Kyrie to Boston rumors heating up. Deal nearly complete

Isiah is gonna be fucking pissed too.

Boston added Heyward, Tatum, and Irving (he's a better payer than IT).....scoring was their big issue in the postseason. Not now.

Look at what they lost.

Bradley and Thomas were the reason they excelled.

Both are gone.

This is a fair deal for both sides. Kyrie is an upgrade over IT but it will hurt them losing defensive depth with Crowder (especially against the Dubs). They still have the LA pick so they are still set up ok long term.

This is a fantastic get for the Cavs post Lebron. IT is basically 80% the player Kyrie is, you get his bird rights, a versitle player in Crowder, and the potential 1 pick that could be a franchise guy like Bagley. Plus you are still just as good as you were for this season.

A+ CLE
A- Bos

Honestly,

This is an F for Boston.

Kyrie is the same player as IT. He is better, but not by much and they do the same things. You give up Crowder and the Nets pick for a marginal upgrade? I get that Kyrie is under contract for 2 years, but they always had the option to keep IT.

Sorry, Kyrie simply isn't that much better. This doesn't make Boston any better today.

Boston is now the fave in the EC.

Wrong.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

oh God...

this hsould be interesting.

Ive never rooted for a team who is the favorite in their conference but also will be one of the favs for the #1 pick.....

Imagine somehow that pick comes through---the fucking value that it will hold will be immense...whether they keep it or deal it.

this will make for a bad ass rivarly though

lol.....Isiah and Kyrie will want to kill eachother....LeBron will be in a very foul mood as well i bet...

My brother just said the same thing. They basically cancel each other out. At most I would have maybe added Crowder

LeBron...

Bagley, Isiah, Love, TT, JR, Korver???

or Ball, Ingram, George, Deng, Randle, - i dont know who else they oculd afford if they brought in george and lebron- prob not much if anyhting.


easy.

 

[lebron23james]

We raped boston...

Yeah, I don't get it.

Kyrie is a slightly taller version of Thomas.

Unless Thomas has a long-term injury, why the duck would you give all that up for Kyrie, but not Butler?

 

[WiggyRuss]

Wrong.

I told him he misunderstood---- Kyrie was dealt- not LEBron....

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Boston might not be a lot better, but they are a little better.
Cleveland is a little worse.

And when it comes to fighting for the Eastern title, you have to beat Cleveland.
I like this for boston more than cleveland.

Lebron will be gone in 1 year, so the fucking draft picks dont do fuck for Cleveland.
They will be a lottery team in 2018-19 with a bunch of Lebron supporting castmates who are bad fits without him.

 

[WiggyRuss]

are you guys SURE thats the deal?

i dont believe that they got hte Nets pick- it makes no sense....

 

[lebron23james]

What a shit deal for Boston

It's about time boston got screwed over in a deal lol

 

[Mebert]

why not see where it comes in and trade it for a stud and have Thomas, LEBron, Love and Stud you get for a top 3 pick?

I mean shit- George would be a Celtic right now if Danny would have given them a top 3 pick. ????


I mean- i get what yo uare saying-- if LeBron leaves that jump starts the rebuild--- but if he stays trade it for a stud and resign Thomas.

and you have Crowder forever- who at the very least- if LeBron goes is a nice trade chip.

I mean--- id rather Kyrie not have been crazy---- but its hard for me to imagine the Cavs getting a better package than a guy who will replace 80% of his produciton- a 3 and D wing they badly needed on a long term cheap contract- and a guaranteed lotto pick.

If they pay for Thomas they won't be able to take on another stud. Nobody is taking all those bad contracts and sending a stud for a pick

 

[Black Adam]

Boston in this supposed deal is getting the better part of this deal. Kyrie is just as bad of a defender as IT, but he's much harder to guard. Crowder was expendable as soon as Boston got Heyward. He'll be a suitable replacement for Shumpert in the playoff rotation. It will be interesting to see which pick is given up to Cleveland though.

Totally agree with the first part of your statement especially. this trade, if it happens, somewhat narrows the gap between the Celtics and Cavs...

 

[BigKen]

IT will be 30 and Irving 25.
IT had a hip problem that kept him out of the playoffs.
Crowder is good....................not great.
This trade allows the Celtics to start Jalen Brown and tatum will get 20 minutes a game.

Brooklyn has improved and the pick may not be in the lottery. It could be the #1 pick.


Two possible scenarios......

Cleveland with IT, Crowder and Zizic supporting LBJ becomes a beast. They tear through the season and beat the Celtics in the Conference final. Move on and win the NBA title.

Boston finally has the scoring balance and rebounding they've lacked. Finish with the best record and beat Cleveland in the conference final. Take the Warriors to 7 and win or lose in OT.

Cleveland may be better than last year. The Celtics are certainly better than last year with heyward and Irving.

 

[The Derski]

Boston fans on Facebook.

"We want Golden State"

Lmao

 

[Kold]

fuck i actually have to root for the Lakers not to suck now and be better than the Nets...lol.

Remember how you rode Laker fans for going through lottery life, and we said something to the effect of it happens to every team? Well, if Lebron bounces on you guys again...
