The truth is [Kyries] camp has been putting out there for years years that he doesnt want to be in Cleveland. That they dont want him in Cleveland. He doesnt like Mike Brown. He didnt like Chris Grant. He doesnt like Dion Waiters. Hes already gotten a General Manager fired. He might get Mike Brown fired. This is the last time once he signs he loses all of his leverage so this is the last time he gets to enact leverage. I know hes said all the right things so, fine, on July 1, when they offer a max contract which they will and I dont even know if hes a max player, but you have to sign him sign a five year, no out. Thats what a max contract is. A max contract is five years, no out. If you want out or you want three years, thats not a max contract. You want three years? Okay, well give you $12 million a year. Were not giving you the full thing.

I think this is very elementary from Dan Gilberts perspective. If Kyrie wants to play for Team USA, hes going to have to do his deal before mid-July when he goes to play for it and hell either take the five years or he wont. If the answer is no to five years, he goes on the trade block. Period. I think its pretty simple.
Cleveland will offer one this summer and Kyrie Irving will sign it. Hes making $5.6 million this year, the first year of his extension will be north of $14 million (we dont know the exact figures, it would be 25 percent of the salary cap that year). You sign that deal because it is set your family up for generations money. Everyone signs it LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard and maybe next Kevin Love forced their way out of situations, but they signed that extension and played a few more years under it first.

However, dont mistake that with Kyrie Irving being happy in Cleveland which means he may ask for an opt-out after three seasons (as LeBron did in Cleveland, just to point out the scar).

No doubt he stays though. I just bet he will have more of a say in team matters cause they don't wanna see him walk out.

Apparently not wanting to be here but still going to sign the max because no one takes the qualifying offer, as I've continuously said and been ridiculed for.
 
Thanks for the new info Windy, and by new info I mean info that you choose to recycle during one of the Cavs better stretches, right before probably their most meaningful game since LeBron left.
