Report: Kyrie Irving Asked Cavs to Trade Him

[DesignatedT]

Pre-Lebron? Irving was 22 years old. Hardly the player he is today.

[DenialTwist]

Spurs would rather keep re-signing Parker until he blows out his other quad and keep bringing back Manu than sign an all star point guard like Irving. Loyalty over a chance to win with players that are the same age as Kawhi.

#1 draft pick who couldn't even get his team an #8 seed... in the east.

[Leetonidas]

Bringing up assist to turnover doesn't make sense really considering LeBron is the primary ballhandler and facilitator. Irving is asked to score for Cleveland, not set up the offense

[cutewizard]

What matters is what Pop thinks

#1 draft pick who couldn't even get his team an #8 seed... in the east.

When was the last #1 pick who could do this?

[gambit1990]

Irving is asked to score for Cleveland

and he wants to be traded so he can be the focal point of the offense

I still wouldn't take him. We need better bigs. Overal Aldridge is still a better player for us. Kyrie is definitely better than any of our guards, but without LMA we have literally no not-horrible bigs.

I get that, but right now we have no not-horrible bigs. If that is the case, I would rather have the more talented player that is younger since you are going to have a guard or big problem regardless.

before kyrie was wall, griffin, rose. they've all been in the playoffs.

i didn't say #1 pick who took their team to the playoffs in their first year.

I haven't seen anyone mention it, but Riles spirited LeBron away from Cleveland in 2010, leaving them with nothing but a dumpster fire for four years. There is zero chance that Gilbert OKs any deal with the Heat.

[SPURt]

The chances of the Spurs trading for Kyrie are the same chances the Earth is actually flat

That's a good point - MIA would likely have to beat any offer by a wide margin for CLE to consider dealing with them.

[gambit1990]

kyrie is about himself, have none of y'all seen him play?

he'd rather take a tough shot than get an easy basket for his teammate, just like kobe.

he's not putting us over the top either

not even down to trade la for him.

Aldridge isn't nearly as bad as people say. I'd say he's quite a bit better than horrible. I just think the cost is too high if we lose Aldrige+green/mills. I'm fine with getting rid of him if we're gonna punt this season (since Aldridge is gone anyway) to get kyrie + pieces for next season though. I've been wanting that. We need to regroup imo.

3 for 17... against the 6ers


not even interested in looking up how many assists he had that game. all the people who want him can look that up and let me know.

Dude seriously give it a rest. We have TP on our team who has thrown up 0 point, 0 assist games for s sake.

[spurs10]

So nobody has seen Kyrie at the HEB or had their source at the airport chime in?

[gambit1990]

i haven't wanted tony on the team for a long time.

kyrie isn't going to put us over the top

the dude is a ing cancer who wants the spotlight.

[cutewizard]

Maybe Pop can change him......?

You're craving for the spotlight with your ty takes...

[gambit1990]

You're craving for the spotlight with your ty takes...

yeah, i'm just dying for other spurs fans to disagree with me

[gambit1990]

spurs currently: don't make it to the finals
spurs with irving: don't make it to the finals

i don't want tony on the team but i'd rather pay him this year than pay kyrie over multiple years and have to deal with his inferiority complex.

[gambit1990]

i didn't want parker when y'all thought he should've been an all star.

i don't want irving EVER.

I think is difficult to know who is the culprit for the Irving affair in Cleveland.
But for sure it's not one man's fault.
I don't believe Irving is solely to blame, and neither is only LeBron.
Both have tried to be complimentary and they for a championship, that's all you can ask for a player, so i would be careful of calling either of these players a cancer, maybe the think they have shoved the best they could and pretend to part ways before it's worse.
