    Hold up is this not the better Trade?????? I'm so confused

    kyrie for brogdon/middleton would have made basketball sense for both teams

    brogdon would be a good PG fit for bron

    low TO
    good defender
    40% 3pt
    low usage

    middleton a big wing that can defend and shoot the 3

    another good fit for bron

    i would have much rather seen a splash deal like that with the bucks than the cavs/celtics trading players -- but for cavs its about not being stuck post lebron and that 2018 nets pick makes a ton of difference — lebron leaves they still got a chance at the #1 pick that summer

    thats just something the bucks couldnt match

    Would leave too much scoring responsibility on lebron.

    Love not consistent enough imo, some games love will have 30 next game 9 I.t. and kyrie can carry an offense brogon and middleton are role players

    im a big middleton fan

    middleton might be the player i liked the most of all the names flying around in potential deals because he seems to be the most useful vs the dubs but the nets pick remains the single piece i would have been the most interested in acquiring because of the flexibility

    its an asset that either allows the cavs to add a substantial piece or try their luck in the lotto

    "They have a workout there, with, I'm told, Josh Smith, Chase Budinger, Martell Webster."

    Man the Pels need to stop playing and go ahead and stretch Asik contract.

    Bring back Cunningham!

    Kyrie is taking Boston to the Finals this year...

    The King's run is coming to an end... Don't want Lebron in LA but I would love to see LA-BOS finals with Lebron and Kyrie rivaling for it all tho

    I'd take PG over LBJ at tbis point. PG is 28 enteting his prime and Lebron is about to turn 33.


    He gonna break down soon and it might be tbis year. Niggaa think LBJ bionic.

    LBJ is in the same year where kobe avg 27 5 5 carrying a bad lakers team before he tore his achilles.

    LBJ will still play heavy minutes cuz jeff green is trash and ty lue a trash coach who can't win witj lebron playing huge minutes again

    @Tommy bilfiger



    markkanen led finland to an upset win against one of the best national teams in europe

    france was favored by 15

    ? was entertaining

    markkanen had 4 points at half

    finished with 22 points on 9-of-15 from the field

    2-of-3 from deep and 7 rebounds

    went crazy in the fourth and overtime

    clutch shot after clutch shot

    inside
    outside
    off ball
    on ball

    i never understood the hype on him relative to the league and other positions but it was cool to watch him hold up on both ends against a good team

    Wtf don't try to skew my ? bro... I want Paul George over Lebron because he's 5 damn years younger than Lebron and he's local product with superstar quality, we already have our future at the 3/4 in Ingram, we can't have a team full of SF's... I'm not dumping Ingram for Lebron when Lebron is on his last 2-3 years he's already 34 years old, when Ingram has 15 years ahead of him and showing huge upside to be a real factor..

    I'd rather the Lakers next summer add Paul George with a Boogie Cousins or Westbrook instead if those are real options, Lebron is getting his last big deal and he's going for James Harden Money I'm not paying Lebron 45.5 mil in year 4 when he's 38/39... Lebron could've came to LA with Melo a long time ago when he was younger but now we are destined to get the worse version of Lebron James if we sign him he's on a decline like it or not we need ascending players not descending players

    i will believe a kyrie led team knocks bron out the playoffs when i see it

    cavs lose kyrie but still have continuity with 4/5 ths of their starting 5 and coach

    brad stevens is a wizard and he will have to be meshing

    tatum
    kyrie
    hayward
    morris

    and other new guys to knock off cleveland

    in basketball the old adage still reigns supreme

    team with the best player wins 4 games out of 7 and the cavs have that by a mile

    isnt this against some sort of amateur rules?

    "We'll worry about it when we get there," LaVar told Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com. "Who cares? If he can't play, then he can't play. It doesn't mean he'll stop working out and getting better."

    He added, "Maybe in two years, they'll change the rule and he'll be able to go to the NBA straight out of high school."
