Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
I mean, this isnt a PG situation

Kyrie is a free agent in 2019. Tough luck

I can see him getting traded next summer tho if Lebron leaves since the Cavs would most likely want to tank in that situation since Kyrie just makes them a fringe playoff team.


Nah they need to move him now, the Pacers could have gotten max return for George last summer but waited too long. You gotta remember he was still under contract for next season, the closer you get to the players FA the worse the offers get. In terms of timing they are where the Pacers were last year, 2 seasons left under contract. If LeBron leaves he'll be on a garbage team, and if LeBron stays he'll be in a situation he doesn't want to be on.


If the player in question isn't a top 5 player you gotta move them when they ask for a trade like this, there's no possible outcome that has him staying with the Cavs.
