Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[RasheedsBigWhiteSpot]

I think for most folks open to trading Kyrie it's not about his impact on the court today.  Its about his impact on the court in his late 30s when this team is ready to contend.  They are looking at the realities of a long term rebuild around a 19 year old with very limited assets.  From that perspective it would make sense to get maximum asset return for a mid 30s player.

Not only that, but a big part of the appeal of Kyrie is that his contract is relatively cheap. He could ball out this season and then opt-out next off-season, and walk for nothing.
