HALLELUKA: Luka Clinches All-NBA 1st team. 4th in 5 years

It's 2 weeks old but it's a quote from Jake Fischer after the Kyrie trade. Fischer definitely has his sources, although I will say I use to not believe him.

I don't see the doomsday scenario that you're seeing. Kyrie wants his 4-5 year max. Literally the only team that can offer that is Dallas. Lakers would have to sign and trade either Lebron, AD, or 3 guys on their roster (and then they're stuck with merry minimums).

PHX has to trade 2 of CP3, Ayton, Booker, or KD to avoid hard cap issues. 

Any other team is tanking. If Wood walks, that's an asset wasted, but I'm not losing sleep over losing Wood.


Edit: I will say though, the only out-of-nowhere tanking team that could have a shot is Houston, if the Harden to Houston rumors are to be believed. That long embrace after the PHI win between Kyrie and Harden stood out to me. I hope it's nothing though.

I don't see it as anything but window dressing. Harden and everyone else knows Kyrie can flake out at anytime, so I doubt he wants to go down that road again. Hopefully he's on his best behavior while he's here, but his reputation is already sealed.
