Shams: Nico to be fired today!

[loki]

For me, and I know this isn't the most popular thing to say, but...IF moving AD out is the direction they're going to choose, I think it's pretty silly to keep Kyrie. 

You're either trying to win or you're not, and if you're not, then get busy trying to find the NEXT PG.

The difficult part of a Kyrie trade would be trying to get him onboard with pissing him off. A checked out Kyrie isn't worth much to other teams (or the Mavs for that matter). Wherever you send him, they're going to want assurances that he WANTS to be there. 

Depending on the return the Mavs get in an AD trade, they may also need to be in contention again next year due to the draft pick situation. That also makes me less enthusiastic about moving on from Kyrie.
