Kyrie for Zack??

The Bulls should 100% pursue this.

This team, as currently constructed, isn't gonna do shit. May as well role the dice with crazy Kyrie.

No they shouldn’t, but doesn’t matter…kyrie ain’t coming to Chicago. He’s going to LA to play with lebron and AD

I love his game but Kyrie isn't making us a contender any more than Zach is and is older and less tradable.

That's the agenda media is gonna put out naturally. Trade Westbrook for Kyrie (the salaries don't even match lol)

Yep, unless you have a LeBron level talent (prime), both guys are #3s. Would be a lateral move

The salaries are close enough to make a deal work with throwing a player in. Obviously, the real catch is the lakers first round picks in a few years

with kyrie demanding a trade, I’d love to see the grizzlies go after Durant.

imagine a starting 5 of Adams, jaren jackson(new all star btw), Durant, Bane, and Morant

thats a team that’ll win it all

I guess we'll get to see after all how Luka likes playing with another ball dominant iso player

Idk but im getting the feeling that this going to be like the time Iverson/Melo were paired up.

Meh, kinda but not really. One thing Kyrie has shown is a willingness to play second fiddle to the likes of Durant. Kyrie has turned into an excellent off ball player. Whereas, demar(the guy we discussed shipping to Dallas) has never shown that ability

It’s kind of a weird match. Think Luka could use a Pippen type peremiter defender….but he definitely needs some offensive help that Kyrie can provide. Will be interesting

Demar has also never really had to play second fiddle to anyone, except maybe here with Zach.

Imo the whole "two ball dominant guys can't play together" idea is overblown anyway. We've seen it done time and time again
