Well I meant given the circumstances of the trade request and everything else, a potential top 5 pick and solid starter isn't something to sneeze at. But I do get what you're saying. What I was mostly referring to was how essential IT is to this trade and his health going forward. I wasn't saying that Cleveland should consider the deal without him.
My bad, I see what you're saying and yeah, I agree.
I think the Cavs can easily find someone to give them a top pick for Kyrie. And they can pretty easily find someone to give them solid players for Kyrie.
Finding both is where it gets really hard - and that's what this deal had. It just comes down to IT's health and whether he'll be able to help them this year or not.
