The Kyrie Thread

[tap2390]

Can't believe we don't have one yet. Figured we need to separate this from the other trade deadline talk.

Short term I think Kyrie is going to play extremely well the rest of the season and in playoffs. He will also be on his best behavior with an eye towards securing a deal this offseason.

Long term I really don't see a better situation for Kyrie around the league. Mavs can give him more than any other team, have the best non-Giannis player in the league, and he gets to generally do his thing with less media than he's used to in Dallas. Time will tell, but why leave that to team up with a 39-year-old Lebron and alway hurt AD?
