thxfrthmmrs Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I think this is one of the biggest surprises we've seen in the NBA for a while, and could certainly be the biggest breakup since Shaq and Kobe if Kyrie no longer wants to play with Lebron. Looks like Cleveland is pretty much done after next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Damn, butler + Kyrie + a signee and we'd be going somewhere!!! Yes, the report is that Kyrie told CLE that he wants to be traded. That's some crayyyyzy shiat homie!. I wonder where a good destination is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Seriously what would the Bulls have traded to get Kyrie? It wouldn't have happened. Edited July 21, 2017 by Rowand44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 03:00 PM) Welp...I truly do think the Bulls made the wrong move. Kyrie wants out of Cleveland...would have been a great piece to put alongside Jimmy. Hopefully they hit the lottery on the draft, etc, otherwise we are going to look at a long run of sucking. Jimmy made it clear on so many occassions how committed he was to Chicago and to bringing other stars to Chicago. It would have happened. OMG not you too. I've been fending off people on twitter talking about this. The Bulls didn't have the assets to acquire anyone let alone Kyrie Irving with Jimmy Butler on the team. What were they going to trade? #16, future 1st, Rondo, Portis? Why the hell would the Cavs trade Irving to a divisional rival for s*** just because?

He mentioned Minnesota, San Antonio, Miami and the Knicks. He needed to do this a month ago if he was serious. He's probably stuck now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 So, if I'm Dan Gilbert, I'm seriously considering the option of trading all of the big 3. Or maybe you keep Love, and trade Lebron and Kyrie for an insane package of 1st round picks over the next 2-3 seasons. Lebron is the only one of the three that has a no trade clause, but surely if you deal the other two, and his choice is a trade or a lost year in Cleveland, he's going to OK it (within reason I suppose). Kyrie supposedly said he wanted to go to the Knicks, Heat, Spurs and Timberwolves. He and Jimmy are tight. If you're Thibs, could you package basically anyone and everyone other than Jimmy and KAT for Kyrie? Throw in some picks? That wold be a pretty fun team in another season or two...

They can't anymore. They just signed Jeff Teague to big $$ and he can't be traded until December. Irving should have done this sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Just saw what I think is an excellent 3-way trade. Cleveland gets: Carmelo + Eric Bledsoe NYK gets: Kyle Irving Phoenix gets: Whatever assests/salary/draft picks etc. etc. I think that's a deal that works out well. Irving + Porz in NY would definitely be a start to.. something! Phoenix trading Bledsoe for some good assets would be smart as well. Cleveland getting Melo and Bledsoe allows them to compete at a very high level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
