I wouldn't break down my team for him though

Facts

 

[The Oldtimer]

My bad.

He had a Bacon double cheeseburger for dinner and hasn't dropped the kids off at the pool this morning.

Howdy, OT.

Hi my friend. There's hoping you are doing well.

 

[DJ]

Going to Arbys.

 

[Mecca]

He doesn't have a NTC but I think they'll try and trade him to one of his preferred destinations....

Why?

He doesn't give a shit about breaking up a Finals team.

Why should they care where he wants to play it that doesn't get them the best return?

The Spurs are his top pick.

They have Jack shit outside of Kawhi.

Why would the Cavs want Aldridge?

The Knicks giving up the Unicorn?

Minny might have a shot though...

But, to expect Wiggins to come help the guy who got him traded?

I wouldn't sign the extension to kill the trade if I were him.

 

[The Oldtimer]

Going to Arbys.

Take Ingram with you.

 

[Mecca]

They'd most likely play Irving at SG, no? Crawford will be the 6th man.

As currently composed, the starting lineup is supposed to be....

Kat - C

Taj - pf

Wiggins - sf

Butler - sg

Teague -pg

Crossover is already the 6th man.

I guess they could bump Jimmy to 3 and put Irving at sg.

But, I like what they already have better.

With that being said, trading for the guy Jimmy most wants to play with is probably the easiest way to get him to sign an extension.

 

[Heatles84]

In fairness, there wasn't a ton of talent on those teams before Love and James returned.

His teams were beyond atrocious and didn't even sniff the playoffs.

 

[Heatles84]

In all seriousness, I'd like to see Irving in New York.\

FIFY

 

[Mecca]

I don't believe those comparisons between Ingram and KD. It's crazy talk.

Agree...way to soon for that.

But, he could work his way into that type of talent and you can see some similarities.

 

[Heatles84]

They aren't on his radar.

Doesn't really matter who's on Kyrie's radar. He's under contract until 2020. If Milwaukee were to present the best package to the Cavs, then Irving's likely going to be a Buck. Point being - Kyrie can have his list all he wants. Doesn't mean shit.

 

[Heatles84]

I'm not entirely convinced these reports are true, and even if they were I think Cavs fans are far more likely to forgive Kyrie since he played a big role in helping end the city's title drought.

@Mecca

Woj is literally reporting on this. Probably the most credible NBA reporter/insider in the world.

 

[Mecca]

His teams were beyond atrocious and didn't even sniff the playoffs.

But he sure can dribble.

 

[Hambombs]

Yes, Lawd!!!!

But, at the cost of Brogodon, Middleton and maybe Parker/Thon?

Ouch....

No way Middleton and Parker a pick at most. But want a Giannis, kyrie and Middleton core with thon

I want Curry to take his 200m and ring and retire immediately.

Here's hoping it works out for both of us....lol

lol Steph is making everyone scramble

 

[Mecca]

Some cold shit...lol

 

[DJ]

Again, he didn't have a lot of help.....no man can do it alone.

 

[DJ]

Some cold shit...lol

Vecsey is awesome. Loved him when he used to be on NBC back in the day.

 

[tlance]

Clarkson, Randle, Deng, and a 2024-2026 1st rounder.

Not even in the ballpark.

 

[DJ]

Not even in the ballpark.

Sorry.....Forgot to use the kidding font.
