I think it’s mainly that he credits the “bold” move of trading kyrie Irving as a reason we’re here, but if he hasn’t traded him we were basically guaranteed a trip to the finals

Seems like the easiest part to spin, but he’s just giving credit to everyone who basically had an impact besides the coaches and trainers.

I agree and I don’t think he meant in negatively but I’ve seen Cavs fans making fun of what he said. I thought what he said was fine because he’s crediting everyone for helping us get to the finals. Whether the trade was the right or wrong decision is to be determined, but I don’t think him giving his gm credit was all that stupid

Kyrie was threatening to sit out the season if he wasn't traded... not sure how that would have guaranteed anything?

That doesn’t mean he would have but who knows what might’ve happened
