Kyrie Irving requesting trade out of Cleveland to find bigger role

They keep Kyrie's scoring prowess (approximately) and they get that Nets pick (which, knowing the Nets, will be high).

And lets give Crowder his due, dude is a good role player.
Fam IT is overrated as hell and didn't have to play with a ball dominant player like LeBron last year. If anybody expects to see the same Dude they saw last year they are fooling themselves and Kyrie might just be better in Boston. Kyrie >>> IT in every category and it's not even close...
 
Even tho it's over for the Cavs they clearly won that trade off BK's pick

Bron still leaving tho :lol:

It's over... GS sent the Cavs to the bushes

Dwade better not even think about joining the Cavs this year especially if he get that buyout

That's all that matters at the end of the day. This package isn't keeping Lebron in Cleveland.

and they might have just traded Kyrie for a one year rental and a top three draft pick

Cleveland is probably going full rebuild mode next year. They've been getting rid of all their draft picks since getting Lebron.

Plus he's coming off an injury, that they won't know about until training camp. And speed is everything to him.

how you gonna make this argument when 3 months ago he just got lil bro'd by wall and then Kyrie lil bro'd him into faking an injury lol

Man people are gonna realize sooner or later that LeBron is not a good teammate for that type of player. Dude is gonna be a C level player for them next year basically spitting up for shots that get blocked and fucking up their defensive rotations. Anybody thinking adding him is a good idea is fooling themselves
 
Isaiah is a ball dominant chucker who has a Napoleon Complex

Can he play off the ball?

And their bench didn't get any better, because Crowder isn't a scorer. He can spell Lebron and let Isaiah chuck for 5-10 minutes a game.

They probably need to go ahead and try and trade Love
 
DAMN! I really thought IT had a home in Boston.

NO loyalty in those front offices yet they expect players to commit and take pay cuts "for the team"

All the marketing around him in Boston and loving Boston...the second they could get a better player it's *peace out*
THeres no pay cuts in NBA fam

Go back to lurking

I agree that Kyrie is better then IT.

IT will have to do more catch and shoot but I dont see why he couldnt adjust to that. Just like Lebron let Kyrie handle the ball more then he did, Lebron will share with IT. By the way, the gap between Lebron and Hayward is bigger then the gap between Kyrie and IT.

The Celtics have no one to guard IT, Love or Lebron.

You tell me what makes the Celtics better then the Cavs.
 
WTF?

We were talking about the Nets 2018 draft pick.

Read up before you talk dude.

WTF are you talking about. You act like Boston gave up a lot.

Lebron is gone after this year

They got a draft pick

and the right to pay a 5'8 player 30+ mil

No player in this draft, Bagley, Porter or Ayton is going to be as good as Lebron....not even close...bottom line

And they didn't get better THIS year. The one that counts.

So what the fuck did Boston give up? If anything it helped them with a tough decision of letting Isaiah go.
 
Thomas/Rose/Kay
Smith/Korver/Shum
Lebron/Crowder/Jefferson
Love/Fyre/Williams
TT/Walter/


That's a solid lineup...

I think Thomas could actually be better...that's some scoring around him vs what Boston put out there...

Marcus Smart is a good defensive player

They also have Terry Rozier

Lebron? Jaylen Brown But nobody can guard Lebron anyway.

Kevin Love? You serious? Marcus Morris and Horford
 
Rigggghttt yet against these same top PGs he always roasting the fuck out of them..

Which way u want it?

That's my point fam. They guard him, but he doesn't guard them.

Facts is just facts. Steph was guarding JR Smith most of the finals.
 
That was a joke
However him getting lil bro'd by Wall and Kyrie is no joke.

Fam him and Wall both had their moments in the series.

Regardless, you know how good Wall is?

Ive seen him son Kyrie too.

Hell Ive seen Jeff Teague son Kyrie.

The Cavs werent gonna get a player as good as Kyrie in a trade anyway.
 
Cavs got a decent haul, but they need to hope that pick gets them a superstar to replace LeBron after he bounces.

Wow your post is so full of nonsense i dont even know where to start.

1. Duh, no player from the 2018 draft will be as good as Lebron. Thanks Nostradamus.

2. High draft picks do have alot of value. Just look at Phoenix who basically said no to Kyrie for Bledsoe and a high draft pick.

3. The Cavs dont have to keep Isiah long term either. This deal does keep in the finals for the upcoming season.

4. This topic is about the specific trade, not if Lebron stays long term.
 
Man.. that Nets pick is probably gonna be a top 5 pick. That's a haul considering the deal season was over and you know Cleveland HAS to make a deal. Under the circumstances, the cavs did well.
Until that draft pick is determine, and who knows what player is gonna be available with that pick, in terms of the actual players exchanged Cleveland took a major loss with this trade plus when they do make that pick LeBron is gonna be long gone so your stuck with an overrated 5-9 overpaid player and a bunch of supplemental pieces while the Celtics just picked up arguably a top 3 PG, 25 years old and still in his prime. The Celtics won this trade easily, especially with the young core of talent they already have.

You're another Brown Turd of basketball :smh:

Everything is about if Lebron stays you fucking moron

That's the only way they're a good team

A bag of beans could get them to the NBA finals in the east, that doesn't mean shit. They aren't better than they were last year and it doesn't put them in any better position against the Warriors.

He's full on troll mode because he can't get over the fact that they got IT AND the Nets pick (which in my opinion will probably be the 1st pick overall).

I'm the football guy and Kyrie just might be a future MVP but that is too much for someone who is injury prone. That first round pick is a win-win and the "hators" know this.
 
Essentially it does if IT can't make adjustments and they meet in the finals. The Celtics to me are more loaded with consistent offense at this point than the Cavs are.

The only problem I have with the Celtics is they gave up too much for Hayward. They lost a lot of depth.

And the one position of depth, is the one Hayward plays....Tatum and Brown
