They've already decided that Rose will be the backup PG, not starter.

I still don't believe Kyrie is happy and unsure of his future with the team

This whole situation is so dumb... he won't be the main option for any of the teams he's targeting, except maybe Miami, and LeBron will only help his career in the long run.... I'd rather be in finals contention every year, then being a lottery team / barely making the playoffs. Maybe he just hates Cleveland in general, idk though..

That city is pretty bad I don't blame him lol

Yeah, and I don't blame him if it's about that. He knows Cleveland is his best chance to win another ring, and the only reason he wouldn't resign is if he wants to pull a Carmelo and go straight for the $ / better life. I don't blame him if he does because in the end the NBA is a business, and it's a players job, so I see where he would be coming from in that regard.

Even if Kyrie doesn't stay, they've already stated that Rose will stay backup PG and they will target in the trade another PG to replace him.

Like who? If they trade Kyrie and don't get a PG back, Rose is starting. There isn't a better PG available for them to target right now unless its in a trade for Kyrie.

Z. Randolph to be the role model of the Kings just got arrested lol.

He was the same in Memphis but some sources say they let his business slide cause of all that he brought to the city of Memphis

To be honest I don't know, The golden state being the powerhouse that they are with 4 all stars on a team. kinda hoping that the rockets can snag carmelo because if your active on social media you would have seen his workout videos. But i still believe lebron will pull something to be golden state.

 

[Amazer]

Doubt the Rockets get Melo

I wonder if the 'process' will finally pay off. I'm excited to see how Ben Simmons plays though. The guy had so much hype behind him, dubbed as the next Lebron lol.

I predict bust tbh

I think he might grow into a 14-20 pt with 5 rb player. I think the media hype up these guys way too much. Lonzo Ball is supposed to bring the Lakers to the playoffs this season lol.

hes also rated at a 80 over drose's 78 in 2k rofl

Rose rated at 78 is a travesty. He had his best season in years offensively and was very efficient. I understand his D was horrible but he was still flying dunking and eluding like he used to in his prime

It's stupid that how Lonzo Ball that haven't played an official NBA game and is rated higher than drose lol. I do think 2m for drose is a steal though, good production off the bench. if the chemistry between the cavs are as bad as the media portrays, i can't see them beating the warriors unless some big injury happens to their big 4.

And even with a big injury, they still have insane offensive potential. It will be hard to beat them either way, I can see a healthy Spurs team with Kawhi and Kyrie maaaybe taking a series in 7 though.

Kyrie Irving willing to sign extension with Spurs if traded, report says

I still don't see Kyrie being the first option in the Spurs system though.
