The negotiation is the pick (s) included. Would I do it? Not sure, but I am quite confident a Kyrie trade is going to happen over the next year. I thought it would be at the trading deadline or next offseason, but maybe that changes if an offer is too good to pass.
That is a lot. Fred was playing at a high level before he got injured and he is two years younger than Kyrie. Smith is a quality young 3&D player who was playing 35 minutes a game. Not sure that will be a package Houston is willing to give up even without the pick.
