Why does Tyson chandler keep coming up. Fuck him he sucks and is of no value against warriors.


I'm having hard time of thinking of worthwhile deals though. Maybe straight swap for boogie but he might struggle.

Best thing I can think of is Conley and gasol but Memphis don't seem like they wanna rebuild so best case that's a deadline deal and we'd have to throw in a bit more than Kyrie. Future first plus Cedi and fielder at least.

Conley does absolutely nothing against GSW and gets torched. Also I want TT gone and a true 7 footer on the team similar to what GS has done with ZaZa or Bogut.
 
Jabari
Brogdon
Delly
Maker
Monroe (Eh)
Henson
Snell

A Combo of those guys would be a decent return.
Why would the Cavs ever pair Kyrie with Gannis who's also in our division? That's not even a great return for Cleveland. Jabari is not nearly the same player with all the injuries.
 
I didn't literally mean for the Cavaliers to make a quick and bad decision. I want this drama to be over with so we can move on.
Definitely fair. We all want the drama to end I'm sure. I'm just saying as much as I want it over. I don't want to see the Cavs rush anything. The Bulls made that mistake. They had leverage with Butler if they had held strong they weren't committed to trading him. They decided they had to rush it though. Cavs need to maintain the stance they dont need to honor the request and are willing to ride this out.
 
Correct but the issue comes in why would Phoenx trade Bledsoe if they aren't getting the firsts from NY? Also according to the "trade machine" that increases our wins by 5.

Knicks should be willing to move their rookie PG along with picks and Melo to get Kyrie...that's who Phoenix gets for Bledsoe
 
Yeah but team chemistry will suck! They are never gonna respect him again

So what if team chemistry sucks to start the season. If that's the price to pay to get a good enough haul from a Kyrie trade to get Lebron to stay the following season, then so be it.

Bulls were in a rush with Butler because they want to tank starting day 1. It made no sense for them to let him play part of the season and win games for them.

The Bulls problem is that they waited 1 year too long to begin their rebuild. Signing Wade and Rondo was absolutely stupid. They would have gotten a shitload from Boston had they traded Butler last year.
 
Khris Middleton in a heartbeat
Jabari Parker
Thon Maker
Malcom Brogdon
Trading him to a division rival is dangerous but if it's for Middleton, Thon and Delly then that's a good third option behind Suns, Denver
 
I really really want mike conley. Even if kyrie recommitted I'd still want mike conley. Everything kyrie doesn't do in terms of winning basketball, Conley does.
 
Well I agree that Irving is a beast.

Giannis is also a beast. Offensively AND defensively. Not as talented as Irving of course. Pretty much no one is.

Porzingis can do everything Giannis can do??? No way man. Watch a game.

I think Irving has shown flaws, 1) Laziness (On D) and Selfishness. Giannis is a beast, and has not shown such flaws. I just feel as if Irving would have more freedom to do more because the Greek freak is not the ball handler. I don't really have Irving pom poms tbh. However, It is my belief he has not reached his peak, and in typical Cleveland fashion, he will do that elsewhere. Just our luck.

I see a lot of Kobe in this kid, good and bad. I have a strong feeling this will be the one that got away. Look at our draft history. We missed out on so much talent.
 
Conley is 30 and his contact would be almost impossible to move IMO.. Plus Memphis has no good young pieces to offer...I'll take Bledsoe and Jackson or unprotected lottery picks all day over Conley at this stage in the game
