Kyrie might be willing to sign for the taxpayer MLE?

MLE: Delon WrightIf you could choose one MLE guy and two vet min guys, who would they be?
They could add Forrest and be the worst shooting team of all-time.So Westbrook and Simmons on the same team WOW!
I think the most logical and probably only realistic trade (also picks will be involved)Westbrook would have to be part of that offer.
I'd want either Boucher or Anderson with the MLE and Gary Harris plus one of Jalen Smith/Jarrett Culver/Josh Jackson on a minimum deal.Guys I'd consider at the MLE
Victor Oladipo (if we move one of our three guards in another move)
Kyle Anderson
Chris Boucher
Otto Porter Jr
Partial MLE, minimums
Nic Batum
Gary Harris
Thad Young
TJ Warren
Joe Ingles
Ricky Rubio
Danuel House
Damion Lee
Things could change very quickly in Brooklyn.I want Bruce Brown, but I doubt we get him without a sign and trade.
Rudy for Ben Simmons and Bruce Brown? Edit: I just can't stand SimmonsThings could change very quickly in Brooklyn.
Rudy for Ben Simmons and Bruce Brown?
100% healthy and sane Ben Simmons, maybe. Whatever Ben has become in the last couple years, you're absolutely right.If I'm the Jazz, there's no way I'm trading one of the most durable stars in the league for Ben Simmons.
Never learned to shoot and his bully-ball "Im bigger and stronger than college players" style didnt translate.I see the Twolves jettisoned Josh Okogie. He was taken one pick higher than Grayson Allen in the 2018 NBA Draft.
He has injury concerns but he's a baller, lol. Dude has averaged 27 ppg for 3 straight years on basically 50/40/90 splits.LeBron leaves Cleveland. They become the worst team in the NBA. They draft Kyrie. Cleveland is the worst team in the NBA for a few years.
LeBron shows up, takes Kyrie to the Finals where he gets hurt, helps them win the title, then gets hurt again.
Kyrie then demands out and goes to Boston who actually have more playoff success without Kyrie than with him.
Then Kyrie goes to Brooklyn where he has completely failed.
Why does anybody care about Kyrie? He played a few amazing games in the 2016 playoffs and hit one amazing shot. Without LeBron, the guy is a massively overpaid loser. Worse than Westbrook.
He lost a ton of money by refusing not to get the shot. I dont think it was out of the question at all.Dude was never going to take a $30M pay cut.
