Not at all interested in Kyrie. His numbers are inflated playing next to lebron. If we give up any of our young core, it is a major step back.

I'd do Bledsoe, Chriss, and Miami pick. I think that is worth the risk but, I'd prefer to be the 3rd team as others have pointed out bringing both Bled and Chandler to the table. Booker/Jackson.our own picks all have to stay. I have no idea how Fox's name is getting thrown into this, but yea if we had a shot to get him I'm absolutely doing it.
Sacramento was mentioned as someone interested in Kyrie with Fox being their bait. Cleveland would seem to have more interest in Bledsoe than Fox.
Fox to Phoenix, Bledsoe to Cleveland, Irving to Sacramento.

Thanks for the erection.
While I would love to have Kyrie, this one works for me too. A guard rotation of Fox, Bledsoe, Ulis, and Reed would be a ball to watch.

A 2 dimensional plane only has 2 surfaces - the top and bottom. A "sphere" only has 2 surfaces - the inside and the outside. "Sphere" theory has never been proven. So called "spheres" are just 2D planes folded over on themselves. Therefore, they are flat. Get woke.

Kyrie told the media he believed the Flat Earth theory.
And he was being serious.
So he's never seen a picture of the earth from space? How do they get around that? They claim it's fake?

Yes. Yes, that is exactly what they say.

Well, I don't know what to say. But it does raise red flags about Irving's intelligence. Or at the very least, his gullability.

We've seen already in JJ what we have only imagined with Chriss and Bender, imposible that the FO have not seen it too. Hopefully, he is for real out of limits.

Now, that Fox-Bledsoe-Irving swap sounds great, how would you guys would balance it?

I'm not a huge fan of Kyrie, but his number are very similar to what they were as a rookie with no Lebron. If Lebron has affected his numbers, it's to keep them down because Kyrie doesn't run the offense like he otherwise would. And let's be honest - it's not really about the numbers with Kyrie. It's the crazy clutch scoring.

I did some googling on this and I think you might be on to something. I'll have to do quite a bit more extensive research!

I'm glad for this. I recognize that Kyrie is a legit star, and that Jackson is an unproven rookie, but I guess all these years of rooting against Kyrie and the Cavs has affected me. I just don't want Kyrie, even though I think he's a stud. I want our guys + a distributing PG. I'd be thrilled with Fox or Frank, partly because they aren't the enemy yet.

I feel like I must be crazy or something. You guys really wouldn't give up an unproven rookie who can't shoot for an All-Star who's got a ring, single-handedly won Finals games for his team, and is a threat to go off for 30+ every night? Who is 25 years old, on a very reasonable contract for 2-3 more years, and is looking for a new situation? One of probably the top 10-12 players in the NBA, the kind of player who is rarely gettable in a trade?

Singlehandedly won finals games is a far reach. The data shows that he's not that good without Lebron.
I don't think he's a top 12 NBA player either. His skills also don't mesh too well with our future star, and by the time our team peak he may be out of here.
If he's willing to get out of the team that's been in the finals the last 2 years, what he'll do when the Suns realize they can't win with him being 1A?

This is reassuring:

Suns inform Josh Jackson he will not be part of any Kyrie Irving trade
