Kyrie for Delly the Jordan-Stopper, who says no
No team ever gets equal value back for a star demanding a trade. Unless they want to trade Lebron now too, getting useful pieces for what looks like Lebron's last year in Cleveland is the best they can hope for. It's better this than a platter of players you have to waive immediately.

LeBron needs Delly 🐐to win , let it be known
Best trade is Nets pick, Lakers pick, Crowder, Thomas for Kyrie
Ainge won't do it though because Nets will still suck this season
I did say those were three trades I could see being possible. No way Celtics make that trade.

Did you even read the whole article?
Even against the best scorers there is no way your shot contest is literally statistically useless unless you are really lazy defender.
If those trades are the best value they can get then the aren't trading him unless they get like a Billy King number of picks to go with it.

Wait what? I was told the Nets would make the playoffs this season...
I agree that not trading him is highly likely.
That's way too much. Remove at least one of those picks

Can't believe Kyrie hasn't been traded yet.

Players just drafted just signed and can't be traded until after 30 days.
So expect another month of this Kyrie vs LeBron shit.
Assuming the Cavs ask for an all star caliber player along with a young prospect that was just drafted.

Rushing to trade him would be a terrible move. Pacers rushed it with PG and got lowballed.
You need to hold out and hope people go on a bidding war and give you the best deal.
If they don't get a good deal until training camp though I really doubt they trade him. His value will just start plummeting as the season goes on and his contract gets closer to becoming an expiring one.
Keep him and hope you can get him to stay after Lebron inevitably leaves.

Those might legitimately be the worst trade proposals I've ever read.
Expectations need to be adjusted a little bit. Check out the Vince Carter trade sometime, which was a real trade.
Bullshit
I saw you and bionic back in the Tierre Brown days come up with much worse.
What could the Celtics give up to get Irving?

Danny, give up assets and make a trade for a star player?
C'mon Bread, you know better than that. He is gonna draft 4 players in the first round next year! (well, probably only 3)

Tierra Brown was a legitimate summer league super star though.

Bill Simmons posted a four team fake trade for Kyrie involving Milwaukee and it didn't include Greg Monroe.
Bill Simmons should fire Bill Simmons.

I don't see Kyrie being traded right away, if anything it will be right before the trade deadline because then all the players that got signed this off season will be eligible for trade. Which in return gives the Cavs way more options, just makes more sense than to just forcing something to happen
I actually thought the trade idea he posted a while back when this news first broke made a lot of sense for all sides. Basically:
Suns get Ntilikina and Frye's expiring
Knicks get Kyrie and Shump
Cavs get Melo and Bledsoe
Why would Suns do that?
Ninja Scooter

They have to really, really like Nkitilina for that to make any sense.
Because they are moving a player who isn't part of their future for a lottery pick who is a good fit with Devin Booker and actually fits their timeline.
Peter Ian Staker

Suns can get far better value for Bledsoe than that.
Ntilikina is nice for them but you have to add more to make this compelling for them.

Whoops, he meant to register as Mr Dnalevelc.

ESPN's Pablo Torre is saying that LeBron James is calling up 7 time wingman and new PHX VP of BB ops James Jones inquiring if Josh Jackson is available in a Kyrie trade.
Current answer is no.

Guys, Lebron won't have anything to do with the trade. Hands completely off. He's not the GM.

That sounds like a fake name Lebron would use to try and join the Warriors on the low

You can't spell Fake News without ESPN. When reports went out that Lebron wouldn't have anything to do with this I believed because he doesn't have an history of meddling with the FO or with the coaching or anything like that.

He'd sign as Bron Jim. No one would ever know.
From whom? There were rumors around the draft about Mudiay and the 13th for Bledsoe, which is roughly equivalent value if the Suns like Ntilikina.
Suns don't want Love anymore. He's outside our timeline and our office is in love with Bender.
Rumors is the key word. Before the draft, we weren't sure if JJ would be available but he fell to us. Ntilikina was never high on our radar and I don't think we ever worked him out. Bledsoe is worth more than that and that's not me overvaluing him. Mudiay is bad.
Hey James, didn't know you were on gaf, welcome. Where do you keep the 3 point trophy?
