Yeah know kidding

https://sports.yahoo.com/report-cavaliers-evaluating-kyrie-irving-034510896.html Report: Isaiah Thomas injury could void Kyrie Irving trade If this trade gets voided I think teams jump at this opportunity

It's about time we get some news. Brown and Thomas for Kyrie?

The owner said it himself. They reported it in Around The Horn today as well

It doesn't seem like the Timberwolves owner wants to give Wiggins a max deal. I wonder what it would take for us to get him. Should be less than what it'd take to Kyrie right? Wiggins isn't a great defender but he would provide the scoring we need.

Good read thanks for posting.

Antonio Cromartie as well

That's not bad I think if we stand pat our starting lineup will be Vucevic, Gordon, Simmons, Fournier, and Payton. I think this lineup gives you the most balance offense/defense wise.

If so then I probably wouldn't do it. I'd say offer Payton, Fournier, Biyombo, Hezonja, and the Thunder's first rounder we acquired. If they don't take it then move on.

What about a Payton, Fournier, Vucevic, and draft picks package?

I disagree a bit. I think guaranteed playoffs spots go to the Cavs, Celtics, Wizards, Raptors, and Bucks. I think 6-8 are up for grabs.

Yep some of the superstars are straight divas

So right now we're looking at a depth chart of: PG: Payton, Mack, Augustin SG: Fournier, Afflalo SF: Ross, Simmons, Hezonja, Iwundu PF: Gordon, Speights, Isaac C: Vucevic, Biyombo, Birch This is crazy

Who would you guys rather have; McCollum or Irving? I would take McCollum for two reasons! 1. He has less of a diva attitude to him and I wouldn't see him being as selfish as Kyrie on the court. 2. I think Irving would get back to missing games if he came here cause I think he'd be pushing to hard to shoulder the load. Irving has a history of missing games with nagging injuries. Let's look who has the upper hand: Scoring: Equal Shooting: Irving: Better three point shooter and would space the floor better Defense: McCollum Size: Equal Health: McCollum Age: Irving: 1 year younger

That would be a beautiful trade package. I'd even throw in a draft pick if they wanted it.

Happy birthday boss

Could Iwundu be like another Trevor Ariza in a few years? I know he's not as athletic but he has similar tools in my opinion.

That's actually not that bad. Our bench looks pretty serviceable and will keep us in games now. I'd have Vucevic starting over Biz though.

@Magicdoc1 I saw your previous post regarding the trade. If they requested Ross over Hezonja and picks would you do it? Kyrie Irving for Payton, Fournier, and Ross. Think that would be a fair trade for both teams?

It's crazy cause we don't know what Cleveland is going to be looking for in the trade. Could it be like the Chris Paul deal where they request half our team or could it be like the George/Cousins trade where they get two solid players and a 1st round pick.

One more player should do it right?

Do you guys think a top five protected future first, Fournier, and Payton would be enough for Irving?

They'd probably be better off sticking with Deron Williams at this point. Williams is more reliable and would be there for more games

I truly believe we get the playoff Simmons. Seems like he's hungry and motivated to show what he can do being a regular starter but I'm unsure if SF or SG is his best fit. Payton in his eight games do you know what position he started at?

Buccaneers are going to be nice this year. O.j. Howard and Desean Jackson
