Kyrie’s only Ieverage is if there are teams he could actually sign with as a free agent. Which would make BK take something rather than nothing
On paper currently there are none (only Detroit, Sacramento, and San Antonio have cap space), and by my estimation there’s only 3 teams who could both free up cal space and it’d make sense for him to sign with
1. Clippers: Morris-15M, kennard 13M, Reggie Jackson- 10M, Covington and Powell (not sure their eligible to be traded) at 13 and 15m. Sweetener for a younger team to take on a trade: Zubac at 7M
2. Mavs: Hardaway-21m, Dinwiidie 17M, Bertrans-16M, Powell-11M…Brunson S&T eligible
3. Knicks: Randle-21M, Fournier-17M, Rose-13M, Burks-9m, Kemba-8M. The sweetener is Randle who some teams may be interested in
1 of the teams with cap space could take on a trade and only give up a 2nd and/or even receieve a 1st for their trouble. Ie what do the spurs have better to do, it’d make sense for them to take a flyer on Randle and add Fournier. Same for Sacramento
But those are big ifs and there’s only a few teams that could facilitate. Plus who’s to say Kyrie even wants to go to Dallas, or that the Knicks even want kyrie. So if I’m BK I don’t budge and I call his bluff
