espn article: Chris Paul / Kyrie Irving swap

[aj1987]

LeBron needs 3&D guys. CP3 would be a terrible fit.

[Dr Hawk]

Ideal team for Lebron:

Curry
Thompson
Kawhi
Dirk
Lebron at C, focused on intangibles

Ideal team for Lebron:

Curry
Thompson
Kawhi
Dirk
Lebron at C, focused on intangibles

I think the ideal team for LeBron would be something like:
PG: Pat Beverly
SG: Klay Thompson
SF: Danny Green
PF: LeBron
C: Rudy Gobert

Bench:
PG: Mario Chalmers
SG: Allen Crabbe
SF: Justice Winslow
PF: Taj Gibson
C: Steven Adams
Bench Warmers: Mike Miller and James Jones (Essential for a LeBron title team)

You would rather trade Lebron Iso ball for CP3 Iso ball?

Kyrie for CP3
Love for Melo

Lebron gets to play with his BFF's yet again.

For CP3 and Bron to play on the same squad, Bron SHOULD have to alter his game more than CP3. Which would mean playing more of traditional SF role with the point forward shit mixed in. With CP3, he wouldn't have to use his point forward skills as much. Bron could focus on scoring more and use his athletic ability to dominate a la Nique and Dr. J.

BUT passing wise, Bron could use the Larry Bird approach of dominating passing. Bird was NEVER the primary ball handler of the Celtics. However, he was always the best passer on the team. Bird dominated passing from a stationary position or off a single dribble or two. He wasn't a point forward in the vein of Bron, Pippen, Hill, etc. BUT Bird was just as good or better passing the rock.

If Bron made those tweaks with a PG like CP3, they would work great together. But in general, Bron is BEST as his team's primary ball handler. Which MEANS scoring PG's who can shoot like a Curry, Irving, and Lillard are his best fits.

Clippers laugh in their face

Yes, after making the trade.

basically lebron needs 8+ other players on his team who don't want to touch the ball except right before shoot or inbetween lebron touching the ball again. basically no superstars, lmao.

[Sarcastic]

Melo to the Cavs would be the best trade for Cleveland. Melo playing off ball would be like Olympics Melo. Knicks wouldn't want Love though. Would have to get a third team involved.

[choppermagic]

How much more 'help' does LeBron* need? Why not just give him the entire fucking all-star team.

Because then his All Star teammates would instantly become scrubs in the eyes of ESPN and take all the blame for not letting Lebron achieve his greatness.

[smoovegittar]

CP3 joins Cavs, they should rename the team "Cleveland Bitches".

[Done_And_Done]

This move could possibly elevate or de'elevate the Cavs to being the most unlikable team in league history. Step aside Heatles...

[HoopSuperstar]

K. Irving & T, Thompson plus draft picks or something. for C.Paul & D. Jordan

Kyrie is a young dude, while clippers may never get over the hump and never get anything in exchange for Chris Paul. I know this is a long shot to get Jordan, but who knows. He did want to leave, but stayed for a chance at the title.

This would put Cleveland in a good position to get the pieces they're looking for. K.Irving might never fit in with Lebron. I trade love too for another forward who can play better defense (NY). And Mo. Williams for Kevin Martin.

[Duderonomy]

Love for Griffen is more realistic at this point.

[Funktion]

If CP3 leaves Deandre
