If I am Kyrie I am doing the same thing.
Don’t go down with a sinking ship, because once LeBron leaves it is going to go all downhill. While they are trying to recruit another star for another run at the Warriors, signs point to LeBron at least entertaining the idea of leaving in 2018.
Kyrie is paying close attention according to this report from Chicago Sun Times.
All-Star Kyrie Irving has been contacting some of his former Team USA teammates and letting them know that he might be willing to push for a trade, especially if he feels the Cavs’ run could end quickly with James able to opt out after next season.
Through back channels, Chicago would be one of the places that Irving would be interested to play.
Clearly the asking price for Irving would be too rich for what the Bulls have, and a third team would also have to be brought into that mix.
It will be very interesting to see how all these things shake out over the next year.
