Oh I have no doubts about the validity of it. I take issue with people blaming Kyrie when he asked for a trade "the right way", rather than airing poo poo out in the media, as if he's the one that told loving Windhorst he is asking for a trade because he's a big baby that was jealous of how kawaii Lebron is.

Mostly someone else leaking poo poo that you said behind the scenes and didn't make public leads to people saying poo poo like


Agreed. I am ragging on Kyrie for what he wants more than anything. I want to be traded from a contender that has already gone all in, I only want to go to these teams but I won't commit to anybody. Congrats dude, you'll end up getting nothing and have a really awkward year in front of you.

He has 2 years left on his deal what sense does it make for him on his first non rookie extension to commit somewhere, most other "stars" after their first extension play the field and get wined and dined to figure out where they want to continue their career.

And the Cavs haven't gone all in. Dan Gilbert's cheap rear end didn't want to pay the GM that managed to put together the championship team by making trades and aquisitions​ with minimal cap room and assets.


But mostly it comes down to this if you aren't happy at a job or in your current situation for whatever reason you shouldn't be seriously looked down upon for wanting a change of scenery. Despite how others may think "OMG you have the perfect job and situation, why would you leave" players are humans and thus act on their sometimes logical sometimes illogical thoughts and emotions.

Like make jokes about Kyrie leaving and poo poo those can be funny but like don't seriously disparage a guy for saying he just isn't feeling it in his current job and wants out.

I mean unless you are a legit Cavs fan. Then you have the green light to burn his jersey in the river.

Haha no I was referencing that drink poll if you happened to fill it out, I was sleuthing my way down the list

But yeah, I have a friend that works there and she says the pairings they do are interesting, that you can give them a budget that you'd like to keep it within and they can accommodate or they have a preset pairing list at like $95/person? Something like that, can't remember.

She also said she served Pop and the Spurs there once and that he tries to make a trip when he can when he's got time out here in between games.

Their wine list is filthy good.

I went there not long after their cellar got robbed. I forget how many bottles he said they had stolen but it was relatively few and it came out to some comically large total of cash.

I mean Kawhi probably is a better two way player now that LeBron doesn't play particularly great defense anymore outside of the occasional burst of effort.

On the other hand Jordan always praising Kobe over LeBron is definitely entirely about him trying to knock LeBron because he's mad anyone might think LeBron is better than he was. Kobe was basically Jordan cosplay so he can safely praise him knowing that no one will ever seriously try to argue that Kobe was better.
