Kyrie Irving has demanded a trade out of Brooklyn a week before the trade deadline. Should the Detroit Pistons be interested in trading for and then extending the 8-time all-star to a long-term extension?

I’d love Kyrie here in Detroit. However, I don’t think he would want to come to a bottom tier team this late in his career.
I like how on a night the Pistons WIN, the rookies play GREAT and Hayes is an afterthought; you choose Kyrie to be the thumbnail and main topic of discussion 🤔.
The shade and hate is real on this episode of, “Locked on Hayes” 🙄😂.
No
I’m tired of the killian inconsistency…… get him out of here
Yeah but for how long?
No!!!
That flake probably would've told Cade not to get surgery.
I DO NOT want his conspiracy theories/Alex Jones inspired lunacy to poison the young Pistons.
Oh my God no way no Kyrie Irving for the Pistons please do not put a stick of dynamite in a piston system…. this young man is very good but not very stable politically or socially sometimes I wonder about his pre-madonna attitude towards everything
hell naw lol
But if you play him more you have to play Killian less
I’d do it
"What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise." -Oscar Wilde
The answer is hell no. Haven’t watched the pod fully but no amount of Kyrie belongs in the pistons franchise. He is toxic and can’t be trusted to show up on the court. I’ll take a hard pass on that
I wouldn't give Kyrie, Harden, or KD a long term contract. They are flaky af.
No!
Since Hayes was healthy (last year) the Pistons have never voluntarily put him in a position to succeed. First they stuck him out of position in the corner with Cade at Point. At the start of this year the gave him a bench unit that was absolute trash. They then HAD to let him start with the first unit when Cade went down. Hayes produced. (The nonsense about Hayes getting "confidence" was just that. What he got was an opportunity to run a unit with at least a few credible offensive talents.) Then, a few weeks age Casey comes up with the idea to juice the starting line up by inserting Burks. Does Hayes get a chance to run this lineup? No. they again move Hayes to a now depleted inferior lineup. So, yes, Ku is correct that the Pistons have given up on Hayes. And, it is not remarkable that after getting screwed the 3rd time, Hayes body language says has given up on the Pistons. In fact, if I'm Hayes agent I am demanding the Pistons move or release him.
The problem is the Pistons need another back up point guard. There is no one under 30 on the upcoming unrestricted free agent list. Could the Pistons get a mature high performing back up in a trade for Hayes? Not after they have publicly signaled they are done with him. Could the Pistons draft Scoot or another point guard? Perhaps. But then do they demote Ivey to the bench ? You think Ivey is going to be happy and productive in that role?
The Pistons could have kept Hayes at point t when they moved Burks to the starting line up They could have given Ivey 25 to 30 minute a night to "develop" subbing for Burks and Hayes at point. If you noticed, Indiana is brining rookie Maturin off the bench and he looks like an all star. (But then Rick Carlisle is not the type of coach who feels he owes anything to a rookie because he is a high draft choice, nor has he ever over accelerated a rookie's development.) However, the Pistons decided to develop Ivey and knee caped Hayes to do it.
The argument is not that Hayes is a better player than Ivey. The argument is that Pistons would be better off next year with a very productive Hayes and an even better Ivey. And, even if the upcoming draft or free agency means Hayes is superfluous, the Pistons would be better off with a productive/improving Hayes (to trade) than with a beaten down player who the Pistons have given up on.
Nope, No and Hell no. Kyrie is playing extremely well and has earned his salary this year. However let's not forget how he hasn't earned his salary the past 2 seasons. He is playing for a contract has been a top 10 player but he is more of headache than a rebuilding team can handle. I think him asking for a trade proves again he is me first.
With the Pistons luck they will end up with the 2nd pick in the draft. So using Ku's trade from the video that would mean Hayes, Cade, Ivey, Irving, Scoot that is a logjam and a situation where guys improving have to be balanced with Kyrie's minutes for the sake of his ego & feelings
Jaden looked fantastic, I am very excited prospects. He continues to grow. The trade I really want is Durant. My dream scenario would be Cade, Durant, Duren, and Victor. Then build around that. That team would be 🔥.
If we had Kyrie the team would be great to watch Irvan, Cunnigham, Ivey, Bog, Duren? them dudes would be hooping but he would have to be 3 or 4 years younger if he was Ill trade in a heartbeat dude has crazy game!…… Killa has to accept his role if not duces cause Ivey is maturing game by game we supposed to have kept Frank Jackson instead of Corey Jo geesh dude can shoot didn't understand that move and Jackson was cheap.
We will be better next year….kyrie or not.
Bye bye Bojan.
Its probably too late, but the Laker would benefit most from a Kyrie trade.
HELL YEAH!!! Everybody on the block except for Cade, Ivey, and Duren!!!
Ku, that's a HORRIBLE trade for Boston…and I'ma Pistons fan
26:18 Bey just a hog period
Bogey and Killian for Kyrie
Trading for Kyrie would be the same as trading for Blake Griffin. Extremely bad idea.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 your so hurt about Killian
in Dec after the nets-pistons game ended at LCA, Kyrie was walking backstage and saw hooper bike, he jumped on it and rode in hallway for few then talked to couple of people and I managed to get a picture with him. I was shocked at how friendly and down to (flat) earth he was! would definitely love to see him play for Pistons but I agree , his antics doesn't help
No. The pistons would have to give up to much for a player who will ask for a trade in a couple years
Ayton and Irving with Cade make a Big Three. Restored!!!
Kyrie.would get the Pistons attention from the national media. Kyrie = drama/media attention.
Pistons should only be a third team that helps facilitate a kyrie trade to get a pick.
The previous game saddiq tried to play hero ball and score instead of passing the ball to wide open Duren. This game instead of forcing a shot after getting the pass from Ivey; Duren makes the perfect pass to the wide open Saddiq for the dagger. Duren upside is tremendous and looking like a steal for the pistons. Honestly unless I see improvement in Saddiq's court awareness I think his ceiling is a 20 point scorer off the bench(which isn't a bad thing)
No… you're giving up way too much for a guy who's just gonna leave in the off season to sign with the Lakers, who will have the cap to sign him to a max
Ku, who says no here?
Pistons get Russ, two unprotected firsts from the lakers
Nets get bojan, Alec Burks, Schroeder, and leftover 2nds from Lakers
Lakers get kyrie and nerlen s noel
Hell no Kyrie Irving is cancer to every team he played for
