Kyrie lucked out, ending up in Dallas. Cuban has the money to pay him, no problem. If he does well over the next 3 months, he might get paid. Paying Kyrie long-term is always a bad idea. Dallas gave up some decent pieces, so they need some kind of return on Kyrie. This isn't really a rental situation. They made this trade thinking long-term. The problem is Kyrie is a horrible long-term investment

[@Jry088]

They will pay Luka way before they even consider paying Kyrie

[@d0uble0]

Cuban is smart with his money, if Kyrie doesn't change or behaves like he did in Brooklyn, he will not sign him for what Kyrie is asking -- $200/4yrs. I'm not sure which owner is willing to shell out that money without a guarantee that he plays majority of his contract. If I'm the owner, I'll structure it with a guaranteed money and then bonus pay after X games played. It's going to be interesting what happens in the off season.

As a BK native, KD is turning 35 years old. I would take whatever deal we can that includes Simmons. At this point, Simmons max won't let us build a team anyway. We have to dig ourselves out of this hole before we even worry about building a team. KD for anything reasonable at this point, work on a buy out for Simmons in the off-season (he'll take it, he wants to be a celebrity not a basketball player).
