Report: Kyrie Irving Asked Cavs to Trade Him

[coachmac87]

lol look at this depth chart.
for the record I wanted Kyrie. Spurs need talent at the guard spots and are in a fishing expedition, while expecting huge contributions in the playoffs from a guy with a ruptured Quad, a legend who is already 40 and will be nearing 41 at the time, and a forward who suffered a career killing achilles injury... but sure guys think Kyle Anderson won't find playing time.... lets give him away for free.. spurstalk

Id put Green in the wing category tbh..yeah he can start at SG but I can see him playing a lot of back up SF with the bench unit as well

It's not my list but can't blame the way he rostered it... Green's lion share of minutes is at the SG spot no doubt about that.

An idiot deserves an idiot response. As I said, who's offering two starters (one with championship experience) and a young prospect with the potential to start?

We should do a poll and ask the forum who is an idiot. If I lose, I'm gone forever, if you lose you are gone forever - Deal?

You could say he almost looks like Kobe Bryant in that pic.

I thought it was Kobe!
Isn't that a Laker logo on his hat?

Let's do it. I'm ready.

Make the thread.

And no alts. Show the voters too.

Spurfan,

Umm no, idiot.

RDSh*tposter asked a question with no working knowledge of anything outside of SA's team. I provided him an answer he didn't like and then he acted like a baby about it.

We both want Kyrie; one of us just is a realist about the situation and the other is sort of of

[DPG21920]

Umm no, idiot.

That's what I thought

[RD2191]

Not because you're not an idiot though, I have too many haters on this site. Besides, men don't make deals with midgets.

Too many haters. It's also cute that as soon as I called you an idiot you started calling me one.

The biggest misconception is Green can guard sf. He can't. He is not a strong player.

[Chinook]

You're overthinking this and acting like Leonard and Irving are old and this all has to be put together next season. Obviously, the timing wouldn't be ideal for any team, but who gives a ? Get the star who's part of the all important in crowd and can recruit a third eventually and become a prime destination for ring chasing veteran's willing to take the minimum. Plus, they've repeatedly shown they can find back end rotation players.

They have to get it done this year or next. There is no guarantee that Kyrie is a long-term play. Even if he is, he's going to have to be massively overpaid. Irving isn't a superstar. He's a glass cannon. People are giving his this huge impact, but he should be the third member of a Big Three. I would indeed hope that the team could sign a guy like Cousins and agree to extensions for the other two next summer. But it's too much up in the air. In the meantime, he doesn't move the needle.

The Spurs are great at finding back-end guys, but they keep their key role-players for so long because they know it's not easy to find them. Guys like Bowen took them years to replace. Don't confuse Green and LMA for Neal or Simmons.

He's been great defensively at the three. The misconception is on your end, not everyone else's.

I didn't want to engage in a discussion with coachmac87 about Green bc his agenda is that he just hates Anderson.
Truth is Green is the starting SG... if he wants him at the backup SF spot who is he starting? rookies? Manu? yea right... dude doesn't want to see Anderson play is all... I don't think he likes Danny either.

Coachmac87=One of those smart Kevin Martin and Jsimms fans.

Still salty about Simmons outplaying cranium, I see. Lmfao salty is not a good look

[Taking it to the Hole]

If I am a betting man, I just don't see RC being able to pull off a deal of this magnitude. I can genuinely see Irving going to New York and playing with Carmelo seeing how bad he wanted to go to Cleveland. I don't know if Irving is genuinely serious about wanting to come to such a small market like ours. I don't see him as a high society type of guy but you never know. If it is just about winning, he would have given a much shorter list because out of the teams he listed, we are the only team in serious contention for a championship.

You know coachmac87 subtle angle is that he sees Danny as a backup player anyway and wants someone else starting.

dude must be in mourning about JSimms signing in Orlando and Kevin Martin retiring.

I don't think Coach was saying anything about Kyle or Green with his statement. I agree with him. Green may get SF minutes. With Gay there too, it's not a need, but if the Spurs have to go small for a whole series, I could see him and Manu having some time together.

You called me an idiot because you're an insecure little man.

It's not necessarily furious. Lebron is leaving Cleveland and Kyrie has seen that team was built to fit Lebron and allow him to succeed. They gave large contracts to guys that Lebron wanted etc. When Lebron leaves they will be a lottery team and Kyrie's value will decrease when they are floundering, plus teams will be loathe to give up much for him when they know he is on his last year of his contract. Kind of like the Lamarcus situation. I think he has seen the writing on the wall. Lebron just can't be trusted, one day he will say let's do this, the other he's going to be gone with an essay in the Player's Tribune without advance warning. Listen if he did that to DWade his personal friend and Bosh.. Kyrie is nothing to him... so Kyrie decided to see if he could bolt before all that goes down.

I wouldn't encourage him to engage coachmac87 who is a known Anderson troll, plus I don't think he really cares for Danny either tbh If you see Danny getting A LOT of bench minutes someone else is getting minutes with the SL... I thought that was implied.
