5 (not so) crazy trade ideas for Kyrie

[Vyle203]

How in the world do you think that is a great trade for the Cavs? IT is a FA after next year and is essentially a shorter version of Kyrie with a weaker outside shot.

Crowder is a serviceable player under a good contract. He's more of a sweetener than a core part of a trade.

Unless that future 1st is the Nets or Lakers/Kings 1st, no way do I do that trade if I'm the Cavs.

No way I send a player who is basically the equivalent of Kyrie(more efficient last year, actually), plus a solid 2 way player on a great contract, and a potential top 5 pick in a very good draft to the Cavs for Kyrie.

I'd be fine with IT, Crowder and maybe a late 1st rounder just because of Irving's age and contract, but the Nets/Lakers picks should be way the hell off limits.

Yeah I doubt the Celtics would do that trade. And I doubt the Cavs would do the trade without that high 1st.

Not sure I'd want to trade Thomas for Irving if I was Boston though.

Yep.

It is one of those situations where a trade is highly unlikely. Neither side will pull the trigger unless it is a clear win for them. Just don't see either team getting desperate enough to give in to what the other wants.

Too much.

Doubtful the Celtics are in the running then. IT4 could very well be a rental and Crowder is a backup on the Cavs (to Lebron). That draft pick is most of the value in the trade. (Is it obvious that I don't value IT4 much, lol?)
