That would be awesome.

It would be nice to see him get out from underneath LeBron's shadow.

Well Smith is well connected so there may be some truth to this.

Because it was going so fantastic before.

If Cleveland moves Kyrie, I think they are a lot more likely to keep Love. So I hope they don't move Kyrie.

For a supposed title contender, there's a ton of dysfunction in Cleveland.

It honestly doesn't look like Kyrie or Love is a good fit with Lebron. Just another example that talent alone isn't enough, and there's got to be some sort of good fit.

Fine! We'll trade them Bradley for Kyrie this offseason, but I'm not happy about it!  ;)

If Clips fall flat again, I could see a rebuild there, with Paul going to Cleveland for Kyrie, and Celts trading assets to get Blake.  I don't want Love, so this would be good news.

Geez. Cleveland might blow all their assets for their windfall of 3 top picks.

Have you seen Kyrie's February stats (or even last year)?  He seems to be benefiting a great deal playing with Lebron.

Cavs fans have to be super-bummed, and super-angry. They get a once-in-a-generation player in LeBron, who nearly takes them to the promised land with a glorified D-League team, then breaks their hearts by taking his talents to Miami, then causes them much jubilation with a return to Cleveland, where this time around the team has much more pure talent, only to have injuries and the Warriors standing in the way last season, and probably this season too. If LeBron retires never having won a title in Cleveland ... yikes.
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'

You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.

He benefits from playing with Lebron, and sure his stats especially in February are awesome, but if you watch closely enough, a lot of times it's sorta empty stats if that makes sense.  He doesn't really make the people around him better, and he plays next to NO defense.  Not quite James Harden level, but still pretty bad.
