"Now, why would Chicago sign an aging point guard, when they have so many other young talented, ready to play now guards on their team already?"

I think Kyrie trade value is fukked and he gets a trade kicker too... Which is absurd. He just burned bridges with three NBA franchises. Excellent work of his agent after the exit in Boston.

Kawhi situation is completely different and he was not only a top 10 player, but he was the NBA's best two-way wing when healthy. Which is more valuable in today's NBA.

It's probably why they want a king's ransom for KD, because they got to take Kyrie to the Dollar General.

Even then though, Kawhi made it well aware that he wanted to go to LA. It just wasn't the LA that people originally thought. Toronto was willing to overlook that aspect and take the gamble and the Spurs were willing to accept the offer and not rebuild when it was better offers out there. Kyrie has made it known that he wants to go to LA, so you're going to be hard pressed to find teams willing to give up the picks/assets to get him as they wouldn't be able to replace him if they walk.

If you got a superstar player in their prime, you can't afford to take that gamble with Kyrie.

I'm tried of the precedent that Kawhi set with mercenary chip thinktank, because it's really a one of a kind situation that in no other circumstance would work.
