Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

I knew what was up when that report about Cavs players telling Jimmy Butler not to come to Cleveland came out.

You got a team with Lebron James, that's a guarantee NBA Finals trip every year, and it's players telling you NOT to come? They know what's up with next year and now Kyrie has as well.

Golden State got the whole league shook. Like they're 50 Cent and the rest of the NBA is Ja Rule back in 2002.

Light years remember

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

What stumps me is the "bigger role" comment. They literally let him do whatever he wants when he has the ball, LeBron included. The dude will try to cross his man 4 or 5 times before shooting and is likely the league leader in half court dribbles. He's one of only like 4 players to take 20 shots a night last year. How much more usage can you possibly get when all you're a threat to do is dribble and shoot? Even Westbrook, Harden are making twice as many plays for other players. Does this dude just really want to be the ultimate ball-hog type of player? Go be a worse version of Iverson/Kobe somewhere? And he thinks that will fly with Pop? lol

You know if this happened in 2k people would be screaming that the Franchise modes are broken lol but here we have it in real life.

He must be reminiscing the good ol days when he could do whatever he wanted each possession while leading his team to 30 wins.

Irony is his USG was at a career high last season.

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

Cavs should just start shopping Lebron at this point.

Time to blow that squad up, place is becoming a dumpster fire.

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

If Kyrie is traded to a team in the West....The NBA better look into something lol. And blow it up like Boltman said.

I'm starting to feel like Dan Gilbert is trying to cut back on expenses and blow this thing up [emoji38]

That is exactly what I think. The same thing that happen to the Heat. Dump down on the roster.

But what team would trade big parts for Kyrie. I'd just shop LeBron and Kevin Love around and keep Kyrie. He's younger.

I'm just waiting for the sequel to Comic Sans Font except it's about Kyrie this time.

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

So he wants a "bigger role" but listed San Antonio as one of his top 4 places he wants to go?

Something doesn't sound right about this

Miami is the only team who can give back a decent enough trade. Dragic, Whiteside or something along those lines.

I'm soooooo blind sided by this new..... Totally agree with the above. The Heat are the only team that can give value. But they would be gutted. This is so stupid. And the fact that Kyrie took 20 shots a game. Like WTF?

I need a drink.

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

No matter what happens the real winners are Golden State. Damn.

I would not want Kyrie Irving on that Minnesota squad they need a pure facilitator on that squad not Kyrie jacking up shots with Butler and Towns needing touches.

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

Man, this offseason for the Cavs has the makings of a real good book. Some real craziness going on down there. It really does feel like Gilbert is gonna blow things up good. Oh well, they had a pretty good run but it'll be back to mediocre attendance and performance pretty soon.

That's why none of this makes any sense at all!!

Knicks have nothing
Wolves read the above
Heat have value. But are they stupid enough to gut the team for one player
Spurs same as the above line. And Pops isn't going to let him dribble the air out of the ball.

LeBron is saying he's coming back no matter who his teammates lol

Look if Kyrie is traded to a West team I'm going to throw up.

Maybe....now just hear me out. Maybe he's tired of being LeBron's trash teammate when they lose and then an after thought to Bron when they win. Just throwing that out there.

If they can keep LeBron is all this. They could keep the crowds coming. Or at least Love. But good Losing Kyrie makes no sense. Trade LeBron he's older.
