    As far as I know, only Wood is expiring in Dallas, $14.5M.

    My attitude on Kyrie is that he is just like 25% of other LA residents. He's weird, for sure, but LA is full of weirdo's. Seems like he would fit in, just another flat earther.

    I wouldn't know, really. I've never been to LA actually.

    Regardless of what happens, there's nothing like trade rumor season. Gets the blood pumping.

    And he's what, 30 million next season? That's not ideal for BKN

    The good the bad and the ugly.

    The good is that we know he is a good shooter, he also knows how to play with Lebron, it would not take him as long to assimilate. Also, he has played with one solid 7 footer so perhaps he would fit with AD too.

    The bad is, it will cost us a ton to resign him and limit our moves for a few years after. If we can't, or won't max him, he likey walks and we could just let Russ walk next year.

    The ugly, he comes in all crazed out and the LA media goes after him in a big way.

    Would I do it?? I think I would.

    A starting lineup of AD, Lebron, Rui, Kyrie and Reaves seems solid to me.

    Almost anything we do will lock us up for a few years. I like his fit with Lebron and think he puts us into a position to win this year. Nobody else really does that.

    I believe the final year isn't guaranteed

    bullock's a partial guarantee, and as someone else said powell is expiring (don't think they'd move him, though).

    16 mil is, still a bad deal for a 40-year-old injury prone player.

    Well, Cleveland is the best they have been post Lebron, the C Bags have the best record in the league and is playing for a ring and the Nets after a horrendous start have a better record that we do and if all were healthy, would have a shot at doing well in the playoffs. So, I guess I don't really agree with your point.

    Kyrie has little value now, it’s the only reason I’d entertain it. Like this for example is not unexpected and pretty funny. “Yeah yeah that’s great, kyrie is available, but what about KD.”

    A lot of media are saying team execs are more interested in what this means to KD's future. That wuss will bail the ship for sure if Kyrie is going. He ain't gonna hang around for Ben Simmons.
