Around the NBA - July 2017 Edition

Ya I turned mine off years ago. I think it was Minstrel or BenDaivs or somebodies that always annoyed me. I'll be honest, I don't know if I even have one.

 

That's all I had to do to erase mags yellow eyeball? Shit....nice to know NOW!

 

Yeah, I know one of us had some obnoxious, racist sig. I can no longer remember which of us it was.

 

Haha.

 

What did I miss?

 

A dead pan delivery of a very funny post.

 

I just figured out this has nothin

about 40 some wins if I remember correctly

 

Thanks for explaining.

 

Funniest sig I've ever seen.....



Yeah, and you thought people forgot about this.... (Said to the previous owner of it... Lol)

 

They would have to add something VERY signficant for this to make sense and probably involve a third team to send Cleveland an asset. Irving is a very good player, Melo is an ageing superstar who won't replace him and Cavs are still going to need a starting point guard. If Knicks get Irving and don't lose Porzingis, they are probably a playoffs team in the East so their picks are not worth all that much.

I think Suns would need to give up Bledsoe and another asset to get involved.

 

I think he should go to Houston. They would have 3 legit stars on backcourt. Very aggressive small lineup. And after CP3 trade I could see it actually happening.

(It's not really my 2nd post)

 

There is a reason he was voted first team all nba. And that alla star center you talk about i suppose none would really want on his team as he seems a cancer. Would you trade Nurk for Cousins? Have you also seen the rest of their team? Half of their roster would probably be 2way contracts for us.

 

They don't have the assets to attract Cavs and they don't really need three top class guard.

 

I think Harden and CP3 is so stupid idea, that they might as well take Irving.

 

Perhaps I missed the green font, but...

HOU doesn't have the assets to get Carmelo Anthony. How, exactly ate they going to get Kyrie Irving?

Kyrie wants out of CLE because he doesn't want to be the second banana to LeBron James, the best player on the planet. What makes you think he'd be happy being the third banana in HOU behind Harden and CP3?

BNM

 

Looking around the league, I think there are maybe below teams who could want Irving and have the assets to get it done:

- Phoenix Suns - he is better than all their point guards, but they could send a decent one in return, plus they have three highly promising young players in Josh Jackson, Devin Booker and Marquesee Chriss, so they could add one of them in the deal and then maybe even add another pick. Bledsoe + Booker should comfortably get this done but also Bledsoe + Chriss + pick is a good enough offer. IMO if they want it, they can get it done.

- San Antonio Spurs - the assets part is difficult here but they could offer Dejounte Murray, Aldridge and perhaps even two picks. They don't have much young talent outside Murray and their picks are not worth much because of how good they usually are.

- New York Knicks - they need a point guard badly, could perhaps offer Porzingis and get this done comfortably but I doubt they will do that. Best case scenario for Cavs is them offering Ntilikina, Hernangomez, Anthony and two picks, then hoping Irving + Porzingis is not that good combination and picks end up being good.

- Miami Heat - outside chance too IMO as Irving is better than Dragic and they need a leader (which Kyrie at least thinks he is). They could offer Dragic, one of their young players (Winslow or Adebayo), one of their good contract players (Waiters or Johnson) and, I am not sure this is possible, a pick.

 

Has nothing to do with whether he likes Portland or no. He wants to be first fiddle. We have his position covered here. He would not be a Good fit here because he knows we are not trading dame or cj. So why mention portland?

 

I don't see how Timberwolves could do this trade now, although if they got Towns, Butler and Irving that's a hell of a team.

 

I guess it's clear now.
