I see this point about ticket sales brought up a lot and yeah from a business pov no doubt that Kyrie is worth the 18 mil but to me personally as a fan? I'd want my team making the best basketball move. I could care less about popularity/owner's profits.
It's also widely considered that Irving had a down year and is reasonable to think that he can get better, whereas Thomas' physical limitations might have seen him hit his peak already. Irving has the ability to single handedly win a game for you, I'm not so sure the same can be said about Thomas.
I'm not saying that Irving isn't better or close to as good as Thomas or that he doesn't have more potential. I'm saying he isn't THAT much better. He's not 10 mil better...

Well that's the likely scenario if you don't give him the max, some other team will gladly do it.

If they did Cavs could match. The option isn't give him max or let him go for nothing. It's give him max or trade him.

Why would any team trade for him when they can possibly just not give up anything and sign him outright after his rookie contract is up?

Because they can't. He's an RFA meaning that the Cavs can match any contract he gets.

I expect a great season from Kyrie this year.
With proper coaching and defensive/offensive sets, this Cavs team could really come together and look totally different.
