Boston adds 2nd round pick to finalize the Kyrie Irving trade

[#1 pick]

Ain't to many teams willing to give up a top 5 pick for a "nut case" like cousins. Pelicans would be crazy not to jump on this trade and pair AD with porter or bagley

If the Pels trade Cousins, they might as well trade AD. They aren't trading Cousins. If he leaves, he leaves. Considering how close it's to Bama, Idk.

Pelicans don't know if that pick is going to be a 1 or 2 though. A team tanking in the West will has a worse record than one in the east. Nets have no reason to tank.

True, but I think that was based on pure talent in ISO basketball....Bron 1 on 1 or Kyrie 1 on 1 and kickin to k love or whoever else......if done well this offense may be better and may run sets better, that will be far more difficult for teams to defend than the obvious Bron Kyrie threat

The problem is Bron doesn't want to run an offense. He wants to dictate everything offensively like Chris Paul. Remember what happened when Blatt tried to run an offense he basically refused it.

But Bron will respect IT a whole lot more....simply for being a true point guard. Bron will be able to divert himself better now and be responsible for less.....this is actually good breh

This is what they brought D Will in for last year but D Will is way past prime....a nice IT and D Rose combo is a serious animal if they co-exist well

IT is not a point guard. He's done the same thing Kyrie has since joining the NBA. Look at the assist numbers. Last year he only played with one other playmaker.

If Rose can stay healthy this makes the Cavs deeper, which is more valuable than being slightly better at one position.

nikkas really think it better than Kyrie?

I wish I was the cavs g.m I'm sending T.T the nets pick shumpert and love to the pelicans for cousin and melo. Pelicans send there pick and love to the Knicks cavs starting 5 I.T Wade, bron, melo, cousins, Rose crowder and Jr coming off the bench can I fuking dream ????

Nah, it is way more of a team playmaker than Kyrie.....his assist numbers look the way they did because he had the cast he did in Boston ....he was the offense. Kyrie assist numbers looked the same with an allstar talented cast....that's the problem. Give iT a cast and see what he does with it....bet it will be more organic that what Kyrie was able to do.

We will have to see but I've seen IT play since his Kings days and he's always been this type of player. High screen and roll and score efficiently not worry about others. The Celtics system made it so that happened.

I still cannot believe this happened.
