    Skip Bayless and wise are things you don't often see in the same sentence. Creepy parents with bad boundaries and impulse control are funny to you? I'd make a politics joke but then I'd have to card myself. :)

    Unlike some father/son combos the only BS the Balls are selling is overpriced shoes.

    This isn't about "impulse control". This is a calculated act put on by LaVar to enhance the brand through publicity stunts. Fact is, Lonzo is probably one of the most discussed athletes of recent draft times, and a big part of that is LaVatr making the rounds on sports talk shows drawing attention to himself and by extension his son. Nobody would've gave a crap about Lonzo's overpriced shoes were it not for LaVar putting himself out there, playing a character on TV.

    The most annoying father and child is Curry and his daughter (and insufferable wife)

    According to Woj, Kyrie has asked to be traded from Cleveland. Possible destination is San Antonio.

    That's been all over for several hours. To me, this just means that LeBron has let him know that he is probably out after next season.

    Woj also said that his sources stated LeBron was caught off guard by his move and is very disappointed.

    Woj is always right so.. Idk.. That doesn't seem to be the case. Kyrie doesn't wanna be #2 anymore.

    Kyrie is very overrated imo

    Horrific defender and inconsistent scorer and average passer

    Playground player

    I know he hit a clutch shot last year but I really prefer a guy like John wall

    Kyrie is fooling himself if he thinks he has what it takes to run a winning team as the MAN. LeBron optimizes him by taking on the role of facilitator getting everyone involved, running the offence, and sucking defensive attention for Irving to focus on scoring one-on-one. When LeBron is absent, the Cavs' record is mediocre to abysmal, and that includes games where Irving was supposed to lead the team. Irving is a great iso scorer, but he doesn't bring much else to the table. He couldn't do jack to get his team winning before LeBron, and my bet is if he tries to go somewhere where he'll be the undisputed primary guy, he won't do jack after LeBron.

    I think he's underrated. Great finisher, great ball handler, not as bad defensively as people make him out to be. Can get to the rim at will and a great shooter. Put him on San Antonio and they're competitive against GS. Losing him also takes Cleveland out of competition for a title, even if they get some value in return.

    I was surprised by the news however. I don't think he necesarilly needs a bigger role on the court, rather a bigger one in the organization. Also, it wouldn't be the first that a star requested for a trade and later on changed their mind.

    Don't see that John Wall trade happening. They won't get the same value in return. You never do.

    Kyrie can score (and cross over)better than Wall. What else?

    Winning a ring doesnt make you a better player.
    Besides, before LeBron, Kyrie's Cavs teams won 20 games a season st best.
