the city was fucking cursed
Man.. no one is trading a 25 year old star for a 33 year old.
lebron, melo, love, drose..what could go wrong with that lineup
lots of things..come on make that trade melo for kyrie...the people wanted the deadly duo of melo and bron now is the time to make it happen
Also wanted to say Kyrie can’t carry no team. He tried already. And failed. Miserably
Dont know who the hoe is but i know who is full of shit.. YOU.
Prime Shaq>>>>>>>>> all combined players Bron has ever played with.
Like the four years it took him in Memphis?
You can't have it both ways
Either the Lakers would have done a minor rebuild and played him like Memphis or they would have played him and traded him
and as you see with George and Butler, you don't get much in trading a star...and Memphis got a future all star and someone who's jersey they'll retire
So give up that bullshit Marc Gasol argument
Yes. Just like that actually.
just got off the phone w/ la la...melo will be on the rockets before the end of the week
Kobe with a prime shaq >>>>>>>
I coulda been Kobe from 1999-2003 winning rings
I coulda been Kobe from 1999-2003 winning rings
Kobe from 2011-2016 = grant hill on the magicKobe in 2011-2016 = Sam Bowie in Portland
Mofo sent Buss to his grave with that bullshit contract they gave him to wear suits and win 20 games them last 4 years. Lakers fans hyped bout summer league games after what they been thru this decade.
Look at this shit....granted sas supposedly talked to people in James circle...
Report: LeBron James eager for Kyrie Irving to be traded
LeBron James reportedly wants to fight Kyrie Irving over the guard’s trade request.
But sometimes, people continue to work with those whom they dislike. LeBron partnered with Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert again and again, after all.
Might LeBron realize keeping Irving is Cleveland’s best chance to win another title? Could LeBron put personal feelings aside in that pursuit?
Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com:
Irving has asked for a trade and James is eager to see him off.
This might explain why the Cavs appear so gung-ho about moving Irving. LeBron usually gets what he wants in Cleveland, especially in a contract year.
It’s not too late for LeBron and Irving to reconcile until a trade is completed, but with LeBron welcoming Derrick Rose, they just move further from that possibility.
Celtics forward asks Irving not to join Warriors
Despite the list, new Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris is worried that Irving may join the Golden State Warriors, who recently won their second NBA title in three years. “Just don’t go to Golden State,” Morris tweeted Friday. Before last season, the Warriors acquired Kevin Durant from the free-agent market, turning them into a stronger team. With Durant leading the way, the Warriors defeated the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals in five games.
The Celtics, for their part, have beefed up in the offseason by signing Gordon Hayward from the free-agent market. They also acquired Morris after trading point guard Avery Bradley to the Detroit Pistons. The Celtics are also planning to trade for New Orleans Pelicans center Anthony Davis if his partnership with DeMarcus Cousins fails this season.

No one is trading a 25 year old star for a 33 year old straight up. It's not going to happen.
Add a young player and a protected pick and it would happen...but melo is bend on going to the rockets I guess winning there and not riding Bron's tail if he don't have to is better.
It would mean more to the talking heads to win in htown with Mike Dantoni where CP3 & the beard haven't won a title yet. Lebron gets there often and have won a few...so it would just look like took the easy road....
nope. Kyrie is too good to take a shitty deal like that. They don't just need a "young" player. They need another young star back or potential star plus more. Lebron is on a one year... Melo ain't signing a long-term deal.. Rose is on a one year... they aren't giving away Kyrie (when he's signed to a long term deal) for no stability... you can get way more than Melo and throw away player for Kyrie.
Man I know all that shit, I was just consigning you about kyrie for melo straight up.....the suns trade probably is the best I've seen at this point(bleeps and Josh Johnson)....unless you get a player like Wall,Westbrook,Anthony Davis straight up...
Sam Amico: Sadly, Cavs must move on from Kyrie
Kyrie Irving told reporters at the All-Star Game in February that the Earth is flat.
Bizarre.
Later, Irving said he was merely trying to make a point, though that point was never made clear.
Weird.
During an interview last week, Irving said something about buying some farm land and starting his own community.
Strange.
A few days after that came the shocker of a report that Irving has asked the Cleveland Cavaliers to trade him.
Seriously. He reportedly wants out.
This after three straight trips to the Finals. This after teaming up with LeBron James and Kevin Love to form the baddest Big Three in all the East. This after hitting the most crucial 3-pointer in franchise history — in Game 7 of the 2016 Finals to defeat the Golden State Warriors.
Why would Irving want out?
Get this: Because of James.
Honest. That’s what is being reported. Irving has grown tired of playing alongside a man who has won three titles and reached seven straight Finals. Seven straight. And Kyrie has been a part of three of them.
It used to be that players wanted a trade when things weren’t going well. Their teams stunk, they weren’t getting enough shots, or even in these days of huge money, they didn’t like their contracts.
Irving has played for a constant contender, led the Cavs in shots attempted, and has three years and around $60 million left on his current deal.
All the boxes are wonderfully checked.
Unless you’re Irving — and his reported reasons for wanting to leave make no sense. Then again, for about the past three months, making much sense hasn’t been Irving’s strong suit.
MIXED SIGNALS
For better or worse, today’s NBA world has been dominated by stars wanting to hook up with other stars. LeBron left for Miami. Kevin Durant went from Oklahoma City to Golden State. On and on it goes.
But Irving? Well, he wants LESS star power. He doesn’t want to be in LeBron’s shadow. He wants to run his own team. He wants to be The Man.
At least, that’s what the reports say.
And if it is none of those things, then Irving wants to join players he considers his friends — even at the cost of competing for championships.
Basically, Kyrie apparently wants to get away from LeBron and the Cavs so badly, he’s willing to lose.
Considering Irving supposedly included New York and Miami on his wish list of next destinations, well, that statement really isn’t so far-fetched.
MAKE THE CALL
Some of this could, in a strange way, be good news for Cavs fans.
Some of this could mean that James is planning to stay for the long haul, beyond free agency in 2018, and Irving knows it.
After all, why else would Irving leave? If he truly wants a team to call his own, couldn’t he just wait a year, until LeBron bolts? The Cavs would be Irving’s and Irving’s alone.
But if LeBron doesn’t leave … well, it will continue to be James’ team. And that is apparently something Irving can’t handle.
So owner Dan Gilbert, general-manager-in-waiting Koby Altman and the Cavs should consider all of this. They should consider that Irving wants winning to come easily, or not at all.
Irving doesn’t want anyone on the team to be a better player than him, or even his equal.
If you’re the Cavs, is that type of player you want? Are those the type of players you should put next to a winner such as James?
It’s not fair to James, it’s not fair to the franchise, and it’s not even fair to Irving. If winning isn’t the most important thing to him, then by all means, the Cavs need to move on.
They need to find the best deal sometime between now and training camp, pull the trigger, and as sad as it may be, say goodbye to Irving.
With James as its leader, this team can still be all about winning, and winning a lot. And frankly, anyone who wants it to be about something else needs to go.

A lot of you Kobe haters need to go back and look at the terror Kobe put on teams in the playoffs for the last 2 of the three peat. Snaq got in shape for one season and balled out. Who did he play in the finals? Dikembe? That gay ass ninja in New Jersey? Rick Smitts? Lmao. Stop the hate. Cry me just don't want to end up like Kobe with a team full of old ninjas and bums once Bronze bounces on his "homies" like he always does.
So this coon drops a "supposed" quote...
from an unnamed source
SAS is MAD that Lebron said he NEVER threatened to "beat Kyrie ass"
SAS this is why you got FIRED in Philly
Lebron has a RIGHT to respond in kind
cause he DID NOT say that
but you REPORTED it as such.
And NONE of you co-workers (who were quick to name)
reported or co signed it.
That tells you something.
Sometimes you need something call wisdom decorum and class.
Look it up
Cause saying a BLACK MAN gonna kick ANOTHER Black man's ass is NOT responsible
Cause this long as speech you giving NOW?
you aint say all that BEFORE...
just like when you attacked KD and Johnathon Vilma.
Tobe stans say the darnd'est things.
damn
this coon REALLY like threatening Black men from safely behind a ESPN microphone.
this coon REALLY like threatening Black men from safely behind a ESPN microphone.
Yeah thats just something you cant do to your brothers.
SAS went way too far and is gonna have to back off that statement.
Oh he on the radio RIGHT NOW doubling down.
So he just think he gonna diss all these stars with NO repercussions?
Yeah...
OK
damn...
this coon ALREADY walking it back
now he blaming the PUBLIC for thanking it literally
and stereotyping Black Man...
this coon crazy.
this coon ALREADY walking it back
now he blaming the PUBLIC for thanking it literally
and stereotyping Black Man...
this coon crazy.
Screamin A going at him about the Mavs finals choke job now..
I heard that!!!!
He said I aint NEVER saidd nothing negative that wasn't true or for journalistic purposes...
But he NEVER EVER mentioned threatening KD and calling him a coward though.
Or FALSELY accusing J. Vilma to the point of SLANDER?
Or IGNORANTLY shitting on Kaep?
Or under reporting the racial epithet spray painted on Lebron door?
Hell I remember he went after Steph Curry's wife too on some ole bullshit?
And NOW he salty ALL those players REFUSE to talk with him?
Man you smoking that good. People STILL high off Cleveland winning the NBA title that's why alot of people like fuck Kyrie. LA is a high market and bringing a hall of fame coach in helps alot.
