Selfishly, if Kyrie truly has to be traded, I hope it's to the Suns. I live in a suburb of Phoenix and would have at least 41 chances to see him play live every year. On top of that, the Cavs could add a very talented piece if they could get one of Chriss, Josh Jackson, or Booker, though I think Booker is only a possibility in a straight one for one deal since Booker has superstar potential.

The Cavs need to get Bledsoe who is 27 and one of the best defenders at the position while also avg 21-5-5... And on top of that Jackson or Melo and an unprotected first next year
 
You know the worst thing about all this is that Kyrie probably gives zero fucks about what anyone thinks about him, he's so much into his own bubble.

I don't see Bucks having the pieces they wouldn't move Giannis for Irving what else do they have that realistically helps us?

Jabari
Brogdon
Delly
Maker
Monroe (Eh)
Henson
Snell

A Combo of those guys would be a decent return.

I'd say they have to get Jackson he provides a defense first player who has immense upside if LBJ walks and all this Melo talk really needs to end and it likely will with reports Melo will only waive his NTC for Houston now... Bledsoe Smith Jackson LBJ Love is better then Bledsoe Smith LBJ Melo Love imho with Bledsoe LBJ Love Smith we could let Jackson focus on being a shut down defender this season where as Melo just gives us another player who doesn't play defense and chucks up shots

Not only that, Kyrie isn't happy in a situation that 99% of other NBA players would be ecstatic with. And LeBron in particular has gone above and beyond to support Kyrie and accommodate him and pump him up and even defer to him on multiple occasions. If I were LeBron right now, I'd be incredibly hurt and offended.

LeBron told Ty Lue to give the ball to Kyrie for THE SHOT. Which has made Kyrie a part of a legendary NBA moment. The man Kyrie idolizes, wouldn't have done that. That's sacrifice.

I don't think Kyrie quite understands what he is walking away from. But, few years down the line when he doesn't win a Championship again, and possibly no MVPs, he would realize just what a colossal fuck-up he committed. Sadly, it would be too late to do anything.

Money don't fit for N.Y. and if Shump for Melo was an option it would have happened awhile ago .. NY probably gets Kyrie and shifts their rookie PG to Pho in the deal IMO

The money works. Try it in the trade machine. New York doesn't have to take back as much as they send out.

If Phoenix is just getting the rookie PG from NY then there's no way they send us Bledsoe, Chandler, and Jackson.

He wants a new team like a little child wants a new toy.

Where are you seeing that Melo will only waive his no trade for Houston? Everything I've read it's both Houston and Cleveland but he won't waive it if it means gutting the team.

Call me crazy, but Kyrie might be doing us a favor (assuming we get a good return on a trade).

Kyrie was WAY to talented to ever justify trading him, but he also caused a lot of problems for our team on the defensive end of the floor. And, one of the reasons Kevin Love has never looked like "fat" Kevin was because of Kyrie's style of point guard play.

I think we're going to see an even better Kevin Love, and potentially a more well-rounded squad, after we deal Kyrie.







*fingers crossed
 
Also, let me great this straight:

He wants to be an alpha, so two of his preferred teams have Kawahi Leonard and KAT?

Newsflash, you aren't the alpha dog in either of those situations either. Hell, he might be #3 in Minnesota.

And in NY, he might be #2 to Kristaps.

Only place he would be #1 is Miami...WHO HAS DION WAITERS, WHO ALREADY PROVED YOU CAN'T COEXIST WITH BECAUSE HE THINKS HE'S BETTER THAN YOU!

Damnit, what a complete fucking moron this guy is.

Sad thing is the following year LeBron tells Kyrie to go with it down 1 with a 2 for 1 opportunity. Instead he kills all of the clock and forces up a horrible 3. Forced us to foul on defense.

Kyrie was so focused on taking a Kobe hero shot instead of driving to the hoop or pulling up for the mid range jumper (where he was automatic)
 
We would have to get a good PG. If we are planning to go into the season with DRose as our first choice PG, LeBron is as good as gone next summer imo.

Get Bledsoe + Josh Jackson or Conley + Picks for Kyrie. Then see if you can get someone like a Melo for TT or something. That way, we build a roster which can challenge the Warriors while not sabotaging our future!
