Kyrie Irving to Celtics? LeBron Laker bound?
« on: August 22, 2017, 07:03:03 PM »
Looks like this Kyrie Irving trade for Isaiah Thomas might happen. I would never trade a 6'3" guy away for a 5'9" guy but whatever...

Cavs are done or no? How long does LeBron stay?

I think the Brooklyn pick was the big prize here, but they should have been able to get more for Kyrie.

I think the thought that LBJ is gone after this year, he still dislikes Gilbert and supposedly that is the biggest issue with him staying in Cleveland

There must have truly been a chemistry issue going on there. Kyrie didn't want to get stuck in Cleveland after LeBron left I suppose. When LeBron starts really showing his age here in a year or two his game will drop terribly.

I disagree I think Cleveland got the better deal.

Isiah Thomas > Kyri

IMO

Shaq and Kobe part II. 

Very strange behavior, but these egos must be HUGE!  Kyrie is upset he didn't get all NBA recognition, and his finals showing were an all time great demonstration of finishing at the basket and big shots made. He may see the writing on the wall with LeBron leaving but you'd think you'd ride this team out and get the chips while you can.

I'm not sold he's the next Kobe (comparatively speaking) with his injury history and being only 6'3, although height matters less than ever.

LeBron been durable unlike anyone else before him (except for maybe Kareem :/) and I'm sure the drop off will be steep but his skill and size will help.

I disagree I think Cleveland got the better deal.

IMO

Isn't the concern IT may not fully recover from the hip injury? Its only a great deal if the pick pans out.


Fun stuff to watch though.

Only in Cleveland could they trade away both Wiggins and Irving, but they did get the ring. Celtics have Ainge who has been working a deep draft backlog of young talent. It has to look better in the long term for Kyrie...

Lebron said he wants to be in LA and everyone thinks the Lakers.  He won't go there.  he'll do the Clippers.  Lebron is friends with Balmer.  lebron wants to win a championship for the saddest team outside of Cleveland which is the Clippers.  Winning for the Lakers will do shit for his legacy but getting the Clips one will.

I like what you're saying but the only problem is Chris Paul left. He and LeBron are close. If Paul thought LeBron was coming to the Clips he would have stayed because they want to play on the same team.



Scratch that, LeBron and Wade are close too and Wade didn't know he was going back to Cleveland until it was a done deal.

If LeBron got the Clippers a championship......

Ainge blew it!!!!

You have four perennial hall of famers that hit the market.  CP, Paul George, Jimmy Butler, and Kyrie Irving.  Kyrie being the worst of all four and they gave away more for him than the other 3.

Jimmy Butler HOF...haha. Ainge is doing just fine. If LeBron goes to the Clippers it's to become an owner like Jordan.

Are you serious?  He's actually the better of all four. I'd put him top 5 in two way players in the league.  Irving is a terrible defender.

He's only had 3 seasons over 20 PPG so far. Slow it down with the HOF stuff.

The Clippers are owned by Balmer who's worth over $20 Billion.  he's not shilling out partnerships to anyone.
Lebron wants to move to LA because his kids going to school out there and he wants to be close.

He's build a mansion in Watts. He thinks he's a star and wants to be in movies real bad so he'll live among the Jews of LA.  He'll think they're his friend but really they'll just use him to make money.
