There were rumbles that my Cavs might be able to get him, but I guess it was not meant to be. I hope Phoenix can fix whatever is wrong with their organization. I don't follow them that closely these days, them being in the west, but I remember the Steve Nash days and enjoyed watching them then.
As far as the Cavs are concerned, losing Kyrie was definitely a big blow. My wife and I thought before the season began that we seemed to be assembling a bunch of parts and expecting the whole thing to work because of LeBron's undeniable brilliance and will to win. She called our team the official team of the AARP, and maybe she was not far off.
Maybe things will settle down when Thomas is back and everybody settles into a realistic role.
I wonder sometimes if anyone has ever done a study of how players relate to each other on a team with a single incandescent talent. It can't be easy playing with LeBron--the amazing talent, the freakish basketball IQ, the larger-than-life ego. How was it playing with Jordan, or Kobe in his prime? Not easy, I'm sure.
