He's tired of Lebron controlling the ball and wants to control a team. Which means he wants to lose cuz nobody can put together a package that won't leave them as bad as Cleveland will be in 2 years. None of the players signed in free agency can be traded until December. That means, no Kyrie for Teague. Miami could trade Dragic but he's the leader there. Swapping changes their entire philosophy. Spurs have no PG of equal value or talent but Lebron could make either look like a genius for 1 season. Melo won't waive his no-trade to go to Cleveland when Lebron is dipping next summer. Who else is going to trade their franchise for Kyrie when you're not one of his 4 desired teams? You have 2 years to convince him to stay but, wherever he goes is losing to either GSW or BOS/CLE next season and for the foreseeable future.

Nope, and ya someone will trade for him. Just a matter of not giving up too much to get him. But ya, the implosion is going to be fun to watch. I actually hope they get eliminated in the East Semis. But if they make it to the Finals, I hope BOS sweeps them.

hey I love D-Rose. He won me $50 from Phil when he got injured the first time

Easy now, Ridge believes that too

First part of a "superteam" or Big3 or what have you, that's wanting out. To me, it's a breath of fresh air.

Otto Porter got matched by DC. I think he was just wanting the max and knew Wash would match anything

He's not a max guy max salaries are 40 million homie. He's getting what he should and do you actually think he was interested in joining Brooklyn for real? LOL Washington should've just signed him instead of letting the market dictate what we all knew he would get. Rightfully so he's a terrific player now and young. Is he a #1 offensive option no but he's one of those guys that does everything at a very high level and gives 1000000% effort. No matter how bright the "superstar" there will never be a night he is thoroughly outplayed. The kind of guy you CAN'T win a chip workout.

Kinda like the GOATKING Horry...

If you're gonna be a GM, you should probably learn how contracts work. Otto got the max that he's eligible for.

I'm very aware of that and he's with it. Kcp was not and Otto couldn't get 40 from me like I said.

You mad imma Finna genius how about discussing the trade scenarios I proposed?

LeBron left the big 3 standing in Miami, after he left Cleveland to form it. Porter used Brooklyn for leverage. The Wiz were hoping the market would save them money but yes, they should have known the market would max him and just made the deal. Hill confuses me cuz he's not winning a ring in Sac but he's acting like this is his last contract and going for the payday. Kyrie has the ring, he has the max contract, now he wants to breathe. Again, EVERYONE knows LeBron is leaving so he wants out before LeBron screws everyone around him again.
