But Cleveland has to realize at some point if LeBron is likely or even possible to leave next summer, they need to make moves to not leave themselves in the pit of the NBA for years to come. That's part of why Kyrie wants out NOW, so that if he has a insight that LeBron is gone, he can get out ahead of it. If LeBron leaves next summer, Cleveland can't possible trade Kyrie too and keep any fan support.
Kyrie begins the 2017-18 season as a Cav. +100

#44My buddy is so sure that irving will be traded but my buddy not a sports bettor so he wants to bet a steak dinner up to $200. If kyrie is still a cav on opening night in october then i'll win the wager.
What would you do? I am very tempted to take the wager because i believe it's better than 50-50 that kyrie will be a cav on opening night.Comment -

#45I would do the bet he's not getting traded nobody wants him unless they give up journeyman players and second line players
Like I said no one giving up a star for a little point guard that's one dimensionalComment -

#47Kevin Durant knows something about star teammates not always getting along.
So, the Warriors forward is not freaking out about the disconnect between Kyrie Irving and LeBron James and Irving’s subsequent trade request.
Durant, via Chris Haynes of ESPN:
“It’s just a regular NBA problem, right? A lot of teams have gone through this before,” Durant told ESPN. “They’ll figure it out. That’s a great organization, a championship organization. They’ll figure it out.”
“It’s not the end of the world,” Durant said. “Both of those guys won a championship together. They love each other. If Kyrie wants to do something else, that’s on him. I’m sure whatever happens, it’ll work out for the best for both of them. But it’s just a normal NBA problem. It’s just two big stars that it’s happening to.”Comment -

#55The Cavs have leverage, he has 2 years left on his deal and his deal is very favorable given the rise in the salary cap, the problem is the teams he wants to go to have nothing to offer Cleveland.Comment -

#56they have leverage in terms of not having to trade him but they have no leverage in terms of getting equal or better value for him. if they had that leverage he would have been traded by now.Comment -

#57Well depends what you mean by equal value, getting Kyrie Irving for 2 years at 20 mil per when some guys are like Wall are getting 35 million a year plus gives the Cavs a lot of leverage, the reason he hasn't been traded is Lebron doesn't want him dealt and the teams Kyrie wants to go to have nothing to offer. Kyrie's value is hard to determine since he was horrible as the #1 option before Lebron got there.Comment -

#58FYI you can still get +160 on Kyrie starting the year in CLE at BOL & Sportsbetting (same ownership)
A lot of talk that he might get traded in December or January once freshly-signed free agents are eligible to be traded. So you still win if he plays even 1 minute for the CavsComment -

#63Its a win for Cleveland, what is Boston going to win with a shoot first point guard and no frontline. Cleveland now can convince Lebron to stay after this year because Thomas only has 1 year left on his deal and the Nets pick could be traded for a top player. Love's contract isn't horrible either with the salary cap going up, so Cleveland can clean house after this year. Cleveland wasn't going to win anything with Love and Irving's defense.Comment
