what 5 players would you move Irving for considering you have him locked up through 2020?

I'm not trading him unless I get back a guy I have under control through at least 2019 and who significantly improves my chances of beating the Warriors when paired with Lebron, and I don't think the Spurs are interested in dealing Kawhi.

Bigs are out the question because you can gameplan for a big man too easily.


5 is hard but KD, Kawhi, LeBron.

I cant name 5.


I cant think of a single team who has a trade package good enough that id take it for Kyrie.

All the teams that do probably wouldn't trade their good players because they want to win now or in the near future.

I could be talked into Damien Lillard, who is maybe a shade under Irving, but is locked up for a long time and hasn't had the injury history. Not sure he changes anything vs GS.

Maybe the Greek Freak, but why would Bucks do it, and you'd need some real floor stretchers as the lane would be packed.

Kyrie and Lillard are pretty much the same guy. Dame is just a little older. I wouldn't do it.
 
Kyrie is untradeable, so it seems, for one reason and one reason only. Lebron James loves him. That's it.
 
Just need the kid healthy and with a summer off.

I'm expecting Huge things from Kyrie next year.

He'll be in the MVP discussion at some point next year.

Kyries only real flaw is he doesn't like playing defense. If he gets the mindset to play D, he is a no doubt HOFer.

Hes already a lock with 1 or 2 more rings


defense and lack of ability to run an elite level offense as its point guard are his flaws.

But Im cool with those flaws since hes probably the best 1 on 1 player in the league. We cant be greedy lol

I always read the game threads and see ppl get mad at him for not being a Chris Paul type PG but then he drops 40 in a close win and ppl cant stop riding his jock.

Like pick one dude, do you like him or not?
 
Watching video of Irving I say he is much better then the Media darling Curry. I am sick and tired of any great player here getting the shit treatment. However that is what it takes to to always get beat on and Lonzo Ball is better than CP and Kyrie... I am sick of the left media and my why I realize Kyrie is one hell if not the most underrated player in the NBA to date.
 
Kyrie isn't a great playmaker, he has tunnel vision
that's his only flaw, imo

C'mon. I know we all love Kyrie but Kyrie hasn't shown he is a better overall player than Curry throughout an entire season. Nevermind much better. I do think he has the potential to do it but as of now, his overall game isn't of the same level as Curry.

Kyrie's problem is if his shot isn't falling, he becomes a liability because he isn't able to contribute in other areas. Like I said in another thread, for Kyrie to take that next step from becoming a very good player to a great player, he has to become a much better all-round player and impact the game in ways other than just scoring.

I sure wish Kyrie had a Klay to guard an elite pg but he doesn't have that luxury while Steph does. Of course Steph should have the advantage head to head, right?

Btw I'm not saying Ky's a more impactful player than Curry but damn.
 
Lol. Not going to bother linking the tweet but I think it's safe to say Mitch Lawrence of the NY Daily news fell for some good old fake news/fake twitter account
