    What a little bitch boy.

    Don't look for a better job, do a better job Kyrie.
    I stopped reading at "chad ford." The same guy who cited a waiter in Chicago in reference to Lebron of going to chi town.

    This team is absolute trash. Ill probably be taking a week or 2 break from watching them at all. They aren't even remotely fun to watch anymore.
  • Pick6
    so Tiernan, can i start serving my ban now?

    done with this fucking shit show unless some changes are made, and soon.
  • Commander of Awesome
    This is no fucking reason this team should be this bad. Not sure who to blame. Players, coaches, gm, fo and bill Simmons can all GFT.

    If you were guaranteed a top 3 pick in this year's draft for Kyrie, would you take it?

    Yes, Kyrie is not a franchise elite player. Might as well try again
  • Midstate01
    Kyrie is awesome on offense. But I've seen 6th graders who can player better defense. He screws his teammates over and over. Ppl keep talking about him going to LA. But kobe would kill him.

    No way I'd give up Kyrie for a top 3 pick this year

    You can't have a lone superstar and expect to be very good.
  • ohiobucks1
    I'd give up Kyrie for #1. I'm not convinced he's a leader and I'd rather us build around Dion and a SF or C.
  • Lovejoy1984
    If we keep our pick, then yes. Movie Kyrie for the #1 pick.

    Starting 5 next year of

    Marcus Smart/Exum (Taken with CLE pick)
    Dion Waiters
    Deng
    Thompson
    Embiid (Taken #1)

    A superstar is supposed to elevate the players around him.
  • Mulva
    Also, building around Waiters? If anything, he's regressed this year. If you're an advanced stats guy, his numbers are atrocious.

    427th in the NBA in offensive win shares, 200th in defensive win shares
    370th in total win shares/48
    313th in true shooting %
    250th in PER
    Negative wins produced for the season

    Mike Brown and anyone who thought it was a good idea to hire Mike Brown. The guy is simply not a NBA head coach. He couldn't get it done with LeBron. He sucked in LA. What made anyone think he was good at that point?
  • Rotinaj
    Yea, lets trade our 21 year old AS PG for a draft pick. Forget the fact that our coach is a moron and about half of the team doesn't deserve to be in the league.

    He's wide open. Our all star decided to go 1 on 3 instead of dishing it.
  • pmoney25
    Other than Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas has a team where the Point Guard was the best player ever won a title?

    Magic almost doesn't count since he could play pretty much any position.

    I just don't think Kyrie is elite or going to be elite.
  • bases_loaded
    I don't think there are many GMs around the league that think hes elite either...you would have to lose a trade if you trade him.
  • wes_mantooth
    Kyrie is an all star because of his marketing as Uncle Drew...he doesn't deserve to be a there this year. There are plenty of other more deserving players who actually play defense and elevate the play of their teammates.

    He's wide open 5 feet behind the 3 point line. That is a retarded vine and a retarded link to post to make a point.
  • Rotinaj
    The funny thing is Waiters does the same shit. I just don't think those 2 are good together.

    Point is, anyone can take a 5 second video of a basketball game and make an out-of-context point.
