Kyrie Irving has asked the Cavs to trade him; Lebron blindsided by trade request

[Swagnificent]

I love Kyrie man. He's a real nikka.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Makes perfect sense. They ain't winning with him next year, Lebron going after that, Cavs proved all offseason they a horrible organization...why not leave?

The craziest part though...how much does this bring up in GIlbert's mind that they consider trading Lebron?

You really want to be stuck in 2018 with no one of value and no cap space....and no free agents who would want to come to Cleveland even if you did have cap space?

Gilbert should chase players now while he still has assets or the Cavs might as well fold in 2018.

Kyrie for KP.
Lebron/JR for McCollum and Turner.

Turner
McCollum
KP

They won't win anything, but at least they'll still be a playoff team, maybe even make the 2nd round.

You smoking crack if you think the Knicks would trade Kp for Kyrie

 

[David_TheMan]

Honestly that would be the ideal spot for him. They need a guy who can create his own shot in the half court in the worst way.

Kyrie is a team killer, JKidd doesn't need a 2 guard masquarading as a PG who is going to fukk up everyone elses development.

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

Yea he was young that's going be the default plea cop I already know. How has his game evolved since then?
Better defender? Better playmaker?
Where the fukk was a core of Kyrie, Dion, Tristan, and Wiggins going?!?! Let me know

But when Lebron got bounced out the playoffs/finals, it was because he was young
nikkas so damn torn up inside and short sighted for this nikka Lebron mayne , all deductive reasoning and logic goes out the window to defend dude
It has to be really bad if a nikka hits the game winning finals shot and was ready to bounce immediately..
nikka probably was telling all kinds of secrets to KD, Dray and Killa Klay during the olympics about Lebron
The nikka just don't like him

Dumb ass. Bucks biggest weakness is in the half court they got no one that can get buckets. That is what Kyrie specializes at. He would be perfect next to Giannis. Perfect compliment.

Jabari comes back that will be fixed and Kyrie probably implodes a team with his selfishness and ball hogging.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Love kyrie but he's not no damn top 10 player Maybe top 20 which means he's still an elite player in this league. Now as a pure scorer he's top 10.

...he's not. You saw how trash the Cavs were when Lebron sat on the bench while Kyrie played, right? In the Finals, they were getting outscored by double digits in the span of 2 or 3 minutes.

Don't get me wrong, there may not be a better scorer at the rim than Irving. But other than score what does he do well?

So who else is better than Kyrie right now???

 

[Truefan31]

Damn if Minny could somehow keep its core and add Irving:

Kyrie, Jimmy, Wiggins, KAT. Pretty damn good. Minny needs some 3 pt shooting too.

 

[Hypris]

I can understand if a player leaves his team for more money or leaves for more winning but Kyrie is already in a situation where he gets both. Automatic trips to the finals and Cavs can offer him a super max in the future. The fact that he wants a trade in the middle of his contract is alarming. Something must really be going on behind the scenes.

Some people say he's worried about Lebron leaving. Other people are saying he just wants to get away from Lebron's shadow. No matter what the real reason is, any team trading for him should be careful and not give up too much. He can leave in 2 years and he's shown that money and winning isn't enough to keep him.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

I thought it was because he was going up against the prime Duncan-Parker-Ginobli-Pops Spurs when his 2nd-best player was Boobie Gibson.

But either way, how you comparing getting bounced in the Finals to needing a telescope to see .500?

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

So who else is better than Kyrie right now???

Bron
Durant
Curry
Kahwi
Harden
Westbrook
Embiid
AD
Giannis
PG
Wall
KAT
CP3
Boogie
Lillard
Blake
Klay
Off the top of my head.Kyrie still elite and you can make a case for him against a couple guys on the list. He's in the 15-20 range.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

He averages 7 assists a game man. 7 assists.

Kyrie averages 6 while playing Bron ball 3/4ths of the game.... but Kyrie can't pass according to Bronsexuals
