the #1 pick has been sidelined with an injury.

I've been hearing a lot about smith jr.

I'm not talking about right now. Just in general going back to the beginning of Lavar.

Cavs about to sign D Rose

HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh jesus, Cavaliers. You think that's what's gonna keep LeBron James in Clevleand? Adding that goddamn disgruntled space cadet?

Well this oughta be fun....

He might actually be a really good bench addition.

Yeah, I'm sure the career ball-stopper and volume scorer who's outside shot has fallen to hell and who needs to occupy the same space as LeBron and Irving will be a great addition.

Oh, and did I mention that he's a soft bitch who has gone from figuratively quitting on his team by refusing to play after being medically cleared, to literally quitting on his team by just...going to hang with his mom for a week mid-season without telling anyone he was going to do it.

Rose should just get sent so some shit team that's not trying to compete so he can chuck up shots with abandon. Y'know, like the Knicks.

Derrick Rose is terrible.

Jesus, guys. He averaged 18 PPG on .471 shooting last year and made 87 percent of his free throws.

I think he's the perfect guy to bring the ball up the court when LeBron and Kyrie need a blow.

Harsh.

I agree. Definitely would not be a bad signing...

Enough to beat the Warriors? Probably not if they can work out a team friendly deal I think the Cavs would be smart to do it.

They need another superstar to combat Draymond's monstrous 10 ppg/ 7 rpg average.

Derrick is a bitch. He was pretty damn good before his injury then he just became a soft bitch who quit caring and didn't even try to hide it

Shocked this was your take LMAO

I'm just glad this keeps him away from MIL and MIN.

Have only said the same thing for years. Rose has been awful since 2012. They've rather impressively found a way to downgrade on Deron.

Completely unrelated, but is Thon Maker going to be worth a damn? I didn't think he looked great in summer ball, but I didn't get to see that many games.

Probably not a bad idea to get one worked out now if you're the Wolves. Wiggins is currently the least valuable piece between him, KAT, and Butler, but the team might see the most improvement out of him from the Butler trade. He might start earning those Tracy McGrady comparisons this year, and at that point it'll be pretty important to have a deal already in place.

It is just a bad fit. They don't need more ball hog stat inflators. 2 was plefor.

I played against Mike in the Adidas Las Vegas tournament.

He really was a nice guy. Perhaps too nice.

Found this in a search about Maker. Pretty cool article:

Kyrie Irving has requested his trade from the Cavs

They don't really have a bunch of options. They already have the highest payroll in the league. LeBron made this bed, he's going to have to lie in it at least for this one year.
Posted via Mobile Device

Wow. Hilarious that the most hated of the big 3 will be the one who ends up staying.
Posted via Mobile Device

I was just about to come post this myself. Cavs won't have any chance at a championship next year if they trade Irving.

Cavs about shipped his ass out at the draft to Phoenix for Bledsoe in a 3 way deal to get Paul George.

wow

Haha

LMAO

Cavs gonna get booted out of the playoffs next year.

I bet the Suns would swap Bledsoe for him now.

I believe it was Bledsoe and the #4 pick.

The Cavs have less leverage now, even if it's only slightly less.

Not sure if you watched the Finals. The Cavs don't have a chance next year regardless.

Per Brian Windhorst

Kyrie Irving requests a trade from Cavs, sources told ESPN. LeBron James was blindsided and is disappointed:

Time to run again, Lebron...

Per Woj

Sources: In the Kyrie Irving meeting with Cavs, one of primary teams raised as a preferred trade destination for him: The San Antonio Spurs.

Yeah, LeBron will be in LA with Lonzo, C3 and PG in 2018. Raptors for 2018 Finals loss.

That's not a good fit
Posted via Mobile Device

Hell yeah.

Bye bye GS

Wow... 2 stat whores that won't share the ball LMAO

Is LeBron pushing this? He knows they have no shot vs GS with or without Kyrie and his plan to leave Cleveland for LA next year has been obvious for quite some time. If Kyrie leaves town before him, it certainly makes his inevitable move much more palatable/understandable (for those that care about that sort of thing).

Pau Gasol re signed with the Spurs for 3 years

No idea who this guy is but he has about 200,000 followers on twitter. Incarcerated Bob

**BREAKING NBA NEWS**
Source: #Knicks #Cavaliers in serious talks centered around Carmelo Anthony ' Kyrie Irving (Picks) +possible 3rd team

According to sources Kyrie wants to be traded to the Spurs, Knicks, Heat or T-Wolves

Cavs about to replace Kyrie with D Rose ������

They about to trade Kyrie for Melo and sign D Rose to play point guard

Yeah.. I'm sure he is pushing this as he starts to backside in his mid 30s. Nothing like a wasted year.

They had a puncher's chance. Depends on who they would get for Irving but I see them getting swept in the Finals if they even they make that far without him.

Koby Altman new Cavs GM

Always a freak injury away to.. like Leonard had.

'Cavs have no shot against GS'- KCC, 2016 playoffs

Enjoy being on a lottery team every year, Kyrie LMAO

But it's already a wasted year. There's nothing that can be done about that as long as these Warriors exist.

Like I said.. You can't guarantee they don't lose a key guy at some point. That's why they play the games.

Remember when GS added the #2 player in basketball and lost one game all playoffs? It's still the same team.

Would need to be two key guys including one of Durant/Curry. Not happening.

Lebron/Kyrie/Love

Durant/Curry/Thompson

Cle just needs a super weapon to combat Draymond's monstrous 10 ppg/7rpg average.

They could use a DPOY quality player, yeah.

As he uses all of that defensive prowess on Tristan Thompson LMAO

Whether LeBron is pushing this or not, it will make his move to LA look much better. The best case scenario would be the Cavs trading him away right now to keep Kyrie long-term, but it is hard to imagine that.

and LeBron and Love and Kyrie...

Lebron probably has a no trade clause

He has trouble with good post up players.

'Too short to guard good post up players'- Van Gundy

You just watched the same thing I did. ROFL

Per Ramona Shelbourne

Remember when Kobe asked for a trade? That was in May. It never happened. He came to training camp and went to three more Finals

He does.

He does. He would only go if he wanted to, but it would only be a one year stop anyway.

So is it that Draymond isn't valuable or is it that he has no value against the Cavs? Either is crazy.

PTI?

Unless its the Lakers.

He's a great defensive help teammate. I've never denied this.

His 1-on-1 defense ain't so great.

But to say he's the deciding factor that sets these teams so far apart is laughable. Especially considering his offensive production/turnovers.

ROFL. Its on in the background in the office. you typed it basically word for word

Clay Travis has been saying trade LeBron for a while now.

your basketball takes are terrible

Lebron homer

Cavs had a coach that could coach a defense good enough to offset a player like Draymond. LeBron got him fired. His fault.
Posted via Mobile Device

They were talking about what the best case scenario for LeBron? Because that's what I was talking about.

I feel like this has more to do with Kyrie not knowing where Lebron is going next year than anything. He doesn't want to be left high and dry with Love

This coach sounds like a miracle worker. Where does he coach now in the NBA?

Cavs in talks with Knicks/Suns in 3 team deal. Melo/Bledsoe/2018 1st to CLE. Kyrie/Shump to NY. Frye/Ntilinka to Suns. (Per Yahoo)
