    I’d honestly rather give up Kyrie than all the depth if I’m BK...Kyrie is just too crazy, and he won’t like being the 3rd wheel

    What’s stopping him from pulling some other weird stunt out of the blue in the future?

    At this point I am all about trading James and PJ to Philly for Simmons (plus Thybulle and Maxey?) and then flipping Simmons to a team like ATL for some of their youngsters or trading James to Toronto for Siakam and Anunoby and flipping Siakam to Denver for Porter.

    Levert + Prince will work from the salary standpoint + the 7 picks. Wonder if nets will include allen if theyre offering 7 f’ing picks

    Kyrie should not be in any return, he’s a negative asset to this team.
    Send him to another team for young players.

    I will take Brooklyn's picks and Simmons (don't really want, but w.e.), Philly gets Kyrie, Brooklyn gets Harden.

    I don't understand why the Heat would want Kyrie. He is just a strange individual and I don't know if even Pat Riley could get through to him.

    Wait I thought his value went down after last night? I thought it was down to a cheeseburger? This can’t be right.

    Kyrie probably can't be reached to confirm he will play for Miami. He is sailing off the side of the world with no cell service.

    will anyone trade for kyrie? is he awol like "send me somewhere else" or awol like "i'm crazy". would miami hope he won't flake out again? my dream is kyrie just agrees to retire after a trade and we finish bottom 4 and don't lose our pick.


    also people, this is why harden did what he did. rockets tried to prolong this. harden made them uncomfortable. turns out they weren't willing to get uncomfortable. now we're getting a trade and hopefully all the suitors realize it's put up or shut up time and we see what offers we get.

    Who the hell wants to take a chance on Kyrie?

    Wants out of Cleveland/away from LeBron, gets “his” team in Boston.
    “I’m gonna re-sign in Boston” ... leaves Boston.
    Hand picks his destination with his friend KD ... goes AWOL a few weeks into the season.

    This is not “We think our culture can fix him” or “We don’t care he’s expiring(he’s not), we’ll roll the dice and take a chance.”

    Like does he want to play basketball? Whether it’s Houston or some other team, is he gonna report? Report and go AWOL again?

    You upgrade and keep your depth win/win for them.

    Riley hasn't developed dementia yet to accept Kyrie.

    If Kyrie is rerouted it would be to a desperate team without a star. Hornets, Orlando etc.
