Should we pursue Kyrie Irving?

[Blazer4ever]

If it somehow doesn't cost us Dame, CJ, Caleb or Nurkic.

Think about having Dame, CJ and Kyrie. Might be a bit too much, but we'd have the best guard rotation in the league

 

[BrunoSOC]

No way

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Crabbe seen at the airport!

A) I don't see any package not including any of the big 3 interesting the Cavs;
B) I don't see Kyrie being any happier playing alongside Dame than he is playing alongside Lebron.

So I'm going to say that it wouldn't make sense and isn't worth consideration.

 

[Natebishop3]

He's unhappy in Cleveland because he isn't "the man" so why would he be happy here? And frankly I think Dame and CJ are better players.

 

[Trackjack]

No he wouldn't consider here and he wouldn't be happy.

What have you been smoking bro?! You think Cavs would trade Kyrie, a top 5 pg who is only 25 and has a ring, to the Blazers without giving up Dame, CJ, Nurk, or Swanigan??? Are you nuts man? Maybe the Lakers can trade for Dame without giving up Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, or Julius Randle... how does that sound? Why is shit like this allowed to be posted? Especially starting a new thread for it.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Portland should trade for Irving and Melo. Crabbe and Leonard is fair

 

[BBert]

Fuck. No.

Irving is leaving Cleveland because he want's "his own team". I'm sure he'd be happy coming off the bench in Portland.

He asked for a trade which lowers his trade value and he doesn't have a no-trade clause or any say on where he's traded

He could be happy or unhappy. He's getting millions of dollars to do his job

 

[riverman]

We don't need Kyrie...we need Lebron or Love more...I wouldn't even mind bringing back Channing Frye for Meyers if Frye is still a Cav

All true, but I have no doubt that other teams will be willing to offer much better packages for Irving than anything we'd generate based on the restrictions you set.

Hypothetically, what is the best package the Blazers could offer for Kyrie that excludes the 4 you named? Collins, Vonleh, Harkless, and Napier? You honestly don't think the Cavs could get a better offer elsewhere?

Spurs could send Patty Mills and Tony Parker for Kyrie...Miami could send Dragic...they'll get better offers than we will offer unless we swap CJ and I wouldn't do that for him

 

[e_blazer]

We need Lebron.

Just let it go at that.

No one knows if Tony Parker can even play again.

For example, or replace one of these players with another player they preffer, maybe add a draft pick

yeah...I heard he thinks the world is round anyway

 

[Crimson the Cat]

Keep that fucker away from my team.

seriously? that bored to start this thread?

It makes no sense pairing Dame and Kyrie. I sure would love to see CJ and Kyrie on the same team, though, just for the sheer ankle-breaking prowess.

Dame and Kyrie wouldn't be that bad either

Trading CJ for Lebron would accomplish that

Dame > Kyrie
CJ > Kyrie

Kyrie wouldn't be happy playing with either one, and he sure as hell won't come off the bench.

Case closed.

"Bored" is not the term I'd use.

 

[Denny Crane]

I don't think we need to add him to this roster. We'd be better off pursuing someone who is a much better fit and who has a better attitude.

[Boob-No-More]

Fuck, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That whiny little bitch is forcing his way out of a winning situation in CLE and completely fucking over the organization that drafted him, committed over $100 million to him, and got him a ring, because he's jealous of one of his teammates, who happens to be the greatest player of his entire generation.

Other than leadership, he's completely redundant with Dame, and he's already admitted he's jealous of Dame. If he's not happy winning rings with LeBron in CLE, no way in fuck would he be happy playing second banana to Dame here. He would be an absolute cancer.

Winning supposedly cures everything - unless you're Kyrie Irving.

BNM

Short answer: No.

Slightly longer answer: Uh what ?
