    Kyrie would poison our young core and ruin our cap space for next offseason

    Lakers are the only place that make sense

    I think anyone would take Kyrie over KPJ but let's not have either. Both are problematic

    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

    Kyrie could not take a more talented Cavs team to playoffs.

    He really is not that guy.

    I certainly don't want him here but people also want KPJ who couldn't carry Kyries bags.

    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 :eek:

    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

    KPJ is a better defender, maybe better spot up shooter and arguably stabler mentally.

    KPJ isn't even close to Kyrie. That's one of the most ridiculous things I've read here

    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.

    Where would you rank Hawks John Collins trade package?

    Or Pacers Myles Turner trade package?

    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.
