    In my opinion neither. Gaining Melo while losing Irving is a lateral move, at the very best.

    What I was thinking if Cleveland dangles Kyrie. It would still be a big three so this kinda makes me nervous...

    Wow this can't be true...even if Lebron wants out wouldn't he wait till it actually happens which is next year, they're most likely going to be in the finals again this year in a weak eastern conference why would he leave that....CRAZY

    Man, he wants to be the star of a team.

    Philly? I mean think about it, they have plenty of tradeable assets?

    Cousins for Kyrie?

    Brogdan/Parker for Kyrie?

    Just spitballing off the top of the dome right now.

    Cleveland would be smart to call up Boston right now and grab all them assets.

    Best way for quick rebuild.

    If I'm boston, I'm not even sure Kyrie is better than IT. I hang up the phone on this one.

    Spurs?

    3 team deal that sends Melo and Tony Parker to Cavs, Kyrie, Frye, salary to Spurs, Aldridge to Knicks with Knicks getting picks?

    Memphis for Conley?

    Nuggets for Gary Harris, Jameer Nelson, Arthur and fillers?

    Bucks for Jabari Parker, Delladova?

    Kind of surprising. I wonder if they'll just say "no"

    Never been a big Kyrie fan. He's like Dame, the reason Cleveland won is that LBJ guy. A no defense, no passing PG is not going to cut it, the warriors are just different. Cleveland should trade him, trade Love, and get ready to return to the dumpster. LBJ is gone.

    The guy who thinks the world is flat doesn't want to play with LeBron and wants to be the #1 star of a team?


    Man, this guy gets it

    The Cavs have him under contract for the next three years.

    No way they let him go for anything other than fair or above fair value, especially since he's the only asset they'll have to use to start a rebuild when LBJ leaves.

    NOP makes a lot of sense, but not sure if there's a deal there. A DMC led deal, but not sure that helps the Cavs that much with Kyrie gone. Does a big 3 of Lebron/Love/DMC really challenge GSW? Doesn't seem like it.

    Does this mean Melo deal will be starting all over again, again?
