re: Kyrie Irving Come on Down!

Thrown in our 2018, 2020, 2022 unprotected firsts and it happens baby. SUPER TEAM NOLA

This was another rumor(take with salt though)during draft time so theres smoke

This one was basically:

Kyrie to PHX
Bledsoe/PG13 to CLE
#4 pick(via Phx) to indy

---

Ive heard that was talked about heavily and the only reason it didnt go through was because Indy wanted more for PG.

I was just thinking that. The closest we got to dumping Asik was trying to get into the Melo deal.

Answer me this. What the hell else does Kyrie do besides score?


I've never seen a player more overrated. People act like he's top 10, he's not even top 20 of I'm ranking guys. Funny how Lebron misses games and Cleveland looks like shite with Kyrie running the show. Oh, I wonder why.

If our team had great or even good offense, then I'd see your point.

But isn't most of our issue that we get little offensive production consistency outside of AD or Cousins?

I'm not even advocating for getting him because we can't get him. Or even how he'd fit into the roster because we can't trade Jrue. But he'd absolutely help. And is a top 20 guy. Plus he has championship experience. An invaluable trait. Also he's a 40% 3pt shooter.

He defends like ripe arse, but he's not overrated.

I don't see the point in trading Boogie for Irving. I think teams need to stop trying to be the Warriors, because that won't happen. Istead a coach and front office need to be innovative and find a way to beat them some how. I think we have the perfect set up with 2 of the best big men in the league, it just takes an innovative mind to figure out how to do it.

I think all sports are cyclic, and teams winning with big men in the NBA will happen again

Man this would be super fricking awesome

Can anyone think of a trade to do without giving up Cousins or Davis

This team doesn't need 3 point guards. Rondo and Jrue can't be traded till December and the Cavs aren't going to have the toxic environment where Irving and Lebron play together 2 months.

Who would say no?

Why when there is a star available every people are throwing million trade ideas?

Understand buying low.
But:
1. Only tradable items for CLE might be maybe DMC and picks. LBJ is not intersted in picks. And CLE will need point guard (Bledsoe f.e.).
2. We cannot trade Rondo and Jrue for 5 months. And Kyrie plays this position.
Also Rondo signed to start.

Also we won't have money for good starting Center (if we trade DMC )
Remember? Our All Star player is not happy playin center.

Also Kyrie is SG in PG body. And can't defend.
And people are throwing multiple future picks. When all this might fail. Like in BRK.

Maybe before Jrue extension you might have thought about S&T.
But now? Hell no.

We might offer to be a part of 4team trade. But that is all...

irving/holiday/davis is a far better fit for todays NBA than holiday/davis/cousins. and much more fun to watch

---

while definitely true, i'd have some mixed feelings

im not a big Kyrie fan at all. respect his tremendous talent/skills, but i just dont like watching him play + the earth isnt flat. i also am just intrigued by Davis/Cousins. high chance it never clicks, but i am curious to watch it unfold.




some good Pellies talk on latest Lowe Post w/ Russillo... LINK

cliffs:

Lowe thinks they are in 11 team west playoff mix

Russillo doesnt trust Cousins to hold it together. hopes he does, but is in prove it mode w/ Boogie

Lowe is very interested and fascinated b/c Pellies are a team no one has a read on.

he isnt quite sure what they are doing after signing Holiday and Rondo.

recall to earlier discussion on the Cavs and their summer- question why the Pels didnt try to find some cheaper guys on the wing to give them something

both wish Moore was about 3 inches taller b/c the Pels have 0 wings.

both like Hill, but not the $$

both talk about April NBA and not reading too much into those games
