Report: Kyrie Irving Asked Cavs to Trade Him

[BillMc]

He's an allstar but LMA gonna win you games. Love has always been a choker leading in minny. I'd rather have LMA than Love. That's just me.

Agreed. LMA has become a good defender. Love is a liability on that end. But I'd trade LMA and take back Love if somehow Kyrie also came in the mix.

[cd021]

Spurs have nothing the Cavs want. Irving will most likely go to Phoenix for Bledsoe

Lmao...

That's one of a trade

Straight up huh?

Cavs Get

Bledsoe
Dudley
2018 Suns pick (top 5 protected ) (probably still a top 12 pick despite Kyrie being on the Suns)

Suns get

Irving
Shumpert

makes plenty of since tbh
Frye

LMA is the overally better player. But Love's shooting and rebounding would be a much better fit.

For who? The cavs maybe. As for the suns, Irving has already said he's not committing to them long term. And if it was that simple, it would have already happened.

Where?

I don't get why LMA is a no-go because LeBron leaves. He doesn't fit on a personnel level, okay, but only has one year after the next on his contract.

If the Spurs get Kevin Love does that mean we have the start of San Antonio's Gay Love Era?

Ahh I can hear Bill now......"Love to Gay, Gay back to Love...Ohhh Maammaa!!!!" Sean Laughing "See when the ball is moving everyone is happy out there!!"

[Manu20]

Hopefully Lebron signs off on the Kyrie to Spurs trade as I think LMA and DG on a motivated Lebron and Cleveland team can be a serious le contenders next year.

[SpursforSix]

I'm lost now. So we're getting Kyrie and Love? For players not including: Parker, LMA, and Green?

This ing drama

[cd021]

For who? The cavs maybe. As for the suns, Irving has already said he's not committing to them long term. And if it was that simple, it would have already happened.

Irving opting in for a 3rd year would cost him $9 million, it's a non option. 2 years at $18.8 and $20 million for Kyrie is a steal and two seasons should be enough time to sell him on the future off whatever team acquires him.

The Suns are have been wanting to move Bledsoe, swapping him for Kyrie is a an upgrade. Swapping Dudley for Bledsoe (who have similar contracts) is better for the Cavs because Dudley can actually defend and shoot unlike Shumpert and would be something that the Suns may offer to do to sweeten the deal. Bledsoe is an downgrade but is a much better defender and has a connection with Lebron.

The Suns would essentially really only be giving up a lottery pick for Irving, considering that they already have Chriss, Bender, Jackson, and Booker already on roster, all of whom were taken in the lottery in the past three drafts, that shouldn't be that big of an issue plus they would have Miami's 2018 pick (probably ends up being 16-20)

Cavs pick up a very good PG but not quite the player that Irving is, they get Dudley who is better than Shumpert, and add a probable top 10 pick (while also having their own pick in 2018)

Suns get the best player in the deal and can pair him with Booker while still having Jackson, Chriss, Bender, and all there picks (minus the 2018 pick) plus Miami's in 2020. The Suns would be in good position to add a third star given all of their assets going forward.

[Phenomanul]

I rescind my desire to have Bron join the Spurs next season (independent of the fallout of the Kyrie drama). It's too distracting.

Cavs want Jackson though.

James should force his way to the Celtics.

LeBron is never one to be out drama-ed.

"I'm not happy with ownership either!"

[cd021]

Don't buy that the Cavs wouldn't be interested in Green, he would actually be playable against GSW unlike half their team and it's not like he is on some long term bad contract, it expires after this season but they would have his bird rights.

[Chinook]

Lebron's been a ing about Gilbert. Dude lost $40 Million on the Cavs last season. That's the cost of having the best player in the world on your team. PATFO couldn't do that, ignoring whether they would or should.

[cd021]

This ing drama

Gilbert gonna Gilbert tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Is there a way for the Spurs to land Kyrie Irving without giving up LMA? Irving, Leonard, LMA, Gasol, Rudy, Manu could make some noise.

How nice of you to insert Manure in there so the other team has a chance.

[cd021]

Cavs want Jackson though.

And the Suns aren't moving him...

[SpursforSix]

Don't buy that the Cavs wouldn't be interested in Green, he would actually be playable against GSW unlike half their team and it's not like he is on some long term bad contract, it expires after this season but they would have his bird rights.

Yeah...I agree with that. But they aren't assured of getting to the Finals without Kyrie and plus whoever the Spurs give them.

I rescind my desire to have Bron join the Spurs next season (independent of the fallout of the Kyrie drama). It's too distracting.

I absolutely still want Lebron, tbh

[tholdren]

Lebron's been a ing .

This. Lebum fans are idiots. Kobe was better
