Kyrie would poison our young core and ruin our cap space for next offseason Lakers are the only place that make sense
Bucher has the same level of credibility as Broussard IMO…Kyrie is so crazy, that u could make up anything about him, and it can’t be outright dismissed
wow, people would still actually be willing to have Kyrie on the Rockets… Kyrie wouldn’t make us a playoff team…he’s not built like that…he’s not that guy
I didn't even realize Derrick White is owed 51 mil over the next 3 seasons...yikes Brown with only 2 years left on his deal How good is that Boston package really?
Here's how I would rank the packages most discussed. 1. Scottie Barnes centered package. 2. Brandon Ingram centered package. 3. Jaylen Brown centered package IF he promises to resign. 4. Maxey centered package. 5. Jaylen Brown centered packaged if he DOESN'T promise to resign. 7. Paskal Siakam centered package. 8. Tyler Herro centered package. 9. Whatever crap the Suns can put together. I didn't list the Warriors because I just don't believe that is a possibility.
I have a hard time believing Barnes or Ingram will ever be on the table, so Philly might actually have the best offer atm a rising star in Maxey under team control for years to come Tobias is a terrible contract, but it's only for 2 years, and he is a good player who would help keep BK competitive I just don't know what pick package Philly could cobble together
GS could put together a package but so could we. I don't think that the Raptors come off Barnes. Ingram I could see depending on what you have to add
Maybe a better defender but otherwise Kyrie is miles better than KPJ in every way. I would even call it a draw in the mental instability department. KPJ's shenanigans don't get a lot of roundtable discussion because he isn't good enough and hasn't been on teams good enough but if he were anywhere in the ballpark as good as Kyrie he would be a very popular "hot take" object of derision similar to Kyrie now.
while i obviously agree that kpj is nowhere close to kyrie... this thread is now likely going to be taken over by our resident kpj deserves a max fanclub
Amongst the many things I've seen here on CF, the KPJ brigade is amongst the strangest. It's like if Omer Asik had a following that said he could be the next Yao Ming and is a better center than Gobert. I understood the Linsanity people, at least that kinda made sense.
I agree Kyrie is better than KPJ, but saying it isn't even close might be a stretch. Like there is just something off about Kyrie. He doesn't make any team better for a player of his caliber you would expect him to have a bigger impact on winning and losing. I always thought of him as anti-harden or the exact opposite of Harden. Harden game wasn't fun to watch and his style is very unorthodox. But you can't argue with the results as he could carry a bag of rocks to the playoffs and 50 wins. Kyrie on the other hand has a beautiful game. His handles are amazing and the way he can score from anywhere. But it almost seems like every team he goes to is worse. Doesn't really make much sense. Maybe it's cuz he doesn't pass or play defense. Or maybe it's cuz he's crazy.
