    It makes no sense pairing Dame and Kyrie. I sure would love to see CJ and Kyrie on the same team, though, just for the sheer ankle-breaking prowess.

    Trading CJ for Lebron would accomplish that

    Dame > Kyrie
    CJ > Kyrie

    Kyrie wouldn't be happy playing with either one, and he sure as hell won't come off the bench.

    Case closed.

    "Bored" is not the term I'd use.

    I don't think we need to add him to this roster. We'd be better off pursuing someone who is a much better fit and who has a better attitude.

    Fuck, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That whiny little bitch is forcing his way out of a winning situation in CLE and completely fucking over the organization that drafted him, committed over $100 million to him, and got him a ring, because he's jealous of one of his teammates, who happens to be the greatest player of his entire generation.

    Other than leadership, he's completely redundant with Dame, and he's already admitted he's jealous of Dame. If he's not happy winning rings with LeBron in CLE, no way in fuck would he be happy playing second banana to Dame here. He would be an absolute cancer.

    Winning supposedly cures everything - unless you're Kyrie Irving.

    Slightly longer answer: Uh what ?

    Yes, Lillard should pursue Kyrie.

    Then steal the ball and dunk on him.

    There is no way he'd come here and no way we'd want him.

    I get that people are bored and want to discuss hypothetical trades, but this one makes no sense and has zero chance of happening.

    I think all four guys have also already locked up having their jerseys retired.
