Now everyone knows Kyrie wants out so his value is depressed. Phoenix may think they can have Kyrie whenever they want. Why not make the Cavs sweat into training camp to see if they can get Kyrie without including Jackson? There's no risk with how they appear to be offering the most right now.

I still don't understand the shit ass set up of twitter. Who said what to whom. How is Britt McHenry involved?

Who is the good looking blonde girl in your profile?

Except it doesn't make sense now considering the Suns are not willing to do that very deal.

That's what you can't get around. If they offered Bledsoe and 4 then why aren't they offering it now?

It was surprising at the time that Josh Jackson fell to the 4th pick.
If it was Tatum or Isaac the Suns might be more than willing to trade the pick.

It really wasn't. I knew Tatum.was going #3 7-10 days before the draft. It was becoming super obvious. All the whispers how Tatum was #1 on Boston's board. Etc, etc.

I'm with Rich. If they would trade Bledsoe and #4 then, they would have been okay with trading Bledsoe and Jackson now. At least that's what logic dictates.

Once the reports that Jackson refused to work out with the Celtics it was 99% obvious he would be there at 4.

Exactly and I've heard that he wanted to go to.Phoenix but I've also heard he didn't want to work out for the Celtics and then have them pass on him, because intel was pretty solid they were taking Tatum.
 
The delay could be for Phoenix to save the Miami pick.

If the Suns throw in Jackson now, it makes it easier for the Cavs to demand the Miami first-rounder as well. The Cavs would have all off-season to take Jackson without the Miami pick, and use that to get teams to bid against each other. I think what happens is Phoenix offers Jackson without the pick right before the end of the offseason so the Cavs can't sit on the offer. Phoenix gets to save the Miami pick because Jackson starting the season well would risk Phoenix pulling their offer and the Cavs losing him.

In the end it's a lot of posturing to end up to what was rumored to be previously agreed upon, Kyrie for Bledsoe plus the number 4 pick without the Miami pick. Jackson allegedly wanting to go to Phoenix before the draft is interesting. Wonder why that is.

Factors since those rumors occurred which could change things, are what James Jones told the Suns about Kyrie and the Suns having a better opinion of Jackson after summer league.

Jackson wanted to play heavy minutes as a rookie he worked out with every team in the top 5 except the Celtics because he knew he wouldn't get a ton of minutes In Boston.

Are you serious right now?

Chris Broussard. Mr. "sauces said" himself...:chuckle::chuckle:

He literally lost his job writing for ESPN, can't get another one anywhere legit(FS1 podcast doesn't count) , and is now a "motivational speaker" for money.

Enjoy that hill. Chris Broussard has been irrelevant for years now.

A quick search of his recent work includes "Broussard explains why LBJ isn't recruiting free agents"

Yet we know for a fact LeBron has recruited multiple guys.


His credibility is shot. And has been for a long time.

I find it extremely unbelievable that Gilbert wouldn't have accepted that deal no matter what LeBron said. You basically would've gotten back Bledsoe and PG13. That team could've beat GS and you probably get LeBron to resign on that team because basically theres nowhere better.

Its funny that Broussard wrote that LeBron isn't recruiting piece then 2 seconds later we see that LeBron was recruiting Derrick Rose. lol

The blonde is my gf/now fiance/baby mama of 16 years lol
 
So as we stand today, we're about 1 month removed from the initial news breaking of Kyrie having requested a trade. And we're about 1 month away from training camp.

We still have no news or rumors of any substance about potential trades in the works. But any word of this getting reconciled is very light too, like whether LeBron and Kyrie may have spent a few minutes in Miami together.

It feels like something needs to happen over the next few weeks, one way or the other. Either he gets traded or we hear reports that he's ready (happy or not) to report to camp.

I still think they were trolling us. It took the news off of the Dubs this NBA off season, and only on the Cavs. Now all of a sudden, Kyrie thought Lebron wanted him out. It's like whatever. We've been trolled. That's fine with me, now let's go out an take no prisoners. :cool:
 
Peyton Manning to KD at the ESPY awards: "Our gymnastics team was so dominant that Kevin Durant told me that he wants to play for them next year."

Even KD's mom thought it was funny
