    Would Lebron leave Cleveland again if he felt like the same problems were happening? Could you imagine if he pulled another taking my talents to south beach, and I'm taking Kyrie Irving with me?

    I could see the Cavs going balls-to-the-wall to win now. They kinda have to. No time like the present. If they can't win with LBJ, they won't ever win, and if they don't do everything to help him get a ring, he could walk again.

    I love this trade for both teams; Kyrie gets the Clippers a great young PG, and CP3 gets the Cavs a win-now swing for the fences. It's win-win not just for the teams involved, but the players involved.

    The subplot is that's the pick that Neil traded away was Kyrie Irving.

    So the trade also has balance! It's like poetry, it rhymes.

    He also traded for CP3, no? I'm pretty certain of that

    And yes, I'm being lazy by not looking it up.

    Duncan not playing, regular season games don't mean much.

    Not trying hard in order to prevent direct opponent scouting is a Pop trademark.

    They sat Duncan just in case they hadn't scouted him enough in the last 18 years!

    The Clippers aren't going to win now anyway and they probably know that.

    When it comes down to a 7 game series I think the odds have to favor the best Dynasty and coach this league has ever seen.

    They should have learned that last season, but somehow they convinced DeAndre to come back. Crazy to think how good the Mavs might be right now with DJ as their center.
