Also worth noting that we have him locked up on one of the best contracts in the NBA until 2020. By the next time he reaches FA (at age 28), assuming he avoids major injuries, he's on pace to be WELL beyond Carr, Price, Daugherty and Z's 10,000ish point range - he'll be around 13,000 and second only to LeBron at that point. And still in his prime.

Depends on how many chances Kyrie gets at a championship winning shot. The numbers are equal.

So give me a number. How many more does this group win? Or is your money on the Warriors?

I think maybe one more. Probably next year after the Warriors have to break their core up to keep KD and Steph. I think GS gets us this year unfortunately. And looking beyond that LeBron is getting into 34, 35 years old* and who the fuck knows what level he will be playing at? He's doing everything he can to stay effective longer but hey, if you'd told someone in 2008 Tiger would never win another big golf tournenebt...

*One reason to be hopeful about this time period; Kyrie and Love will still be under good contracts here and in their prime. BUT ask the Clippers how far an All Star PG and PF get you. Elite wings win championships in this league. In the 26 NBA Finals since 1991 Michael, Kobe, and LeBron have played in 20 of them.

The game winner over Klay was insanely clutch, that was some flawless defense Klay was playing but Kyrie just found a way.
Not long before that there was another possession that got me out of my chair. Kyrie took Durant one on one off the dribble beautifully. Kyrie revved up to make his move out at the 3 point line and I was like "wtf is he thinking?!?!" KD's got a 7'5" wingspan and is quick as a snake, I thought this was an easy block waiting to happen. But Kyrie hit him with a little mini left handed skyhook and got it up and over the block to tie the game.
It's at the 7:45 mark in this video. A point guard shouldn't be able to do that against KD.

And of course, we had this. Beautiful, but he should have gotten a technical for hanging on the rim.

The Cavs are going to have a rough 8 or so game stretch coming up. This is where they lose a few in a row and people lose their minds. It's January. Doesn't really matter.

I was trying to figure out what player Kay Felder reminded me of last night and it finally hit me: Maurice Jones Drew.
Maybe Felder picked the wrong sport, he looks like he'd have been a hell of a running back.
Maybe he didn't. Backup point guards make more cash than Star running backs.

Hopefully he can fill the role that Dunleavy was expected to play when we brought him in.
This is going to cost us defensively, as I don't see how we pull this off without giving up Shumpert.

Dunleavy part of the deal. Looks to be a three team deal.

Sounds like it's a future 1st & Dunleavy for Korver, then they swapped 1sts with Portland in 17 & 18 & they saved $
