These brehs really think IT gonna sit out a year or be too butt hurt to play well
Breh already got cards stacked against him because he's a midget
He's gonna be all out trying to prove to everybody he's worth the money whether he's playing for Boston, Cleveland or some other team
Boston ain't giving the Cavs Brown/Tatum. THey are the future. Shiet, they probably won't be willing to give them Marcus either
If this shyt gets nixed, I see Ainge trying to go all in for Anthony Davis once the Pelicans season go to shyt
Celts got 60 mil committed to Al horford and Gordon Hayward
On the low, their best bet for competing for titles would be to dump them, keep their picks, and make a push later

they got kyrie for 2 more seasons if they dont trade him. So him and bron can get back to the finals and get swept then bron leaves then the team is kyrie's

I don't know why you guys give Kyrie a hard time for not being able to play well when LeBron sits. The whole fukking team is built around LeBron, not Kyrie.
Kyrie clearly cooked Klay
Kyrie guards Steph and actually gets stops
Steph guards Kyrie and he's begging for switches in the middle of the play
Kyrie scoring against 2 and 3 defenders
Steph doesn't face any pressure after adding Durant
Please cut it out
None of this is really true. The Cavs doubled Curry aggressively this past Finals as they've always done. Durant was the one getting 1on1 coverage and Irving the same because of LeBron. Curry is not guarded straight up while Irving usually is. That's the biggest difference between them.
Ya'all points per game tunnel vision fools drive me insane.
Talking like Pippen wasn't on the same level as Kyrie just cause of points? If anything, Pippen was far BETTER than Kyrie as a sidekick.
He did literally everything better except score. Better at running the offense, at rebounding, at individual defense and at team defense. And he was the #2 scorer too.
Pippen didn't get 30-point games often cause Jordan took 30 shots/game and that was the era where teams were averaging 90ppg. But he was even more important to his team's success.
How the hell you think Pippen made 7 All-NBA teams, including three straight 1st-team All-NBA selections during the Bulls' peak (not to mention 8 straight 1st-team All-Defensive selections and 10 All-Defensive teams overall) if he was in any way Kyrie's inferior?
They double Steph off the pick and roll
They not doubling Steph on isos and 30 ft from the basket like they did in 2015
Kyrie absolutely cooked Klay. What were y'all watching?

Cavs fans coming for Cowboys fans crown for most delusional fan base out there.
Sure they are. More bodies react to Curry than Irving because he's their primary focus defensively. That's why Lue called him the head of the snake.
As a ball handler in general he's gonna draw more attention, I mean I don't think the Cavs were leaving people wide open on purpose
In the process of making a video of all the possessions the Cavs gave up open looks because they doubled Curry. It's long
I thought Klay was great on Irving this year. Sure he's still gonna get his because he's a top isolation scorer but that doesn't mean he got cooked

DO U KNOW WHY THE THREAD ABOUT CAVS EXPLORING A VETO WAS DELETED? NOT EVEN MERGED..JUST FLAT OUT DELETED.
Trade will be voided then
That's just how you do negotiations - you start high and work to a compromise.
If the Cavs are saying Brown/Tatum and the Celtics are saying 2nd-round pick, then Cavs are probably actually shooting for some lesser player off the bench or maybe the Clippers' 1st-rounder that Boston owns. Maybe they'll get both second-rounders.
I agree with that. It's not just the fact that IT is sitting part of the year, he might not ever come back. If the injury is a serious issue then this trade isn't looking nearly as hot. And Boston is pretty screwed if IT says he don't want to play for Boston now, he's gonna be injured most of next year, and he ain't under contract after that...he doesn't have shyt for trade value anymore.
If he sits out the season he doesn't get the max. Boston moves on and has a near max slot next summer and 2 top 10 picks.
That's not a loss for Boston in my eyes
