The move is to trade Kyrie IMO. He can play well off the ball, but he isn't going to be happy.
They are getting their wish with Deandre as their starting center though Booyakishaw!
Trading Kyrie ... let’s revisit that:
- Boston got Kyrie for two miserable years and he didn’t do shit for them in the playoffs. They got nothing when he left.
- We got a pick that became Collin Sexton.
- We got Zizic. Ok, that didn’t work out.
- We got Isaiah Thomas, who we packaged with Channing Frye and a low first round pick for Nance and Clarkson. We only lost Frye for a few months.
- We traded Crowder, Shump and minor assets for George Hill and Rodney Hood. We later turned Hill into the Milwaukee First.
- We traded Clarkson for Exum and a couple 2nds and a trade exemption.
-We traded Exum, the Milwaukee first and used the trade exemption to get Allen and Prince.
So Kyrie provided the vast majority of the assets to get Nance, Sexton, Prince, Allen. That’s not a bad return at all, especially considering Boston got fucked and Kyrie is a shitshow at the moment.
It’s hilarious that the latest haul from the Kyrie trade involves Kyrie’s team that’s also the team that provided the Sexton pick.
Being a Cavalier fan is never dull.
