I saw the rumors on twitter. Thought I would come here and see 100 or more post and thoughts. But I see nothing so here it is. Was it just talk? Did we listen to offer? Did we make offer?

There is really no way this rumor makes sense. Just jun probably put out there by Iriving's agent to gin up interest among OTHER teams. The disgruntled star only whats to play for top teams (look at their list) but his big complaint is being in LBJ's shadow - so go figure. At any rate no way does he want to be Sac, no way he stays so in the end a trade for him ends in a talent bleed just when the team is in a position to ass the young players they have.

Unfounded rumor or not, I'd say no. Never been a big Irving fan and would rather see what the Kings have in Fox before I'd consider moving him. Sure, the argument will be made that Irving is a sure thing while a rookie that has yet to play a game such as Fox isn't. While certainly true, Irving style of play, attitude and lack of defense doesn't fit with what the Kings have been trying to build lately.

Not only that, the Kings would have to go be up even more than Fox to make a deal work and that's too high a price to pay. While Irving is a very good player, he's not LeBron James or Kawhi Leonard good IMO. Those are players you'd move the farm for.

You see nothing here because most of our members pay no attention whatsoever to Sam Amico. :p

Even discussing the rumor gives more credence to Amico than he deserves IMHO.

Closed since it's been totally debunked AND it was under discussion in the Kyrie Irving thread in the NBA forum. :)
