| i would absolute love Kyrie on this team. the guy has shown he's clutch during playoffs, and is capable of be the alpha when LeBron dialing back his minutes going forward. people have to realize LeBron has no problem throughout his career taking backseat ON THE COURT to another teammate. he did it with Wade in Miami and Kyrie in Cleveland during games. |

Apparently LeBron was having dinner with Kevin Love when Kyrie’s call came through. 🤔 #conspiracytheory #collusion

Take a look at his injury history the past 3 seasons. Missed the playoffs last year. He's another Chris Paul.

Weird how the guy who spent a lot of his time advocating to trade the core for AD... has no worries about ADs health... yet worries about CP3 and Kyrie's health.
All three have pretty spotty track records with injuries. |

You have a point there. But AD does seem to be getting better. He played in 75 games in 2016 and 75 games in 2017.

| My theory holds true that LeBron really loves Kevin Love, I won’t be shocked if we pursue a Love trade to entice LeBron. |

lol. I’m happy when a player is able to play 75% of games and is solid for the playoffs. |

Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! He should be put on that list with KL, KD, Kyrie... If KD or KL doesn't want to come, we should target Kyrie too. You guys notice all the desire-able max guys are K's?
Kawhi
Kevin
Kyrie
Klay
Perfect to join Kyle Kuzma. |

AD hasn't blown out his knee several times though. His is a pain tolerance issue IMO. I genuinely worry about Kyrie's knees.

Kyrie is a proven winner and closer who will cost nothing.
AD will cost four or five assets.
If they cost the same... sure, you could make a case for AD... but at that price differential there's no contest as to which deal is better. |

Lebron is here for at least 2 more seasons, Love or no Love.

Has AD's issues mostly been back though? That wouldn't be about pain tolerance than. When your back goes out, you can't do anything. I'm learning that now playing with my kids. LOL! |

Ooh.. The K-Klub is a very prestigious club, we have a strict policy, and we do a complete background check, and we had to turn him down.

| I think Kyrie still wants to be "the man" on his own team. He just wanted to make amends with Lebron. But what this does do is show Lebron in a positive light and hopefully help break up misconceptions of playing with Lebron to other FAs. |

Or he realizes the only way he beats Golden State is with LBJ.
Maybe KD was a visionary after all... |

You're changing subjects. I specifically addressed the notion that Kyrie/AD "injuries" are alike. Kyrie's had multiple knee operations; AD's ailments are more pain tolerance IMO.

Chris Fedor has questioned Kyrie's growth:
The point: this narrative that the call to LeBron is proof of Kyrie’s maturation is a narrative that some who know Kyrie well aren’t buying.

Him leaving and signing with us would be the biggest heist in Laker-Celtic history  |

Kyrie is apologizing to Bron for not understanding that being the leader can get ugly and it sometimes means hogging the spotlight (that’s what is going on w Kyrie and the younger Boston guys).
That’s where this story ends. Kyrie has complimented Lebron TONS of times and even said today that he’s the one who taught him how to win a championship. BUT...
It doesn’t change the fact that he does NOT like Lebron..never did like him..especially personally and he would never ever be a part of that circus ever again especially considering he wants to lead his own legacy.
We forget..Kyrie is severely big time..he’s got the mamba mentality and when he’s healthy he’s up there with the best. He’s never carrying Bron’s ball sac ever again. |
