Kyrie to Boston rumors heating up. Deal nearly complete

[BigKen]

Here's the big thing.........

If the Brooklyn pick is #1 and the LA pick is #2 and the Cavs back out, and the Celtics use the picks and draft the next Russell Westbrook and 6'9" Michael Jordan and the Cavs deal off Kyrie and watch Lebron walk off to LA, how will ticket sales be in Cleveland next year??

 

[BigKen]

And what if Zizic is the next Jabbar??

 

[WiggyRuss]

That is almost as great as the famous chewbacca defense!

whats the chewbacca defense?

true

but what if the pick is #5...Thomas has surgery on his hip because it wont stay healthy after some contact....and LeBron leaves...

at least if you bring in Bledsoe and Middleton you have a helluva team to try and get LeBron to resign for another year or two--- and if he leaves after ethat--- hey--- thats cool

The Celtics only chance at a title is in the hands of a rookie gm walking away from raping Danny ainge in his first deal....not an ideal scenario

Wait..so....you do or don't like the trade?

There are 5 legitimate studs in this draft, arguably 6 depending on how you view Bridges.

Tatum would be mocked at no higher than 6 in next year's draft.

Of course he hates the trade.

 

[Vyle203]

Of course he hates the trade.

It was a joke.

[tlance]

Why does Michael hate Toby so much?

 

[clemtheslowson]

It was a joke.

He still hates the trade.

He hates the Patriots, so what sort of reprehensible person do you think he is.

 

[trojanfan12]

Another rumor I heard last night was that Kyrie said he will not report to Cleveland if he doesn't get traded

Dear Lord,

I don't really ever ask you for much, especially re: sports. But please, don't let this trade go through. I'd really like the entertainment that will follow

Amen

 

[trojanfan12]

I've been hearing his sentiment a lot lately. Are you NBAers assholes or something?

Does it concern you that you fit in so well here?

Bleacher Report:

IT, "I am not damaged, I will be the same player"

"Cavs NOT seeking another player or High Draft Pick in Irving trade"

 

[The Q]

He still hates the trade.

He hates the Patriots, so what sort of reprehensible person do you think he is.

someone who values integrity and class.

Not a douche bag saying #Free Brady....free him from what?

The truth?

Justice?

Actually being treated like any other player and not given a pass because he's a star?

Judging from your posts, I call bullshit on this.

You sir, come across as a royal douche.

Lol. Nah, I acknowledge and embrace my assholiness.

A lot of headlines twisted it into that, but here's what that (anonymous) source actually said...
"Irving let it be known that he would rather not report to training camp"

Could you imagine a player at the peak of his career saying "I know I'm under contract and I've been to 3 straight NBA Finals -- and won one NBA Championship. But I'm refusing to play for the next 2 years while I'm under contract because 'I want to be the man' for a franchise -- and since I'm playing with one of the top 2 players in NBA history -- I'm not the man so I'm sitting out."

I don't think that is happening.
