I think Kyrie has his sights on the NYK,s. I would consider moving him for Kanter,Trey Burke and this years #9. Pick the best big available at 9 and a guard like Kyrie Thomas. This still leaves us with Rozier,Smart ,Burkes at guard ,all of our 2019 picks and future cap space ,without maxing out Irving.leaves room to later sign Tatum,Brown etc. Kanter gives us decisions on Baynes,Morris and all the rest of the bigs. Keep AH,Theis. wings are Brown ,Tatum and Hayward.
That is an absolutely horrendous return for Kyrie. You can't be serious
and yet it's similar to what we gave up to get him (8 pick)
i don't want to trade him though
As well as a guy coming off a top-5 MVP season, and our starting small forward, both of which who had been to the ECF. So not really similar
yeah that is a bad trade, but Kanter is better than Crowder and frankly Trey Burke might be as well. Crowder may have started in Boston, but he is a back-up level of player (he came off the bench in Utah). obviously that package lacks someone like Thomas and at the time the 8th pick certainly could have been much higher so it had way more value than the 9th pick (in a weaker draft no less). That seems like what would go to Cleveland in a sign and trade for Lebron, not what would be traded straight up for Irving.
