There you go. Cleveland needs to find a taker for Irving that can give them pieces to keep LBJ happy longterm.

Was just getting ready to post this.

Man, this is crazy. Does Cleveland even make it to the season with the big 3 intact?

With everything surrounding the Cavs right now, it seriously makes you wonder whether Danny should inquire about nabbing Lebron, who at this point looks good as gone next year anyways.

I mean, neither Lebron nor Kyrie has a no-trade clause, and with how things look now it's unlikely that either of them will be Cavs next year. At this point, why not trade both of them and stockpile the mountain of assets that you could get for them?

Lebron would be a pretty ideal fit at the 4 for us, and I'm sure Danny would give up quite a few of his top assets for him.

I'm curious how this will go. It's not an issue of money. It's not an issue of team quality. It seems to be an issue of hierarchy. Irving wants to be the guy, which is kind of humorous considering they would be in the lottery ever year had James not returned.

Personally, I think it is good news for Cleveland.

I didn't like how reluctant Cleveland were to put Kyrie on the trade block. I think he makes much more sense to move than K-Love especially given how low Love's value appears to be. Good chance Cleveland can upgrade their team by trading Kyrie.

They should have offered Kyrie for Paul George. That would have been a big upgrade for Cleveland and much better than anyone else was offering for George.

Celtics on their way to taking over the East  8)



In all seriousness though, we'll see how overrated Kyrie is. Great player, but NOT a superstar. People seem to forget that the Cavs team with him as the "leader" and alpha was a 25-win team at best.

Looking clear Irving and/or James are gone after next season (maybe both?)

IDK seems LBJ will just head to the Lakers next summer anyway. Especially if the team implodes and he's playing with Love and a bunch of scrubs/mid-first rookies next year. I don't think Irving will fetch a huge haul.

If Irving is absolutely determined to leave, it probably makes sense for the Cavs to move LBJ and Love now for every young stud and draft pick they can..
