From The Bullshit Whisperer
Some players and executives seem to understand Irving’s desire to be dealt. A number have indicated Irving is merely jealous of LeBron James, and according to one source, how the organization “will move heaven and earth for LeBron.”

8. The source then added this: “Of course, in return, LeBron holds them hostage.”

9. Irving appears to be upset that the Cavs are All LeBron, All The Time. That may or may not be true — but it seems to be what is bothering Irving. Sources say Irving feels he was the one who was in Cleveland through the worst, back during the Byron Scott and Mike Brown eras after James had left for Miami. Yet it is LeBron who gets all the love today.

10. Irving also feels that he was the one who, despite being here for the bad times, signed an extension as soon as he could. Now, sources say, Irving feels slighted, disrespected.

11. One source said, “If only (Cavs owner) Dan Gilbert could trade LeBron. He could get the motherload in return before LeBron could walk away again.”

12. It’s doubtful Gilbert would go down that road even if he could. But he can’t, because James has a no-trade clause in his contract. Really, though, it doesn’t matter. Given the Cavs’ miserable record without James, he’s not the guy you move in this situation.

13. No one from the Cavaliers will ever forget Irving’s huge 3-pointer in Game 7 of the 2016 Finals. He is truly remarkable. He is a fan favorite and he will be missed. But the first title in franchise history was delivered by James, and no one in the organization will believe otherwise. So LeBron will always be the favorite son in Cleveland.

I think Denver may cave first. What I mean by that is they have had a difficult time in the past attracting free agents. I thought I read somewhere that their attendance was dead last in the NBA. With all of the $ spent on Milsap, they have to be all in and I believe they may feel that Kyrie will sell tickets. While my #1 option is still the Bucks, lets wait and see what some of these teams may add to their original offers.

I agree with this and I want Murray, Harris and Chandler,,,I'm sure Denver is hesitant to do this but I think if you hold out you can get this..
Its a better deal than the Phoenix Jackson and Bledsoe deal...Bad Knees Bledsoe may not make it through the year and Jackson has to go through his rookie season which will be a learning experience and a lot of bench riding.
Murray already played through the rookie jitters and was playing great by the end of the year. Harris can start or come off the bench and be huge with a lineup of Rose/Harris/Chandler/Love/Tristan to rest LBJ. Chandler can start games for LBJ to rest him.
All these guys have the ability to be plus defenders also. Its a no brainer for me.
 
Kristine Leahy said that Kyrie didn't like how LeBron would hang out with Chris Paul after games instead of his teammates.

IT Crowder Brown and Brooklyn's pick would be hard to turn down .. Because IMO it leaves Boston depleted and we beat the shit out of them again while taking their best asset

Could probably flip that Brooklyn pick and other assets for a disgruntled Anthony Davis in year's time as well..

This is something I've never really understood. I get that you can't really compare basketball to an office job, but it's pretty normal for coworkers to be cool with each other at work but hangout with their own friends after work is over. I don't expect them to all be buddy-buddy with each other and hangout every night.
 
I could imagine the Sixers being a really interesting trade partner.

Fultz could be the key member of the deal from them, and the Sixers could build around Kyrie, Simmons, and Embiid.

Simmons and Kyrie might compliment each other nicely, whether Kyrie realizes it or not.

Cavs would need other assets coming back, but Fultz would be the young prospect.
