Take me to your Shida

Wolves should trade for Kyrie and run a Teague/Kyrie/Buckets/Wiggins/KAT lineup.

Also get the NBA to allow two balls in play at once

When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.
Looking around the whole league all I can figure is that Kyrie could be banished to Orlando or Phoenix for some young guards on mixed contracts. If I were (whoever the Cavs GM now is) that's what I would shoot for.

Lol at Kyrie demanding a trade because he no longer wants to play with LeBron. He'd still be a loving loser if LeBron never came back to Cleveland.

Maybe LeBron Delonte'd his sister.

Who on tbe Cavs can even trade Kyrie rn? Gilbert? Some rando VP?

i think the thing i love most about jokic is that unlike almost every player in denver's history (excepting glorious hotdog ironman Andre Miller) jokic's game requires almost zero athleticism to be extremely effective so i can seem him making ridiculous passes into his late 30s even if his defense regresses to a korver-like level

Jokic is extremely athletic tho?

And take over a Cleveland team that would be as bad as it was before Lebron was there? Why would he want to do that again? If he thinks Lebron is leaving next year, then might as well get out to a better situation sooner rather than later. They aren't better than last year, GSW is as good or better than they were, so they aren't likely to win a ring again with this group. The writing is probably on the wall for these Cavs, Leborn is heading out (to Toronto :pray:) and they are going to suck hard when he leaves (for Toronto :pray:).

Plus, it's Cleveland, Lebron is about the only professional athlete in the world that gives a flying gently caress what the sports fans in that city think about him (for some stupid reason).
