Report: Kyrie Irving Asked Cavs to Trade Him

[TimDunkem]

You're gonna pay 20M per for a back up? He's actually making more $$ for Kyrie..

Why sacrifice a wing player in Wiggins who you're on the brink of signing an extension with for Irving?? So you can bench Teague? Who you just paid 20M over 3yrs?

Why sacrifice Wiggins? Kyrie is better than him maybe?

Again, if Cleveland wants Teague, they don't have to do the deal now. They're the one team that is absolutely fine with waiting. They have no problem with letting Kyrie squirm while James leads them to a top seed in the ty East.

Think about what you're saying....why would Cleveland want Teague? 3yr/59M. Why?

YOU said Wiggins was the deal...which is fine but it still would leave Minnesota with a horrible Teague/Irving combination starting together or Teague off the bench it's a horrible duo for Minnesota.

And I can make the case to keep a younger prospect (Wiggins ) who balances the roster construction..and could be getting 5yr extension...over Kyrie who is the better player BUT is only signed for 2 years and makes your backcourt very questionable

I'm not the one saying Cleveland wants Teague. You are. Any other combination with Wiggins would be fine. If Cleveland does end up with Teague, they would likely move forward with moving Love and others other balance things out.

The roster balance for Minny is exactly why this deal hasn't been done yet. No one else is willing to give up the farm for a possible two year rental. That's why both sides are completely fine waiting. Also, there has been no indication from Minny's side that they're sold on Wiggins and ready to extend him.

God you're a ing idiot...

I said Minnesota doesn't make sense if you really look st things...

You said Wiggins is part of the deal that could happen...

I agree with that but I don't see why Minnesota would want a Kyrie/Teague backcourt...

Where and gone did I say Teague was going to Cleveland??

You're the dumbass who brought all that up...

Chill, jackass and re-read what you wrote. You brought up Teague, dumbass. All I said was the deal would center around Wiggins.

All this coming from the guy saying Miami makes sense when literally no one else in the world thinks Riley would deal with Cleveland. No wonder your podcast failed.

[szkorhetz]

How does Minnesota make sense??

IMO the only team on the list that makes sense is Miami...

[Leetonidas]

Lol at posters scoffing this thread. An all star expressed interest in being traded here and it's rumored to be his preferred landing spot. Why the wouldn't there be a thread about it? ing spurfan

[mookie2001]

So Kyrie thinks if you fly a plane in a straight line long enough that you'll just pass all the mountains and oceans and countries known to man and reach the great unknown.

Van Morrison ass PG lol

The problem is you can't comprehend what I wrote....

Trading Wiggins for Kyrie creates a TEAGUE/IRVING BACKCOURT IN MINNESOTA...starting together or Teague off the bench..it doesn't make sense basketball wise or salary cap wise because TEAGUE is getting paid 20M...if you think hard enough you'd realize that'd be the highest salary for s bench player..NOT GOOD.

You're the only one who suggested ANYTHING about Teague/Cavs yet you said I did. That makes you an idiot sir...

I'd love to explain why Miami would make more sense basketball/salary wise instead of Minnesota but I don't think you could comprehend it all

I already ing explained that the deal doesn't need to be done now you moron. You keep pushing forward this narrative that the deal needs to be now and you're so caught up in wrapping your head around it that you refuse to acknowledge it. Cleveland DOES NOT have to do anything right now.

And nothing about basketball or salary is going to explain why Riley would do a deal with Cleveland. He is not going to help out that franchise. Everyone seems to understand that but you. Now go get your shinebox and off back to your podcast no one listens to.

Ok since you're still struggling with the first topic I'm not gonna elaborate on it anymore..

But I'll shut you up real quick regarding Miami or anyone in particular...

Boogie, George, Butler are just a few recent examples where the team trading away those players got the short end of the deal...what makes you think Kyrie would be different? Especially now with all the drama surrounding the entire deal...

So if Miami is getting Kyrie and 95% likely getting the better end of the deal why wouldn't Riley try and make a deal??

[RD2191]

[cd021]

Surprised T-wolves are this low.

Apparently the Cavs are asking for Wiggins, T-Wolves have to decide whether or not to include him or not.

If it were to go down it would probably be

Wiggins and Dieng + 2018 1st round pick (from OKC)
for
Irving and Fyre.

The only one struggling is you. All I initially said is that Minny makes more sense than anyone on Kyrie's list. You're caught up with the notion that the deal needs to get done with one of those teams ASAP and insist the Cavs are unwilling to trade for Teague or wait for him when, he's not even the centerpiece of the package, and Cleveland doesn't have to do a deal now.

The whole not getting back good value point is exactly why they're willing to wait. If a team like say, the Suns, are unwilling to trade young talent with proven talent like Jackson/Bledsoe, then there's nothing keeping the Cavs from either keeping Irving or waiting for a Wiggins/Teague/some throw in deal. They're not going to trade for Miami or San Antonio scraps right now. They're not calling teams; they're waiting for teams to call them with the best deal.

Keep pushing Miami though. Riley doesn't want to spare LeBron the embarrassment of Kyrie distancing himself from him, and no one on the Cavs wants to help the team that took LeBron from them. Literally almost everyone in the league feels the exact same way about it. Miami was likely one of those teams, like the Knicks, that Kyrie would prefer from a location perspective but isn't considered a realistic landing spot.

[tholdren]

Kyrie as a face of a team. After this drama. I told you all he was crap. Now he looks like a dumber version of carmelo. What other gm is thinking.... hmmmm i need a spoiled, selfish, person with half of an all around game?...

Brooklyn, maybe? Lakers? Sacramento? Thats about it.

Ok I'll play your game....

This.
Dumbass gets so many good looks because
a. Lebron is a kick ass passer
b. Lebron draws doubles / attention all the farking time which helps free up Irving.

This is like dumbass Kirby Bryant as the *leader*. Then he realized Shaq buttered his bread along with MVPau and LakerRef.

[Crazymaddopeyo]

Apparently Eric Bledsoe is practicing with Lebron and D Rose.
