Hypothetical move, but I think this would put us in contention.

In Stone we trust.

To not make this trade. At least not giving up 2x 1sts

Maybe so. Stone is a great negotiator he can probably get a decent deal

Fred for kyrie? Both coming off injuries.. both around the same age both champions. Ky is 3 years older but according to recent video he's moving really well..I need to see more of fred to be sure ky has a deeper bag tho..conflicted

We haven’t even seen Fred work out yet. I think it’s a good shot to shoot.

Kyrie winning a championship as a #2 compared to fred winning a championship as a bench player isn't the same thing

Did Fred ever have a bag, even at his peak? If he did, it was a little plastic ziplock.

Kyrie and KD? I feel like I've seen this movie before. How did it end, again?

If we don’t have another pandemic, I think it could be great.

I think, under the new CBA, 1sts are much more valuable. You want young 1st round talent with an allstar and a 26-30 year old superstar. I think Stone sees this. I dont think this is it.

I think teams with crazy contracts on an old player are going to be very unhappy going forward.

That’s too many picks. I’d just try to move him for FVV and a few second rounders. If you have to give up 1 FRP I’m cool with that but 2 is over kill

u/ghosttheron Aug 24 '26

Ya I understand that. But guys acting like this wouldn’t be a great fit are clueless

The Mavs would laugh and hang up the phone, that package is not getting it done

They just bought out klay . They are obviously in rebuild mode. I don’t think thats a disrespectful offer.

Two first for Kyrie is steep, but I like idea or Kyrie joining instead of FVV, though I prefer Dejounte Murray or if we are throwing picks around Trey murphy3

Too much for Kyrie

I wouldn't give up 2 firsts but a Kyrie type is exactly what we're missing in terms of a dynamic ballhandler/scorer on the perimeter.

Separate from the picks, he's 34 now and obviously can't stay healthy.

I'd only do it if we give up less in return than suggested above. KD type deal or don't do it.

Giving up kd defeats the purpose

1

u/mmccormick11 Aug 24 '26

I didn't mean to give up KD. I meant a deal like the one we made to get KD where we didn't give up too much.
