texas franchise :jbhmm:


Either way this isn't happening until next offseason. No way the Cavs trade Kyrie for the assets out there. There isn't anything out there that makes them better than they are now and they're chasing a ring. All the superstars are off the market. Next year when Bron leaves they can just get a flurry of assets for the future, or better yet hope Kyrie changes his mind.
By waiting a year, I think there'll be greater reluctance from smaller-market teams to take Kyrie one a one-year rental and to give up meaningful assets for the opportunity to do that.

It's a team game. Everybody who is on the team and makes a contribution toward a championship deserves "credit." Don't be goofy about this.

bron just posted this on instagram
:wow:



And people online and in the media seriously wondering why Kyrie don't wanna play with this dude :dahell:

Everytime anyone on that squad does anything that Bron perceives as some personal slight on his fragile ego he's straight to twitter, instagram, or the media to throw out this corny, thinly veiled "subliminal" trash to undermine his teammates and/or organization in any way he can :hhh:

He's been doing it for YEARS too, I can't believe Kyrie, K Love, and the rest of em tolerated and put up with it for so long as it is, shyt must be infuriating as a paid professional :scust:
