    agree, 3 weeks ago I'd have said it would be a go, but Kyrie isn't helping himself

      @ACT-Crusader it's certainly an interesting experiment.

      question. Trade Kyrie?

      Absolutely. I've been banging this drum for a while. They don't need his offense, but they sure need some defense. They probably can't get Simmons now for him, but even Dort from OKC plus picks would be a great trade.

      ah the mythical Ben Simmons. Is Simmons going to go anywhere to be a defensive role player who can pass? because that's all he is, even if he doesn't want to admit it. And how much are you willing to pay for that?

      Look, I really dislike Simmons, but how absolutely PERFECT is that for a team with Harden, KD and Joe Harris? Imagine him running the break, finding KD in transition or a trailing Harden/Harris?

      At the moment KD is their best defender - they don't need him wearing down over the playoffs because he's on Tatum for 40mins, then LeBron in the finals.

      I reckon I'd look closely at Dort - great defender, shoots the 3 at > 40%. Would OKC take a punt on Kyrie for him? Pretty wild fall from grace for Kyrie if they didnt.

      Jeff Green and Harris aren’t bad defenders. Green is definitely someone that can play on Giannis or Lebron

        Pop quiz for you, how many teams has Jeff Green been on? Don't include Seattle becoming OKC as 2 teams

          Without consulting google I can think of Celtics (twice), Cavs, Nets, Grizzlies, Rockets, Sonics/Thunder, Clippers, Magic

                Second highest amongst active players. Ish Smith has played for 11 and has been in the league a few seasons less than Green.

                Nothing beats Jimmy Jackson though. Didn’t he move around after it all went sour at the Mavs.

                  This Nets v Bucks game has a bit of intensity to it and is now down to the wire.

                        the West is easy

                        if you are the Lakers.

                          Curry on a revenge tour....

                          The most animated I’ve seen Vogel this season. He knew that if the Warriors hung around that Curry would have his moment.

                              Get more shots for Joe Harris 😉

                              Cavs were lights out from 3. They hit 20 of them. Sexton had a career night and the team as a whole shot the ball very well.

                              Jarrett Allen had a nice little game against his former team

                                        Have they had the presser yet where Kyrie throws all the other team mates under the bus? And management?

                                          They actually played okay for their first game. Kyrie and KD got plenty of shots. Harden got plenty of dribbles.

                                          They had a few issues on their pick n roll defence, but Cavs do not shoot 20/40 from 3 on many nights. And they weren’t all wide open shots either.
