I think you're discounting the massive drama component when Kyrie is sitting due to "injury", and LBJ goes into turbo-petulant mode. Massive pressure on the Cavs and Koby to "do something" coming from LBJ and his camp, and everyone knows it.
Had Kyrie done his power play a few weeks earlier, prior to the start of free agency, that could have made all the difference. But he waited until it was too late for the best deals that might otherwise have been available.
I thought part of the falling out between Gilbert and Griff was Gilbert’s unwillingness to include Kyrie in deals?
Trade something and Kyrie for something and Jimmy Butler, and the Cavs are stylin’. Instead, everyone thinks the Cavs are dangling Love, and maybe they are...
