    Or it's Dan Gilbert giving the ultimate comic-sans font F-YOU to LeBron on his way out. Cutting off his nose to spite his face. Meanwhile, I love all of this. Dan Gilbert and LeBron in a lose-lose? Sign me up!

    lol, the only one who didn't watch his games is u, gimme a break

    now you're going from he's not a starter to u won't win a chip with him as your best player...stop moving the goalposts...

    u said that most teams have a PG just as good if not better than IT which is incredibly ridiculous, if u had actually seen him play and checked his stats u would realize that that isn't the case...

    Because he is leaving and giving the team heads up. Actually a honorable move on his part. Houston or LA for sure if this trade goes down.

    Kyrie wanted out in large part to have his own team. Now going to Boston, a team with two other max guys, a couple very high draft picks from the last year few years, and the ultimate team>individual coach. Not exactly what he drew up...

    Horrible trade for Cleveland. Thomas is not a championship point guard. LBJ is for sure gone if this goes down. Plus Thomas is going to be a FA next summer. Are they really ready to pay him his max?

    Makes sense that the Cavs want Tatum as well. IT would just be a year long rental. If they don't include Tatum then it's gotta be a high draft pick.

    Or not. Guess the Celtics don't value that BKN pick anymore, with Atlanta, Chicago and Indiana tanking hard.

    The only downside is now the Ringer will be unreadable...

    Which busty prospect will Cleveland choose next? ;)

    2011: 1-1 Kyrie Irving | 1-4 Tristan Thompson
    2012: 1-4 Dion Waiters
    2013: 1-1 Anthony Bennett
    2014: 1-1 Andrew Wiggins (--> Kevin Love)
