Little Chad probably 15 popping molly and shrooms and kicking his mom out the house so he can smash her coworker right now he ain't worried bout no Kyrie :rudy:
Little Chad lives in Cleveland and probably lives and breathes the Cavs and Browns. Trust me, kinfolk. Cleveland fans I know are hurt by this.

Real shyt, if Bron is truly bout it, just say fukk it and sign for what? A nice 4-5 yr deal with Cleveland. And work with what you have. Get rid of Kyrie for someone young with potential and a pick. Maybe make some noise again for real in a couple years with Bron the wise old man.

Kyrie didn't want to deal with LeBron's passive aggressive behavior this season and then have to hear this nikka taking subliminal shots once he leaves. I don't blame him. He's just getting in front of the shyt show. The media wants every teammate of LeBron to thank that nikka for giving them the opportunity to play alongside him and he probably believes that shyt too. Plus that team is horribly constructed.

Couple of criticisms though. Kyrie giving Gilbert his preferred destinations is asinine. They're going to send that nikka's contract to the highest bidder and call it a day. As elite as Kyrie is on offense, he's fairly bad at defense. He's Iversonian at times, which can be a hindrance to the flow of the offense. Also, whomever Cleveland (potentially) trades with, they're going to ask for a strong package. He could possibly be in the same situation he was in pre-LeBron but i'm guessing he wants to get away from that Cleveland ownership. Knicks aren't great from an ownership perspective either, but NYC >>>>>> Cleveland.

LeBron style is "conducive to winning" yet he is 1-2 vs TD, 1-2 vs Curry, 0-1 vs Dirk, and 1-1 vs KD. :camby:

Imagine if he actually had to play Kobe in the finals:picard:

I mean cotdamn 3 finals MVPs went to other SFs when Bron is supposedly the greatest SF of all time

I mean Kyrie's camp probably said those places to them in confidence it wouldn't get leaked like that. I'd assume. No doubt the Cavs will take whatever is best for them. But think about it. At least Kyrie is telling them now instead of in FA in two years where they would get nothing for him leaving. And he DID hit the biggest shot in franchise history and help deliver a ring. If he's not happy, why not at least see if something mutually beneficial could be figured out? No reason to have a bad public split if it could be avoided.

I dunno. Doesn't seem like Kyrie wanted this to get out like this. When's that kinda shyt ever been his style? Dude doesn't wanna be Bron's sidekick anymore and I don't truly blame him. At least he is letting them attempt to get something in return.

Damn even lebrons banana boat buddy don't wanna play with him. That's not a good look.
What's up with that for reals? Why doesn't he want to go to Cleveland and play with this BFF? Get to the playoffs, the Eastern Conference Finals, and more than likely the Finals. He'll could fukk around and potentially repair his image and look like a winning type player all over again. Its sad the way everybody talks greasy about Melo these days. I just want to see him on a winning team and winning the public over again. Its like he just simply accepts whatever his career is at the moment. Other stars would try to change that negative narrative in a heartbeat. Melo just rolls with it.:francis:

It took Durant joining a 73 win team to finally beat Cleveland. What are you talkin' about:gucci:

You typically want to get a star's approval before trading him. It's just bad business to be spiteful because you have to deal with these agents in the future.

Kyrie's team didn't like that he was deeply involved in trade rumors in June. Cavs literally had a deal in the table with the suns/pacers to move him
