Sixers Reportedly on Kyrie Irving’s Sign-and-Trade List
Published:
Slow NBA draft day up until now:
Those are teams who Irving has interest in, but he isn’t necessarily a priority for all of them, sources said.

Eh.
Kyrie is awesome but he’s a head case. Total weirdo. No clue how many games he’ll even play. Sixers would have to shed salary and they just worked a huge deal with Brooklyn.
But what about James Harden to the Nets? Harden for Kyrie straight up! Who says no?
Either way, I think the move tonight is to trade the 23rd pick for someone who can contribute this year. Even if you stumble upon another Tyrese Maxey, you’re looking at year two for that guy to begin to show, and this window is shrinking rapidly. Daryl Morey, time’s yours.
