    I met Calderon a month ago when I was working at FAO Schwarz. Forgot to ask him about that.

    So who’s gonna get picked last, I wonder? DeRozen or JJJ?

    I don't care if the trade were to solve world hunger, if it ends with him playing in Portland it's not worth it.

    Flip him? No. Keep Kyrie. You want to swing for the fences or not? Kyrie is a HOF All Star starter STAR in his prime. He would be Dames most talented teammate ever.

    Do it. Do y’all want high level talent or not? I watched this guy play a couple nights ago and he was incredible. Leads the league in 4th qtr scoring. Can you imagine defenses having to guard Kyrie AND Dame at the end of games? Get it done, Joe.

    You think Kyrie and Dame fit together?!? You've got to be fucking kidding me. I swear some of you in here will never learn... Dame is not effective with a ball dominant small guard next to him. So you flip Kyrie for a good piece or pieces that actually fit. Fit matters, having some size in your back court matters.

    I'm having a hard time figuring out who would be that third team.
    Maybe with Paul aging, Phoenix would tink they could somehow make it work with Kyrie?
    Nurk, Simons and Saric go to Nets
    Phoenix gets Kyrie and Little
    We get Claxton, Crowder and Bridges.
    Doubt Phoenix would do this but I would love it!

    Dame and CJ got to WCF. Dame was extremely effective next to CJ. Dame scored 60+ 3 times in one season playing alongside CJ. Kyrie is way better than CJ. Like way way way better. High level talent is ALWAYS a good fit. It’s the B level players that need to “fit.”

    I remember people, including me, saying Harden and CP3 wouldn’t fit. Well they went 65-17, Harden won MVP, and they would’ve prob won it all if CP3 didn’t get hurt with 3-2 lead in WCF. Key to contention is high level talent. Kyrie is high level talent.

    That’s why we’d actually have a chance of getting him! No one wants that asshole. But do you want to win or not? What happened to big swing for a star? Giannis ain’t coming. Siakam isn’t good enough. Kyrie is best talent available and the fact that he’s an asshole is why we could actually pull it off.

    If Gordon Hayward was healthy, he’d be up there too.

    Kyrie isn't just an asshole. I can live with assholes.

    Kyrie is a certifiable nut job. Completely insane. Toxic to a locker room. I want nothing to do with him.
