How many players have went to 7 straight finals? There's no questioning Lebron's legacy. If Kyrie leaves I'm glad I'm sick of seeing GS vs Clv every year but he'll probably never see the Finals again.

You'll probably still see GS vs CLE lol LeBron is still there, they will get a quality asset or two in return AND who in the East can really beat LeBron??

If Gilbert has real balls - he'll trade Lebron before trade deadline in Feb. and keep Kyrie.

LeBron has a NTC and I highly doubt he agrees to a trade to a team that just had to give up significant assets to get him.

I know he has the clause but he may be willing to waive it off so he can get off this trainwreck...

Other teams can offer future picks rather and expiring contracts.

I still can't believe Tyrie wants a trade. Unbelievable.

Even if Tyrie

If OKC believes they can convince PG to stay long-term...I'm sure 29 teams believe they can get Kyrie to re-sign with them.

I think he's making a big mistake. Him and James are great duo.

True, but at 14 years in the league, it will take a perfect situation to get him to waive that and I don't see too many of those around the league. Best case scenario is CLE gets as close to equal value for Kyrie which would make them, ironically, a better team (combination of Melo and Bledsoe makes them better).

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not fretting over it. This weakens our primary competition.

Yeah good point. Everyone was getting nervous for the best team ever. They need more help

Has Tyrie been traded yet?

What's up fellow Kings' fan... not yet. Don't worry, our Kings ain't trading Fox (and other young guys) for him.

I don't know if this has been discussed but...if I'm the Clippers, I go ALL IN on Kyrie. Regardless of his "preferences". Throw anything that's not Blake or DeAndre at Cleveland.

Shipping out some combo of Austin Rivers, Pat Bev, Lou Williams, a young prospect like Brice Johnson, and a first rounder or two.

Clippers
PG – Kyrie
SG – Somebody (I don't even know who they have left on their roster that could play the 2 but whatever)
SF – Danilo Gallinari
PF – Blake Griffin
C – DeAndre Jordan

Cavs
PG – Patrick Beverly
SG – Austin Rivers/JR Smith, Lou as 6th man
SF – LeBron
PF – Kevin Love
C – Tristan Thompson

I don't think it makes Cleveland better but it gives them some depth and a playmaker off the bench in the form of Lou Will. If you're going to ship Kyrie out, it's not the worst package I don't think.

Cleveland would have to be Donald jr. level stupid to make that deal. They should be able to get a lot more for kyrie. He has three years left on an under market deal. Dude is insanely great trade bait. With lebron leaving, they should make a move
