    Where is Ryan Anderson this summer? If this somehow doesn't go through, how is he going to come back to that locker room. He struggles at home for whatever reason, I don't think he is a gamer and I can see him getting worse because of all of this. Regardless if Melo comes, we need to move Ryno even if it comes at a high cost.

    Why would Melo want to go to a Cavs organization that seems to be in complete disarray?
    Lebron left once. He is going to again. Your PG wants a trade. This is after they went to the finals 3 years in a row. Imagine once they start losing again.

    No joke. I've grown to like Cleveland as they were the only chance to beat the Warriors and would've loved to see Paul George on that team. Kyrie absolutely f*cked them - i don't think they can trade him until the deadline and get equal return.

    Ridiculous. Chris Paul wouldn't have chosen to go to Cleveland to play with Lebron without a commitment. He came to Houston to get a long term deal here. Paul opted in to do a trade with Houston, it isn't like the Clippers could have "picked" Kyrie Irving as their return.

    Also, the Pacers didn't want Kevin Love for Paul George.

    When they lost in the finals, these other players took it on the chin, went back to their team full of HALL OF FAME STARS in their primes, and won. They didn't win next year because they ran a few more wind sprints in August - they won because when you're on an all time great team for most of a decade, you'll win a championship or two.

    Same. I'm bringing running through scenarios all afternoon and the only way they could get an equal player would be flipping him for Demarcus- and even then I don't know how the fit would work

    Isn't he on vacation with his wife?

    But knowing Morley he probably isn't even married, he rented a wife and made up this whole anniversary thing to get him off the grid.

    He could be anywhere..

    But they would've taken 2 years of Kyrie Irving over Oladipo and Sabonis.

    That isn't what the post suggested. They probably could have traded Kyrie for Paul George. That post said CP3 for Kyrie, Paul George for Kevin Love.

    Miami had Bosh, Wade & Lebron. Idc any reason why he'd leave there. Wade wasnt totally washed up & Miami still had a decent roster. Just bc you lose in the finals doesnt mean you gotta change teams every few years

    LMAO, classic revisionists these yuckers. Good ole classic Windy!!!

    And if OKC hadn't traded Harden the Golden State super team would have never existed.
