Apparently they really like Josh Jackson because most other teams if they were in a similar situation would probably realize that trading the number 4 pick in the draft for a multiyear all star is a fair ask. If Phoenix holds on their resistance to including Jackson then I don't see the reason why the Cavs would deal Kyrie to them.
That would leave Phoenix very thin at the pg position with Knight done for the season. It's debatable whether Ulis can be a full time starter and that would leave the newly acquired Kay Felder as the only available back up. Not sure why the Suns would pull the trigger on that deal.
I am glad to see at least the Spurs made a legit offer. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen, but it wasn't bc they didn't make an offer or were not interested.
It's one thing to call, and another to make an offer. They have been active this summer trying to trade LMA (and Danny has been rumored in "some" trades too), so I guess it wouldn't surprise... but a very often cited argument by fans here is: the Spurs are always active but you never hear about it. No, the Spurs are quiet sometimes, and have been recently (as of the trade deadline, and last summer), which is as you said taking calls or making calls is due diligence, but no real offers or effort to actually move players or get someone. Getting a rumor that actual offers are being made changes the perception of how active they really are, vs just due diligence.Lol ST posters.I bet pop and rc didn't bother to call
Looks like Heat have not made an offer to the Cavs
So the ESPN story is inaccurate. Wondering which of those listed teams actually made an offer.
It doesn't make CLE pause. It's just MIA's way of putting some pressure the only way they can.
Dragic, despite the money which is irrelevant to CLE really is a solid player. I agree Winslow isn't great but he's young enough and that is the type of deal CLE likely will get
3 months from now: "Spurs never made an offer to the Cavs" when Kyrie was traded for peanuts. Spurstalk meltdown ensues.
Page 54!!! First!!
I cannot imagine why Cleveland would trade Kyrie Irving, regardless of what he or Lebron or anyone else thinks.
It could be the opportunity of a lifetime for some team if Cleveland is foolish enough to do it.
Forget about aging and underachieving Chris Paul or any of the others, this would be huge.
Almost lad
Lol horrible offer
Nope.

People forget Melo was amazing during Denver's WCF run. He looked like a Top 5 player that year and then was like Top 3 in MVP voting his first (or second?) year in NY. I don't think Kyrie has shown enough as a #1 to warrant the type of deal Denver got for Melo.
Melo’s trade I believe was like 13 player three 3 team trade. Nuggets got Gallinari, Chandler, Felton, Mozgov. 1st rd pick and 2 2nd picks.
You right Melo then was better than Kyrie now
melo wanted out but the cavs deal is public james wants to kill kyle
so you think cavs will get more then melo
lol
Sure, back then he was a good bet for the Knicks, CF in the West, funny how after that he had troubles to get a Eastern Conference spot missing playoffs almost every time, but was bigger than Kyrie nonetheless.
Really hope the Spurs front office are at least attempting to brew something up to aquire Kyrie. But like I said, the Spurs luck to get under 30 prime superstars, whether through free agency or trade, has been pretty much nil in its entire history. We are fortunate that Kyrie has even mentioned the Spurs as a preference.
Seems like the Cavs want a kings ransom for Irving. They might be waiting a while.
Yeah I would have loved to have signed Paul, but I would completely gut the team to get Irving playing alongside Kawhi. Especially considering the Spurs only real prospect right now is Murray and Aldridge seems to be out the door next summer.
Wow, Spurs are actually trying, nice to hear
