    Do you think Memphis and Cleveland would agree to Conley+Gasol for Irving+Love+Shump? I think it helps both teams, short term for Cavs and long term for Memphis.

    Suns and Timberwolves make the most sense as trade destinations. Suns have some good short and long term assets to offer, and so do Timberwolves. I don't think Cavs will be looking to trade him just for a bunch of average players, they will need to either get one sure thing for now (Bledsoe etc.) or a top prospect for future (Wiggins, Jackson, Booker, Chriss etc.). Suns are in a perfect position in that they can offer them both and still keep some good future prospects. I would try with Bledsoe + Bender first, then try to add a pick. Irving/Booker/Jackson/Chriss is a good core and leaves money to negotiate with Cousins next year.

    It really sucks, but Dame's personal accolades rest so much on how the team does.

    Kyrie wants to be the man of his team, like Dame and Wall.

    It has been reported that Irving wants to be the face of a franchise and unquestioned leader like Wall and Lillard are for their teams.
