Not trading for Cousins would be dumb just because he has 1 year. Either you like Cousins (or anyone) and think he helps win a title or not. If yes, make the deal if not, don't make the deal. But it shouldn't have anything to do with years.
But that's just my thought process. I'm sure most disagree. But, to me, there is no "future" with the Cavs past LeBron. It becomes an immediate rebuild.
I think your thought process is spot on.
Unless Kyrie has napalmed the situation, LBJ should be the bigger man, they should all sit down and try to come to some kind of an agreement, at least for 2017-18. KI is not going to be dealt to a better situation than Cleveland.
Although I do kind of see Kyrie's mindset in that you don't play "with" Lebron, you play "for" him and his ring chase.
Hell, I think Kobe asked to be traded 2-3 times from LA and he never left there. Cavs have the power here. They don't HAVE to deal KI.
I'd see if they can get them to play together one more year and then see what Lebron does. Should he decide to leave, as you said, they are going to blow this up and KI & Love will be dealt anyhow.
Again the Cavs, NOT Kyrie, have the power here.
