    I would still keep Kyrie. Trade him once LeBron leaves.

    There's no way they trade Kyrie and get better. The question is how well will Kyrie play if he's pissed about being there.

    I can see an argument for keeping him, but if they do they should still keep him after LeBron leaves. Unless you're saying trade him for draft picks after LeBron leaves.

    Did CNN report this?

    Irving is a key part of the Cavs. If they trade him Lebron goes too

    Suck it up

    Weird situation. He hates Lebron but everyone thinks Lebron is leaving so he demands a trade? Doesnt add up. I wouldn't be surprised if the Cavs leaked this and exaggerated the doesn't want to play with Lebron part.

    Possible because Cleveland knows James is gone next year anyway

    Cleveland has more to gain by blowing it up than Irving. Irving's value is what it is because he played with James

    Trade Kyrie to the Lakers for Ball and Ingram. Lakers would have to add salary but they've got a few bad contracts. Cavs take a step back this year but can sell Lebron on the future and oh yeah they block the Lakers from getting Lebron next year. The Lakers would have to feel really good about signing Lebron to turn that down so if they turn it down just trade Lebron and let Kyrie have the team.

    I should be a GM.

    That's more than I'd give up for Irving, even without the LeBron possibilities.

    That would be a terrible move for Magic.

    Irving is somewhat injury prone and he's not really a PG. He's a very good player, but he's a dumbass for wanting to leave LeBron.

    He could average 30, but he will never be the #1 guy from a true contender.

    Never underestimate a premadonna athletes ability to be epically fucking stupid.

    But Levar Ball and Lebron in the same city for even a year - hilarity ensues.

    Nothing different than a normal AAU tournament weekend in Seattle but still.

    Kylie's asking to get out because LBJ is 100% leaving and we know that when LBJ leaves a city he usually goes out with a whimper ...

    Kyrie's trying to get out before the ship sinks ... can't blame him for that ...

    Whether he thinks LBJ is a douche or not doesn't matter ... this is all about knowing that the Cavs aren't winning shit this year and looking out for his interests

    If the Cavs had any sense they would trade Bron and Kyrie for a Danny Ainge number of first round picks.

    Both will leave for nothing in return soon.

    It makes sense why Kyrie wants to leave. He is just in a shitty situation after this year when Lebron leaves and doesn't want to be stuck in a Jamesless Cleveland.

    I just don't know what team has the assets that Cleveland would want for him. Boston maybe? IT/Crowder + draft picks?

    I think him and Porzingis in NY would be an interesting dynamic/core to build around that could do some damage after the Lebron/Warriors era. Then again it's still the fucking Knicks.

    One thing I've always hated about LeBron is that he loves drama. I don't know whether that's because of him, the Kardashian blueprint of keeping your name in the news, or the hot take mentality of the media, but it's always something.

    Yea if most of the reports are true he is kind of being the immature bitch on this one. Seems like Kyrie did everything correctly in doing this in secrecy instead of throwing a tantrum. The media is probably exaggerating a bit like they always do with Lebron stories though.

    Depends who the story is from. Windhorst and a couple others only exist because they are LeBron's mouthpiece.
    Stephen A Smith. He said something like Lebron isn't mad that Kyrie wants to be traded, but mad that he is putting his name out there as the reason why.

    LBJ is a bitch ... its who he is

    15-20 years from now you won't be hearing about how great of a teammate LBJ was ...

    It's not like MJ was the greatest teammate in the world but nobody would ever say that MJ was a bitch

    If he's such a bitch then did KD need to go to GS?

    If he's such a bitch then why do players take pay cuts to ride his coat tails to the finals year after year?

    Kyrie is the real bitch. Wants a trade then refuses to agree to extend with ANY team?? That's bitchtastic my man! Kyrie took more shots than LeBron the past two years but that's not enough for him somehow.

    You could put LeBron with last year's D League champs and he'd take them at minimum to the playoffs (I'd wager conference finals).

    I'm a lifelong Blazers fan btw
