How did you like it? Planning on seeing it in legit IMAX, hoping its as good as people say.

It's pretty good. Not a huge Chris Nolan fanatic but I was entertained for sure. A lot of people online are already comparing its style to War for the Planet of the Apes (lack of dialogue, serious, intense, melancholic, etc.) and I personally liked Apes better, but this is certainly a well-made film.

There is more to this that just being 'the man'. I think he doesn't want to be on a team with King Diva.

I'm amending - this one is better Knicks get: Kyrie, Shump's deal Suns get: Ntilinkna, Frye's expiring Cavs get: Melo, Bledsoe, NYK 2018 1st


Want no part of Irving and his "f**k winning, I want to be a chucker" goals of 2017.

That's a bad deal for the Suns. They just get another PG back and an expiring contract. I think it's logical now to trade Carmelo and Kyrie straight up and the Cavs get D rose as the starting PG.

I'm a Suns fan and don't see it that way. Bledsoe is a good player but he's markedly older than the Suns core group and has a history of injuries. His stock is about as high as its going to get and Frenchie is more in line with the age of the rest of the core and has the potential to be at least be a pretty good defensive point guard with his length and quickness.

I would take Frenchie plus Frye to be a mentor of sorts for a season and then walk afterwards.

King Diva got him to the playoffs and the Finals. He wouldn't have done either without James.

That make sense the Suns should demand at least a draft picks. I see on the mock Cavs got a 1st pick from the Knicks in my opinion that should goes to the sun.

I'd be intrigued to see how Frank the Frank could develop. He'd match well with Booker in the backcourt if he played up to his potential, perhaps not right away but in a few years. Phoenix isnt going anywhere this year or next anyways.

You're right.

Cleveland doesn't have that much leverage

Kyrie is under contract for 2 more years and can't block any trade. Plenty of leverage imo.

Like that move for minimum if it happens.

If we are honest, he is only worth the minimum anymore. He is the epitome of Mr. Glass. Probably blow out his shoulder signing the contract.

Lol he probably will.

But, he's worth more than max. Cmon. He averaged 18ppg last season and missed less than 20 games. If you can get him for minimum - it's a real nice pickup.


Dude!!!!!!!

A deal involving Kyrie + pieces for John Wall. Not sure Washington would go for that though.

Actually Cle has less leverage than you think. It will be hard for Kyrie and Bron to play again especially after Kyrie went public with his issue with LBJ. But I get what you are saying Kyrie for Melo is a straight up not a fair trade for Cleveland. Maybe get a couple of 1st round picks from NY and possibly their French PG.
