jordan, dont do this

i will really miss rooting for IT

absolutely cannot mentally picture IT and lebron as teammates idk why

yeah IT rules

can't wait for the nba finals where every single play is just a series of picks until either steph or IT is defending a bigger player

oh god lol

wont happen tho since bron is gonna trade himself

lmfao wow

Boston reporter: "Hello, I'm from the Globe."

Kyrie: "Excuse me?"

lmaoooooooo

aaaa wtf

I know all metrics type stuff says trade Thomas for kyrie ten times out of ten but I still don't wanna do it

which metrics are these? the biggest thing kyrie has going for him is old-school small sample size playoff voodoo

Also height

age

metrics have IT as a slightly better player but kyrie is younger and less of a scary guy to max

slightly better player in 2017 i mean

i will miss kyrie's dazzling and magical finishes but cad otm he is an uncomfortable weirdo and I'm really really psyched to have IT and crowder!! overall I feel really good about this we just added some very good and really likeable players

feel like I gotta stream some Boston sports radio tomorrow

there are like 2.5 guys on boston sports radio who even have a cursory understanding of the nba just fyi

felger and mazz don't even sound like human names

lol.

within the parameters of what they do i actually like felger and mazz a fair amount but neither of them knows a single thing about the nba

makes sense if they're prioritizing #1 seed

listening to the ainge press conference "weve offered picks of this caliber for a handful of players that just didnt work out for whatever reason"

also he keeps calling kyrie "one of the best offensive players in the league" lol

hey danny's a straigh shooter

wow considering the pick and how hard it is when teams know a player wants out, I love this trade for the Cavs

this season is going to be really interesting viewing. we'll finally settle the debates by seeing prime kyrie run his own team

by settle the debates i mean continue to debate but in a different context

what's the story on Ante Z?

lot of ppl on the twitter seem to think the celtics way overpaid but kyrie having two years left on his deal makes it pretty different than past disgruntled stars wanting out situations, also his age

the Cavs have a shitload of centers

ante zizic is a guy the celtics picked last year late in the first round who a lot of ppl thought wld have been a top ten pick this year, he also looked insanely awful in summer league, id be surprised if hes ever a difference maker in the nba

yeah zizic is at best "a nice player" for 25 mins/game, i'm not even sure why the cavs demanded his inclusion

if not for the pick and the eternal what-if surrounding such a high draft spot, i wouldn't particularly complain about the deal at all, much as i grew to love IT4 in a v emotional/not always rational way - like as a "favorite player for watching" type thing

ESPN story said he was necessary to make the money match

i guess that could be, i think the c's had other guys they could have thrown in for $$$ purposes but maybe not

for an hour tonight I totally forgot that celtics will have gordon hayward

i think,,,,,,,,they will be Good

yea

imo hayward-brown-tatum will get many dunks

for an hour tonight I totally forgot that celtics will have gordon hayward

i also forgot this

so kyrie is still the second best player on his team

which metrics are these? the biggest thing kyrie has going for him is old-school small sample size playoff voodoo

Yer right Kev I basically blacked out when I saw the news because I loved that little magical elf with all my heart and think kyrie is an incredible scorer and utter weirdo

But I guess they're pretty comparable in that they can both score like crazy and are at best medium bad defenders. As noted the real numbers that work for the cs are kyries age and comparative size- I am legit terrified that if IT loses even a half step he's in serious trouble

I am supremely unexcited to root for a flat earther tho
