Kyrie Irving

[shoes22]

I notice no one's made a "Kyrie cares more about his love life than he does about basketball" post yet.

 

[sailfish]

lol. You have zero idea what he's saying and what the context even is as you're first in line to twist a video of him working out into "Kyrie is selfish" and "Kyrie is knocking the Cavs"

I see the same sense of denial that existed towards LeBron, before he left, as now exists toward Kyrie. It's as if LeBron, err Kyrie, can do no wrong and LeBron, err Kyrie, would never think of leaving our team. Well, keep on worshipping, worshippers.

Since it couldn't possibly be anything derogatory towards the Cavaliers, perhaps, you worshippers, can explain to me, the cliffjumper, what Kyrie means when he says, "ll these moves and we still not goin' nowhere"??? Please enlighten me.

Ah, the double down.

Good strategy.

Kyrie has always said all the right things in the media. Why the hell would he stop now? And why would he say it now when he could have said it weeks ago when MB was fired or Griffin took over as GM?

Maybe it's an elaborate tale about as Kyrie moves the ball behind his back, it's as if he's trying to put his relationships BEHIND him, but he can't advance because he's still touching the ball.

OR maybe he's trying to juxtapose his relationships with his life, by putting the ball IN BETWEEN his legs, but that makes him focus on his relationships.

Maybe the hoop is his end goal, a championship, but it's not even in sight, because he can't get rid of THE BURDEN THAT IS CLEVELAND. CLEVELAND IS THE BALL.

I'm actually 100% behind you on this one.

Can someone enlighten him please???? I fear he is too far gone for someone with my limited knowledge of spirituality to help him.

LeBron really fucked us up psychologically. We get a star and then just assume he wants to leave. Star says he's happy, we assume he's lying. Media destroys star mentally with unfounded rumors. Fans and media turn star against team and organization. Can't wait to see what happens with our number one pick.

Oh we'll fuck him up reaal nice. Shit, we're already talking about trading him and we ain't even drafted anyone yet!

Look man, I'm not the biggest Kyrie fan either, but you need to take a breath. It's a work out video.

I don't think it's fair to blanket, those who believe you can draw anything of serious consequence from a kid messing around in a work out video - let alone one he himself posted, as Kyrie worshipers. It's quite clear that you still haven't gotten over LBJ leaving. You need to step back and take a serious look in the mirror when it comes to your fandom of this team.

If you're going to scrutinize every little thing that one of our best players does and automatically assume it's the worst thing possible, you may need to find another team or another hobby.

Do you think we'd be like this with a guy like Kevin Durant or Tim Duncan?

RIP next three pages.

If we drafted them post-LeBron, yeah. What would be different? He came in here and made two consecutive All Star games in three years, ASG MVP, 3 Point champ, Rookie Soph MVP, always said good things about Cleveland, and that's not enough for some people. I get that the team has still struggled, but look at all the rumors, instability, and the roster. I don't think he could have been much better. He still needs to put forth more of an effort, but y'all acting like Dion never slacks off and plays disinterested. #BlameItOnLebron #AndBrianWindhorst

What the fuck is happening in here.

 

[Witz]

Did I miss something...is Kyrie trying out for the 'And 1' tour??
His comment "all these moves and we still not goin' nowhere" seems to be a direct shot at the Cavaliers. In other words, Kyrie's inflated ego & sense of self worth seems to suggest, "All this talent's going to waste" and "I'm not the problem."
Kyrie's all about himself, not the team. THAT, in and of itself, is a HUGE problem!
I'd trade this cancer ASAP!!

If this isn't sarcasm...

Kyrie has done a solid job of toeing the company line and saying all the right things. Behind the scenes, Kyrie's camp has been talking about getting him out of Cleveland for the past 18 months to 2 years years. Those are the reports at least. You can choose to deny them, if you want, but where's there's smoke there's almost always fire.

You say I'm not over LeBron leaving, well you're damn right! Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice, shame on me. At some point, we have to learn & wise up, which means paying attention to the smoke, whether we want to or not. The Cavaliers have done a poor job of letting players become bigger than the organization. They did it with LeBron and, inexplicably, they've done it again with Kyrie.

The Cavaliers are foolish if they play around with Kyrie. The bottom line is if Kyrie refuses to sign an extension or demands an out after three years, as LeBron did, then they should trade him. If he refuses to accept his role as a team leader or buy into what they're building here then they should trade him. IF he buys in AND takes a full 5 year extension, without an early termination option, then, and only then, do I keep him.
