Sixers coming for that East crown... Lebron going to suck with just him and love... he going to the lakers... PG gone... Melo wants out.. Wade will retire soon.. Butler in the West now



Top 5 seed and top 1-2 in the next 2-3 years... book it
How bout they play a game together without being injured first?

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.

Really weird move

I guess he wants to be the man on his own team then play with Lebron

He can average 30 somewhere on his own team not make the playoffs and nobody will give a sh1t about him

nikkas really mentioning teams like the Spurs, Wolves & Bucks when he said he wants his own team. :dahell:

Boston/Clippers/Lakers would be the ideal situation for him. Big market teams he'd be the #1 option on.

Wait, so Kyrie wants out and doesn't want to play with James because he wants to be the top guy now even if that means playing on a lottery team again? :dead: at this development.

..i could see if he was getting less minutes/shots/parts ..league is moving away from this type of 'macho' thinking but Kyrie is like :takedat:
