But, if true, that’s good news for Dallas. I don’t think Phoenix makes sense at all. Philly (if Harden goes to Houston) and Miami seem to be the biggest threats for Kyrie in my mind. But, IF we are his best option and IF we can get him at a number that doesn’t limit our other options too much, it is the best thing that can happen. It would be really interesting to know what Nico/Cuban knows right now. Is it in the bag? Do they feel insecure? And, what approach do you take to draft night based on what you do or don’t know about Kyrie?
I am pretty sure Mavs and Kyrie already agreed on the deal when trade was done. At least I hope they have.
Other than that, I would have two fears:
- Kyrie willing to take much less to go where he wants to (caused by Mavs lowballing him)
- Houston, if they fail with Harden. Their Green has been talking high praise about Kyrie.
