Bobby Marks on Kyrie (nothing ggroundbreaking)

Totally agree with Marks. Masai is no Jerry. Jerry by now would've held a press conference and said:

"Well, uhhhhhh, Kyrie is great, but, uhhhhhh, we just don't really feel he...uhhhhhhhhhh, fits Coop's timeline. We'll, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, be looking to trade him as soon as possible. If someone wants to give us a...uhhhhhhhhh, a 2nd rounder, we're certainly not going to turn that down." 

Reporter: "Do you think you should be openly showing your hand like that?"

Jerry: "Do you like those Super Bowls? I hope you do. I hope you do very much!"

That said, I think Masai knows exactly what he's doing. He knows that Kyrie is the best chip to get someone that fits next to Cooper, and maximizing his value is to take advantage of other's urgency, while remaining cool like Fonzie.
