LeBron doesn't like it when his manipulation is exposed to daylight, and Kyrie pretty much just ripped down the curtain. Kyrie is in that same class of distressed asset as butler and PG13, and will return only pennies on the dollar like they did. It doesn't matter that he has two years left on his contract, and no no-trade clause. He has effectively pulled the pin on the trade grenade, and they have to get rid of him, or it becomes the only story for Cleveland this season, and LeBron won't have that. It would tarnish his image with the clueless public.
with PG? they were the seller though.Quote:

We could say Lebron is all about himself. then gets angry when a young player dares to have the same mindset he taught him.Quote:

Now.. meh... at least I will get to watch Kyle Anderson (that was for the hate crew, got to give them a bone every once in a while... let them generate at least 20 posts about something else).
Wonder if they'll pull the trigger.
I wonder what is the purpose of the rule that you can't trade a newly signed player until Dec 15. Is it so a player who signs a FA contract at least gets to play part of the season where he wanted to play?
Basically so you can't completely fuck over a player right after you sign him. You have to wait a few months, THEN you can fuck him over. Sort of a "no get out of jail fee card on an immediate buyer's remorse" rule.Quote:

Don't think there is any is any way to positively spin the return on PG-13. They took back Olidipo, a player who is likely to under perform his $84 million dollar price tag and Sabonis with no pick attached.Quote:

Indy would've probably finished this upcoming season as one of the five worst teams and gotten another lottery pick as a result. OKC not only got one of the best players in the league without giving up a pick but also got out of a bad contract too.
Indy should've waited, the return they got was a joke.Quote:

I'm at peace now that we have Gasol locked up. I don't care what Kyrie does anymore.
