To repeat myself, I love the color that Kyrie brings to the team. Who else randomly drops Teddy Roosevelt quotes?
Love the quote.
When will you be on board with the Kyrie trade?
As I’ve said a few times, I like Kyrie as a player. His defensive commitment has been a pleasant surprise. However, I think we paid too much. My opinion on that won’t change until we see how IT comes back and where the Nets pick lands.
According to ESPN's Brian Windhorst, the Cavaliers are hoping to get the veteran point guard back on the court by mid-December.
The report noted that Thomas, who hasn't played in a game since injuring his right hip in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals last season, has started 3-on-3 work at practice.
I expect IT is going to come back and play very well. Maybe not quite like last season but very well. The Nets pick could luck into the top 3 but it is looking unlikely. Picks (particularly individual picks) are inherently risky. You don't know where the pick will land and the picking itself is a crap shoot for the most part.
I was fine with the trade from the start. Yes, we did overpay or so it will seem when IT comes back and tears it up but it will seem less so when he goes off and signs somewhere else. But in no way would I reverse this trade if I had the chance. We are better now and better positioned for the future.
And Kyrie has been better than I thought, both on the court and as a leader. His handling of these questions is another example. IT carried us last season well beyond what I would have imagined. Kyrie has made us even better (individually each player and as a team).
